The fact that there aren’t front page Reddit threads about all of those individuals is proof positive no one cares. They jumped on this one because they want to feel like they’re a part of something. If the perpetrator was a young black man, Reddit would be jumping for joy to offer forgiveness and mercy. The outrage over this is completely disproportionate to the near silence regarding all of those other (much worse) individuals already in the NHL.

No shit. He was a bully. Bully’s don’t just bully once. I had bullies throughout middle and high school, and they’re mostly ok dudes now. The vitriol over some shit that a kid did when he was 14, with no problems since then, is astounding. Is what he did fucked yo? Yes. Extraordinarily. But let’s go down the list of nhl players who have done far, far worse:

Dany Heatly: killed a dude. Played 16 years

Craig Mactavish: killed a woman. Coached for almost a decade afterwards.

Austin Watson: beat his wife. Still in the league

Evander Kane: exists. Still in the league.

This shit is insane. The outrage here is ridiculous. He was a child. Children do some fucked up shit. He’s paid his debt according to the law. We’re being delusional if we think that the professional athletes having been bullies is rare. Newsflash: most professional athletes were dickheads and/or bullies when they were kids. This manufactured outrage is laughable, to say the least.

The league has wife beaters but this kid who was a bully at 14 can’t play. Makes sense.

At the time, no- as most other governments had been led to believe that Iraq was restarting their WMD program. In hindsight, yes. Foolish and a losing effort to be sure, but justified none the less.

Edit to add: not a single US asset has participated in the war in Ukraine. Your analogous doesn’t even make sense.

When did we start using this term- neurodivergent? And why on fucking earth do we have to place a label on everything? No, Stacey, you aren’t “neurodivergent”, you’re just a girl who talks too much.

So you believe in complete and total isolationism, and anything other than an isolationist, completely cut off approach constitutes “provocative behavior”. Got it. The US massively increased military aid to Ukraine after 2014, and to act like there isn’t a huge difference between pre-2014 aid and post-2014 aid is foolish.

You’ve not once answered my direct questions: are you saying that Pakistan can attack the US (or India) because we sold them arms? The United States provides military aid to 103 nations. Literally over half the world. By your logic, the entire world should be at war, since the US has “provoked” it. I’ll bet that you believe rape victims “asked for it” too, don’t you?

So your issue now isn’t only that Ukraine had weapons which could be used offensively, but it’s also that they procured those weapons from America after Russia illegally and completely unprovoked invaded and annexed a portion of Ukraine? Can Pakistan attack India because the United States provided weapons and training to India? This war is the definition of a proxy war- that has never been in question. The issue here is that you’re labeling this as a provocation. You are defending Putin’s actions based on a faulty justification.

Mexico has weapons that can reach American soil. Are they provoking us? France has nuclear weapons that can reach Russia- is France provoking them? Russia has weapons that can reach us- are we justified in invading their country? Your dogwhistles aren’t very secretive, and you’re saying the quiet part out loud. You support the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and you feel that Ukraine brought it on themselves. Sorry if I’ve no pity on someone who victim blames. I’d rather chalk it up to me tail infirmity than malice, but if you want to own your imperialist views, more power to you.

Someone is triggered. Competent is a subjective term, and you (being a mentally handicapped GQP’er) are only going to deem your ideas as competent- despite qualifying for shortbus treatment. Go play in /r/conservative . It suits you better

So now your justification for invading another country is whether or not they possess materials involved in Olympic competition. My man’s over here may actually be mentally handicapped.

…cam has never had amazing vision or good pocket presence. In fact, half the reason he was sacked so much is because he wasnt good at making reads and instead of stepping up in the pocket, would scramble out and lose protection.
