    Ugh, these were funny till a sovcit murdered a process server here in KC yesterday. He was just serving an eviction notice, had nothing to do with that guy’s problems, literally shooting the messenger. These leave a bad taste now.

    Edit: Disregard all of that. I was misinformed until someone can find the source my husband was reading. Sorry everyone.

    Edit 2: Found what he was referencing. It was someone on Reddit… Link for the curious, but there’s nothing substantial Sorry again.

      Wait, how do you know the murderer is a sovcit? I didn’t see anything about it in the article. I’m not saying he’s not, I’m just curious.

        My husband told me when he was reading about it yesterday…

        Now I can’t find anything about it…

        Why does my mouth taste of shoe?

        Edit: Found what he was reading. It was a Reddit comment…. Dubious source to say the least. Apologies.

      Do you feel bad for cops who get (rightfully) killed while carrying out unjust laws? You don’t get to have your cake and eat it, too. A person doesn’t get to align themselves with the state against the people and then claim victimhood when they suffer the consequences of class betrayal.

        If you feel the laws are unjust, the effort should be on changing the law, not liking the people enforcing them. Who gets to decide which laws are unjust?

        I feel bad for people who are killed. Full stop.

        They may have deserved to be killed for some reason or it may have been necessary but it still sucks.

          This. You can dislike someone and still recognize that a thing is sad, and that the people who loved them are suffering.

          Not touching the extremist “everyone aligned with the state should die” argument. I have enough things to make me angry in my life, I don’t need to pull out a broad generalization that’ll anger me whenever I speak to my mailman.

      So what’s your solution? Someone borrows money and then doesn’t pay it back - do we shrug and say “oh well, I guess he doesn’t have to?” Without enforcement of collecting debts, the whole lending system breaks down. So what, you can only buy a house if you have the full cash price for it? That’s going to hurt everyone except the rich.

        Stopping predatory lending and free healthcare will take care of most of it.

          Those are important things to do, but we’ve had collections agencies way longer than either of those things have been a problem.
