I predict the first kid to get pepper-sprayed will be Black.
Not even Polymarket is taking those bets
Aren't most shooters actually white? That was my impression.
Now I am going to Google this. Hello rabbit hole!
Edit: yep it is a white hobby.
(Btw I got the joke- just sayin)
They're saying this will backfire and will attack people who are not actual shooters
Yeah “backfire”
They are saying this is the intention.
It's called Blackfire
you’re not wrong.
in a more comical scenario, i predict that a programming club will get expelled for using their flipper zero to take control of the pepper spraying drone.
I bet it's gonna be Tolkien Black.
The call with Cartman was great.
Didn't you know that the only racist is the person who talks about it like that

Oops, that was just a poptart. We'll release a statement later vaguely alluding to a software malfunction without actually apologizing or assuming any responsibility.
