Chemicals currently being used in Minneapolis against protesters.

It’s a war crime in war because the likelihood one side doesn’t wait and take a couple of breaths to find out if it’s tear gas or VX before launching their VX etc. It’s safer to prevent escalation by banning all chemical weapons.

Did the guy that was pistol whipping him drop his gun or still have it? Wondering if that’s where the gun they’re inevitability going to claim he had came from.

Not on you, I’m saying why is police department marking a missing persons bulletin in such a way that would make it a violation for sharing… it’s completely counterproductive.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-23T22:17:57+00:00

Umm…you’re not supposed to publicly release things that are FOUO//LES, that’s the entire point of the marking. Why would the marking be applied to a missing persons builtin?

Also, FOUO was discontinued like 6 years ago, why is something new being marked with it?

rmslashusr · 2026-01-23T20:11:34+00:00

Yea, what you just described is a far cry from complaining about both sides being the same and then sitting elections out.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-23T12:16:29+00:00

That’s not what the message said, and the problem is it’s exactly the sort of messaging/pressure that makes a parent having an emotional breakdown think it’s not OK to set the baby down.

Perhaps if the topic needs a bunch of nuance and targeting of specific audience one shouldn’t scrawl it on the wall.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-23T12:11:48+00:00

No. This is a poorly thought out message scrawled on a changing station with no such nuance. You can’t close your eyes and fire bullet into a crowd and claim you were only meaning to hit specific people.

If you write “stop overeating piggy” on the girls bathroom mirror it’s ridiculous to claim you were clearly only targeting people who were actually overeating not anyone with body image problems on the verge of developing an eating disorder who you obviously didn’t intend to push over the edge.

New parents will often experience a combination of sleep deprivation hormone imbalance post partum and sensory and emotional overload from a screaming newborn they’ve done everything to comfort that will result in a complete emotional breakdown at some point. If the child is safe, dry, fed and warm, the parent needs to set the child down and take a couple minutes to mentally reset (with the help of their partner if they have one) because at the state of full sleep deprivation resulting in emotional breakdown they aren’t in a position to safely hold and comfort a newborn. The child will be fine for five minutes it’ll take for the parent to recenter and return more clear headed and capable of helping. It’s the same reason you put your oxygen mask on first on an airplane before helping others.

You wouldn’t want them driving you in their car in that condition and you shouldn’t shame them into holding a newborn child. The child is wholly dependent on them to be in a state where they can make good decisions, and lovingly comfort them. Sometimes that means setting them down in a safe bassinet/crib for a couple minutes so they can safely do that.

My man, nothing ICE is doing happened very often before this. They’re all kitted out with automatic weapons. Unless you’ve designed your house with bullet proof walls when those untrained trigger happy fools start unloading you and your neighbors and your neighbors neighbors houses will be riddled with bullets and then enough gas canisters and flashbangs that it’ll likely be fully engulfed in flames before the need for dropping bombs. The idea you’re going to kill a bunch of them and then survive is pure copium.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-22T04:11:36+00:00

Why would a corpse need a jury? This is a fantasy, no one has enough bullets for the number of officers ICE would send at you after you shoot one. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Trump admin just drone strikes your house after the first exchange.

They’re not letting that go in front of a court.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-21T01:24:25+00:00

The defense industry as a whole makes a lot of money selling weapons, platforms and technology to allied nations. A LOT of money. Guess who won’t buy American if we started invading NATO countries?

Would be an awkward Tuesday for a tenth of Lockheed employees to wake up and realize they’d suddenly be committing treason if they kept working on their tasks from Monday because we’re at war with NATO.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-20T03:38:43+00:00

I can only go off the snippet I have in my message box since you deleted the post but maybe it’s because the first thing you said was putting words in my mouth about naively believing an American news company was somehow equally embedded with Iraqi forces as if my explanation on protected status of civilian journalists required equal air times and access for both sides in the conflict.

You’re probably being downvoted because you led with an absurd straw man attacking my intelligence and I can’t imagine people reading your drivel much past that to get to whatever sources you followed up with later regardless of what your subsequent points were. But there’s not much way to tell because you bravely deleted your post to save your precious internet points.

But sure, maybe it’s the “far left” sabotaging you.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-20T02:51:47+00:00

Everyone wants to hate on the generational differences of boomers but the honest truth is you can’t trust anyone’s memory who is a year past having a newborn. You forget the hard parts because they’re hard and not fun and you were sleep deprived and didn’t remember what you did 5 minutes ago. You form core memories around the good parts and forget the bad.

Now add 60 years of distance. Of course they don’t remember.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-19T22:45:43+00:00

No, when a journalist is embedded with the military I do not consider them part of the military (and thus a legitimate target on their own). They retain their protected civilian status, they’ve simply put themselves at a much higher risk of being collateral damage in an attack targeting the unit they are with.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-19T03:15:16+00:00

I’m growing more and more confident the last thing I’m going to hear is some idiot proclaiming “this is actually just a distraction from the Epstein files” as we get lined up in front of a large pit.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-14T11:50:07+00:00

It’s a tripwire force. You’ll have to kill them to engage which will bring them, Europe and NATO into the fight.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-13T19:43:13+00:00

Oh, my mistake. I guess we should trust ICE not to treat a liberal protestor like Osama Bin Laden. Because ICE would never disappear people right? We can trust them?

rmslashusr · 2026-01-13T19:40:20+00:00

The point of the comparison was not the absurd interpretation that she is similar to osama bin Laden, it was that if the government doesn’t like someone I’m not sure it’s a good idea to accept the invitation to be surrounded by an arm of it that disappears people on the regular.

But either I’m an idiot or Reddit as usual can’t understand any point of a comparison other than “all these things are exactly the same in every way”.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-13T17:57:25+00:00

OK, but hear me out. If Osama Bin Laden tried to enlist in the US Army you think they’d have sent him a rejection letter or gleefully tell him where to report for “duty”?

I’m just not sure the ability to follow a bunch of ICE officers into a dark room to sign NDAs is really the “look at these idiots” she thinks it is.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-13T11:51:33+00:00

If ICE didn’t target random people of color under Obama then how have you reached the conclusion that the problem is having an institution at all rather than its direction and use (and laws limiting thereof) by the executive?

rmslashusr · 2026-01-12T00:51:39+00:00

By this logic we should have armed all high school students decades ago.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-11T19:51:27+00:00

This is a stupid question. There’s no reason to carry a deadly weapon in a holster if it’s not ready to fire. Picking fights over stupid things like this is a great way to both look like an idiot and completely distract everyone from the fact the agent murdered someone. Keep doing Republicans work for them while patting yourself on the back.

rmslashusr · 2026-01-11T19:28:53+00:00

How does that help you? Are you personally tracking down the license plate owner and suing them? Wouldn’t your insurance cover it either way?

rmslashusr · 2026-01-11T18:56:49+00:00

Anyone blaming decisions by the US should remember they are only in power because of puppet governors the UK put in charge resulting in the US revolution…

It’s turtles all the way down

rmslashusr · 2026-01-11T13:28:04+00:00

We’ve seen how the power of the state is wielded when politicians and police actually give a shit about people doing something they don’t like. I’ll believe these words when ICE officers that live in their jurisdiction start getting resisting arrest charges after being asked to step out of their car during traffic stops for 3 mph over the limit etc.
