Why would you light the back of the arrow on fire?

1. The shield looks like a coffin lid.

[roody]

3. Likely the adult's coffin.

[MuseRider]

7. I thought it looked like

the top to a trash can and was puzzled by that. It was a much smaller picture though, it does look like the lid of a coffin. How perfect. Idiots.

[Midnight Writer]

2. Is that Jennifer Garner?

[GoCubsGo]

4. That is beyond weird.

I wonder which drugs the "artist" was on when he/she painted that. Looks like some of that nutjob McNaughton's crap.

[MustLoveBeagles]

32. The content of the painting is repugnant

I don't like it but unlike other RW artwork it doesn't look like it was done by a 5 year old.

5. The Vaccine Isn't Blue, Either

Really stupid imagery.

[Klaralven]

8. Euthanasia drugs for vet use are

[ProfessorGAC]

14. I Believe You

But, somehow I doubt the artist knew that or was referencing euthanasia drugs.
I did use the word "vaccine" in my post.

[jmowreader]

35. I think that's exactly what he was referencing

These maniacs believe the vaccine, not the virus, is what kills.

[ProfessorGAC]

36. Agree On The Latter

Don't agree that the artist was referencing euthanasia drugs.
Just artistic license in a stupid work.

[Liberal In Texas]

34. Well, you know. Blue Liberals.

Red = RWNJs

[Pantagruel]

6. The anti-vaxers

spent hours trying to light the stone arrow heads, finally gave up and torched the fletching.

[Walleye]

11. 😆

[yardwork]

33. Lol!

[edhopper]

9. The Bible has been a protection against plague

for centuries. But now it appears to also be protection against vaccines.

Sure to work as well as it did in the 13th Century.

[CaptainTruth]

10. That is one of the dumbest images I've ever seen.

Do they really believe they are immune to wounds caused by arrows? I would like to point out to them that this is a thesis which can easily be tested.

[Walleye]

12. The bloodlust is strong in these people. Apparently life is nothing but violence with them

[onethatcares]

13. "not to worry sonny"

"tis merely a flesh wound".

I picture the female as saying, "See this? It's a book and you'll never see another cause they're filled with bad things like words".

[Caliman73]

15. Inaccurate!!!

Where is the GUN? That baby should have a GUN in his hand dammit!

Also, where are the arrows coming from? Certainly one or two would have slipped by that mom's incredibly sloppy human shield and hit the kid... I mean come on...!

[Solly Mack]

16. One sign of a sick mind.

[WarGamer]

17. The actual answer (unrelated to thread topic)

Is the burning arrow is more visible to the Archer.

It tell them how to adjust their aim to bring the next arrow closer on target... or of course, burning arrows are shot at wooden structures including ships to light them on fire.

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. Wouldn't it burn the archer's hand?

I suppose you could try lighting the front of the feathers, and shoot it quickly before it gets to the absolute rear where you're holding it.

[WarGamer]

19. I think the illustration is just that... an illustration

The arrow would have been lit near the head so I assume the back of the arrows burn AFTER the arrow has impacted because fire burns UP.

Still a really silly illustration, sick and stupid on many levels.

[canetoad]

21. Setting fire

To the flights of an arrow plays absolute hell with accuracy.

[Progressive Jones]

26. It's got to. The flights are necessary. That's why they were invented. LMAO !!! nt

[Paladin]

20. So, the anti-vax crowd is reduced to that level of sick imagery?

Why aren't we beating the shit out of these deranged people, both as to public opinion, and (if needs be) physically?

And what's that book that the woman is showing the kid? "Better Archery In 117 Easy Steps"?

[Progressive Jones]

27. Patience... nt

[Paladin]

29. Sorry, I've run out of it. (nt)

[A HERETIC I AM]

22. A book full of blank pages.....

And a woman with arrows in her back, protecting the child from what?


Knowledge and reason, apparently.

[Progressive Jones]

28. You see, the arrows are the liberal gubmint attack on our freedumbs. TIRRANNY !!!111 nt

[Retrograde]

23. Are you sure those aren't tiki torches?

I have no idea why they'd be in someone's back, but torches make about as much sense as giant hypodermics - i.e., not much

[roamer65]

24. This is how real RW fascist scumbags handle children.

[MustLoveBeagles]

30. +1

Points for The Dead Zone reference.

[Progressive Jones]

25. All this image is missing is Pretty Boy White Jesus standing in the background. nt

[mahatmakanejeeves]

31. That's to set the stockade on fire. If the attack is not on the U.S. cavalry, then

that's to set the hay in the settlers' barn on fire, so the horses will panic.

I was going to present a dramatic image of The Smoking Gun, but every image shows it's the front of the arrow that's set on fire.
