Wait, you mean those Jan 6ers aren’t upstanding citizens? What a surprise…
Not like you have to be a criminal to get shot by the police in the US…
It doesn’t help though.
He would still be alive if he was still in jail
He was only sentenced to six months. He’d be dead anyway.
Oh that’s good
On the one hand, the usual American Police Brutality. On the other hand, one Trump-loving criminal less on the street.
A pardoned domestic terrorist with a gun and a problem with law enforcement? What could go wrong?
Here’s to hoping for another 1500 “justice by traffic stops.”
I’d rather they get educated/rehabbed.
Especially since the people with actual power and greater culpability have only gained from the constant stream of lies that led them to believe this was okay.
America does not rehabilitate prisoners. The U.S. prison system is entirely about retribution. So that was never going to happen.
Your autocorrect has seemingly substituted “retribution” in place of “profit”
A little of column A and a little of column B.
Why in the fuck are we suddenly cheering extrajudicial killing just because, for once, it wasn’t someone from our side?
… Oh, yeah okay, it wasn’t someone from our side. For once.
Because the judicial system has failed categorically. The only people getting beaten down by it are “on our side”, that kinda means extrajudicial means of justice are the only ones left.
Unrelated, but what do boots taste like? Are they as leathery as id imagine, or more earthy?
So you’re… wait, are you praising the cops here?
There’s a difference between praising cops and appreciating the irony of the guy who supported Trump, lover of police violence, dying in a police shoot-out.
Similarly, on a historical note, I’m not going to praise mass-murderer Stalin for killing Nazis to save his own ass, but I sure as hell am not going to condemn him for it.
Sure, and the irony in the original post is as obvious as it is in scubus’ comment. They seem to present this - an extrajudicial killing by the police, the enforcement arm of the judicial system - as an example of the extrajudicial justice we must rely on since the judicial system has categorically failed us. It just doesn’t make sense (and it has nothing to do with my initial comment)
What should we rely on instead to stop these extremely violent people who got a full pardon? Because as far as I can tell, the only way they will be stopped is if they go up against the fascist cops.
That’s not praising the cops, that’s saying there’s no one else. Because there is no one else.
Squiddy, are you seriously saying our only hope is the cops? I know you love arguing against things but if that’s what you sincerely believe you have lost your damn mind.
It’s called fighting fire with fire.
Again, what should we rely on instead? You didn’t answer.
