This is good, Im stealing this to trigger smooth brains on twitter.

Pretty much...nailed it.

It's absolutely ridiculous this guy is still in jail. He pretty much did everything right. He made sure he was about to be attacked and returned fire only enough to deter his attackers. It's self-defense. One of the attackers is on camera demonstrating he was an antagonist there.

The prosecutor has to be a moron to think any jury will convict.

I can picture the one guy who tried to grab his gun before getting shot once. He probably thought he was stopping a mass shooting or a rogue gunman.

It wasn't his community, though. He came from another town.

He works there and was asked to help. Nice try though.

And so did most of the protesters so what's your point.

we need a better image host than imgur. if you try to direct link an image it makes the image tiny. they make you go to thier website with ads.

[–]NiceDickBro 8 insightful - 3 fun8 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

catbox.moe is basically what imgur used to be before all the bullshit. I just encourage most people to use that.

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (4 children)

Agreed!

Down the road I'd be willing to build a home server to openly share/host/serve/mirror etc. via IPFS etc. for SaidIt images and more. There's also WikiSpooks and InfoGalactic. I have several project I need to finish first.

While checking out JC, saw this post. Good thing image is saved here. Seems imgur scrubbed it, or else my IP (CenturyLink) is blocking it; page comes up blank.

My reply to #defundpolice is #DefundAcademia

LoL. This list suggests a possible new app., #DefundX, where user offers a value (string of char) in place of X and promotes it across various websites.

There might be an extra, automatic creation of #Support.notX and promotes it too.

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Sounds like a good idea. I think the inventor of this app should give their inspiration million$ of dollar$. But I'm more afraid of the abuses and misuses.

    He frequented the town, has worked there, and knows friends there. It doesnt have to be the same town on your home address to be ‘your’ community.

    [–]jelliknight 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (10 children)

    When people said "we'll police our own communities" they didn't mean "we'll start shooting our own people down in the street without justification".

    I can see how you'd be confused since that's the only sort of 'policing' you have at the moment, but that's not what the word is supposed to mean.

    [–]Ergu 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

    "without justification" is an exaggeration. He is arguably defending himself in all three cases. We'll see if new information comes to light that proves the existing justification false, but you jump to a hasty and probably dishonest conclusion here.

    [–]Trajan 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

    This is the sensible approach. I lean towards supporting him, but I'm still preferring to see what emerges before I category hold him up as a hero. Right now the evidence leans in his favour, and I'll admit my view is coloured by the supposed victims consisting of a violent child molester, a violent domestic abuser, and a violent political extremist with a conviction for a firearms offence who apparently later expressed regret at not using his illegal handgun to kill the kid.

    [–]bagano1 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

    He waited until he absolutely had no choice but to shoot at these guys. They were looking to kill him. Notice the media isn't writing any glorious memorials of these guys in the news. They know he will be acquitted. That lawyer took his case knowing it was easy money.

    [–]Trajan 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    Agreed. He handled those encounters like a pro. If he were panicking, as some have claimed, there’d have been bullets sprayed all over the place.

    [–]Klondike 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    Even if it's ruled self-defense and all charges dropped, I don't think we should consider him a hero. He's a stupid kid who was trying to play GI Joe and valued property over his own life and the lives of others. This flavor of gungho firearms ownership is not something we should be encouraging.

    [–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 4 insightful - 5 fun4 insightful - 4 fun5 insightful - 5 fun -  (0 children)

    Tell that to the cops - or better to their superiors who don't properly train them in deescalation tactics nation wide but instead buy them virtual tanks to wage a stupid drug/terrorist/covid war.

    Bring back the friendly neighbourhood police man.

    [–]Trajan 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Could be he was. I suppose we'll have to see what comes out of the investigation.

    [–]King_Brutus 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

    without justification

    So getting attacked isn't justification enough?

    [–]copenseethe 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    "without justification" Watch the videos. It is clear that he is defending himself from a violent mob.

    [–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

    I like it but the worst thing about this meme is that it divides. It's a good meme but because some people are tribalists they put their stupid defenses of the Left here to be shit on by the Right, and rightfully so. BOTH the Left and the Right need to know when to shut the fuck up and let the other team take your chess piece in order to not look like an idiot. In this case, the Left needs to eat the loss to come back on another issue stronger, instead of from the position of an idiot. Preferably BOTH of the tribalist teams should wake the flock up and quit with this manufactured divisive bullshit and only fight the ruling class as the rest is endless and trivial by comparison giving the corrupt corporatocracy more power.

    The right truly can’t meme, they don’t know the difference between policing as a verb and police dept as a noun. What a bunch of illiterate heehaws.

            Have you been raped after shooting people and holding an assault rifle while others unarmed try to get the gun out of your hand so you don’t shoot others that aren’t harming you? If not that’s a creepy ass fantasy and I suggest seeking mental health options immediately because this are not healthy thoughts at all FYI.
