Probably a procrastinator, who planned a jewelry store heist for May but kept putting it off?“It happened Monday on North 11th Street near West Juneau Avenue That's about a three-minute walk to the nearest RNC vehicle screening checkpoint on North 9th and West Winnebago streets.”
IOW, he was a few blocks away. He could’ve been fixing to rob his dealer for all we know.
It’s only going to be banned for the “wrong people” owning it…if they sell to Americans, it’ll stay.I am still waiting for the day that TikTok is banned.
Yea, I never heard of a "AK-47 Pistol" until this thread....then again, I'm a bit behind on the firearms of the day.

It’s a capitalist shakedown, “hey this here’s a nice social-media-platform that you have, that we want, sell it to us or we’ll burn it down.”
This was the weapon the guy had? It says "Romania" on the side.
I was born near there in Bulgaria about 220 miles (350 km) from Romania, and adopted before the age of 2. Glad I do not live in Eastern Europe, cos it can be violent over there.
Why go through all the trouble off out-competing TikTok when they can just shut it down if ByteDance doesn’t cave?Owning it....collecting data from it...using it for social engineering...
That's not how capitalist shakedowns work lol.
First, they come up with a highly competitive similar app to drive down the value of TikTok. Once they've grabbed enough of the user base, they buyout TikTok and kill the competitive app.
Then they make the app ad-free for a monthly subscription fee, which then gets divided up into tiers so that suckers believe they're paying for something premium when they used to be able to use the app for free for the exact same service.
Then they paywall the most popular content (whatever that is) and offer users the ability to "interact" with content creators for money.
You build a large base of "talented" creators by incentivizing these paid interactions with payouts to the creators.
Once you've maximized growth, then you extract the maximum amount from both creators and users through this monetization process and throw the advertisements back in for what is now a subscription required app.
That @Pommer, is a capitalist shakedown. I've also heard that "capitalist shakedown" is a new dance trend on TikTok.

My libtard card is going to be confiscated any moment.Now now....assuming he's both a thief and addict just because he's black?
Tsk tsk.
Yeah, it is a similar one, by the same company, if I am not mistaken.It's a picture of a similar gun from my understanding....not the exact same weapon had by the suspect.
Bulgaria huh?
Last thing I saw about Bulgaria is illegals crossing into Poland from there killed a Polish border guard....with a spear.
So now Poland has authorized lethal force on illegals who get out of line.
Join the centrists, my friend. No one will confiscate your centrist card.My libtard card is going to be confiscated any moment.
For the record, I actually consider myself a technocrat. As long as they're aware of the limitations of their models, I'm happy to let the nerds run things regardless of where their policies may fall on the left-right spectrum.Join the centrists, my friend. No one will confiscate your centrist card.
Though, the far-left and the far-right might not like what centrists have to say.
I like technology also, as long as we use it for good, and the tech is more open source instead of run by massive corporations. Renewable tech is also good for helping our country get off of foreign oil.For the record, I actually consider myself a technocrat.

That's okay we all have our unconscious biases.My libtard card is going to be confiscated any moment.

Yeah, that is the sad reality. Centrists are invisible in our society, even though centrists exist. My guy, @chevyontheriver could be considered to be a centrist.Far-left and far-right don't believe centrists exist lol. You're just not them in disguise.
