Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I can't help but think the "Blues" would send in their actual cops and beat the shit out of the "Grays." Even if the police recruitment scheme was to somehow work, you'd have to contend with the feds and possibly the National Guard. The state takes the whole "Monopoly on Violence" thing very, very seriously.

Wait, so cops don't react positively to shouting 'but I pay your salary!' at them when they do things you don't like?

I'm reminded of the woman who got shot during j6 and how surprised some 'reds' were at that happening.
