Police north of Toronto say the man who allegedly brought a nail gun to a pro-Palestinian protest outside of a synagogue in Thornhill, Ont. and fired it last weekend was partly motivated by hate.

      Alternative opinion, that’s Jesus’s least favorite gun.

          Bruce Wayne is scared of bats though. That’s one of the reasons for the bat costume.

    Well yeah, I wouldn’t think he was firing a nail gun at people he was hopelessly in love with!

      Says you! I shoot my nail gun at workers on telephone poles because I don’t want them to fall.

        I bought that dollar suitcase too, but it was in Europe so the postage meant it was just an empty suitcase.

    Wow, that’s surprising. Usually it’s not hate when I’m looking to nail something.

      Usually, but occasionally rarely there’s the hatefuck.

      If you get in an argument with your neighbour and put a framing nail into him, that’s assault. If you put that nail into protected minority and it can be proven that you were motivated by bigotry and a desire to subjugate that minority, you are guilty of a hate crime, which is a much more serious crime
