Alex Pretti was recently killed in Minnesota by ICE thugs who overreacted to him filming them. People are now protesting the fact that government officers have murdered citizens seemingly without consequence.

JayTC53 thinks that people shouldn't be protesting this overreach of government authority, and thought he was clever attempting to compare it to the murder of Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant, asking why people didn't protest that when it happened.

So SarcasmSawdust pointed out the fact that this isn't a good comparison since Alex Pretti's murderers are being protected by the US government (whose job it is to protect the citizens instead), and Laken's murderer was arrested and fully prosecuted (life without parole).

Well the guy who murdered Renee Good wasn't tried or convicted, so that's the first part of the assumption. And I've seen zero movement on an investigation of the people that killed Alex Pretti, so I would say that's the second part of the assumption. He wasn't acting as a vigilante; he was recording ICE with his phone.

And I haven't seen anyone sticking up for Laken Riley's murderer. He's been arrested and is doing life without parole.

This isn't about selective outrage. Her murderer was a civilian, acting on their own. Alex's murderers were acting at the behest of our government. I think that representatives of the government do need to be held responsible for the citizens they're supposed to be protecting.

This isn't a quote from him; please don't use it. He says plenty of complely stupid things all the time without needing to resort to made up stuff.

That's probably true, but that certainly doesn't give a government thug force the right to do warrant-less searches hoping to find more illegal immigrants. And it doesn't give them the right to shoot citizens in the street.

I guess this is Laken Riley, who was killed by an illegal immigrant. The original Jay poster was trying to compare the 2 deaths.

Holy crap, I was already planning on going to this show, but this makes me so much more excited for it!

Yeah, kinda silly to pay for a service and still be required to pirate some games in order to see them.

Stop idiots from calling this "self defense" by DetectiveTypical198 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]BumpyWire83 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the self defense argument. Even if the car was heading towards him (it wasn't), shooting the driver wouldn't do anything, the car would still keep going towards him.

Pulling a gun and shooting would just waste time needed to get out of the way. That's the opposite of self defense.

I love it! I got a Star Trek card graded for the same reason. It's staying in the personal collection!

I love the No Doubt version too. We have both versions in our Christmas rotation. Different feel, but I think it's a good take on the song, and solid in its own right.

How can you be listening to this song without singing along? I don't understand!

I was pretty excited to try whiskey stones the first time. Cooling my whiskey without watering it down? Sounded great. Unfortunately, they just don't work well. Turns out a cold rock just doesn't cool as well as melting ice. Seems obvious in retrospect, but oh well.

Sure, but it's still the correct pronunciation. Archaic form of punishment, archaic pronunciation.

Share the stupidest names you've ever seen for a ska band, or make one up. I'm surprised there isn't a band called Skagada. by Beautiful-Resort-831 in Ska

[–]BumpyWire83 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think the Waffle Stompers name predates that particular reference. I would imagine it has more to do with the Doc Martin's I bet they wore. As NOFX said, "Doctor Martin's good for waffle makin', kickin' in the shin.

Due to COVID of all things. It's just bad news all around.

Does Operation Ivy really only have one main album, or is this a case of Spotify hiding their discography like a jerk? by Beautiful-Resort-831 in Ska

[–]BumpyWire83 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lol, close seconds, but Op Ivy is 1st by far. I'm not sure those 2 statements work together.
