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

@Latecomer  
Let’s see how military bases like your line of thinking.

@MagpulPony  
Arestting the people committing this apparent surge of crime you posit?

@lonewolf  
The military play by their own rules for the most part.

@MagpulPony  

 
But enough about Kyle Rittenhouse.

Posting it again because somebody didn’t like me calling out far right terrorism and murder and instead abused the report button.

Kyle Rittenhouse is a far right terrorist and murderer. He traveled with white right-wing armed militia invited by Kenosha police who are chummy with such lovely people and crossed state lines with illegal possession of firearms as a minor and surgical gloves to prevent powder marks. He had no business “protecting property” (as if property is somehow worth more than human lives). He fired the first shot and executed a unarmed defenseless person with a headshot and was caught on camera confessing he just killed someone, so miss me with your horseshit claims of self defense. The protestors react in real self defense by chasing and trying to disarm and detain an active spree shooter because that’s the logical thing to do, instead of doing nothing and assuming he’s leaving instead of repositioning for more shots. Even if they had beat him to death, it still would’ve been self-defense from a shooter. He shoots two more, seriously wounding an armed medic who had every right to shoot back but expressed remarkable restraint by not. The shooter approaches police armed and seemingly tries to surrender, they wave him off while people are screaming at them that he’s the killer. He flees out of state. Then he’s finally arrested and charged with first degree murder. No prosecutor casually does that so soon unless it’s pretty ironclad.
 
No namecalling violation this time, so you can’t do shit about it, and everyone can see who’s telling the truth and who’s not. Fuck the apologia and gaslighting. You will never get away with it. You will be called out. You will be chastised. You will be held accountable for your own actions.

I want some Conservatives to do this, find us an article about unarmed white guy being killed a white police officer?

@NitroFury  
Huh?

@MagpulPony  
So, can’t type because I can’t see letters on my phone.

@Latecomer  
We do.

@MagpulPony  
Well then, why on earth would the use of lethal force be nescessary?

@NitroFury  
Considering whites are killed at over double the rate of blacks by Police, that’s not hard. You can literally just Google unarmed white man shot by police.

@Latecomer  
Because arresting the person and putting them in jail for a week doesn’t fix the destroyed life of the victim.

@vit  

 
It’s worse than that, the police were actively thanking and offering the militia water.
 
Boy was allowed to straight up walk up to and around police APCs with a rifle in hand and the cops stop just short of high-fiving him.

Dear Everypony:
 

 
Please. PLEASE if you can’t be here without calling each other names or resorting to ad hominem attacks, take a break and do something fun for awhile.

@Dustcan  
It’s an open carry state and he was helping defend businesses which is legal.

@MagpulPony  
If the loss of property equates to a “destroyed life”, it is because our society is unnecessarily cruel to people who have suffered financial hardship. Perhaps we ought to start there.

@MagpulPony
 
He wasn’t local!

@MagpulPony  
No, the hefty insurance/compensation payment should take care of that.
 
And someone who’s been shot dead has a much more destroyed life than someone who lost their entire home and all it’s contents, let alone a subset.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, even Science is not safe from modern ideologies leaking into actural science!  
https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/08/12/science.aay4497  
Like this reads like a “fake article” designed by people to mock “far-left science”.  
Like I won’t be suprised if next month it will be revealed on some youtube channel, that this entire paper was made to show that Science will publish anything these days.  
Seriously, fuck 2020.

@Background Human  
Why not start at preventing the crime in the first place?
 
 
@Dustcan  
I said multiple times he shouldn’t have been there and it was stupid regarding that fact.
 
 
@Latecomer  
You keep missing the fact that it’s their fault if they get shot.

@MagpulPony  
Sure - if you don’t commit a worse wrong doing so. Life is worth more than stuff.
 
And what I’m saying is that if they get shot, I think it’s pretty fair to put some blame on the shooter.

@Latecomer  
Why is a criminals life worth more than everything a man worked for in life? What is that criminal contributing?

@MagpulPony  
Whether someone is a criminal or not, they are still a human being. I consider that to supersede the importance of lifeless objects. No loss of things can be more harmful than death.

@NitroFury  

 
I don’t understand, are you really in such a propaganda bubble that you don’t hear about those shootings?
 
 
@Latecomer  
Insurance can’t make up for permanent damage due to being beaten on the ground and kicked in the head by a mob until you have brain damage. And good luck getting compensation from the violent felons who were attacking him; if they had anything of value in their lives, they wouldn’t be mobbing people and smashing their things.

@Latecomer  
It can be when the person dying has only ever caused pain and suffering to others with no willingness to change.
