Asserting that the state has no legitimate interest in using limited violence (i.e. tear gas) to execute lawful search and arrest warrants against heavily-armed, recalcitrant pedophiles is truly one of the takes of all time.
The Bundy standoff, the SLA, and the Waco Siege are categorically different from the firebombing of Philly or the Tulsa Massacre to anyone with a brain.
i never said they have no interest. i said they are cheating due process when they use these tactics and basically “noob tubing” which kills innocent people at the same time.
you are ok with innocent people and children being murdered by the state because they were too scared to do it the right way? what a take. how’s that boot taste?
remember- waco is an example in a list of many. you just post-facto know there is a monster in there and think it was ok for Reno to act like she did? What about the philly move bombing? my initial example. or the Kent State murders? Or shit … the school shooting in TX where officer INACTION resulted in more death because they were fucking pussies.
stop. being. ok. with. state. sanctioned. murder. the examples are not different exept in the type of criminal they were going after. the same formula, state, and actions were taken which results in innocent and unnecessary death.
catch criminals and chomos the old fashioned way and put them and only them up against the wall.
also not for nothing but “limited violence” should never involve firebombing or tear gas damaging innocent people or even starting fires or escalation.
stop pretending the state knows what it is doing.
stop thinking being critical OF the state means I support the “other side” - grow up and start to think bigger.
