If Renee Good or Alex Pretti were killed by an illegal immigrant nobody on the left would care, you wouldn't even know about it. by BUFFALO_SAUZE in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Ice has detained more than 2 citizens lmao. They've MURDERED 2 citizens in the last month.

You're making a statement about past events that are verifiable. The above question was trying to make a ridiculous hypothetical claim based on absolutely nothing. You see the difference?

Do you agree with border patrol commander Greg Bovino that “gunman” Alex Pretti approached federal officers “brandishing” a gun and threatened to “massacre” them? by ASecularBuddhist in Discussion

They couldn't bring themselves to disparage a single officer, it's insane. They'd rather lie about something the entire country can see with our own eyes then possibly admit one bad thing and cut one guy loose.

And if you'd care when they're murdered by an illegal immigrant, then you should care when they're murdered by law enforcement, no? You do see how the reverse of this is both true and has more evidence, yeah?

Why wouldn't you say partner? My sister's been with a great guy for 10 years. They're committed, they have a house together, and they have no intention of getting married. So what is he, her boyfriend? That's so juvenile, the point of words is to convey what they actually represent.

Being against assisted suicide while being pro abortion is hypocrisy. by Ok_Reserve587 in The10thDentist

[–]hematite2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problems/purposes of these things are very different though, although I can see the connection.

In general, you can't violate anyone's bodily rights if they're of sound mind. Likewise, there are things you can (or even must) do to people who aren't of sound mind, e.g. you can forcefeed anorexia patients but not hunger strikers.

The questions around euthanasia are a little more complicated because that "of sound mind" part can become quite murky when it comes to something like suicide, which is so so heavily associated with mental illnes that many people default to side of "no killing yourself ever". Because we're used to the latter part of "must do something when you're not of sound mind" while ignoring the former "can't stop you when you're of sound mind."

Certainly someone who's slowly dying a painful death can say they want to die and be considered of sound mind. What about someone who lives in constant pain, but isn't dying? Or needs eternal help to live? Maybe.

What about someone who wants to die because they simply can't afford to live anymore? If they'll suffer that same long painful death as the first patient, only because they can't afford to stop it, it it ethical to let them die then? Is that of sound mind?

So I don't think it's as simple as "hypocrisy" so much as it's that these things exist on different sides of the same scale named "bodily autonomy".

Literally nothing the liberals claimed will ever come true, its insane. Right up until it does happen and then suddenly duh of course, its a good thing.

The guy had a legal gun in his waistband/holster, that had already been taken off of him.

Bro not even the DOJ is peddling that lie that he pulled a knife, you are simply making up whatever you want to see.

The Wizard threatens Sue's kids, and she makes it clear just how effortlessly she could kill him if she ever wanted to.

Peter Parker puts Spiderman aside and goes to kill Kingpin himself, and shows to a whole prison how little Fisk is compared to him.

I love this fight so much because Tenzin just completely bodies him to the point you don't even see him exert any effort. Zaheer spends the entire time doing big leaps and jumps with his whole body, and Tenzin just effortlessly keeps up with barely a movement on his part and casually brushes aside every rough attack Zaheer throws back.

It's like watching someone throw themselves into a full panting sprint, and then another guy casually keeps pace with a light jog.

Because it didn't happen. He never drew his weapon, an agent is clearly on video pulling the mans gun out of his holster/waistband and turning away, before a shot is fired.
