How did bundy dudes avoid conviction once again? Was it more arrogance on the prosecutor's part, like the wilderness refuge trial last year, are they bad at selecting juries, or what? I'm just trying to picture what would happen if I as a brown dude took a good prone firing position and pointed my 308 at some cops/federal employees.

Untagged posted:That's a "Pepper Ball", not a rubber bullet. Which can still gently caress you up if it hits the wrong spot. Don't get me wrong, there's a certain humor to the scene But this was a police officer taking a shot out of some sense of revenge (look at the line of them after, they were under no threat) and professionals should be better than that.

Better hope you live up to that name. And real talk, it's going to end with feds taking up harder lines with killing people, so goodbye de-escalation and negotiation.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:I assume the police had face masks if they were deploying tear gas. If that's the case, a lightly kicked can of tear gas poses pretty much zero threat to them. How is it an appropriate response to risk seriously injuring the dude over it? Aren't police supposed to deescalate situations? He kicked it towards the police then sat there watching. Get owned scrub hahhaa

It's kind of interesting that there's now groups on the left who figured out that getting strapped for protests is a good idea if you don't want to get messed with. Interesting in the "may you live in interesting times" way. Meanwhile, in Finland: So, the Moroccan dude who stabbed eight people and killed two victims, turns out that the Security Intelligence Service knew about him. They had a report from January which among other things, told them that the dude wanted to join ISIS, had been a drug dealer in Italy, probably was a drug dealer here too and was bragging about having killed a dude in Morocco. They did absolutely nothing about it. Which is a pattern emerging from all spree killings (and attempts) that have been taking place in the last few years. Dude who ran over a bunch of people? Had made threats against people before the fact, was bragging beforehand how he's not gonna break for pedestrians now more, all of this was reported to the police. Had a fairly extensive criminal record too. Spree killer who shot three women at random outside a bar? People had filed reports to the police about him being crazy and owning a bunch of guns. Guy who shot at cops from a rooftop with a rifle, severely injured one? Same thing.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:The best argument I heard in defense of antifa is that fascism exploits a flaw in liberalism, since fascists want to use free speech to gain enough power to destroy it before going full Terminator on everyone. So under a liberal framework, you're caught in a trap of allowing fascists and neo-Nazis to use free speech to destroy you, or you destroy their free speech to protect yours. The counter protests were bigger than their rallys. Their Facebook groups were trolled, their talking heads doxed (and photographed eating Lebanese food), and eventually the entire movement shattered before it could ever become a credible threat. Yes, nationalists still exist here, but we denied them the ability to organise. ASIO, Fed and state police did nothing to help; just hard working agitators. Now if only we could do something about the nationalist scum in government...

Casimir Radon posted:I'd love to lock the piece of poo poo up for the rest of his life but Donnie threw a wrench into the works. So an admission of wrongdoing is the best we're going to get. At least you get the satisfaction of knowing he's miserable now that he can't call himself America's Toughest Sheriff. Like Donnie he absolutely can't stand it when he's not the center of attention. We shouldn't have to settle for knowing he's unhappy. This egregious piece of poo poo belongs in prison for a very long time. I don't want the satisfaction of knowing he's a sad free man.
