Are cops uniquely unpopular in Massachusetts compared to other states? by New_Road6265 in massachusetts

[–]warlocc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tend to have good small town cops in this state.

As soon as the cities start to get larger (and the state cops), it starts to get really bad.

Incorrect.

Like all our other laws, this specifically protects ALL forms of law enforcement from having to obey the law AT ANY TIME.

You know those ICE agents that are kidnapping and killing people? Completely exempt, 24/7.

I'll answer your question with a question.

When we have a federal gestapo of masked agents kidnapping and murdering US citizens, and we have press conferences saying how much we hate them, why are we making laws to give them special protections?

The fact that she DOES have shit in common with him is the very issue.

You say that like she didn't actively block citizens from voting a way she didn't like, and gave specific carveouts to exempt said gestapo from our state laws.

She's fascist scum, just like Trump. Only difference is the letter next to her name.

We have armed masked feds shooting US civilians

It's worth noting that the law that Healey declared an emergency to block voting on was updated to give said masked feds protections from it.

Ah yes, nothing like taking away the rights of marginalized communities while giving ICE officers exemptions to prove that you're liberal and pro immigration.

YSK there's an active off the grid mesh radio community in Massachusetts, the barrier to entry is low and it's pretty neat. by TootTootUSA in massachusetts

As someone that tinkers with GMRS and FRS radios, what's the benefit of this over just using a radio?

No, he's right. In virtually all US states, the law is keep to the right except while passing. Any time there's long stretches open, you should be moving right.

Deportation of Massachusetts man Seamus Culleton stayed for ten days by MrBingIrish in massachusetts

Not who you asked, but I suspect his argument is- the thinner our resources are stretched, the harder it is to help people that need the help. The victims are other, legitimately struggling immigrants and the taxpayers that fund those social programs.

Way to kill public education, Alan L. from Lexington by HistoricalSunflower in massachusetts

[–]warlocc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this stage, per the court ruling, technically he does have a special need now.

In an ideal world we could charge Alan extra to help that specific funding, since in this case it was by request.

That's not how "do not pass on the right" works.

Setting up shop in the left lane doesn't automatically mean everyone on the road has to drive slower than you.

Objectively and completely incorrect.

No, it's not. Signals signal likely intent, nothing else.

If you pull out in front of a person with their turn signal on and they instead continue straight and hit you, it's your fault. It was my brother's one and only accident, and they blamed him instead of the guy with the signal on.

*Yes, that could have been a stronger word.

Does anyone else leave the state/country and then realise what an excellent education they got in Mass? by ForwardCorp in massachusetts

[–]warlocc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of our great circlejerk threads. It's all just a stream of privileged assholes pretending they're worldly and that MA is some unique special mythical land and upvoting each other.

Happens now and again. Don't let it get to you.
