What happened in Minnesota was NOT even justified - some person got killed in cold blood for no reason whatsoever, and that's terrible. Seriously!

Those numbers are ungodly close......sigh I honestly expected them to be higher tho....still don't feel better about it
That's way too fucking high.
So what are the 73% going to do about it?
What they should do is organize, rebuild community support for local issues and better representation, volunteer and create more connections so that the highest levels of federal government have less power and so that the minority doesn't have all the power simply by being armed, nationalististic and dumb, such as the grassroots campaigns that have helped openly progressive and socialist local leaders take power recently.
What they will likely do is keep working 6 days a week to afford basic necessities, and feel so overwhelmed and stressed by the world outside of their immediate needs for survival that they only get their political information from memes on facebook when they browse social media for 45 minutes on a Sunday night after putting the kids to bed, and as a result will vote in the next person who says "I'm good at politic, please elect me."
Create a Batman meme.
27% of USians think this is justified. Let that sink in. You don’t need to be able to read or write to watch the videos.
27% of USians are subhuman predators.
We need more community defense classes now more than ever. Seriously!
You don't always have to look at our past for comparisons, you had stuff like that in the past too.
First, the preface: I am in no way making any excuses for these subhuman shitstains. They deserve the same level of treatment they're gleefully handing out.
The question: is that blackshirt bottom right trying to get the muzzle away from Mr Pretti's head as it appears in the image? (Edit: I've not seen all the footage)
No. The murderer is standing behind him to the right and there is more distance between them than there seems from this still angle. The murderer had already started firing, seemingly having made up his mind moments before that he was going to execute Pretti. The other agents are simply jumping backward and stumbling over the sound of gunshots.
I know someone who can barely read and still knows this is wrong.
Similar to the percentage of dedicated Trump bootlickers on both counts
It’s the 27% Crazification Factor. I read this years ago and it never seems to fail.
25% also has an IQ lower than 90.
Yeah, but I know some pretty smart dumb people and some pretty dumb smart people. I don’t think it’s IQ thing, at least alone (don’t event really buy the whole IQ thing).
Sure IQ has been misused a lot but IQ can still be used to estimate the demographic distribution of a population on one axis. Since it’s sort of normally distributed. Like BMI it should not be applied to individuals. It just shows how many people of a population deviate from the mean. And yes it’s not IQ alone, but still telling that those numbers are close.
it's basically our wolfman constant, only with wildly dangerous results
Americans realising things about other Americans that the rest of the world already knew.
Man the pandemic already opened my eyes to this.
Yeah. This has been incredibly eye opening. I am disgusted by the actions of the people in power here.
These are the types of people I was raised to believe no longer exist after the second world war.
Growing up is depressing.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: you could poll a thousand random Americans and get about 25% in favor of eating light bulbs and severing diplomatic relations with the magical land of Oz.
It may or may not always be the same group of people across the same demographics, but about one in four Americans have got some real serious problems.
What do you mean by 'only'!?
I feel like 27% of America is irredeemable
Some may go as far as to call them deplorable
Nazis
Humanity*
That’s generally the percentage of humans who lack empathy and/or abstract reasoning skills.
I think a certain set of people just don't have the bandwidth to deal with the complexity of the modern world so just accept the simplest loudest solution. Its not neccesarily lack of empathy so much as a perception of protecting their tribe.

How literate do you have to be to understand murder is wrong? 🤔
Level 2, apparently.
This whole ordeal has been illuminating when it comes to seeing some people's morals and integrity. We have way too many evil bastards living among us.
That phrase has been forever tainted, no matter the gravity of the topic I can't not think of those fucking bean people

Correlation doesn't imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing 'look over there'.
It is nauseating that such a high number approve. I just can't accept that. Is this thing broken? Is it even on?
If those 28% could read they would be very upset right now.
So literacy is improving; Up to 73% from 72% 3 years ago!
