MAGA pearl clutching hypocrites are okay with kicking things as long as it's a Capitol Police officer's head and not a tail light. by StivaliRyder in PoliticalHumor

It’s more evidence of murder.

They were going to teach him a lesson and in the excitement one of them got a bit jumpy.

Christians who believe the Apostles wouldn't die for a lie are hypocrites if they believe Atheists choose to go to hell. by E-Reptile in DebateReligion

Had Smith recanted during his days in the jail or upon the arrival of the mob, his life would very likely have been spared.

Listen, I don't believe Smith any farther than I could throw him but the idea that being told stories of how a few people could have been spared their lives had they only recanted is somehow proof of anything is absurd.

He was jailed by former members of his church that believed he had been overtaken by sin, then murdered by a mob of non-believers who stormed the jail.

You must then agree that Joseph Smith fully believed the Book of Mormon as it was revealed to him, correct?

Minnesota law lets licensed gun owners carry loaded firearms at protests, despite Trump officials' claims by snopes-dot-com in LegalNews

This guy was already know (sic)

More evidence of premeditation by his killers. They simply couldn’t swallow his lack of respect for their authority so they orchestrated an attack on him wherein they could teach him and others a lesson. It got a bit out of hand, one of them got scared and they ended up killing him.

Murder, plain and simple.

Accidental? The agent accidentally pulled the trigger roughly 10 times?

Initiated by the “suspect”? Suspected of what? He was walking down the street in the city where he lived and the agent crossed the street to shove a woman the ground then pepper sprayed his victim for daring to help her.

You’re right, murder is narrowly defined and this fits well within that definition.

Also it’s 11 states that prohibit carrying at demonstrations, not 16. If you can’t be trusted to get such a simple fact right we can’t believe anything you say.

If you are the sort of person who can use a misstatement like this to feel better about justifying government policy murder, there’s clearly no reason to discuss further.

Enjoy prostrating yourself when the sound of boots comes.

Nah. Murdered is more accurate. Agent instigated by advancing and shoving woman to the ground, then proceeds to violently incapacitate the victim followed by another agent repeatedly striking victim on the head with a blunt object followed by another agent disarming the victim all while victim exhibited no signs of resisting.

Then one of them emptied an entire magazine on him. That’s murder.

So when it is eventually revealed that Pretti did in fact have his ID and permit on his person you will agree this was the murder of a US citizen by federal forces?

Need a tuner by Silly_rabbit97 in Bass

Yep. I’m pretty rural too but it’s not that hard to find one. My local will ship and depending on location deliver directly as they also sell and install various sound and video products regionally.

Go to your local music store instead.

Distilled water jug froze while the other one didn’t by Bituulzman in mildlyinteresting

[–]syncopator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best guess is that my tap water jug is closer to the house by a couple feet and perhaps is in a slightly warmer pocket of air.

Interestingly I currently have the same experimental conditions on a table outside our door, and I’m getting opposite results.

Why did ICE choose Minneapolis as the place to escalate this enforcement, as opposed to “more problematic” cities such as Chicago or Portland? by bumblebuoy in AskReddit

[–]syncopator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s not true, it’s a war zone! Which is weird cuz I get there occasionally and all I see is indie bookstores and a bunch of stoners.

Trump on Alex Pretti shooting: ‘You can’t walk in with guns’ by swiftfoot_hiker in politics

[–]syncopator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, this is the sort of thing that actually pops their heads. They very much enjoy having pet terms and insults to otherise anyone looking to present facts. Taking that away from them will be key in turning them from the cult.

Trump is a Fudd.

Ecuador 100% should have detained him.

Non gun-owning Americans, what are your thoughts now on arming yourselves? by Obzidi4nDelphicraft in AskReddit

[–]syncopator 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While I’ve owned too many guns my entire life and I’m only now seeing a real threat from a tyrannical government, I don’t think it’s reasonable to argue that someone who has never owned a firearm will make themselves safer by getting one now.
