i dont think “lightning has a better chance of killing you than a cop” is a point, much less a good one
i havent been told from birth that:
-i should summon lightning if im in trouble
-i can trust lightning and should always tell it truth
-any sort of trouble caused by lightning is just bad lightning, and not at all related to the simple fact of its fucking lightning
-lightning will be there for me, and will never let me down
-lightning kills people, but if that happens they were scum or thugs or they ran because theyre guilty and so who cares lightning killed them stop complaining
theres no videos of eight lightning bolts hitting someone thirteen times each. these are different things and “the cops might summarily execute you” isnt the sort of thing we should analyze as some random chance consequence of existance
16 people died from lightening strikes in the usa in 2017.
1129 people died at the hands of cops in the usa in 2017.
we don’t pay for lightning to exist
And lightening doesn’t strike brown, black and disabled people at several times the national average because it’s fcking lightening
I shall fight whoever came up with that one.
Milo Yianopolous as a matter of fact
