Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"In America you can be legally extra judicially executed by the police for the actions of people that you get to know"

Thanks, Joe. I was going to vote so fucking hard for you in November.

[–] Cammy@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

You still can ✍️

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You still can! Write in Joe 2020202020, Jack!

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I'm going to write in "JoeByeThen, the guy from Hexbear" or maybe, like, AIDS or something. Black Plague for president.

So when the police illegally trepass on our property, our options are:

  1. Do nothing and let them whatever they want, and ruin the things you've worked hard to get, and potentially cause you physical harm.

  2. Attempt to defend your property and then they are allowed to kill you and/or the people you love.

  3. Kill them first and go to jail for the rest of your life on murder charges.

Personally, if cops illegally enter my house without a warrant, I without question will sacrifice my life in prison to keep my girls safe from tyrants.

Death, and I can not stress this enough, to America

This is deeply upsetting and a low for the US (in)justice system even for them.

[–] Cammy@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago

The US is disgusting and so is its pretense of being anywhere near just.

And this is why I advocate for catching a pair of blue laces if the opportunity should approach you. "I feared for my life" works for them; so why shouldn't it work for us too

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Because that defense doesn't fly against cops.

If you were to kill a cop, you're not going to make it to a trial. They will kill you

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They were gonna kill me anyway, regardless of whether or not I'm standing my ground.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

this is where i'm at now. worst case, they kill you. best case, they kill you after you kill some of them.

easy choice.

how to get results

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As horrible as it is, my gut reaction was "lol", but not like funny "lol", more like existential crisis, i dont even know what to feel "lol". Admittedly it’s not something I had been following, but wasn't expecting there to be any sort of justice. I fee like they pretty much just said that castle doctrine killed her, not them.

May I offer a 🙃 in this time of need
