It is shocking to me that nobody got why xenophobia heavily contributes to the current population collapse in Greece (especially given the headlines of the past ~decade) and that nobody got the My Big Fat Greek Wedding reference before you did.

The effective range of an AK-47 is 380 yards. The shots were taken somewhere between 300 and 500 yards. I don't think the shooter had a chance of making that shot and it is more likely that he was just trying to make himself famous.

I have this sneaking suspicion that the first attempt was the equivalent of Columbine and, just like with the explosion in school shootings since then, any loser that wants to make a name for themselves is going to take shots at politicians.

It's Sunday morning. Plenty of time to debate this important matter.

EDIT: The answer is yes.

Somewhere along the way my copy got janked. I liked it so I keep using it.

Which edition of Mint?

That's just not true, but I do see where the perception comes from. I am gen-X and raised well within peak chauvinism and toxic masculinity. Along the way, nation-wide sensibilities started to change and we are all better for it. The problem is that as we tried to right the wrongs, we as a society forgot to change the way we raised young boys. We began to raise our girls to be independent, demand respect and equality (all great things), but we forgot to stop raising our boys in a way that ties their self worth to sexual prowess, maximum aggression, ability to provide for a family, and all the other metrics that only apply to the old family centric, male dominated structures. Yes, we started to raise boys better now but change is slow and all those other boys now find themselves ill prepared and with a strong sense of entitlement to a world and way of life that simply doesn't exist. Some boys/men adjust, but others are just throwing a tantrum. To those "men" all I can do is respond like someone raised in the old ways. "Stop being a fucking little whining removed, man the fuck up, and adapt! Show me that you aren't worthless or shut the fuck up. Fucking baby."
