A curious phenomenon I have noticed is when a disaster happens, they are usually awful on their own, but on the internet it's like a race to make them sound worse than they are. Like that tweet upthread with something on fire. It's taken from a distance and traffic and stuff is blocking any view of it. It looks like a large fire, and I'm sure it sucks for whoever owns whatever is on fire, but what's the point of posting that? Later, someone will be talking about this earthquake having seen something like that tweet and they will exaggerate a little bit and say "I saw there were huge fires after the earthquake!" I'm not really sure what my point is but I just cringe a little whenever I see things like that and I wish things could just be shown accurately and with pertinent information, but I guess this is how the internet is.

Per the ESPN article: quote:Chiefs owner Clark Hunt also addressed the player's character at that time. I guess Trump's "letting everyone just openly not have to pretend to give a poo poo" has ironically spread to the NFL.

While I kind of agree, I think this is still a very bad idea. I would probably think it’d be funny if Loomer got clocked for saying stupid racist things in real time. But most people would be put off by women getting hit in public. And it would inevitably make people more sympathetic to Nazi scum, which is a step backwards.

If there is more to the story then so be it, not going to defend an attempted rapist. However white woman accusing black man is probably worthy of a little scrutiny over face value based on historical precedent.

Lightning Knight posted:There is an entire legal concept built around this in the United States called “fighting words.” well actually, that exists but it just lets you ban the speech rather than decriminalizes hitting someone who says a fighting word so you could arguably ban calling someone the n-word, but that doesn't mean that if you get called the n-word and reflexively punch the person that you have a defense to assault charges

Guys, fighting words is about government restrictions on speech, not an affirmative right to throw a punch. e: whups, too slow, so I'll add a link to a popehat podcast about it https://legaltalknetwork.com/podcasts/make-no-law/2018/01/fighting-words/ eviltastic fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Nov 30, 2018 |

Order of events: -She says she's not going to have sex with man -Hunt tells her to leave the room -She calls him the n-word -This starts a fight with another woman, presumably black. -She assaults that woman -Fight escalates outside hotel room to what's on the video. None of these things are mutually exclusive, and all of them are bad. You do not need to rank racism vs. being a creep vs. being violent in general.

There's no sense in wishing Laura Loomer gets smacked, because she does that to herself at every opportunity. Hard, too.

In general tho it seems agreed that when you talk about "we should punch Nazis," that's an ethical statement, not a legal one. Few people argue it would be legally speaking a good idea to decriminalize punching Nazis, but rather that we should do it as a form of civil disobedience.

She went downstairs, started poo poo with the guy, and murdered him, then made up her plainly stupid and ridiculous story thinking a jury of bootlickers + her department would protect her. Sad thing is 50/50 chance on that one, glad it came out right.

I feel like when it comes to violence against racists/nazis/etc: the "one good punch' seems more satisfying then an outright beatdown, kind of like slapping someone who says something lovely/stupid, but with an appropriate higher amount of force. After all, you want them to live with the shame.

Tibalt posted:Fun fact! A major case for this involved a pacifist preacher getting the poo poo kicked out of him by a mob and a judge finding a post-factual justification for extra legal violence. That's Chaplinsky - which, like seemingly every classic offensive speech case in conlaw involves a Jehovah's Witness - those guys had a unique talent of pissing just about everyone off in every possible way which really helped us figure out what speech states are allowed to ban (very, very little)

https://twitter.com/juliadavisnews/status/1068530609642004480?s=21 To get back to politics, it’s hilarious that even though Trump licks Putin’s boots constantly Putin still keeps making GBS threads all over him. I’ve been trying to think of another president where the diaper balloon would have happened, and I can’t think of any with so little respect that it’d become a thing. Even Bush with his “Bushisms” (and generally lovely genocidal foreign policies) didn’t get this much hate internationally. I literally cannot imagine any President we’ve ever had be so widely disrespected and thought of like a literal baby.
