The National Guard will be used to remove ICE right? Right?
Yeah! Come on Governor, you’re not running for reelection, do the right thing and force them out!
Watched the video. This is a murder, plain and simple. Officer was never in any danger.
If something isn’t done they will justify future murders because of self defense. Just like what Jimbo and Ned form South Park do before they shoot the deer and they aren’t supposed to
“She’s coming right for us”
“We gotta thin out their numbers!”
Yeah, they just wanted to murder her. Trump and the GOP are likely to defend the murderer just like they defended all the others.
They of course did.
unfortunately i think she drove close enough to him that he will get off with self defence
sucks i know
“close enough”
Dude deliberately placed himself in that position to justify use of force.
E: he wanted to kill someone. IMO another one of those “frustrated” raging right wingnuts that always resorts immediately to threats and violence when someone doesn’t do what they want, especially if it’s libtards, women, trans, minorities (the “usual suspects”, I’m sure). Nobody whips out a gun and pulls the trigger that fast on an unarmed person unless they are fundamentally primed and willing.
I haven’t seen anyone mention that her attention was divided. Two agents were approaching, yelling at her, one grabs at the door handle while screaming “get the fuck out of the car”.
Meanwhile the murderer slowly made his way around the front of the vehicle, out of her line of sight. When she panicked and tried to flee, he saw his moment.
The panicked flight attempt after the other agent told her to get out of the vehicle is what will see the murderer walk free.
To me it looks like the murderer used careful timing to set the whole thing up, confident his leaders would back him up.
He already had his gun drawn and was about to shoot. He was just looking for a better angle. If the other guy didn’t kill her, he would have.
Even if it was clear as day, officer walked up to someone sitting on a bench and popped them in the head, they’d get off - who is going to prosecute, Pam Barbie? State can’t prosecute, technically. Tho they should anyway.
You mean he walked close enough to her car as she was trying to get away?
Why hasn’t the city arrested the shooter on suspicion of murder?
Because the federal government intentionally paid the murderer.
Because of shit like this
That case and Harlow v Fitzgerald both need to be overturned. The decisions are illegal as the law was written and passed, not illegally amended.
I can’t wait until the National Guard gets Federalized. That’s more ICE agents on the street.
I don’t even care anymore. No one is going to stand up to Trump. We lose. The billionaires and their dogs win.
^ Stochastic bait. Hold the line, people. Trump is extremely desperate and is on track to losing a huge chunk of power this year in midterms.
Register. Primary in the best Dems you can. Then Vote Dem in the General Elections. Ignore fools like this throwing peanuts from the peanut gallery.
We’ll talk on the other side of midterms.
The fuck do you mean hold the line? No one is holding the line. It’s being pushed back further and further every day and hardly anyone is doing anything, let alone “holding the line”.
Of course people are giving up, no one is doing anything.
The time to do something was November 5th, 2024 and the months preceding in GOTV. The current time is to reach out to every friend, acquaintance, co-worker, or maga person you know in your actual community and get offline. The next time to do something is voting for better Democratic candidates in the primaries. Throughout will be more No Kings protests which at every interval has helped chip away Trump’s support. The next time will be the midterms where the first real power can be taken back.
Don’t be stupid. Be smart. This incident, tragic though it is, is beneficial to the opposition the way CK was to them.
Do NOT give them a Reichstag fire excuse they’re trying so hard to bait out. Even the Minneapolis Mayor said this.
And if you criticize this shit, then I am ALL. Fucking. Ears on what your better alternative is, and why you’re going to lead it by example.
Trump is all ready floating canceling elections…
Then we’ll cross that bridge when it happens. Until then, we must assume they’re a go. Do not submit to apathy or defeatism.
Lots of trolls on here want exactly that.
We crossed that bridge back in November 2024. Democracy is already dead. You have hope and that’s great, but it’s like having hope that you’ll get a touchdown and win after the game is already over and fans went home.
No, bridge was not quite crossed; people were ignorant. That’s a different story than rigged.
Fantasizing, fetischizing, about Viva la Revolucion isn’t going to cut it either.
The latter is why I feel so hopeless, I guess. I feel like this site and reddit both are just loud angry people with their fists in the air. I appreciate the emotion, but nothing we do here or elsewhere seems to matter. I haven’t “given up”, because I’m still going to vote and hold my opinions, but I can’t do anything that will change these happenings. I still take care of my immediate community as best I can. I just have to go live my life off the internet and hope it all works out.
I appreciate the clarification and this helped me better understand your position. As one Strat player to another, I can relate. I have family to care for and all I do every day is think about the most viable ways I can contribute to the cause in improving my children’s future.
