I'm going to argue against your warning. Yes, it's awful. Yes, it'll probably change you. However, that needs to happen. I say the same thing about people voting and war. They should watch the brutality of war and let that effect their voting. People need to witness horror so they can't sit back in ignorance. You should be traumatized, because we're going through trauma. You can't just hide from it forever.
It’s a fair argument but there is a large slide bar on resilience. Just like not everyone can be taught, not everyone can face that sort of thing and not turn into a mental puddle. That’s what our military is supposed to be for, to protect those people so they can do their part untouched by that crap. Just not in today’s America under the regime of chaos brutality.
no. those federal agents murdering people are our employees. we pay them, those that can handle violence and those that cant. everyone needs to own what people are doing IN THE NAME OF AMERICA, in our name, with our money, and with our blessing if we dont stop them, all of us
watching people you employ kill someone makes you uncomfotable?
