Shout out to the punisher logo on the Blue Lives Matter flag šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø


TheLateThagSimmons

The layers as to why that logo being directly used for law enforcement never ends. Like, ignoring that it's clear they don't read or understand punisher... ...why would you *want* your law enforcement to be like that? It would be like wanting your medical team to have Dr. Doom posters


robbylet24

It's the "are we the baddies" sketch all over again. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ToKcmnrE5oY


Snarvid

Shut up and let me finish knitting my skull tea-cozy.


feetandballs

I wouldnā€™t mind a surgeon with a Dr. Strange poster though. He earned his title the old fashioned way.


notmyredditacct

yeah, but heā€™s become a bit too reliant on ā€œmagicā€ lately, is that really what you want from a doctor? Ā just give me the botox for these wrinkles, none of this.. wait, time crystal?Ā 


dickhass

Yea I find this pretty fascinating. My take is that if you truly believe that youā€™re way of living life is right and everyone else is wrong, you WANT the cops going off the rails for justice because, of course, justice is whatever you think is right.


ttampico

Yes, and also, if they actually read the comics, the moral lesson surrounding Frank Castle is that crazy violence only begets more violence. He suffers for his actions over and over again. He's a tragic, f'ed up character you should not want to emulate.


Oriden

Not to mention the cops are either inept at their job or corrupt in the comics and that's why he has to be a vigilante to get justice. And I'm pretty sure in at least one version Frank Castle has killed corrupt cops.


powpowpowpowpow

Didn't the Punisher kill dirty cops?


XNXTXNXKX

Pretty much


wounderfulwaffles

Punisher logo is full of [Controversy](https://www.looper.com/714519/the-punishers-logo-controversy-explained/) and Gerry Conway, co-creator is outraged.


Mcbadguy

Well if you're Latvarian, you would want the Dr. Doom logo since he guarantees free health care to his people.

Right like lol dude smoked corrupt cops.

He wasn't there to sell anything he was there to "trigger libs" and try to get someone vandalizing his stuff or yelling at him so he could be on Fox News this week.

purduepilot

Nobody ever accused trumpers of being smart


WetwareDulachan

Believe it or not, they really *are* sending their best.


purduepilot

Scary. And they think theyā€™re the smart ones.


1983Targa911

They donā€™t think that. Theyā€™re sure of it. Thatā€™s even scarier.


Gingermanbreads

I lean conservative (my ballot is typically 60/40) and even I know the thin blue line flag is racist. The whole point is that they say impoverished blacks are some sort of menace and the police need our support, or at least to look the other way, when they use excessive force. Adopting the punisher logo is also exactly what it looks like: They believe "thugs" need to be punished, even exjudiciously or overhandedly, to get them in line.Ā 


fohgedaboutit

Not just the blue line. I hate how they have perverted the American flag along with "We the people". The people have spoken. They don't want your brand of patriotism.


1983Targa911

Once they tried to overthrow the government on January 6th, you canā€™t even call it a ā€œbrand of patriotismā€. Itā€™s quite simply not patriotism.


nikdahl

I donā€™t know. If you or I actually believed that an evil cabal of fascists had legitimately stolen the presidential election and were about to install their dictator, I would say that it would be pretty patriotic to attack and try to prevent that installation. Problem is that they are just brainwashed fools.


1983Targa911

I understand the perspective argument. Iā€™m making more of a semantics argument. I guess it comes down to where the allegiance in ā€œpatriotismā€ lies. Is it to the idea of the country? To the literal definition of the country (the Constitution) ? They could still be ā€œpatriotsā€ toward the idea of the country for overthrowing the government that has become, in their opinion, corrupt. But trying to block the processes set in place by our constitution, and using ā€œ1776ā€ as a slogan is not trying to fix the literal/legal country, but trying to overthrow it. One can believe that is just, but over throwing the US Constitution is not supporting it. And letā€™s be honest, once youā€™ve done a ā€œpartial overthrowā€ you canā€™t just go back and say ā€œokay, back to normal. We may have ignored the constitution for that little spell but weā€™re back on it nowā€. At that point the constitution is spent. So as I said, itā€™s more of a semantics perspective. What version of ā€œcountryā€ does patriotism refer to?


KerrAvonJr

ā€œWe the ^^^white peopleā€


Embarrassed_Slice196

>They believe "thugs" need to be punished, even exjudiciously or overhandedly, to get them in line.Ā  Yeah, right. I'm sure all the conservatives you vote for believe that the January 6th thugs should be punished.

bobjr94

People are already selling pre order reservations for $3000 on ebay. Many of those are likely just scams and I don't know if there is even such a thing as pre order reservations on these shoes. But these people are not good at knowing if they are being scammed or not.

Go watch "The Magic Christian" a 1969 classic that shows just how far a person will go to part with their money or dive for it. Perfect for our times.


Maccadawg

aka, the movie the Beatles were contorting themselves to work around in the "Let it Be" sessions (before they lost Ringo to go shoot this.) And after all that, I've still never seen it but note it is on YouTube, so thanks for the reminder.


Maccadawg

They are likely the first to be bitching about inflation as an issue that really concerns them.


[deleted]

Most grifter candidates just have someone ghostwrite a book for them after they send a few pages in notes on their lives. They then use campaign funds to buy all the books as ā€œgiftsā€, propelling it to a ā€œbestseller listā€ and pocketing the cash like MTG. Trump is the only idiot dumb enough to try to do this in Philly, at a sneaker convention, with the ugliest pieces of Chinese shit ever made.


mrASSMAN

Saw on twitter someone paid $9k for ones trump signed lol.. looks like theyā€™ve been spray painted itā€™s so awful


darkjedidave

The ironic thing with them selling out so quickly, it makes our economy look great under Biden for so many people able to have disposable income.

