News usually repeats what the police says, that is what the police stated in court. I could cite at least 100 cases where police have lied in these types of situations. I haven’t seen any actual evidence of where he shot from so I’m not sure.
You can read the shooter’s statment here. He’s a hero.
You can read the shooter’s statement here. He was a former Marine instructor wearing high vis there to protect the protesters. The officer he shot was about to shoot a fleeing protester. He probably saved their life.
OH NO the poor Nazis had their tires slashed and windows broken, get outta here with that. ICE has openly murdered people and are abusing thousands. They’re lucky there aren’t lynch mobs chasing them.
I don’t know if they mentioned it in this article but the guy shot an officer after they pointed their gun at a protester. After the other murders by ICE it could definitely be argued it was defensive, and that they had weapons, which is a constitutional right (especially in Texas), to defend against potential far-right attackers.
You can’t claim these people aren’t protected by our laws while also claiming that they’re subject to those same laws.
They won’t claim it outloud but they already operate under this interpretation.
In the last months of Biden’s term he opened up several new ICE facilities, every president since 2001 has increased the funding and scope of ICE and DHS. The dems may be better in that when they are in charge they detain and deport people more subtly, but the corporate-aligned Dem leaders approve of what’s happening now and haven’t done anything meaningful to prevent it.
That is true, but as a permanent member of the UNSC the US vetoes any measure that would hold Israel accountable. But yeah it would still useful to have the discussion and illustrate their crimes and to have the record of it.
By that logic we could excuse any slur. I agree there are more pressing issues, it’s not a priority or a thing I spend a lot of time arguing about, but it’s a very simple task to use a different word that doesn’t hurt and marginalize disabled people. I think having respect for vulnerable people is still important with everything going on. Part of a fascist takeover is the language they use, words reflect people’s culture and using ableist slurs is reflective of fascist ideals like eugenics.
Yeah we should avoid those terms as well, many people do.
No, fuck fascist pieces of shit, we don’t need to use ableist slurs, what power does it have? It has no power against Trump or his followers, at most it will make them mad and hit their wife more. I’m sorry I already replied but this is just so irritating to see so much and makes no sense at all and only hurts vulnerable people.
No probably not, maybe bi, but I just mean like talking about him being gay for Putin or whatever, pictures of them kissing, that sort of thing.
The offense doesn’t come from who it’s directed towards, using it as a slur maintains the idea that it’s disgusting or malignant to be disabled. How would it sound if people called them the N word, or gay? They would be offended at that wouldn’t they?
I’m sure a young person with a learning disabiliy who gets called that by bullies would love if people used it more. I know it’s really great everytime people call Trump gay. Can you explain why it needs to be used?
But that is akin to saying it’s revolting, disgusting, crass for someone to be intellectually disabled. There are millions of words and we can even make up entirely new ones, why do we need to repurpose an ableist slur?
There were founded by terror groups attacking and displacing the Arab people, since the start they have been a terrorist state.
They’ve already proved it with soil samples elsewhere that Israel has attacked. Their crimes have been documented in every possible way and brought to the UN, for decades. Official UN bodies have condemned them. Israel and the US instead says you can’t trust the UN or Human Rights Watch or any other monitoring group.
Weird, maybe too many words? I searched on DDG “russia white phosphorus” and it was nothing but claims about Russian use of it
It’s good to point this out, I don’t drive but I forget they could probably track my bike still based on it’s distinctiveness, calling them license plate readers really does obscure the insidiousness well. We’ve heard about automatic license plate readers for years, they weren’t like this so it is really disingenuous to call them such.
If you asked 1000 randomly picked Americans “should the wealthy elite own your surplus labor value?” you’d find a lot more agreement with leftist views than you’d think. The ultra-right is a big chunk but it’s not the majority, the dedicated core is just well organized and most westerners are ignorant about what they are actually voting for so it appears more popular.
