Question to people downvoting this. I thought the community is called “no stupid question” to encourage questions that people would otherwise hesitate to ask. Downvoting them sends mixed signals, doesn’t it?
Why do big people wear the tiniest shit especially at rallys or riots? Like on Jan 6 I saw a bunch of big stupid people have on bullet proof vest that was only maybe 6inch by 6inch or tinier?

The downvoting isn’t because the question is stupid.

Ignoring the bulletproof vests for a moment, they usually have the clothes from before they got that big. It’s not like your habits suddenly change, they’re usually always slowly growing until something clicks and they go on a diet.

Stuff’s not exactly designed for “fatties”. /s

I really didn’t mean that but it kind of looks stupid as hell if your 6 ft 5 inches tall and weigh 300 lbs and you are wearing a vest that is about the size of a childs book. And not even protecting anything other than a little bit makes no sense to me. For protection would you not want something that covers at least a bigger portion of your body?

It’s the perfect symbol for “wishful thinking”.

Bullst proof plating doesn’t really come in a wide variety of sizes

Proper stuff does.
When I was in the police my body armour was fitted, the plates went down to about an inch above my waist

Not sure why you got down voted for simply speaking your experience

As a tall guy myself, it may be that they have no options for anything bigger.
