Left: It's murder (negative)
Right: It's murder (positive)
"Centrist": It's murder (positive, condescending)

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 29 points 2 weeks ago

Yep. Well said

"Centrists": It's not just death, it's murder. But that's actually a good thing.

And one had a gun and authority to use it with the assurance of the full power of the state backing them up and the other is dead.

If you are inclined to kill someone when you panic you should not:

  • have access to a gun
  • be in a profession that requires levelheadedness and clarity in stressful situations

Even that’s too generous. The pig signed up willingly for the ethnic cleansing brigades. Every breath he takes is a grievous loss to humanity.

How could the gestapo do this????

[–] sisatici@hexbear.net 54 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

high stress enviroment was litterally part of their usual job. this is like a surgeon claiming they failed surgery because they could not handle seeing open organs

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 32 points 2 weeks ago

High stress like the car was going to hit him in any scenario besides running up to the car

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

Air traffic controller who can't deal with stress would be a good bit.

We'll have both:

More ICE (Fascist)

Less ICE (arctic)

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 53 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is like gay panic defense except the killer is a supposedly trained professional. Like even if what this person is saying is objectively true, the murderer should be going to jail at a minimum

[–] BigWeed@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

The ‘tried to hit me with their car’ defense almost never holds up in court so he probably will go to jail for murder… in like 4 years from now, when we will have either much more ICE or much less.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 46 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why did the state give someone so prone to instigation and panic state power, a gun, and impunity? What proposals are you, as a centrist, proposing to make sure such a thing no longer happens?

If your answer isn't comprehensive then that sure sounds like an endorsement of "da right"

[–] moss_icon@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago

Many such cases.

Reality: If your reaction to being mildly inconvenienced is to escalate and put yourself and others in a situation where everyone is going to panic then you are a fucking threat to society and are a murderer.

[–] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 37 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hot take: if you're so easily startled that your first instinct when under pressure is to grab a gun and start blasting at a person then you should not be allowed to have a gun nor should you be allowed to work in a job where you carry a gun.

[CW: minor discussion of child abuse]

If a person's first reaction when under pressure or they panic is to hit the nearest child then they aren't gonna last a single week as a teacher. Why is it that "law" "enforcement" gets treated the complete opposite?

[–] Posadas@hexbear.net 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because capital needs brownshirts that have violence ingrained as their first instinctive response.

[–] CupcakeOfSpice@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

And if it isn't already ingrained, they'll make sure to drill it into them.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 35 points 2 weeks ago

That’s why one had to die.

Great, you’ve now taken a side.

[–] murderisbad@hexbear.net 33 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This take might work if this was the first event to happen in the entire universe.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Meanwhile it's another high profile murder about 1 mile away from where George Floyd died

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 33 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Hehehehe I guess you stupid commies didn't realise that this happened to a real fucking PERSON and not just some stupid fucking political ideology smuglord you see that's wrong with you radicals you make everything about politics, you fuckwaffles, even these tragedies! We have to remember the people first of all, can't you just fucking be kind? People! Please! Be! Kind! very-intelligent

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago

No its just murder. When ony one person has a gun and that same person has the ability to walk away, its always murder

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 26 points 2 weeks ago

And where do the other dozen or so members of the gestapo trying to abduct her at gun point for trying to create at least some deterrence to the actual domestic terrorism they were committing play into your little "both sides had an oopsie" fantasy?

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 24 points 2 weeks ago

How do all of the "everything is so complicated and nuanced" people even get out of bed in the morning?

:kelly: Buridan's assholes

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

What is the name for it where every society has a martial class who's job is to impose order on the populace and they largely allowed to do whatever violence they want to the population as part of the deal
