      Because she wants people to know that you can be shot while disarmed. That just being against them means they can kill you.

      Because they’re a bunch of cowards that can’t be bothered with the lawsuits they’d have to fight for telling the truth, not to mention the preservation of their precious access to Jabba and his palace.

      Bunch of fucking losers.

      Because they can say/do whatever they want and we’re just going to get distracted by the next disney movie or video game.

    peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.

    Kyle Rittenhouse? At least by their own logic.

      I’ll be honest, for these assholes I’d love for them to get life sentences without parole and isolated from the rest of humanity.

        Could you imagine the horrors one would see in whatever hole these people get thrown into if they don’t have the chemicals to upkeep their Mar-a-lago face? They are pretty fucking disgusting looking now…and that’s with trying to not look bad. I can’t even imagine.

    She can’t answer because they did disarm, then murdered him in cold blood,with NINE fucking shots.

    They then walked away like it was a Sunday brunch and left someone else to clean their mess.

    America is now run by Nazi fucking scum.

    Americans are being gaslit repeatedly by people who align with a child rapist than their American citizens.

    When are we going to learn that strongly worded letters and protests that turn us into a shooting gallery are not a winning strategy? How many good men and women need to get assassinated before we try something different, anything different?

      The 3.5% rule.

      Non violent resistance has a higher success rate when compared to violent resistance. But non violent resistance does not mean the resistance movement will be bloodless. Authoritarians will respond to both a violent and non violent movement with aggression.

      If the oligarchs start losing money Trump will be finished in a week.

      That said, I dont think Americans have the commitment to sustain a boycott.

        Many people, likely a majority, are not in a financial or practical position to participate in a boycott or general strike. That constraint is not accidental. Considerable effort goes into structuring economic life so that such actions are difficult to sustain, and additional effort goes into convincing people they are even more powerless than they actually are.

        Even within this comment thread, some seem to overlook the range of options that exist between blowing whistles on one extreme and violent confrontation with the red hats on the other.

        I just don’t understand why good people are so prone to think letting the bully repeatedly punch them in the face will work. Some people won’t stop until they are stopped. Everyone knows this. There’s a lot of forms that can take, but blowing fucking whistles clearly isn’t it.

          You’re not wrong but you’re also not volunteering to get yourself killed as well as likely hundreds if not thousands right off the bat.

          Kent State was much smaller and you still ended up with iirc like 40 deaf or injured.

          Open rebellion is a last resort because it’s guaranteed to come with a body count.

            Open rebellion is a terrible idea.

            We have extensive data on how to fight the US. We just choose not to use the correct tactics.

            The first, second, third, and fourth Marty positions are already taken. This trolling is no longer effective.

              Fine, next martyr, though you knew what I meant. In any case, magical thinking (you just have to want it hard enough) has never worked. If you have suggestions for what to actually do, bring it. Anything short of actions that’ll get you killed never seem to be good enough for the complainers.

    She, like her boss, is incapable of speaking the truth. Pretty sure she would burst into flame if she did.
