Greetings! The name is Time Lizzy, or Time as my friends call me. They/Them pronouns. I love to try new things, draw, sing, dance, garden, and I do some witchcraft in my free time. I'm a Hetalia role playing partner if you guys are interested.
yall CANNOT ignore that the mass shooter in florida was a member of the Republic of Florida, a white supremacist and sucessionist group. gun control and talking about it is good, but you guys CANNOT keep ignoring the fact that most of these mass shooters are white supremacists and misogynists and this motivates them to be terrorists. stop ignoring it, PLEASE.
Just saying “I don’t watch TV” sounds pretentious, but there’s a big difference between “I don’t watch TV because I feel that the entertainment of the common masses is beneath me”, and “I don’t watch TV because I’m too busy marathoning YouTube videos of a guy 100% clearing Super Mario 64 without pressing the A button”.
I know it sucks we have to talk about this but in light of the fact that Black Panther is coming out this weekend I think it needs to be addressed. The possibility of a shooting happening at a Black Panther screening is very real, seeing as there will be very high populations of people of color going to see this movie.
Here are some tips I learned in school for surviving a shooting, modified a bit to match the setting.
1. TAKE NOTE OF YOUR EXITS. Your first instinct should be to GET OUT if at all possible. If you are near an exit, GET TO IT and run. Call the police and get somewhere safe. Remember, shooters have tunnel vision. If you are lucky enough to be within a shooter’s peripheral vision, you have a good chance of being able to escape.
2. If you are unable to exit the theater, HIDE. Get down under your seats, crawl underneath chairs to get to an exit, whatever. If necessary, smear yourself with blood and cover yourself with a dead body and play dead. I know it’s gross and horrible, but this is something that can save lives. Many shooters are not going to go around shooting dead bodies; their goal is to kill as many people as possible. If you look dead, there’s a chance they won’t shoot you.
3. If you cannot hide and you cannot escape, AMBUSH THE SHOOTER. You need to get a group of people to do this, and I’m not sure how that would work–if you’re going with a group of people you could all agree to jump the shooter if you were near him, or someone could shout “JUMP HIM” in the theater and a group of people would jump him.
This is very effective. A single person WILL NOT be able to withstand a group of four or more people bringing him down, especially if you distract him beforehand by throwing WHATEVER YOU CAN at him.
That means food, popcorn buckets, sodas, purses, bags, WHATEVER. Like I mentioned before, shooters have tunnel vision and will not be expecting objects being thrown at them.
It takes a shooter a certain amount of time to go through the mental process of finding a person, locking that person as a target, aiming, and shooting. Anything you can do to disrupt that process causes that person to start it all over again. DISRUPT THAT PROCESS BY THROWING WHATEVER SHIT YOU CAN FIND AT HIM. In the seconds he has to go through that mental process again, ambush him, get him on the ground, kick his weapon away, and call 911.
If you have any more tips, please feel free to add on. Keep your friends and family close. Stay smart. Stay safe.
The fact that people feel the need to post and share this is so damn sad
It is sad but I think its better to be safe then sorry. It has happened before….
I hate that this is something that people need to worry about, but it needs to be shared.
Reblogging since a shooting happened this week. (I like the ambush idea since that could really prevent more deaths)
Okay, because I’m getting so many anons accusing me of “Ambushing is not a good idea!!” or “Are you even qualified!?!!?” I’m going to link the program that my school is requiring my student body to do. This is a REAL program that (for us, anyways) is taught by our police department, SWAT team members, and our school security guards. The program explains that while attacking the shooter should always be a last resort, it’s effective when used.
Mimikyuu were rarely seen in the past. It would hide in dark caves, crevices and other spots to avoid sunlight. They adopted cloths as a means of becoming more mobile, and to get closer to people. During the Alolan Pikachu craze they adapted further.
It was believed that Mimikyuu used their disguises to lure in children to eat. This old wive’s tale has only recently been challenged by trainers of Mimikyuu.
Although they are shy around people and other pokemon, Mimikyuu seem to have an almost telepathic connection to others of its kind. If you befriend one Mimikyuu, others seem to instinctively trust you.
Mimikyuu like the rain, but their costumes often end up dripping wet and smudged.
They make squeaker noises, much like a popular stuffed toy.
Mimikyuu like hanging onto bits of fabric belonging to their trainer, such as an old sock or handkerchief. If your socks keep going missing, your mimikyuu may have started a little collection.
You have traveled far and wide to find yourselves here, in the Solis Realm. Below we have provided you a map to navigate your way through this strange and wonderful realm. Though, do not take this lightly, for the fates of these kingdoms may yet lie in your hands.
2p Italy: “I see your point and I agree…but as devil’s advocate…” Luciano would love to debate with his s/o, especially if they are good at it. His favorite thing to do in a debate is play devil’s advocate. He likes to see how people work under pressure and how fast they can think when pressured. Luciano will never get nasty with a debate, but he will make the other person sweat and he will love every second of it. Though if they debate well, they will earn his respect at the end of it all.
