We need more community defense classes now more than ever. Seriously!
You don't have to watch the videos.
You're going to watch a man getting killed. That's not good for your mental health. You can just take a pass here and not watch. Your watching the video is probably not going to help in any way, and it might hurt you. So, just think about your own needs before you traumatize yourself for no reason.
It's a fair warning. But it also shows that there was no restraint. They murdered him. There was no struggle. He was just letting a woman go free. There was no threat on ICE. We all see it.
But a fair warning for those who haven't seen something like that before.
Yes, and I got that information from you, without having to watch the video myself.
Interesting take on personal trauma. What's "good", "bad", or even "neutral" for mental health is very individualistic. A warning is warranted, but I'd be wary of telling people it's "not good" to watch it. Maybe not for you, but you are you're own person
Plenty of adults here who can make that call themselves (proper warning is always welcomed/needed)
Personally, I don't choose the route of burying my head in the sand so I can savor blissful ignorance. I watch people die regularly IRL and am comfortable with the notion... but what's wrong is wrong and sometimes people need to understand the reality. If they ain't up to it, than a proper NSFL warning is good enough to warn them
People ain't all children, and I respect what you're trying to say... but if I got executed like that man; I'd want everyone (who was able) to see it for themselves. Especially in an age where false narratives and soft details are the norm
I prefer to see the horror with my own eyes and make my own judgements. I've accidentally seen far too much as is, and it only gave me strength after healing
A warning's good enough, no need to patronize
Can Tetris help?
Allegedly. Just play it in your head
Everyone should watch the video. Ignorance is not, in fact, bliss. That man was murdered by our government because he dared to protect his fellow citizens. No one can appreciate how egregious that killing was until they see it in living color.
Hiding from the truth because the truth is hard, is no way to live. We should all know what it happening. It will effect us all sooner than we think.
It's not ignorance to spare yourself the trauma of watching someone die. You can know what happened without having to watch it yourself.
"I don't want, and shouldn't have, to do/see something difficult, because of the negative implications it may have on me personally." I think that logic is bunk.
It is cover for avoiding the hard realities of life and the world around us. It is cover be being a coward. We should confront the difficult moments, not hide from them because they will make us feel complicated emotions that we will need to process. That attitude is exactly how we ended up here a country and it should be called out for what it is - fear and weakness. Now is not a time for either, unless we want this situation to get worse.
You don't need to personally witness all the brutalities of life to stay informed. Do you watch all the Internet's child porn just to be aware it's out there, and to suffer the consequences of that? Or is it only violence porn that you think is essential viewing?
No, we NEED to be traumatized by this. We need to feel the visceral outrage that it takes to absolutely demand justice, OR ELSE! and mean it.
Did you personally watch the video before coming to that assessment?
Watch the video.
It's tough, because it's literally a video of a murder.
But we all have to watch it.
3-4 Icicles at holding a man down and beating him, one of them lets off a single shot that instantly makes their victim go limp. Then 2-3 other icicles all draw and fire multiple shots into the body while the rest scatter.
Shit isn't getting better and complying doesn't work.
These are the "Life is so precious" people. Fucking losers, hypocrites and Nazis. I am up for the firing squad when this ends. We can't allow such evil to continue. Anyone else with me?
I was for long prison sentences, but those that issued these orders, and those that enthusiastically carried them out, should be executed. These are your fellow citizens, there should NEVER be a situation that you are firing on your own citizens for any reason.
The problem with prison sentences is that the next republican just pardons them and we're right back here.
Yeah, we'll have to revisit the whole presidential pardon thing, and prohibit its use to aid cover ups of presidential criminal activity, and make it retroactive. All the Jan 6 Traitors better show up to serve out their sentences, or it's an additional 10 years, without any parole or good behavior time.
Or we can simply charge them all again for crimes we didn't charge them with before. They've got a deep bench of past criminal activity. And all the J6 Traitors can just be charged with Sedition, and get all new sentences, significantly longer than their first sentences.
I could definitely enjoy seeing them get charged and imprisoned multiple times.
they executed this man. they beat him to the ground, pistol whipped him, and then shot him WHILE HE WAS PRONE AND LAYING DOWN.
Americans, for fucks sake, on the other site I'd be perma banned for suggesting what you know I'm going to suggest but you guys REALLY need to utilize that 2nd amendment you hold so dear. They are literally NOW executing you and to those that STILL believe "it won't happen to me or my family" you're wrong, it will and it currently is.
The only GOOD Nazi is a DEAD one.
We all may feel some impulse to act, even violently, but have a great feeling of uncertainty because there are no leaders. We need direction based off of game theory, or something. We need strategies that are surgical, because be real — we are outgunned. Yes, there are gun owners on the left, but come on, you know who has the lion’s share. Not only that, but we are different in that we hesitate to harm, because it’s the last thing we want. My dad kills animals for pleasure, but I do not. Also, if you aren’t armed now, you better do so immediately, because the gun nuts are not going to blink an eye when we are inevitably denied access.
We need real strategy. Daggers in a select few hearts may be enough to shift things.
Are there organizations or groups that do this? They would have to do it in secret, so how could we know? So it seems we’d have to assume we couldn’t know and form our own? Honestly, please clue me in!
I mean that's what they hoping you would do. I suspect they do this violence because they want to spark civil war and declare martial law.
But if possible, best is to wait until like November as the gonna lose senate and Congress.
But then again . Dems are corrupt assholes and won't do much
How many people are they going to murder in the streets between now and November?
Yeah but. I think they control too many states now for civil war to succeed. This is imo deliberate provocation to start martial law
A mix of guerilla tactics and economic warfare (primarily strikes) and sabotage and etc ought to get it done!
Killing ICE Officers now SEEMS like a moral good. They'll kill you first. Well, they'll disarm you first, then summarily execute you.
Acting in defense of others is a legitimate defense. When ICE comes to town, people are going to unlawfully die at their hands. Stopping them before they can murder more innocent, unarmed citizens is the civic thing to do.
From what I understand, the man was recording. Approached by ICE, pushed by ICE, then assaulted by 6+ ICE agents, then murdered.
Next headline: Paid insane far left violent radical terrorist, viciously attacks lone ICE agent trying to deescalate situation. ICE agent barely survive with near fatal wounds.
