UnitedHealth CEO Assassinated

That's a pretty broad brush / unscientific approach.

And even with the fake ID they would have had tons of pictures making it easier for someone to identify him or spot him.

Are you seriously denying that when mask wearing is normalized it's not easier for criminals to get away with crimes?

I'm not even in the masks did nothing with regards to COVID camp(although most masks people wore and the way people wore them made them useless) but pretending as a byproduct It doesn't make it easier to commit crimes is silly.

And for most crimes we don't have a large number of cops on the case going backwards for days and days of video like we did here.

What part of "transparent covering exist" do you disagree with?

can go around like this if you think it helps against the terrible virus (or other illnesses)

Without the single picture which they painstakingly got going through hundreds of hours of footage thanks to mask normalization (instead of 30 min of work), the MCD employee woulnd't have recognized him.

Yes disguises as well would be illegal, and makeup doesn't make you irrecognizeable (if it doesn, same rules as mask: illegal). And more than illegal, considered as absolutely weird by normal people, so you get stared at, police gets called and so on.

In the MCD he was eating so the mask was down at times, that's how they recognized him

When Trumpers are convinced that masks are useless, they're convinced that masks are useless.

I'm just surprised that this kid went to the trouble of fake ID's, hoodies, etc., but didn't think to simply add a baseball cap that would have pretty much concealed his entire face.

It's been 6-7 years since the mask enforcement was standard. I would assume you would have data by now to support your argument. Applying the argument to a one off assassination almost 8 years from the start of covid is nutso without any statistical evidence.

No one made this argument. Of course covering your face makes you harder to identify.

That's completely different than you proving there was an increase in crimes using covid masks and this assassination was a prime example.

Wtf are you talking about 8 years since the start of COVID.

Wtf are you talking about 8 years since the start of COVID. It's been about 5 since it was a thing and less than 5 since the world shut down.

You are right I was thinking three election cycles when it's only been two.

Trump has that effect on people. The next four years is going to feel like two decades.

Wearing a mask means you hate yourself? No wonder there is a high suicide rate in dentistry.

do you ever, ever, fact check Steamraise and the mind numbing MSNBC (talk about not being correct) videos that person posts? No. But the line is somehow drawn here?

It's not going to be a 1:1 correlation but it definitely trends in that direction.

No it wasn't.

OK. He was shot before 7am. Sunrise in NYC on that date is after 7am. He was shot before sunrise, but it wasn’t dark and was in fact “broad daylight.” If you say so.

Is your argument that the bottom 90% of folks are happier than before covid? Because we can have an economy with a booming stock market and redic rates of suicide and depression at the same time. Stonks just don't involve the people like they used to.

I think covid was legit and our reaction to it was in the realm of reasonable - but we definitely ****ed up the kids in the process and I don't think the adults fully recognize just how mentally ****ed up they've become in the last 5 years.

Living there probably helps.

Many countries have burkas and the likes .
Do they have higher crimes rates then the U.S. ?

Well social media’s certainly didn’t help either ….
They fack up even adults .

If you have an argument, go ahead and make it. Threatening to ban without a rebuttal is just total weak sauce. I like you and I know you are way better than this.

Well social media is certainly in conjunction with it and it's a problem but covid exacerbated and sped up the process of everything that is disastrous to human beings.

People need friends, personal relationships, in-person interaction. Sure, we can do without those things but if we are going to do it smoothly, you're going to need a very long transitional period that extends more than a few years, or even a few decades.

We obviously saved lives clamping down like we did, but we've got at least a generation of serious drug use and depression involving adults and our kids that we clearly aren't at all prepared to solve.

I mean, we are literally in a thread, wrestling whether or not a left leaning, right wing, environmentalist libertarian crypto bro is a hero for killing an insurance dude.

He's not.

In America you get to pick the color, fabric, and style of the mask you wear. Hindering this concept becomes extroardinarily problematic to the ethos of what "this" place is about.
