The woman, known online as Lizzy Ashliegh, posted a video on TikTok of an incident that she said took place near Penn Station around 1 a.m., when a man ripped off a turquoise wig from her head. In the video, which had over 500,000 views Wednesday evening, Ashliegh, who is audibly distraught, asks the man, 'For what reason did you take my wig off?'

Addendum: this appears to be the slightly redacted #CharacterisationDerivativeWorkCoOption version of the #MemeHowToRuinACity, the full version has the #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryNWord on the shaker instead simply the letter 'N'. The symbol of #BeliefJudaismStarOfDavid is also visible (as per the circle with the star inside visible on the edge of the sleeve). Assuming this is so, the sum of the collected symbols adds up to the #OtheringHateAntisemitismCaricaturePuppetMaster canard, where in this case supposedly #IdentityJewish people are behind a conspiracy to corrupt cities through promoting #PhenomnMulticulturalism. More directly in terms of the illustration, to transform an (assumed) #PhenomnMonoculturalism.ural society into one based on policies of #PolicyDiversityEquityAndInclusionDEI, which would logically include people with #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfrican heritage (among others).

Addendum: noticeably, such memes generally focus the perpetrators of gun crime while failing to mention a key precondition - that of easy access to firearms as guaranteed by the #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms. #TheoryOfAffordances i.e. guns are lethal devices whose design are intrinsically linked to their violent potential e.g. https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-11004-7
Versus #TheoryInstrumentalism 'value neutral' arguments such as those of the #AdvocacyUSNationalRifleAssociationNRA e.g. "guns don't kill people; people kill people" (thereby absolving gun advocates, gun manufactures etc. of any responsibility). #CatchcryGunsDontKillPeoplePeopleKillPeople

Addendum: #TheoryInstrumentalism argument in support of #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms e.g. something along the lines of "a gun is just a tool (which is therefore neutral of cultural influence and consequence)". The argument runs contrary to the #TheoryOfAffordances where it is the fact that guns afford killing/injuring when used whereas a pencil only affords writing and neither failing/passing an exam. Because doing so, is the affordance of the exam-sitter's ability to interpret and understand the answers the exam expects and to use appropriate communication in order to do so. #CatchcryGunsDontKillPeoplePeopleKillPeople

#MagazineHarvardBusinessReviewAndrewWinston "5. ESG Investing is dead. Long live ESG Investing.
A so-called ESG backlash (part of the 'anti-woke' movement) from the right-wing in the U.S. is certainly making waves. Florida pulled $2 billion in assets from mega-asset manager BlackRock to protest its support for ESG, climate action, and stakeholder capitalism. The state of Texas moved to bar state contracts with banks that are reducing investments in fossil fuel companies or gun manufacturers. The backlash is based on the fiction that, as Ceres' Mindy Lubber put it, 'climate-smart business practices are somehow a secondary, ideologically driven sideshow to real financial concerns.' In truth, climate change and clean tech create enormous risks and opportunities for companies and deeply affect their profitability and prospects. Investors need to understand and incorporate those risks into their assessments." https://hbr.org/2022/12/2022-a-tumultuous-year-in-esg-and-sustainability

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianArwaMahdawi "it seems doors are the newest enemy of the Republican party. In the wake of the horrific elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas - where 19 children and two teachers were killed by a teenager with military-grade weapons - some Republicans are choosing to channel their energy towards the important question of door control.
'You want to talk about how we could have prevented the horror that played out across the street?' the Texas senator Ted Cruz said on Wednesday, while standing outside Robb elementary school. 'Having one door that goes in and out of the school, having armed police officers at that one door.'
An ordinary person would have paused for a second after saying something so patently ridiculous and then, hit by the realization that they had just blamed the massacre of school children on the problem of 'too many doors and not enough guns'" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/may/28/republican-party-texas-school-shooting-doors

'What's not so typical is that Brenna's parents lawfully open carry handguns for self-defence.'

My Parents Open Carry is, say the authors, 'written in the hope of providing a basic overview of the right to keep and bear arms as well as the growing practice of the open carry of a handgun', because 'we fear our children are being raised with a biased view of our constitution and especially in regards to the 2nd Amendment'." https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/aug/04/pro-gun-picture-book-children-my-parent-open-carry #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms

