@MarioNawfal The fact that you think that how riots start is hilarious. Riots start normally due to police posture and actions. They don't start bc one person or a few people decide to do spicy things.
@FordFischer Definitely not smart to be seen giving "instructions" without a mask. Medic or not that will get you labeled a protest leader... I would know that's how I got arrested in 2020.
@VitalistInt It's also like a general best practice not to be seen giving "orders" without a mask on. Cops don't care if you're a medic they will arrest you.
The communication breakdown is part of a strategy that the DHS uses against activists. Don't let them do it to you.
God forbid someone goes to a protest when they aren't from that state. God forbid someone shows solidarity with people in another state locked in a camp that's overpopulated and full of corruption and evil guards.

@TheAbeg@ABetterWay2A It's a different America. Everyone just wants our rights taken. Doesn't matter if you are left right up or down, the government will try to fuck you over unless you are rich.
@_ardent_ursus_@ABetterWay2A Lying to the police is a completely different charge and Wyoming doesn't have red flag laws for a reason, they are inheritly discriminatory. 1 and 3 Americans have depression. You want 1/3rd of the population to not own guns?
@TheAbeg@ABetterWay2A It's absurd that whatever court this was done in thinks stand your ground protects shooting someone who attacks you but not brandishing to de-escalate. I hope the Wyoming supreme court overturns the conviction. If it's not discrimination it's 100% misapplication of the law.
@1ClassyBastard@ABetterWay2A So you don't believe in gun rights I see. My enemies have a right to bears arms as much as my friends unless they use arms to kill in cold blood.
Being trans isn't a mental illness, but I'm sure whatever type of mental illness you have prevents you from owning a gun.
Self defense should never matter who's holding the gun. Everyone deserves a right to defend themselves. Kelver didn't pull the trigger and still got sentenced. That would not happen to a white cis male. The justice system is broken. It's up to the public to fix it.
Gun owners watching Ríhanna Kelver’s case should look past her and at the reasoning being used to condemn her, because that reasoning travels.
The facts are on video. A man shoved her to the ground. She drew her pistol, racked it so they would hear it, and pointed it at the man who had just attacked her. She never fired and kept the safety on. The man who shoved her first was never charged. She was, with two felonies and up to fifteen years.
Kelver is not the careless stranger her critics imagine. She grew up around guns and took hunter and firearm safety courses. She was armed that night because of a stalking situation serious enough that the man had already been thrown out of her workplace. That is the responsible carrier the gun community claims to defend.
Even the law she’s charged under protects her. Wyoming only makes drawing a weapon a crime when it is not “reasonably necessary in defense of his person.” Yet many of the people demanding her conviction are not arguing the facts. They are arguing that someone like her had no business being armed at all. The transphobia is doing the work the evidence can’t.
That is what gun owners should sit with. Once a community accepts that a self-defense right can be revoked because the defender is the wrong kind of person, the standard stops being what you did when attacked. It becomes whether the people judging you approve of you. That logic will not stay aimed at trans women in Wyoming. Gun owners are a despised minority in plenty of places, and the same reasoning can be turned on a rancher or a concealed carrier just as easily.
Transphobes need to get a grip and see this for the trap that it is. A right that only protects who you like is not a right. It is a permission slip, and permission slips can be revoked.
@Saboogus Just wait until you find out about the company building a AI data center through a mesh network of devices to be put right outside homes. they're putting four 6,000 Blackwell chips in each one of these. people are about to switch from copper to GPUs when they get installed.
@adamcarolla Because no one is trying to storm the capitol to overturn a federal election. Only thing we ever did was topple statues in DC and occasionally had to defend ourselves against assaults by MPD.
@MHurabiell Ummmm.... Where do you think you are running for Congress. If you think like this maybe you could win in Orange county, not San Francisco you nut
These settlers are part of the reason anti-semetism is growing and it pisses me off. Why do people use my religion to justify sins listed in the Torah.
Israeli settlement council admits to systemic ritual sexual abuse of children following bombshell media investigation
——
The Gush Etzion Regional Council in the occupied West Bank has issued an unprecedented public admission acknowledging severe, multi-participant ritualistic sexual abuse within the settler community, which involved the gang-rape of children. The official statement marks a dramatic reversal for the settlement’s leadership, which had spent years systematically denying and dismissing allegations of sadistic abuse.
The official acknowledgment follows a damning investigative report by journalist Roni Singer on Israel's Kan 11 channel, which aired identical testimonies from five independent victims detailing organized, ritualistic assaults. Confronted with recorded evidence and professional corroboration, the council released a statement denouncing the perpetrators and describing the uncovered acts as "pure evil and a moral distortion."
In an effort to manage the immense public fallout, the settler council published crisis hotline numbers and urged further victims to come forward. The media exposure and subsequent admission are expected to force Israeli police to reopen previously shelved complaints and expand criminal investigations into what is emerging as one of the most organized abuse scandals inside the settlement enterprise.
@ScottTaylorTV Yes I'm aware the ATF classifies machine pistols as machine guns. That dumb. A 9mm machine pistol and an actual MG like the M249 SAW are two separate categories despite the ATF's Chevron based laws.
Would you rather be legally accurate for headlines or technically accurate?