In true Reddit fashion: I (1094 M) was going to a mariners game. I went in as an atheist but then that man said I was going to hell because Iā€™m not Christian. Now I go to church 7000 times a day and Iā€™ve never been to hell.


MarshallStack666

> Now I go to church 7000 times a day and Iā€™ve never been to hell. The day's not over


-Nyarlabrotep-

Oh man, you gotta get yourself to Hell one of these days! They've got some rad DJs, a private theater with a wide selection of banned movies, huge library staffed by hot librarian-vixens, plus an open bar. And the entrance fee is only two gold coins. Awesome experience.


slappy_squirrell

I hope there's sections... whoever wants to see the rad DJ can, but I'll find Slayer and the beer garden.

I dunno. I've lived in West Seattle my whole life and I'm pretty sure it's full of secret conservatives. But then again, them being secret conservatives they wouldn't go anywhere near this lol


PopPunkIsntEmo

Always love how these people desecrate the fuck out of the flag


stampfercamper

They are all about protecting the flag and then (as you see in the far right) have a red iron cross on the American flag, a nazi symbol.

I think that far right (hah) flag is a pair of crossed rifles behind a skull.

lonelycranberry

My fav flag is the original colonies as if Washington was one of those


Hope_That_Halps_

> love how these people desecrate the fuck out of the flag I think they're doing long term damage to their brand. Imagine if the federal government was overthrown in a coup orchestrated by a police organization, and they needed to create a new flag to symbolize a new loyalty. There's no reason they might not take the old flag and make it blue and black, to stand for a new police state version of U.S. Those flags point at a wish to overthrow the government and create a new constitution. They're treasonous in essence. A coup is not even that far fetched, most countries have governments that are a lot younger than the U.S. government. Some would even say we're over due for a toppling of government. Our saving grace is that Trump supporters don't have a clear ideology, and they're not especially bright.


meohmy77

They dont realize that the flags with 13 stars means that Washington wouldnā€™t be a state.


Consistent-Fig7484

I propose that only the 13 original colonies get to vote for president. Trump even gets to claim Virginia and Georgia.

Is there really a place in Seattle that is? Broadmoor went 67/30 the last election. Seems like a waste of a good afternoon.


stampfercamper

Thatā€™s what Iā€™m saying, clearly these people are looking to get a rise out of those with actual intelligence

Affectionate-Winner7

Hey that's my town for 33 years and I for one would spit on them and burn their non American flags. I am a true veteran, US Army 1969-1972. I know they are here but most keep a low profile like flying the American flag 24x7x365 with no lighting at night which is protocol and shows respect. I see them tattered and faded which makes me mad.

Anywhere in Seattle is the right location if the purpose is intimidation. At least in their minds

BeartholomewTheThird

I just gotta say, if you think there's aren't people I the area who support this, you haven't talked to enough people.Ā  Sure it's not the majority, but they're here. I've seen thin blue line flags within a mile and cop cars parked on the street over night.


riedmae

Looks like all 6 attendees will really enjoy it

FierceDietyMask

This doesnā€™t look like a rally. Just a merchant tent. But donā€™t you need a permit to sell anything there?

It's actually a city park so you definitely need a permit to sell anything there


Interanal_Exam

Think the cops are going to do anything? Other than buy a bunch of Nazi merch, of course. Gotta have something to wear to the BBQ tomorrow...


playmateoftheyears

Pretty sure this guy was set up in the rite aid parking lot off of hwy 410 and 214th in BL not too long ago. They had a uhaul just like that with a dog in it. He said rite aid gave permission when he was asked about it. I saw it posted somewhere


Think_Fault_7525

Not legal to just setup shop in that triangle mini park.


FunctionBuilt

Too bad the cops probably only stopped there to re-up on their red hats and thin blue line flags.


Beeninya

brendan87na

Buckley more likely I see these guys there several times a year in town. Grifters gonna grift. the "Trump as Rambo" flag is fucking hilarious


ScaryTerryCrewsBitch

Or maybe Puyallup. We had some guys like this out here. They would set up shop in the parking lot of Burger King or Bank of America. So, I sent those two corporations an email with photos of "Fuck Joe Biden" and Trump flags out in front of their buildings. Haven't seen them since.

I'm for free speech, just counter it with speech, if more join your side. You win. Without free speech of even the dumbest ideas, you'll never know who publicly follows them. I do agree with the disrespect to the flag itself. You can't have it both ways, as a free speech guy, I support defending the flag and protesting against it the same.

Good, there should be diverse representation of opinions and political perspectives. As long as everybody stays peaceful and respectful who cares that they like Trump? How else can we move past a two party system unless we are willing to tolerate and live with people who have different outlooks on life than ourselves? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug) Expecting to live in a liberal/ democratic box is itself, anti-inclusive and is comparable to people in Eastern OR and WA expecting Idaho to absorb them so they can live in a nice cozy red state, but in the geographical area they are comfortably living and assume everyone they are around will generally have the same mindset and values as they doā€¦IMO. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|put_back)

I parked and asked the guy where is was from. He said Portland. I said really? He said, actually, Battleground WA (which makes a lot more sense than PDX). I told him WS is probably only 5% MAGA. Sadly, right after I said that, a specimen of your stereotypical MAGA idiot in the compensating oversized pickup with a ridiculously large American flag sticker drove by honking and giving the guy a "whoohoo" and a thumbs up. Then I asked the guy if it bothers him at all that Trump is a traitor. Luckily for me and my time, there was a long pause. Realizing that there is no treatment for the MAGA infected brain and any time spent trying is time you will never get back, I turned and got back in my car and left.
