Fucking illogical bigotry combined with irresponsible gun culture and this is what your get.

You get the actual American Dream!

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago

Do what I want or I will shoot you. Although I may just shoot you anyway.

Conservatism is a plague of violence, oppression and death. It always has been.

History has shown that conservatism cannot be defeated by pacifism. Conservatives see pacifism as an invitation to attack. Always be prepared to respond to a conservative assault.

Teach your children why we don't do business with or keep relationships with conservatives. Together we can marginalize hate by marginalizing haters.

Yeah, we've reached that point where peaceful solutions are no longer viable, and that should terrify everyone.

You ever heard of the 10 stages of genocide?

A suspect - who fled the scene on foot - was killed by police when found nearby, allegedly still armed.

Police did their job.

[-] errer@lemmy.world 64 points 2 years ago

Lol, this is even more American — getting shot and killed by police

[-] _wintermute@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

It's literally not their job, but this time I don't care. Something something broken clock something.

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago

If you shoot every single suspect you encounter, it’s only a matter of time until you shoot someone who deserves it.

[-] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 4 points 2 years ago

Police did their job.

For once

Satan is using this guy’s entire body as a condom for some gay sex right now.

I'm actually surprised police killed him.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago

I'm sure the cops have him every opportunity and then some before killing him unlike other situations.

It’s about time conservatives are designated as a terrorist organization. What is holding this up?

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

The conservatives in office. Why would you designate your own as terrorists when you can designate non-conservative protesters as terrorists instead?

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

everyday I thank my parents for not living in America

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

I had a sign in my yard that said "protect trans kids"

After 4 months of it being in my yard, someone stole it and dumped trash in my yard.

I wanna get a new sign, but I'm afraid I'll get worse treatment than before.

[-] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 3 points 2 years ago

Install cameras, buy a drone, and the next time you catch one defacing your yard, follow them home with the drone. Now that you have their address, you can go in when they're sleeping and shit in their shoes.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Best idea lol

[-] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago

Oh, so the kill-billy was also killed? I love a happy ending!

[-] Grant_M@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 years ago

We are under attack by a global RW fascist insurgency.

[-] iHUNTcriminals@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

We are. But it's bigger than that even. It has to be.

...something honestly evil and heartless. Organized crime?

[-] Grant_M@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

All of the above. They need each other to survive.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Needs to be charged not only hate crime but as terrorism.
