Texas Governor PARDONS Daniel Perry, Man Who Was ARRESTED For Defending Himself by Captain_Codpiece in news

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

He wasn't defending himself.

  1. Perry had made multiple posts and direct messages on social media expressing his desire to shoot Black Lives Matter protesters, writing in messages, "I might have to kill a few people on my way to work, they are rioting outside my apartment complex," and "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters."

  2. Perry had stated that someone could shoot protesters and get away with it by claiming self-defense.

  3. There was no evidence that Foster had pointed his weapon, and other eyewitnesses contradicted Perry's account that he had. AS did the fact that Foster's weapon was recovered with its safety on and no cartridge in the chamber, so it would not have made sense for him to point his weapon.

The jury were correct. And the sentencing was reasonable.

That's less obvious. If you believe in demons, they're probably motivating enough. Certainly they trans panic is pushing the deeply irrational line that sexuality or gender is contagious.

Communist Panic didn't propose that "they" would rape your children - just that "they" would brainwash them until they rejected you.

Did they?

Yeah. Your standard lynch mob does tend to use the "your children" hook in some way.

The defence claimed that Foster was pointing his gun (despite having the safety on and no round chambered). So I suspect that you can't just shoot someone because you found their walk threatening, or they would have presented a defence that wasn't contradicted by all the other eye witnesses.

Opinion varies on that. Perry said he did. All the other witnesses, and common sense say that he didn't.

The jury found to the standard of beyond reasonable doubt that he didn't.

Did End Wokeness cherry pick the graphics at all?

I notice that they survey found that immigration was considered the seventh most important issue after (in order) Health, war, purchasing power, the environment, security and taxes.

That seems to be under-emphasised by "end Wokeness" as does the fact that a lot of the people who thought their country had too many migrants, didn't think that was a problem. (Although a little over half did rate immigration as a perform).

To be honest, if you just read that tweet, you'd be mislead into thinking immigration is considered a much bigger issue than it is.

That's like saying that the Black Lives Matter protestors would all, most likely, have ties to George Floyd or the black community.

That they're more likely to have ties to the black community than people who don't support BLM.

With protests, especially on university campuses, it's just as often students wanting to skip classes, students wanting attention, students who have no idea what's actually happening and just like the most popular or unpopular causes.

I see you've never been to university.

They wouldn't be skipping lectures, or other contact hours. Stanford University isn't cheap.

And they don't call them "classes".

If you can't read or hear something without taking only the most literal interpretation, you're acting on bad faith or you're struggling through life.

I see you want to walk back part of your claims. What's a statement that truly describes your position now?

If you plucked 100 students from the universities all across the world, I would happily wager that 0% of them have been to Palestine.

These aren't plucked randomly. They're the ones hunger striking in support of the protesters who have been arrested.

They're the 13 most likely to have ties to palestine in the entire campus.

I haven't made up anything about them.

Yes you did. You don't know that they've never been to palestine, and you can't know that they're never going to go.

I've stated a simple, numerical fact: In any university, the odds that these kids have been to Palestine is so slim that I feel comfortable saying: "They haven't been to Palestine"

No. You said that they have been and are never going to go to palestine.

The pseudoscientific claims of satanic child abuse that destroyed the lives of some of the accused, and damaged the development of the children that were coerced into giving false testimony.

Covid and Vaccine denial also vilified rational people, and caused harm by allowing the disease to spread. But it is nowhere near as extensive. I've heard people advocate for the truly idiotic position that Fauci should be charged with various crimes, but this is fringe. Society in general is nowhere near far enough removed from reality that that could happen, and a court could find scientists guilty as people were during the satanic panic.

So while the hysteria is certainly present, without something like religion backing it, it's just some crackpots barking at shadows.

No, but these are pointless questions.

The point of the questions is question your assumption that they've never been to Palestine.

Does everyone visit Palestine before university?

No. We're talking about the 17 students who were on the hunger strike.

My point stands true for the majority.

How many of the 17 do you claim have never been to, and will never go to Palestine?

Did you have a greater point you wanted to make?

You're making up stuff you don't know about these students? Why?

The usual reason people make stuff up is because the argument they want to make is fallacious. That's probably the case here.

So why do you want to claim that they don't understand the cause? What is your understanding of the cause? Why do you find other understandings of it so objectionable you have to make up stuff about them?

Hell, I haven't seen any atheist bash Judaism yet.

Noah Lusions has done some pretty straightforward anti-Judaism rants, targeting more conservative interpretations. Watching one of those jewish fathers strike his very young son for asking his older sister about some religious writing he was trying to learn, because all that reading thing isn't for women was a formative event in his becoming a atheist activist.

The atheists on reddit are careful about it, but they don't avoid discussing it:

Christianity is bad

Certainly the current erosion of first amendment protections from them is bad, and it is Christians driving that.

but for some reason Islam is good.

Not many atheists would agree with that.

Although as with Christians, there are many individuals trying to do good in the world, and so long as they avoid the "well, I'll just pray instead of doing anything" and the "and while we're here, lets convert everyone to hating women and gays, and drop off some holy literature", some of them do.
