    ‘You would never find a nicer, kinder person,’ the father added about his son. ‘He’s a committed, conservative Christian, a tremendous father, a tremendous husband. I couldn’t be more proud of him.’

    “Nice” and “kind” seem mutually exclusive with “committed, conservative Christian”

      You have heard that it was said, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” But I say to you, if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to her and shoot her in the face three times.

            “Respect me! I put my life on the line for you every day!”

            Meanwhile, being a cop isn’t even in the Top 10 of the most dangerous jobs. Some lists don’t even put it in the top 20. I’ve had two jobs that are always in the Top 5, and I’ve never gone around demanding respect because I had a dangerous job. In fact, I never even thought about the dangers, and didn’t know they were considered so dangerous until years later, and saw a list of dangerous jobs. Even if I knew, I would have kept doing the job.

            But cops want to remind literally EVERYBODY, literally every moment of the day. Fucking cowards.

        I got my mother to understand the situation when I aggressively asked her what she’d do if a bunch of people started running at her car, screaming and pointing guns at her, telling her she has two seconds to decide, so decide RIGHT NOW!

        She said she’d try to stop for the police, but I kept pushing her hard, asked if she was sure she’d hit the brake, or if she might hit the gas, and lurch a bit, and she said that might happen, and I said “BANG! BANG! You just got shot in the face. Did you deserve it?”

        She gets it now.

      He’s not saying he’s good because he’s a good father and husband, he’s citing those as evidence for him being a good conservative Christian, which is the only thing that matters to them. If you identify as exactly that you can do anything and still be a good person.

      The rich have co-opted Christianity and the insane devotion its internal logic creates to build their perfect foot soldiers

    “He will not be charged with anything … {then some bullshit justification} … I couldn’t be more proud of him.”
    So his dad couldn’t be more proud of his son shooting an unarmed mother who had just dropped off her 6 year old daughter at school.
    I wonder if the scum bag murderer’s wife is also proud of him? I wonder if she has any morals and decency about her at all?

    He is a murderer.

    He murdered a woman in cold blood. Nothing else about his life matters. He murdered someone in front of their spouse. He murdered a child’s mother. We all watched it happen. Give him the chair with Noem and Trump alongside him.

            Yeah, I dislike when people moderate their beliefs and opinions around the most recent event that made them feel an emotion. If the person above advocates the death penalty for this guy, it implies they advocate for the death penalty in general, and that’s mega fucked. But almost as fucked is the notion that their opinion changed entirely based on their emotion in this moment. It means they have little or no foundation for their own ethics and ideology. It means they’re potentially reactionary, untrustworthy, or ideologically immature. It means that they cannot argue for or consistently demand a coherent vision for a better world. It’s a huge liability.

      None of it matters at all, it’s never been about race specifically, it’s about power and control and insecurity. These are the factors that turn people into murderers. Race is always just a convenient decoy they can point at.

      Race is connected just in that most of these fucksticks are deeply insecure about someone of another race being more exotic and attractive to their girlfriends, and that sexual insecurity just manifests as this bottomless well of hate and anger, because that’s the only kind of emotion they think they can have as men.

      But really, through all of history the people who persecute the people of different races or ethnicities have often also taken advantage of or been deeply attracted to those people as well, and it becomes this toxic well of shame and hate. Stephen Miller is jewish. Vance has to apologize for his wife being Hindu. The leader of the Proud Boys was hispanic. Don’t try to make any of it make sense, just understand that these are not thinking people, if they could think through their problems we wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with.

      There were an astounding number of immigrant citizens who came here “the right way” (which mostly involves marrying a citizen) and voted for Trump specifically because they see everyone else coming as “criminals”. They got in, and wanted to pull the ladder up from behind them.

      I wonder if they realize that ICE doesn’t care about their paperwork, they see some who is on the wrong side of the “Peter Griffin in a Fez” scale and just act. All of their papers, which they spent so long to get “the right way”, will be dismissed as forgeries and they will be expelled to some foreign country just like the “criminals” they thought they were punishing, because ICE doesn’t see the difference.

      Remember when Jesus told his disciples to murder people in front of their families if they try to walk away?

      Neither do I. I do remember him demanding that you provide anything that others need and turning the other cheek. Jonathan Ross is nothing more than a cold blooded sociopathic murderer and terrorist. If hell existed, he would burn there for eternity.

    This might anger some people but marrying the women of whom you concider to be your enemy is a thing. Of course it used to be rape. But in christian marriages they always say “submit to your husband”.

    I’m feeling spicy today so I’ll add that he probably used to be an incel that got rejected by white women so shooting this person was actually a hate crime.
