This is by far the best Google Street View screwup I’ve seen yet.

The last time I posted here was in Spring 2018. This blog was called urbanplanningandband and was heavily devoted to marching band stuff, though I got a lot more political later on. I was 19 and studying Urban & Regional Planning at Cornell University, a rather dysfunctional adventure that only lasted one year when I had a mild crisis and realized I was on completely the wrong path. It seems like it’s been so long and so much has changed since then, though not much really has. I may be on a completely different (and much better) track, but I’m still doing college marching band!

I want to bring everyone’s attention to this travesty of a comment thread left on a news article (from the Cornell Daily Sun) about a weapons raid near Cornell University earlier this month.

This thread demonstrates perfectly why our gun debates are going nowhere and nothing is being done to protect us from gun violence here in America. The idea that a violent person could cause harm using means other than a gun has somehow become a popular argument that we shouldn’t try to prepare ourselves for an active shooter, and that idea has turned into actual personal harassment against the people who try to keep us safe and aware. The pro-gun crowd is clearly trying to turn the conversation away from sensible action and instead confuse, harass and gaslight anyone who may be a threat to their ability to own any guns they want.

You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
