Chileans did this last week and made it cool. They got the tipoff about laser pointers from HK though.

I don't see how it ends without this making Tiananmen Square look like a speeding ticket fine, and neither do the people of HK. They're getting ready to die. It's going to be horrible.

If HK police killed everyone inside their siege you know the only reaction from the US government would be a Trump tweet saying we need to be able to do that in the US

It doesn’t. The university is already sieged, there’s no way in or out and everyone that attempts to cross that line either direction is arrested.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

This is horrifying, lots of good people are going to get maimed or killed. On the bright side if school has recently taught me anything its that universitys are stocked with enough material and brain power to be extremely dangerous targets to seize. Food and water will be the big decider on how long they can last.

It would have never gotten to this point in this country before the police murdered everybody in the area. The RW would celebrate it

BLM supersoldiers team up with BLM supersoldiers to seize all the cattle and then behead all the white ranchers on public lands, maniacally firing confiscated AR-15s in triumph out of the windows of stolen police cruisers.

I just hope they can take time out of their busy schedule to round up every rear end in a top hat who rides ATVs/UTVs through areas they've clearly and repeatedly been told not to, the guillotine is too good for them

They brought down a police drone with a bunch of laser pointers. Messed with the position sensors I guess, and it just dove for the ground.

Everyone really needs to watch the Netflix documentary called To Be Of Service. It's about service dogs and how much they help vets with PTSD and TBI. It's probably going to be very triggering (talk of suicide attempts and war atrocities) for some people here so fair warning. But I found it to be really interesting and I think it'd be really helpful for those of you with family members that don't quite understand PTSD. Warning: kind of decent, kind of cringeworthy original Bon Jovi song at the end.

They also brought up the term "moral injury" in the documentary. One guy said that "it's part of the reason why you feel so much self-loathing and contempt for yourself that it physically hurts." Another continues "when we're not tiven genuinely moral and just and utterly necessary missions and causes and use violence for any other purpose, we will feel shame and guilt from behaving immorally."

Another vet continued: "Moral injury is when there's a disconnect between what you believe and what you hold sacred, and what you are asked to do."

From Wikipedia: "Moral injury refers to an injury to an individual's moral conscience and values resulting from an act of perceived moral transgression, which produces profound emotional guilt and shame, and in some cases also a sense of betrayal, anger and profound "moral disorientation"."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_injury

It seems like now there's a phrase for the feeling the guys have about your service.
