The "logic" goes like this: (sarcasm)

It's ok to burn down the planet for profit. It's ok to destroy the ecosystem on which we all depend for food, clean water. It's ok to make bombs and sell them to those dropping them on hospitals and children. It's ok to pollute the air with deadly particles no one can avoid.

But you just CANNOT... you just CANNOT be in a way of someone carrying a few tons of steel of a metal cage through a city. That's not something that we as a society will accept

Double standards

Edit: my mistake, it's not visible on the screenshot, but the "i hope you get shot" didn't get removed for promoting violence, there is no mod reply to it.

Lots of reddit communities are fascist communities

They're a more marketable demographic.

Should we tell them their family joined the protest?

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

My favorite retort to those advocating for running over protesters:

If it's OK for you to run over protesters blocking your path on the highway, it's also OK for me to set fire to your car if you park it in the bike lane.

[-] Filipdaflippa@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago

I wouldn't park in a bike lane because I'm not an idiot.

I also wouldn't block a live roadway for a protest as it is just inconveniencing others and would only alienate them from the cause I'm trying to advocate for, also because I'm not an idiot.

Splattering lives is okay,but shattering such windows is the promotion of violence? Honestly? 🔨

In capitalist US, property is more valuable than human life.

[-] udon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Ah, so that's why they try to reestablish slavery. Make people property again to protect them. Got it!

Another reason to stay out of the usa. Not just anecdotal, we're talking about a country where walking on a public street can be illegal, and people who do are sometimes called a slur.

Because cities aren't for people to live in, they're for cars to drive trough

[-] leisesprecher@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

In general, the US seems to be weirdly pro-violence.

Being beaten up is portrayed as perfectly normal in media and advocating for violence (like here) seems to be totally okay for many.

That's fucked up.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

do you think redneck is a slur too?

how about dork?

Walking on a street can be illegal? How? Can you expand a bit on that, please?

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 0 points 1 month ago

"Jay" is an old English slur. "Jaywalking" refers to walking on a public street illegally. For highways, it makes sense that you're not supposed to walk there. But in America this "jaywalking" can even apply to city streets.

If you're not in America, then it might just sound ridiculous. That's because it is

[-] criitz@reddthat.com 0 points 1 month ago

Has anyone actually been charged with jaywalking in the past 50 years tho? I've never heard of anyone giving a shit in any town or city I've been to in the US

Nice bullshit headline that implies the cops are just so racist (gotta be sure they mention the jaywalker's race, right?) that they saw a black guy jaywalking and just decided to gun him down for it. Meanwhile, from a better article:

At some point during the struggle, Reinhold grabbed hold of Israel’s gun in its holster. Duran shot Reinhold twice after he continued to resist arrest and kept his grip on the gun, prosecutors said.

The deputies gave voluntary statements to investigators that were corroborated by surveillance video, witnesses and forensic evidence, the letter said.

Gee, not so cut and dry after all, huh?
