The photo was taken by the Irish photographer Colman Doyle. The original caption: “A woman IRA volunteer on active service in West Belfast with an AR18 assault rifle”.
The IRA regularly conducted “show of arms” displays, showing off their modern and numerous weapons.

Fun fact: The El-Salvador prison refuses to imprison any women criminals.

Nothing anyone says matters anymore. We're in a fascist dictatorship and the public doesn't care. If they decided to start burning women for witchcraft in town squares again (I'm betting next month at the latest) the general population will be like "Can they do that?" "Isn't that illegal?"

Someone should press charges!

But I guess society will end that fascist if it ever did happen

Women are too valuable to be warehoused. The young and pretty ones can be trafficked as "Comfort Girls," and the rest are useful as house slaves, cooking, cleaning, tending to the DNA Storage Units/ Organ Donors/ Human Shields, etc.

For now.

People tend to get more upset when women are victimized, but if their husbands are already gone, they are less capable of resistance.

That's okay the USA isn't sending criminals, they're sending legal immigrants and people who post things online that are oppositional to Trump and or fascism.

el salvador translates to "the saviour". this would be a fire album cover.

Then do something about the people that did, because when they come for you the memes won’t be much help.

The number of leftists posting these kids of cool kid memes is significantly higher than the ones that are actual preppers/gun nuts. But if you need a cutting protest folk song, we're your guys.
