Matt Boyd, who draws online comics and worked for the government, got fired on the day of the vtech thing because mentioned to a colleague that he might want to buy a gun for target practice. Another colleague got scared and spoon her pants so she went to the manager and he got Boyd fired.

Because he of course found this ridiculous, he, as any artist who were fired would do, made a comic about it:



And guess what, the authorities paid him a visit! They interpreted this comic as a threat towards his former employer. LOL, double you tee eff!

MMzzz... dam paranoid bastards lolz

that's terrible.
all the children in the US are being raised as worthless pansies and can't handle confrontation with people. alternatively, it is a scary world out there, but there are too many idiots who don't realize that for every evil, disgusting thing they advertise happening on the news, there's plenty of healthy people doing wonderful things elsewhere. like comic artists who make (poorly timed) funny jabs at things, and get visited by the authorities.

there's a big difference between this guy, who made a comment about owning a gun, and the kid who did the MTV gaming program (name escapes me) and threatened that chick in writing, referencing the VA Tech murders. stupid, timid little children.

HAHAHA

authorities like to bull spoon

I like to bullchocolate, authorities like to waste time and money on bureaucracy.

yeah
