The shirts will be returned to China or will be “destroyed under CBP supervision."

      I think they should have gone with hornets. I may not like bees, but they serve a useful function. Hornets, however, exist solely to perpetuate suffering in the world. They should get along with cops great.

    Its pretty easy to print tshirts inside the US… its not like semiconductor manufacturing.

      T-shirts made in the US are going to be much more expensive than Chinese T-shirts.

        American Apparel was doing it in LA and the prices were competitive. They eventually went bankrupt and got acquired by Gildan but it was working well for a time 🤷‍♂️

            Maybe, but who fucking cares about the capitalists? We got nice and reasonably priced tshirts and other clothing that were MaDe In ThE UsA.

            It was 2017 in LA. Despacito was rocking hard at #2 on the Billboards. Of course drugs were involved.

              I remember reading an interview with the founder in…I think VICE? Print magazine form. Like 20 years ago or so?

              It talked some about the economics of making clothing in the US and all, but mostly I remember the guy having his secretary suck him off during the interview. So yeah…management issues.

          American Apparel was relaunched as Los Angeles Apparel and is very successful and working out of the same location as the original.

        According to my quick search, you completely fabricated that. And I’m a gun nut, you would think I would have heard that somewhere.

            Posting again: Yes, Ian covered that gun on Forgotten Weapons. It’s rare and weird, who actually has one, has seen one, has used one? How many people would relate that episode to this meme shirt?

            Search anyway you like and show me bullets related to bees in any sort of even mildly popular reference.

              It’s pretty common in literature, one that pops up immediately is Hemingway liked to use that imagery, it’s definitely in a farewell to arms.

              I’m gonna stop here and let you have your own opinion just the same.

          and you’ve never heard of the American-180? Which is colloqially known as the swarm of angry bees?

            Yeah, but only because I saw Ian’s presentation on Forgotten Weapons. Hardly a widespread meme.

            Got backing? I couldn’t find a single source. Not without really stretching. OP claims:

            Bees sometimes mean bullets

            Find that, any way you like.

        I thought it represented the idea that on your own you most likely wouldn’t be able to hurt a cop, but if you work together as a group that they wouldn’t stand a chance.

    Is it weird that these look really tame to me?

    People were driving around with pictures on the back of their truck tailgates depicting Biden and/or Harris tied up in the backs of their trucks.

    A t-shirt showing a police officer who looks like he’s from the 1930s and nothing at all like a modern cop looking like he’s flinching from a swarm of bees… big fucking deal.

    Who was threatened by this? What wimp did this make afraid? Are their worried Druids are gonna start sending bees after them?

    I think that cop is copied right out of a DC Comic.

      The cop was not copied, the manufacturer owns that image, it’s in the story. The shirts were taken because of feelings.

      Yeah it’s almost like (the majority of) my fellow Democrats were dumb and wrong for being so anti-gun because at this point, there aren’t enough armed Democrats to make a difference.

      Oh, people are going to protest while unarmed? That’s cute - you saw how well that worked for BLM, right?
