So you don't think an entire generation of young German men being hoodwinked by those in power into killing and dying is a loving travesty, as surely as it has been a travesty in our own country?

edit: this is not meant to defend reagan or nazis in any way, who was and are pieces of poo poo.

Oh trust me, I agree with you in general. I don't think the vast majority of the men and boys who went to front were anything like evil, but 'following orders' is hard to swallow as an excuse, much less a reason. That's from me, an observer living a 70 years later. I can't begin to think about how contemporary victims felt about it. Of course, not to let that be a derail, let's move to someone who had complete control and dementia over his situation:


Reagan's backpedal wasn't to say basically what you did, but to equate concentration camp victims with dead nazi soldiers, while in Germany, after loving his last visit badly, without any tact. As an internet thanks for answering my post, here's another sweet page I opened to:





"Having traveled to a Boston bar to show his solidarity with the working class, President Reagan dismays his handlers by urging the abolition of the corporate income tax."

Also that pic in the bottom right looks like mom and dad's first hotknives, for whatever that's worth

Anybody remember this video of the woman with Asperger's syndrome who gets comforted by her dog to stop her self harming?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWMniUAgu6I

Cops shot her dead when responding to a neighbour's call stating they were worried she was going to commit suicide.

Every single time I learn something new about Ronald Reagan, I end up hating him even more than I did before. That seems like it should be impossible, but the guy is like some kind of magic hate machine.


My mother and father worked for Cesar Chavez back in the day. gently caress Ronnie in his rear end. That picture still makes me angry.

As a side note, Cesar hated my dad. My father always wanted to get out in the fields with the public and get to work but Cesar wanted to be more calculating and careful. He didn't want to be aggressive.

Yeah, I'm crying myself. I cry easily, but holy poo poo. The report says she had a knife. It's possible if she was attempting suicide. That being said, the cops are so scared of the mentally ill that they have been documented killing tons of unarmed and non-dangerous ones in the past. The only word we can take on this is the cop who shot her.

Drop knives exist around scared cops. I really really don't want to blame cops for everything. So I'll wait until everything comes out. No matter what, he'll never be convicted.

trapped mouse posted:

The report says she [...] she [...] her.

He was shot dead, not she. He was a trans man and the media have been deadnaming and misgendering him left and right. Remember his name, Kayden Clarke. Here he was two months ago, after learning his insurance covered surgery.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3kjoSBKc3c

He lived in Arizona, and couldn't find any doctors willing to let him start HRT because he had high-functioning autism. His last video (posted 9 January) was a tirade against bigoted and ignorant medical professionals. Presumably he was suicidal because of the intense ignorance and stonewalling that he faced as a trans man, exacerbated by his mental health troubles. Don't perpetuate the lovely trans-erasure society loves, remember he was a man.

Cops hate knives.

They get trained to hate knives. Because a knife will gently caress your day up. There is an underlying systemic problem with officer training and one that's not easy to address because knives are really deadly.

That is completely and totally different from "This person is upset and holding a knife." The first requires situational awareness, and the latter requires knowing how to handle a situation beyond shoot first, shoot some more, shoot a couple more times just to be sure, call in swat to get in on the shooting, throw a flashbang, reload and shoot again, shoot the dog, then ask questions (after shooting a few more rounds).
