This is a safety training session, it's inappropriate to wear tactical stuff like you're going to get in a fight.
Looking at him, I’d say there’s a high likelihood he’s autistic. We’re generally not the best at judging what’s “appropriate” in a social setting. There’s nothing wrong with going up and telling him directly, but shaming isn’t helpful - especially when it’s done behind his back.
Looking at him? Autistic? From a picture? Get real lol
Good argument.
There is no "autistic look" and people with autism often have sensitivity issues, meaning coarse clothes that bind at the joints aren't likely to be chosen by them.
Why are you bending over backwards to defend this shit? It's bizarre...
When people (usually disingenuously) harp on about "mental health funding" after some mass shooting event, this is the shit they're supposedly talking about. These are the people we are supposed to be flagging before they get the go ahead to fucking conceal carry.
It's not a joke, giving this guy guns could literally mean life or death for people. I think it's OK to maybe be extra cautious when it comes to weapons designed to end human life. But that's just me.
Because I'm willing to stand behind my principles even when the entire mob is against me. If there's one thing I despise in this world, it's bullies, and that's what I'm calling you all out on. All you have seen is one picture and you've decided that he's a future school shooter and a nazi. That is absolutely ridiculous leap to make. For all I know he could be a perfectly decent human being with severe case of lack of situational awareness and social norms. I'm however willing to grant him the benefit of the doubt and defend him from the blood thirsty mob even at my personal expense because I think it's the right thing to do.
Sometimes it's good to re-evaluate those beliefs in light of new arguments that maybe you hadn't considered. Nobody is going to judge you here, it's ok to change your mind.
Still not interested in being a bully, sorry.
There's a lot of research showing a link between autism and mass shootings. It's not a cause, but there's a link
Mass shootings cause autism!
