We literally saw it happen. Why does the media pretend that this is a reasonable answer?
Because a handful of billionaires own the media companies that own all the other media companies.
Because they're a bunch of cowards that can't be bothered with the lawsuits they'd have to fight for telling the truth, not to mention the preservation of their precious access to Jabba and his palace.
Bunch of fucking losers.
Because they can say/do whatever they want and we're just going to get distracted by the next disney movie or video game.
Pics and video receipts, bitch
peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.
Kyle Rittenhouse? At least by their own logic.

From 5 years ago. These guys are protesting with their guns out.
Most of January 6th traitors too.
I would rephrase that to many, far more just wielding flags, beating officers with doors etc..., but yes there were a lot of armed protestors on january 6th... and the only person that got shot was one who breached so far past where she was supposed to go that there was no rational way to prevent congress and pence etc... from getting attacked.
Also charlottesville, covid 19 armed protests (https://everytownresearch.org/report/covid-armed-protests/), etc... bottom line there's been a hell of a lot of right wing armed protests... and one thing they all have in common... people blatently brandishing guns didn't get shot by cops.

When are we going to learn that strongly worded letters and protests that turn us into a shooting gallery are not a winning strategy? How many good men and women need to get assassinated before we try something different, anything different?
Have you read any American history? This is a pattern.
I just don't understand why good people are so prone to think letting the bully repeatedly punch them in the face will work. Some people won't stop until they are stopped. Everyone knows this. There's a lot of forms that can take, but blowing fucking whistles clearly isn't it.
You're not wrong but you're also not volunteering to get yourself killed as well as likely hundreds if not thousands right off the bat.
Kent State was much smaller and you still ended up with iirc like 40 deaf or injured.
Open rebellion is a last resort because it's guaranteed to come with a body count.
I'm not as well versed on that event as I would like, but isn't that another example of a peaceful protest that turned into a shooting gallery?
Yes most of the turning points in American history have fairly high body counts.
Open rebellion is a terrible idea.
We have extensive data on how to fight the US. We just choose not to use the correct tactics.

The 3.5% rule.
Nonviolent resistance has a higher success rate when compared to violent resistance. But non violent resistance does not mean the resistance movement will be bloodless. Authoritarians will respond to both a violent and nonviolent movement with aggression.
Yeah, that "rule" is bullshit. It's cherry picked at best.
If the oligarchs start losing money Trump will be finished in a week.
That said, I dont think Americans have the commitment to sustain a boycott.

Surprised she refused to answer - it's not like she's reluctant to flat out lie most of the time.
Because she wants people to know that you can be shot while disarmed. That just being against them means they can kill you.
It'll be fun guillotining her.
I'll be honest, for these assholes I'd love for them to get life sentences without parole and isolated from the rest of humanity.
Nope, thanks to the power of the pardon only permanent punishments this next time around.
Could you imagine the horrors one would see in whatever hole these people get thrown into if they don't have the chemicals to upkeep their Mar-a-lago face? They are pretty fucking disgusting looking now...and that's with trying to not look bad. I can't even imagine.
She can’t answer because they did disarm, then murdered him in cold blood,with NINE fucking shots.
They then walked away like it was a Sunday brunch and left someone else to clean their mess.
America is now run by Nazi fucking scum.
Americans are being gaslit repeatedly by people who align with a child rapist than their American citizens.

She, like her boss, is incapable of speaking the truth. Pretty sure she would burst into flame if she did.
She knows they fucked up. She just can't admit they fucked up, without also having to take responsibility for what they did.
She doesn't need to answer. She's a traitor.
We have multiple videos from multiple angles proving he never touched his LEGAL firearm and then was disarmed before being executed.
Traitors don't get the benefit of the doubt. Arrest her and try her for treason, along with the executioners.
Did you see how they all backed up into an evenly spaced firing squad, and executed him? They TRAINED for that. They've been given order to get in front of a blocked car, and if it moves, kill the driver. That's why he walked all the way around the car that day, carefully documenting it.
They were also ordered that if anyone is spotted with a gun, kill him immediately, and we see how they've been trained to do that.
Both of those deaths were first-degree murder, and it's likely that SHE gave those orders, likely passed down from Stephen "PeeWee" Himmler Miller. She knows this isn't going the way they thought it would - that people would be intimidated and stop protesting, and the exact opposite has happened. Americans don't take well to literal DEATH SQUADS.
Now she knows that she's likely in the hot seat for a life sentence in prison, possibly even the death penalty, and she's not alone. There is a lot rising on them winning this Civil War, and they have the high ground, so we can expect them to get much worse, not better.
I'm waiting for the Black Panthers to show up open carrying assault weapons. That will be an interesting day.
She's afraid to continue lying. Odd.
Kristi Noem is a lying liar who lies and shoots dogs
I don't usually lower myself to ad hominems, but goddamn demon spawn shit-for-brains. She's more disturbing than possessed Regan MacNeil in The Exorcist.
Hope to see Krusty Gnome hanging around at the Hauge sooner rather than later
Puppy killing whore
Hey now, I've known plenty of whores who are fine and lovely people. At least they give something positive to the world. Noem, not so much.
Hey! Don't bring whores into this! They don't deserve to pickup strays cause of this puppy killer.
She's a plastic-faced cunt
Whore is much too polite of a word to be used in addressing this rotten hag.
