1 year agoYes! More of this. ESPECIALLY taking BMWs and Mercedes away from rich douchenozzles.
We need this in the US so badly.

It’s not that I don’t WANT you to follow me. It’s that I didn’t know that feature existed, until I bumped into it on someone else’s profile. So now you know.

Also fair.#ACAB …even if sometimes they do the right thing.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

I think that’s fair.I skimmed thru the linked article, and viewed the 2 photos of the decedent.
Given no further evidence, do I think it is most likely true that he pointed a gun at FBI agents who loudly and repeatedly identified themselves? Yes, I do.
Good enough to hold up in criminal court? No.
Good enough for me, an internet rando-crank to say “Tough shit.”? Yup.
I’ve been proven incorrect before. I’m OK with that.

I was @ Wendy’s abt 12y ago. Mostly empty. Dude 10’ away blustering to his daughter about those “Slow… Children At Play” signs/markers people put at the end of their driveway. “They’re illegal! They can’t put up signs the city didn’t put up. I’m gonna run ‘em over!”His back was to me, so his daughter could see me flip him off. She briefly smirked, but he didn’t see it. I did her a great service that day.
@sparseMatrix
Understood & agreed.I just don’t consider his death a tragedy in quite the same way I’m inferring you do. I feel bad for the FBI agents if they suffer any emotional discomfort for doing the right, necessary thing.
I don’t suggest we euthanize all GOPers. But if they volunteer like this ass did, then fine. Natural Selection do your thing.
@sparseMatrix
This dude in the news who was righteously, justifiably dropped by FBI agents spent a lifetime trying to convince his family, friends, et al, that his hatred & racism was correct. The GOP is made from the ground up by people who are this vile, or are totally OK with their associates being this vile.I shed not one goddamned tear. I have zero fucks to give.

“You’ve heard it said ‘The arc of the moral universe is long and bends toward justice.’ But it doesn’t bend towards justice by gravity, you have to bend it. And there’s a bunch of people trying to bend it back.”- - Jon Stewart
@sparseMatrix
Bingo. That guy is a perfect example of the one big favor that #McTurtle & #IQ45 have done this nation. They made many of these amoral shits bold enough to stand up & be recognized.Now we know who many of them are. Never trust them. Oppose them @ every opportunity. Tax their churches & their billionaire leaders.
There’s a great Jon Stewart quote that won’t fit here, because 500bytes, so it will be in my next reply…
@sparseMatrix
Other than that bit, I agree with you.Not that I’m a believer anymore, but the disinformation bit reminds me of the millstone mentioned in Mark 9:42
@sparseMatrix
Choosing whom to trust (& listen to) is a moral choice, much more so than a political or philosophical choice.Fam saying “he would never” are lying or naïve. He pointed a gun @ FBI agents. He would never?! Oh yes he fucking would, because he fucking did.
Rule # 1: Never point a weapon @ anything you don’t intend to destroy.
Repeated regularly by 2A folks.
He chose amoral violence, tragically. A greater tragedy will be if his fam&friends consider him a martyr.
@sparseMatrix
Yeah, we can’t legislate (nor prosecute) thoughts & opinions. Only actions.Well, the GOP surely had members of a fascist bent all along. But those elected to national office had not acted in a fascist way often. But once Obama was POTUS, McConnell couldn’t abide acting non-fascist anymore. And it all went nuts.
So yeah. We’re absolutely very divided, more than any time since the Civil War. Fascist *actions* of *elected* dudes is why.
OK, perhaps. But then there’s this…
See, we weren’t as divided back when there weren’t literal Fascists trying to anti-democratically hold onto power.
The true and deepening divide is absolutely necessary. And we need to crush them, like we crushed Hitler, and for the exact same reasons.
