Yep. Which... I mean, the whole "symbols have meanings and fake guns are also symbols" thing is true, but at some point it feels like we don't deal well with the collateral damage of police idiocy.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
