MODERATORS
Complacency and indifference in the face of injustice begets further injustice. It’s hypocritical to then claim to seek justice.
I don’t want “justice”, I don’t want cops.
I want to protect lives and make the world a better place.
Oh and during war, armed resistance is morally fine.
yet, you seem tolerant of murder and vengeance. so, you would appear to only want to protect certain lives and make the world a better place for some. and who would be the one to decide who benefits from this "better world"? you?
Yes I accept people die during war. It happens.
not really sure where dying during war comes into play when discussing this murder of police officers...
i think you replied to the wrong comment
congratulations. that's the most self-important, self-aggrandizing rationalization for vengeance and murder i've heard in, at least, a few weeks.
bravo. frankly, i'm more surprised that you could type all of that out with both of your arms nailed to that cross.
i'm a "cop lover" because i point out that murder and vengeance aren't justice and that your views and words are hypocritical?
how's that anything but childish name-calling?
If you feel “personally attacked” when your cheering of murder and vengeance are criticized as hypocritical, then perhaps you should reexamine your position.
And don’t cry about “personal attacks” when hypocritically making them with childish name-calling.
And who gets to decide when we're at war about what
You want good people protected, how do you propose we do that without any group that is very cop like in their responsibilities?
