Oh look someone with a Pro-Genocide tag shows up to defend charging people for the violence committed against them.
Such surprise.
Ridiculous. Go touch grass, honestly. "Pro genocide." You're so gullible and reactionary. Such a surprise your media literacy is such utter dogshite.
Your name is rather distinctive. But just to make sure I didn't forget about your shilling for Israeli Apartheid and War Crimes I added a tag. So yeah I'm not surprised you're in favor of charging people with murder for the police shooting their friends.
Thats churlish. You can't handle disagreeing with someone?
Why not just say: "I haven't figured out how to handle my emotions yet"?
No I can disagree with people just fine. But I don't tolerate the presence of people who use propaganda to defend the most blatant and horrendous war crimes. It's the same as tolerating the presence of a neo Nazi. For the record Israel hit another IDP camp this week, the EU and Human Rights Watch have said Israel is using starvation as a weapon against the Palestinian people, and now 7 of our allies are restricting or refusing arms sales to Israel.
Furthermore I mean what I said above literally. I am not surprised to find a defender of all of that coming here to defend the felony murder rule being used when the police did the killing.
Or, and this just struck me, are you saying my shit memory for people means I'm churlish?
The two have nothing to do with each other. You seem unhinged. It was also you that brought up Israel. Its a strawman and you just committed to it again in this reply.
Okay let me break this down Barney style.
Support for Authoritarian A makes support for Authoritarian B unsurprising.
Get it now?
I never said I didn't understand, I said I disagree with the logic of bringing it up. You can do whatever you want, I won't stop you. I do still think you maybe need some emotional regulation help but if you can't handle disagreeing with complete strangers on the internet, I won't force you into it.
Ah yes. Clear logic means I can't regulate my emotions. That makes complete sense.
Well you sound better now at least.
You only reveal your failure to understand my position. Again, sorry I can't dumb it down for you any further, the subject inherently complex.
Your position isn't complex. It's just reprehensible.
Why are you always mean when people disagree with you? I noticed this a lot. You always claim that you can't dumb it down further to someone else. Strange mechanism to defend your opinion.
To be fair, they replied to a question in good faith and then the other person replied by calling them pro-genocide.
If you read most things JustZ, you would probably take that back... JustZ is a genocide denier in every sense of the word and they always say the other person is dumb when they are challenged.
One opinion has nothing to do with the other. Seems like they earnestly hold their positions, whether I disagree with them or not. Y'all are just trying to take shortcuts to judging someone's character. You know next to nothing about them.
I invite you to read the rest of the shit he writes. You won't need shortcuts.
Kind of funny. The same folks saying Smith’s prior involvement in uncharged murders shouldn’t be considered in his sentencing are also making summary judgments against commenters based on comment history.
Some folks just really embrace contrarianism as a personality trait I suppose.
They should use that in sentencing. If its not convicted it won't matter as much. It was not used to determine guilt. They determined the defendant was likely aware that his actions along with his friends would lead to violence, and he went along anyways. He also did the only possible thing at the time in running and hiding. We don't know what he would have done had he had the gun that night. At best that should not go either way towards guilt or innocence.
