Teen charged after passenger tackled him on Jetstar plane

A 17-year-old boy who allegedly pushed through a hole in the fence at Avalon Airport and got on a plane armed with a gun was overpowered by at least three passengers who spotted his weapon. The teenager, who was dressed as a maintenance worker in hi-vis and wearing a tool belt, was wrestled to the floor of Sydney-bound flight JQ610, which had about 160 passengers on board, just before 3pm on Thursday.

[...]

Police Superintendent Michael Reid described it as a terrifying incident for passengers but said it was too early to establish if it would be treated as a terrorism incident.

Emphasis my own

YT teenager boards a plane with 160 people, brandishing a shotgun, saying he had a bomb in his bag: terrifying, but not terrorism. Makes you think.

Unless you mean the chart labels, the majority of the text is in the post body, sorry though, I picked a silly font because it's a silly post, it shoudnt be used for that much text

Thanks for playing :)

Thank you! This took me the better part of an afternoon haha

I miss my data job

I have your comment as a 'yes', I wasnt being overly rigorous. Remember comrades, a maybe means no. Although considering the seriousness I think a maybe can be a yes here.

Thats why its important to have a username that will sound funny when read out in court x

I only make communist are in GIMP, sorry sweaty

yeah it can feel pretty fucking bleak!

same, I have a job in a restaurant so it's actually fine for me, best year of sleep i've had working where I do now

I aint saying nothin'

I dont really see the use in arguing the semantics of what is or is not a mass casualty event, considring many of what you mention as mass shootings in the popular consciousness do start out with the shooter killing people they know (often women) in their home, workplace etc.

this post reads pretty conspiritorialy, they're not hiding the a mass shooting is 4 people number, it's there for anyone who cares to look. obviously there's some hyperbolic shit in the media, but by this statistic, someone like Kyle Rittenhouse is not a mass shooter, food for thought.

i'm not sure if this is the mindset where they're taking our guns, we need them, rah rah revolution is the base, but do you know what we need a whole lot more than guns? comrades we can trust. communities that are organised and ready to support each other.

I'm not from the USA, but i've seen friends argue about this, and i've especially seen the impact these semantic like points have had on friends who have lived in the USA. Talk of condemning ourselves to pointless slaughter if we're not armed, its unhelpful, it's only driving us apart and keeping us at arms length.

The individualist drive to arm every man woman and child in school, churches, and supermarkets, in their bedrooms, for their protection, does nothing but line the pockets of the arms dealers who would have us all on the frontlines sooner than you could say I will not fight my working class brothers and sisters in Vietnam

sorry that's scattered and a bit ranty, but I absolutely consider someone shooting their partner and child to be a part of the issue we're up against, the conditions we face, capitalism, imperialism, white nationalism, and oppression of the powerless.

haha dark and awful, but we're almost discussing if a shooting is more impacting, if say, it were taken out on a large, christian family, 10 kids or something, uh, #greatreplacement or something I guess.

whew i'm glad I've finally taken the time to articulate that, even for myself.

brb installing a bump at the frontdoor so the counter terrorism officer in a wheelchair and disabled k9 unit can't get into the house
