Conservative media does value cop lives more than the rest of us, and they feel no shame or remorse in that.

But they don’t care all that much about cop lives either. All they want to do is sell the idea that there’s a deranged communist-liberal war on cops so the fascist enforcement arm can be excused in moving to the next phase of seizing power: blanket, violent crackdowns.

There is also the slim chance that him worrying causes a cardiovascular event that fucking kills him. Slim, but probably more likely than anyone tangibly holding him to account.

I think people in general are just overwhelmed, worn down, or straight up broken, and that’s not conducive to being present and good to other people, romantically or otherwise.

So basically they were lucky he was dumb and went back to hide in the woods right near his house. He could have left the state and went into hiding with that kind of lead time.

Yeah, this is the point in the police interrogation where the detective shrinks back, shuts up, and lets the recording soak everything up.

The demented rapist might perjure himself more critically if he keeps it up.

The justification for banning Glocks under this bill is that they readily accept switches. Which is dumb, of course.

Several states broadly ban the sale/possession of “fire rate accelerating devices”…the usual suspects, CA, NY, NJ, MA…it’s broad and vague, but it’s enough that retailers of these items won’t sell to people in those states.

What they don’t know is that you could probably make a similar device for just about any striker-fired handgun, but criminals focus their design efforts on Glock because it’s popular and widely available. Take Glocks away, and they’ll find another model to slap switches onto.

Sure, just don’t be shocked if your victim decides “If the only way to defend my family is to blow this fed’s head off with a shotgun, I’ll take it.”

Probably doesn’t end well for that person, but you’ll still be dead and distinctly not supporting your family anymore. Hopefully the conservative gofundme can tide them over.

So he’s thought about it every single day for at least the past week.

Progress on any kind of internal resistance thus far has not been promising.

Germany was a broken country when it fell to Nazism. They were quite thoroughly demilitarized before kicking things off. While it was impressive what they were able to pull out of a hat as far as war materiel goes, it was ultimately failing logistics that killed them.

The US is one of the strongest economies in the world, in spite of what orange man is doing. We have sizeable oil reserves, unlike Germany. We have ten times the weapons that the next 10 military powers have combined. We are separated from our biggest adversaries by oceans, which we own by virtue of having 10 times the naval vessels.

I’m not sure an antifascist victory is guaranteed, at least in the short term.

Certain people really want to know where you are on the totem pole. I’ve definitely gotten some barely contained disdain at formal events when I’ve told people I haven’t gone to full university.

They’re counting any injury during an “arrest”, no matter how minor or who’s at fault as assault. Pulling away from being grabbed, officers (often older, overweight ones) hurting themselves while throwing people to the ground, etc.

Half of the articles I’m seeing out of Fox these days have to do with poor ICE agents being targeted for doing their jobs and exaggerating the threat they face.

They are fucking terrified of the possibility of an actual operator opening a can of whoopass on their knuckledraggers Dallas-style. And I guess a little giddy, because then they’ll have consent to ramp things up.

“Stumbled across” yeah
