Animals Firing Shots at George Floyd Memorial

Posted by Train Dude on Tue May 25 14:40:35 2021

In an appropriate display of criminal violence, at least one person was shot at the george floyd criminal memorial.

Check your favorite news outlet except MSLSD or the Cuomo Nepotism Network.

I've still to meet an animal who can fire a shot from a gun. Maybe a baby chimpanzee trained to do it, but the sound would still terrify the creature. (Adult chimpanzees would not be trainable.)

Humans are animals - we are mammals and primates.

So animals can shoot guns.

Nope; we are not 100 percent animal, mainly because animals cannot defy their instinct whereas we can make moral choices. And I'm not interested in the taxonomy of the left too much any more.

What animal can shoot a gun? What animal can subsequently figure out that it might be a better way to catch prey than using teeth and claws?

Back to chimpanzees: they can be trained to get addicted to nicotine, via smoking cigarettes.

That notorious leftist, Carl Linnaeus, eh?

When he gets letters of admiration from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, one has to look askance at the man . . . since you bring him up.

Remember what Chris Rock said about avoiding any area named after MLK? Well the same can be said for Fentanyl Floyd

I'd say MLK and JFK are two mainstream roads that can go to any area.

When you're on Malcolm X then you know you're in a very black area.

You can probably teach apes to do it, if you can give them a reason to.

What animal can subsequently figure out that it might be a better way to catch prey than using teeth and claws?

Apes have used tools, along with birds and dolphins.

Find an ape than can reason. If they can get that far, then they can construct their own guns. They can't (and won't) get to the stage of using fire to roast iron ore; they do not even get to the notion of using fire for anything, much less cooking, and fire is something they instinctively avoid.

Apes have used tools, along with birds and dolphins

That's not tool use; tools are used to build something more complex than the tool itself. Might as well call nest-building, dam-building (by beavers), hive-building and burrow-building "construction". All instinctive behavior.

Besides, my point about not calling the humans in the OP "animals" is, besides the use of the word as an epithet, is the removal of accountability that the word also implies.

I don't think I've ever lived anywhere that had a street named after JFK (of course there is the huge airport in NYC named after him)

Which reminds me of this (skip to 4:35 if you don't want to see the whole thing).



Yep, in 1955, JFK was just another US Senator lol

It's not a reasoning issue, it's a motivation issue. They don't need to use a gun, plus no handler wants to teach them how to use or supply them with one, so no gun use.

That's not tool use; tools are used to build something more complex than the tool itself.


No, tool use is using external objects to accomplish a task. Nest-building and dam-building are not, by themselves, tool use because the sticks and twigs are being used as building materials, not to assist in the actual building. If a beaver were to build a sled to carry the sticks to its dam, then it would be tool use.

Using an epithet doesn't remove accountability.
