Like how george floyd beat up and robbed women, then became a martyr and it was a cancellation to mention his crimes and that no one wanted him as a neighbor.
Doesn't sound like he was a good man, but he was nonetheless murdered, in cold blood, by cops, on video.
Kirk was murdered by a lone gunman, who didn't like his politics, on video.
Kinda doesn't compare though? Kirk is a case of the government creating a martyr. And the government has far more power than the populace demonstrating, or even rioting.
Does that make sense? They were both bad men who were murdered in cold blood, on VERY public video. But the Trump admin can put real legs on "their" event, just as with Wessel.
Anyway, thanks for saying that, not being snarky. Be prepared to be murdered in the comments and likely banned. :(
I dont applaud anyone of them. police were held accountable for killing floyd, and court room justice i always value over comment section mob Justice.
He just wasnt a saint, he was a bad element in society. Also No one should be killed by police like he was.
Anyone whos holding women up and robbing and beating them should be on jail or a mandatory recovery center.
And kirk and floyd only have one thing in common....their killings were on video. Like kennedy...it just ups the attention and pain.
Like ray rice, he got suspended for 2 games for beating his wife. Then the video came out and people and were furious, it got upped and he got in more trouble....because it was on film.
On general we need less propaganda and more realism.
Ty fpr the civil back and forth.
I guess on the bright side, shitty takes like this are an indication that Lemmy is growing.
Edgelords and furries are foundation species.
Is your trolling always this obvious?
Civil discussion above. Hes a piece for you , he broke into a womans apartment in 2007 and held her hostage while robbong her.
Just tell me your ok w that happening to your mom and ill reconsider him being a hero vs a recidivist criminal who was wrongly killed.
Sir, this is a comic about nazi propaganda.
An interesting thing the nazis did was portray jews, blacks, disabled, etc. as irredeemable criminals in order to justify extra-judicial punishment.
Do you think it's possible that he got caught up in a system he couldn't get out of? Can't you imagine a scenario where you're desperate and can't find work because you've got a criminal record?
Things are always more complicated in real life. I'm not excusing anyone's actions, but surely you can put part of the blame on the system he was forced into.
Hey if not wanting someone as a neighbor deserved the death penalty, people like you would be on death row.
Also, tell the truth now, how badly do you wish you could have used the n-word in your comment about George Floyd?
You got your downvotes, happy?
