We live in a world in which a warning against such a stupid idea need to be made... because some really intend to do it... :roll:

Kind of a non-issue since only a very very few people are that dumb. Besides, I don't think the bullets will land in Quebec so you're out of danger.

people consider it because they think they will kill the hurricane or they just are curious about what will happen?

The person who posted it, met it as a joke and the same with the people who "liked" it. No one took it seriously...

On bags of charcoal, there are warnings against barbecuing inside one's tent, house, or car. I don't know if anyone out there was ever dumb enough to actually try it, but that industry chose to get on top of the situation in case there was. Maybe there is some dullard out there who had figured he'd save everyone and shoot the hurricane to death. :lol:

When it's cold and the power goes out some people use barbecues as a way to heat houses. Bad idea, it happened a decent amount when we had massive blackout a few years ago.

You'll find that this is Ezra's brand of sarcasm.
Not to worry....

Sarcasm,okeydokey then.I've had people take my sarcasm seriously before.Like when I jokingly called Canadians "Frost-backs."
That term was from NPR's Prairie Home Companion.

A good part of my dad's side of the family are from the Texarkana region. And there are those on the left would likely label them all ignorant art hating book hating beer swilling redneck lowlife white supremacists.

The left seem to believe it's acceptable to spew as much bigotry and hatred as possible at that demographic.

Did he ever tell you about the Fouke monster ?My ex's fam was from that area.
Maybe some of the left,I didn't bother to ask the rude tourists their political leanings.
Seems like an equal amount of bigotry from the left and right in RL,more left leaning on the net.

Chiggers is a type of mite, that bites and can cause skin irritation... It's not a racial term for our few oversenstive, SJW type members we have.
