I don’t see what’s oniony about this, people that don’t pickup after their dogs should be severely and unusually punished. Extrajudicial is just extra justice.
Edit: not picking up dog poop is inconsiderate, murder is abhorrent. Do we really need /s on nottheonion too?
You kinda need the /s if you’re gonna deny the onionnessof the article in the same comment.
Not trying to throwing stones here, but the headline isn’t oniony. Unfortunately it’s unsurprising gun news, it’s also not funny.
The sarcastic part was suggesting vigilante turd policing.
An armed society is a polite deadly society.
In 2021, the most recent year for which complete data is available, 48,830 people died from gun-related injuries in the U.S. In 2021, 54% of all gun-related deaths in the U.S. were suicides (26,328), while 43% were murders (20,958), according to the CDC.
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/26/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/ Besides the ~ 21.000 Murder every year, imagine people would have access to mental health care or a controlled way for people to end their life if they (after consultation) really do not want to continue their lifes. People would not need to use guns to end themself.
Do pro gun advocates cheer for the people who use guns to end themself? I never saw the NRA saying that they are fighting for the right of people to end themself as this is the biggest outcome apprently. 54% of the Time people fire a gun to kill, it is to kill a gun owner (themself).
I certainly don’t celebrate it and I think most of those people were probably making a mistake, but I also think suicide is a legitimate choice that we should accept.
2nd amendment: the right to defend from dog poop.
The only thing you have to fear is fear of dog poop itself!