Context: "Why more shootings lately? I suspect the increased indoctrination of kids in classes and social medias on with WOKE ideologies, CRT, cancel culture, diversity politics, racial hate, gender war, trans grooming..etc for 2 decades or more.
What MOTIVATES hate in a kid or young adult's mind to pick up a weapon to kill, starts by what's shoved into a CHILD's immature mindset to comprehend and understand.
Bad situations start with bad ideas too young for kids to understand, and worst if he or she suffers from mental illness. WE ARE looking in all the wrong places to blame that on Guns. Guns DID NOT PUT THE BAD INTENTION IN THE KIDS OR PERSON FIRST, it is what was taught or shared as an idea or an idea of hate initially.
Instead of teaching kids academic subjects (Math, Science, Technology, Geography, History..etc) ADULTS as TEACHERS fill their heads with mature problems, adult subjects, politics, all forms of sexual freedom, grooming them to pick a side from even their parent..etc.
KIDS are too young to understand or should be burdened to think about at their young age. Thus confuse them and when some has mental illness as well, THIS IS LIKELY WHAT HAPPENS AS AN ENG RESULT.
GUNS DO NOT KILL PEOPLE. PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE. AND THEY START WITH A BAD IDEA OR INTENT. THIS IS ON THE EXTREME LEFT AND THEY HAVE MUCH TO ANSWER FOR OR THIS WILL KEEP HAPPENING.
The DEM do not care. They just want to use this shooting as an excuse to take away guns. As that is simpler to do then admit, they MIGHT BE THE REASON WHY THIS IS HAPPENING TO BEGIN WITH. THINK ABOUT IT. "
Supplementary: "although other weapons are involved in homicide, firearms are not only the most deadly instrument of attack but also the most versatile. Firearms make some attacks possible that simply would not occur without firearms. They permit attacks at greater range and from positions of better concealment than other weapons. They also permit attacks by persons physically or psychologically unable to overpower their victim through violent physical contact." https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/firearms-and-assault-guns-dont-kill-people-people-kill-people-gun

Addendum: (as per hashtag above) presumably the tweet is responding to #MassShooting2022BuffaloSupermarket i.e. a #ReasoningFallacyWhataboutism to distract away from this shooting's racial profile i.e. a #SlurWhiteSupremacy.ist murdering #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfrican.s. It also functions as a rebuff for criticism that #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms is central to the problem i.e. that 100% of shootings are the result of people who have a gun(s) in their possession.

Potential voters were assigned one of five personality groups: risk-takers, carers, go-getters, individualists and supporters. Each got a tailored message. Risk-takers were viewed as highly neurotic and susceptible to ads that pricked their fears, Cambridge records show. Go-getters, on the other hand, would respond better to messages of optimism and the promise of a better future. ...
For the gun industry, a Democratic majority in the Senate and a Hillary Clinton presidency would have meant more legislative battles and a possible return to gun restrictions and loss of profits. Patrick O'Malley, the man who had been running the NSSF's largely successful electioneering effort for more than a decade, realized it needed to modernize, according to Cambridge emails.
So in April 2016, O'Malley, an NSSF contractor and political consultant, hired Cambridge Analytica.

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraphEdwardMalnick "The advertising boycott of GB News shows Britain can no longer take basic democratic values for granted, the Culture Secretary has warned.
Writing for The Telegraph, Oliver Dowden said a 'vocal Twitter minority' was targeting the 'free and diverse media' and the 'right to dissent'.
The Cabinet minister pledged: 'We will not stand by and allow that to happen.'
In an escalation of the Government's so-called 'war on woke', Mr Dowden insisted the fledgling centre-Right broadcaster is right to seek to 'empower' viewers who feel that their 'concerns have been unheard'.
His intervention came after several companies withdrew advertising from GB News in its first week on air in the face of a 'stop funding hate' campaign.
Mr Dowden said: 'When he launched the channel, veteran broadcaster Andrew Neil vowed that GB News would not be 'an echo chamber for the metropolitan mindset', and that it would 'empower those who feel their concerns have been unheard'.
'Rightly so. A free media is one that has a diverse range of opinions and voices.'
Mr Dowden identified the protection of journalism and political opinions as 'the grounds of a functioning democracy', adding: 'Sadly, we can no longer take them for granted.
'Across the West, our values of tolerance and freedom of expression, for which previous generations have fought and died, increasingly risk being undermined by a small but vocal minority. For them, these are not absolute, but relative, concepts, ready to be bent to silence dissent from their world view.'
In an interview with The Telegraph, Frank Luntz, the veteran US pollster behind use of 'climate change' instead of 'global warming' said he fears 'capitalism' is becoming a 'bad word' in Britain, and said he is seeking an alternative to the word." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/06/19/exclusive-gb-news-boycott-shows-cant-take-democratic-values/

#NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWashingtonPostMerylKornfield "A Georgia prosecutor on Tuesday said a grand jury should review the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery, who was killed in February after being chased by two armed men who told police he looked like a burglary suspect.
The lack of charges thus far has enraged advocates across the country, who have expressed deep frustration with both the shooting of the unarmed man and how the case has been handled. ...
'Mr. Arbery had not committed any crime and there was no reason for these men to believe they had the right to stop him with weapons or to use deadly force in furtherance of their unlawful attempted stop,' [Lee] Merritt wrote in a statement. 'This is murder.'"