Trump is already a floating turd. The shit he says should make you more angry, not more apathetic.
lol you’re holding the line by waiting for Democrats to save you in the midterms? THIS is why we’re fucked.
By all means, tell me your better plan – and by the way – you first.
Lots of tough talk from those throwing peanuts form the peanut gallery, I tell you h’wat lol.
I always vote, down to the lowest of local elections. I’ve never missed any and will always remain active.
But I do disagree with you. If you know your broad human history, you should know that there’s nothing that indicates that we’re guaranteed a solution. You seem to not realize that there very well may not be a good solution at all. You have to be more realistic.
Keep voting of course. will too. But overall I think we’re probably fucked.
In my opinion this is a very different sentiment than what was expressed above, and I am largely in agreement with you.
There might not be a better plan, if that’s a a clearer way to say it.
(I don’t mean that sarcastically, no tone of voice on the internet).
I can’t start a revolution by myself, I’ll be arrested and you’ll be the first to condemn me and say “we need to peacefully resolve this by voting for Democrats in the next election!”
It’s not “tough talk”, I said nothing tough. But there is no willingness to do what it takes, it’s very obvious what it takes, just look at history and see how people defeat fascists, there’s only one way it ever works, and it’s never by voting to the complicit second in power political party.
The reason we’re fucked is because people express voting in the midterms as their hope, instead of signaling to each other that they’re willing to do what it takes. But that’s uncomfortable and cuts into your apple tv time or whatever you waste your evenings on.
As far as me, couldn’t help you if I wanted. I’m not in the US, I’m just watching the empire collapse. I’d prefer Americans do something positive with their country and turn it into a force for good, but collapsing is still a net positive for the world. I saw we are fucked because my country’s currency is stupidly still pegged to the USD, and when that crashes it’ll fuck with our economy too.
But hey, at least you shot back at me and lol’ed and dismissed me as throwing peanuts, you’re doing your part! Keep worshipping complicit genocidal Democrats and hoping they save you.
I’m not in the US
Ah, and ladies & gentlemen — there it is. The convenient cop-out. Good friend, for your country pegged to the USD, you are but a mere plane-ticket away! (cue next excuse)
But hey, keep throwing peanuts from the peanut gallery and pretend you know better; though best not to say “we” if you’re not going to be in the fight, yeah buddy? ;)
Go to sleep, wedge-driving tankies.
Other countries are gonna be trying their best to defend against a fascist US, and in the end, you are going to suffer as well. Due to your own government. You will not be absolved for not doing the hard thing, your very own government will make sure of that, if things are allowed to progress. And I want to press on that point: You will not be safe. And it will get worse. And it won’t be because of any other country.
Of course the rest of the world will be pissed at you too. Your country will be the aggressor against them. And they will not come to your rescue. Why would they, after all? They won’t be the aggressor. They will be defending themselves against you.
If you do not take action when the time comes, you will be left behind. Not intentionally, not by other countries at least.
You will be the average German in Nazi Germany. And how exactly, did other countries and history look on the average German in the end? And how did it go, for the average German? How many of them do you think thought “if only I had done something sooner”?
I don’t expect USA to stop the path it’s heading. I am preparing for the inevitable. I do not mind you blaming others. That is what I expect. You are going to face the consequences of your actions, and so am I also going to face the consequences of your actions. I will just be trying my best to survive a potential WW3, or, ideally, the consequences of a US civil war, and a Europe that stands alone.
You are telling me nothing I don’t already know; just with strong confidence from a position of not having to do anything yourself. Nobody likes Chamberlain armchair generals.
Do you have kids? What, specifically, would you do in my position? Please be very specific.
You’re saying I should book a flight to start a revolution in your country on your behalf because my country that’s been ravaged by American imperialism pegged its currency to the petrodollar?
Okay, deal, I’ll join. I’ll be your Che, but you have to be Fidel first.
I know it’s hard for you Americans to think of the rest of the world as even human, but we’re affected by your empire and we are in this shit together. But you’re on the front lines, and you need to fight instead of hiding behind complicit neo-liberals who use you as rhetoric to serve the same fascist capitalist class. We are fucked because of your inaction and apathy.
Read some non colonial history books.
By all means, please proceed with throwing peanuts from the peanut gallery from far away, and I’ll continue calling out one’s Chamberlain-like excuses.
Silly wedge-driving tankies.
To those viewing be aware of users like this who have an expressed intent to fan stochastic flames and also wedge-drive. Obvious Russian tactics (and no, need not originate from there but certainly possible).
Take your weak-ass bullshit attitude somewhere else.
Oh, because you have ideas as to what to do?
