Let's play troll or not troll?

Most comments on this believe the these people (holding "signs save lives") are naive anti-2A people. Not many people think they're trolls. They must be trolls who infiltrated the protest. If so, they are BRILLIANT. What do you folks think?

These are the people Karl Marx described as "useful idiots" in his writings.

"useful idiots" true. But who is our Karl Marx?

---------------------------------------

But I just can't believe anyone could be this stupid. I just can't. They appear to have survived to reach into their 60s. They must have some wisdom.

Could this be a planned PR/Advertising campaign for the grocery chain? "even bad press is good press"

Sorry for venting, I'm just totally in denial. My brain went <TILT>< ERROR><REBOOT><BLOW CIRCUIT BREAKER>

.... thinking .... thinking .... thinking .... thinking ................................more thinking


ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm still upset. Heck, I tend to be a left leaning conservative (if there is such a thing), but JEEZE, I have a freaking brain. I'm far from perfect, make mistakes and know the I don't know anything compared to the vastness of the universe.... BUT MY GOSH ARE PEOPLE STUPID!!!!!!

OK, this is going to sound like I'm in therapy...... I know why I'm upset.... my whole life I've been surrounded by motivated people who are smarter than me (I choose friends smarter than I to help me stay motivated). At my job, pretty much all of my coworkers are modestly brilliant. They all think critically. Facts before emotions.

I've never been exposed to this level of stoooopid.

It is appearing that the movie "Idiocracy" is coming true:

I'm going to leave the internet for a while to cool off.

I wouldn't call eight people at a protest successful, Two who may be protesting the protesters in my opinion. (that spoon made Rosie O'Donnell fat)

Get help!

[Citiot]

OK, I got some help by going outside to enjoy the hot day. Life is good.

Not upset anymore. Going to accept that they are trolls to make the anti-2A gang look dumb. It's the only logical conclusion.

I should have been out there with MY sign:

WHAT DO WE WANT?
TIME TRAVEL
WHEN DO WE WANT IT?
IT'S IRRELEVANT

[prushin]

Nope. They're not trolls. The purpose of the protest was to get the grocery chain to post that guns were not allowed in the store.

So these 2 suburbanites really believe that if Mariano's will put up a sign banning guns there will be no chance of a shooting in the store.

So, not trolls...Just pitifully sheltered morons.

[yuppiejr]

Technically if the signs were made of 1/2" AR500 steel they might save lives, they do have a point.

I think you're right.

I like the response from certain companies along the lines of "...we will follow all laws in this matter, and will not put any of our employees at risk by asking someone to disarm..."

Think about it, if a certain mall store has three employees, 2 workers and an assistant manager, with no one over the age of 20, would any corporation require a $9/hr 16 year old to ask someone to disarm?

I'm preaching to the choir here. "You can't fix stupid."

[2in2out]

I like Rodentman's sign better.

It's somewhat relevant as to when you get time travel. Haven't you seen the movie Primer?
