I think I would also help the enemy, but I don't blame anyone if they won't.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

It's fine to provide first aid to enemy combatants as long as they are imprisoned until the war is over.

Well, I have to commend them on their compassion. I'm not sure I would have done the same; and that's being an epileptic myself...

What stayed with Amundson most, she said, was not the adrenaline of the moment but the realization that came while she was holding the agent’s head in her hands and keeping his airway open.

“I was hit so hard with the fact that this man would not do this for me,” she said.

Her mind went immediately to Renee Good.

I couldn't. Not just because it's ICE, but because if I didn't manage to save him I know I'd be charged with murder.

[–] CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 15 points 3 hours ago

I feel the same way. I got to the part where she unholstered his gun and wondered to myself if I would have that same grace.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

No. Do not help them. Ever. Let them watch as their fellow brown shirt convulses, until he doesn’t.

They let Good die, even going so far as to bar a medical professional from rendering aid.

The humane thing to do is let them suffer in their final moments. Let’s hope more agents have “medical episodes”.

I replied to your other comment, too.

Something seems off about your position.

It's like watching the Patriot, the scene where the cavalry is at the farm, and they shoot all the recovering revolutionaries. It's just barbaric.

Civility and society are a social contract, if someone rips theirs up to free themselves from its restrictions, they also remove themselves from its protections.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

It’s nice to think about things like morality, humanity, and diplomacy…in a vacuum. The world is a bastardization of that vacuum.

We know that the fascists will do anything to achieve their goals. They don’t follow court orders, they violate constitutional rights constantly.

When one of the pigs breaks down your door, kidnaps your family, ignores judge’s ruling’s ordering the release of your family, sexually assaults your women and children, chokes the men out unconscious, possibly killing some of them in the process—you would not bat an eye to see one of them squealing in pain.

It wouldn’t make you feel better, but you’d know there is one less feral pig on the streets.

She Helped an ICE Agent? TERRORIST!

-Kristi Noem!

"We believe the women used a combination of siren song and/or witchcraft to induce the seizure"

[–] Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone 15 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

That is horrible situation to placed in. Helping save someone who is actively trying to ruin your life and hurt you. They did the right thing, but there must be little satisfaction in helping these oppressors.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

They didn’t do the right thing though. We are not in a peacetime situation where we are extending olive branches to the terrorists, in hopes of showing them our humanity. They. Do. Not. Care.

The only good fascist is the one with blue lips.

[–] TWeaK@lemmy.today 8 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Sure. But we aren't them. We do care. We have humanity.

Let's not sacrifice that and lower ourselves to their level.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 hour ago

No. This is why democrats fail. They are not willing to do what needs to be done, to say what needs to be said, for fear of their farts not smelling like roses.

Take your high road, write a letter, and slam the nazi’s in a clever tweet.

[–] lemmyseikai@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Like... I get it... But at the same time the moment we give up our humanity we are not better than they are.

[–] turdburglar@piefed.social 3 points 2 hours ago

high road = dead end

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

They have proven time and time again that they don’t care about humanity. They don’t care about “doing what’s right”. There is no scorecard here. We’re to the point where they are maiming and murdering in the streets.

Just think for one second here, all of the terrible videos we’ve seen are a snowflake on top of the iceberg that is their daily crimes and abuses.

If you see an injured pig, be sure to piss on it before you pass it by.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You should know that you are in no way obliged to render aid to anyone ever.

My United States is showing. Even then, I just learned that Louisiana has such a law.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 hours ago

It's the right thing to do, but I don't think God appreciates his work being shit on like that
