Call me White Wayne all you want, but has a political leader (non-Civil Rights situation) ever been hanged by a member of the public in American history? I always kinda thought the “hang in effigy” thing was a classic political statement showing your dissatisfaction with the guy in office. And the adults in the room who have the ability of critical reasoning would realize that it’s not a terrorist threat nor a racial thing. (I’ll give Britainy Beshear and Ryan Lemond a pass for being upset as they don’t strike me as adults with critical reasoning skills).
Edit: I didn’t follow anything re: he being armed or trespassing. That’s a different thing altogether. But the anger seems to be directed towards the effigy more than the other things.

I mean there’s an argument to be made Andy could have come out and shot at them and been within his legal right to do so.
TO BE CLEAR I’m glad that didn’t happen.
You don't have to bring Britainy Beshear into this....not without posting a pic at least. Good God have you no decency?
The hilarious irony of all of this for both sides is too much to take.
PATRIOT DEFENDER 3%ers: Pretend to be just like the colonists who were willing to die, but cry when you get fired from your job
WOKE idiots/mainstream go along to get along types: "Hanging an effigy is disgusting! This isn't what America is about!" In a month or so, they will be celebrating people who dipped tax collectors in hot tar and beat them half to death (and burned effigies of them) for far less that what our government gets away with.

Dean Smith was hung in effigy once. That was pretty cool.

Low point - Smith hung in effigy
By Larry Schwartz

Perhaps the lowest moment for the coach who would go on to win the most games in college basketball history comes shortly after midnight as the Tar Heels return to the North Carolina campus after last night's 107-85 loss at Wake Forest, their fourth consecutive defeat.
As the team bus pulls up in front of Woollen Gym, Dean Smith and his 6-6 team see about 100 students across the street. Other students are leaning out of their windows. In front of the gym, a dummy is hanging from a noose. "Look, they're hanging you in effigy," says assistant coach Ken Rosemond to Smith. The fourth-year coach stares straight ahead, not displaying any emotion. "I could tell it was me because of its long nose," Smith will write later.
After speaking to his team about that day's upcoming practice, Smith walks to his car. His players are furious. Billy Cunningham, North Carolina's star player, and Billy Galantai bolt from the bus and rip down the dummy. "I remember the team was just very hurt by this because we realized it wasn't Coach Smith's fault," Cunningham will recall. "It was our fault. It was the players' fault."

I’m against hanging a person in effigy if it is someone I support and for it if it is someone I don’t. Pretty simple.
Ha! I can't find a good one that doesn't have Andy or her kids in it.
I shouldn't have said anything about her because she didn't choose her name, but it is terrible. Speaking of bad names, anybody remember that gal named Bambi at UK back in the late 90's? I had a few classes with her - very attractive, yet serious girl - but damn, can you imagine marrying somebody named Bambi? For women that would be like marrying somebody named Pinocchio.
Yet another instance, the simple rule "Just don't be an *******" is just too complex for some to grasp.
The effigy dude and PTI are this week's examples.

So according to The Today Show, the second wave is coming and we are all going to die.

We’re all gonna die. We’re dying from the day we’re born. My grandfather told me that when I was 3 yo and it was as true then as it is now.
Pretty sure this is your best post ever.
50% OF AMERICANS SAY THEY WON'T TAKE THE CORONA VIRUS VACCINE!!!
*note: flu vaccine is rarely over 40ish%.

Is there a more disingenuous political statement after an effigy-type situation than the ole "This is a disgusting, and I really hope that the leaders from the other side come out and condemn their own party harshly."?
Well to be fair, smiling and posing in a picture with the guy who did it is a bad look.
(especially when it’s not the first picture out there of you smiling and posing with one of those nuts)

Montana went from 2 new cases daily two weeks ago to 7 (seven) last week. 450%!!!!!!! (They haven't had a new case in a week).
I'm surprised Cal wasn't burned in effigy over Evansville to be honest.

Gotta make more money than that if you wanna hang with this crowd. Peasant.

If your values and morals put you in a category of, let's say less than 5% of literally everyone else, it might be time to re-evaluate those values and morals.
ThroughBlue has very quickly become the worst, most insufferable poster on GYERO.

Was a huge pain in the *** moving during the start of the pandemic. But damn sure hit the right time to buy, locked in at 2.75%. New construction on 2 acres out in the country, i'm getting ahead of the game on permanent social distancing.
Depends where you live. I can think of several places I’d be in a different category and damn proud!
Is it time to retire the word "pandemic"? The fact that everyone feels obligated to use it to refer to something that is a danger but nothing out of the ordinary is pretty revealing.
Hasn't worn a mask, won't wear a mask, doesn't even OWN a mask.

Can we apply this same logic to marathons, too?
I realize it's the moment astronauts live for, but watching this Space-X countdown coverage all I can think about is what must be going through their (and loved ones) mind & body during countdown.
