This motherfucker is slowly making his way toward my home and children. Last sighting is 35 min away or so.

I don't have a gun and I regret that choice right now. I wouldn't wish this feeling of helplessness and terror on anyone.

This is always a mental health issue at its core.

Humor me and pick up a copy of Susan Faludis book "stiffed"

This is the 90s all over again. Fuck.

Where was this?

Lewiston Maine. The (formerly) safest state in the union.

Dudes Twitter likes were Trump Jr, tucker Carlson and all kinds of other MAGAt fodder. Also one of two retweets mentioned mass murder.

You don't need a gun. Just call the police. They'll take care of you.

🤣

[-] Woht24@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

You think the police will come and take care of you because you feel scared when there's an active shooter on the loose?

Ridiculous.

Oh, I don't. I'll protect myself. Where I live the police are about fifteen minutes away. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Yup. I used to be a vol firefighter. If your response time for any emergency service is under 5min you're very lucky. But often even that isn't enough. You need the tools and skills to do what you can until help arrives. Fire prevention, medical and self/fam defense. Until they get there it is up to you, and many people don't realize that.
