Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

It was mentioned but bares repeating:
He wasn’t the target of the investigation or warrant.
The murderers used a key to silently enter the home.
Once inside and all aiming directly at a lone (black) man sleeping alone on the couch, they flashed lights and began yelling.
The man reached for his legal self defense weapon, as anyone would when suddenly woken up by unintelligible screaming and bright lights.
In less than 10 seconds, Amir went from sleeping peacefully to brutally brutally executed by a gang of bloodthirsty thugs in uniform.
If it weren’t because of citizen protests leading to the spread of police bodycams and public footage release we all know this would have just been another statistic, with a report making sure to paint the killers as heroes afraid for their lives forced to defend themselves against a hardened criminal waiting in ambush.
But go on, genetically and mechanically altered women built solely for killing aren’t sexy enough in their military powerarmor 😢

AND there you go ignoring the child slavery, and instead focusing on the fact that you don’t get horny from looking at a green piece of candy anymore.
You fell right into the Mars company’s trap, hook line and sinker.

Now we’re bringing Chris Chan into this?

You’d think slavery would be dead in this age, but no. And it’s technically the Americans that are perpetrating it. For profit, obviously. I swear, we’re living in a worse timeline than even the Ashlands Timeline.

More than that, this is a weaponizing of the conservative outrage machine. They deliberately kick that hornets nest, so that the liberals forget about the child slavery because they’re too busy laughing at the conservatives shitting themselves over something so stupid.

And we’d get the usual copy-paste reports about “police-involved shootings” and “suspect had a gun” and that’d be all we knew.
Incidentally and to no surprise, within hours Locke’s history was being scoured in order to find something he did before to make this execution okay now. Except so far it seems like this black man didn’t have a record, and didn’t have a history of drug use. So far it looks like he didn’t even have a cringe Twitter account!
Now we get to find out what happens when this week’s black-man-executed-by-the-police has a clean record! Does Fox News/Shapiro/Rogan/Whatever-Chans etc sweep it under the rug, or do they keep digging to find something?

Joe Rogan was big way before the Rittenhouse thing. He got big because he is good at it, long form podcasts with some just him shooting the shit with other fighters or comics, or if it is comedy related it’s less scripted partisan BS like you get elsewhere

COPPA and all derivatives has always gone over my head. So I can’t make an informed opinion.
My kneejerk stance is against internet regulation despite some being desperately needed. I simply don’t think dinosaurs who couldn’t open a PowerPoint to save their life should be writing what you can and can’t do online.

Chris Chan did nothing wrong More specifically, the only difference i see between Chandler and KiwiFarms Connor Moon is that Chris is actually going to pay for his crimes while the other side is still free to organize decentralized stalking operations to push people to kill themselves
@CaptainXtra
All i get from that is that the Internet is so out of control the only solution to rein it in the lawmakers haven othing to propose but the most extreme solutions. I have hard time feeling bad about it, at this point the Internet anarchy gangrene got so bad i cant blame governements considering partial amputation. But then again, we should have seen it coming:
When there is no barrier of entry, the inmates end up running the asylum.
