You got a source?
I can't find anything online about the killer being caught or even being identified. It may even be a real cop.
Hold on, someone killed legislators? Is this a hypothetical or did this just happen?
What news have I been missing out on? Actually maybe I'd rather not know, too much depression right now.
2 democrat lawmakers were assasinated, plus the dog, and he had more targets.
We had Luigi, now we have his archnemesis, the Waluigi
Nah don't do Walugi like that. He's more of a rival than nemesis. More like Lugi turned up to 11 with a plan
One was assassinated. The other was only injured.
The short answer: yes
A MN state rep and her husband were murdered and a state senator and his wife were shot and are in "grave" danger.
MAGA Nut Kills political opponents.
End story.
Civil War is in the beginning stages between L.A. and this.
Sure, it started on inauguration day... but, now it's truly ramping up.
Civil war my ass. The actual civil war had a clear geographic and economic divide between a manufacturing, wage-labor north and an agrarian, slave-owning south.
The fuck kind of divide is this supposed to be over today? Left/right culture war? Most people are still completely checked out. Yankees are very very comfortable (precarious comfort, but still comfortable) and lead 99.99% identical lives to one another. There is not going to be a civil war.
Calling it Left vs Right culture is kinda over simplifying it but kinda. The problem is that a lot of regions have shifted in their beliefs and even further separated since the civil war, just cause I and a Utah Mormon live vaguely similar day to day lives doesn't mean we are culturally compatible.
This is closer to the Yugoslav troubles before its initial break down in the 90s, a bunch of cultures who while broadly similar on a surface level have friction with one another regardless due to deeper issues. It just happens to be manifesting on a political level since most Americans will happily suppress their own regional identity in favor of the American imperial Identity.
Some experts think it'll be low intensity conflict like The Troubles, but at a much larger scale.
Was he really a deranged maniac, though, or was that just part of him pretending to be a cop..?
Man some people take method acting way too far.
If you like to play cop you're a deranged maniac anyway, so tomato tomato
What part of being a cop, or wanting to be a cop, disqualifies someone from being a deranged maniac?
None. Rather, it's practically a requirement. Hence my question.
I don't think you read their comment correctly.
They are saying that being a deranged maniac is part of their pretending to be a cop, not that it disqualifies them from being a cop.
i'm just being a deranged maniac as a hobby. i don't get paid for it like the popo
“Police Officer means Terrorist? What a country!”
freest country in the world! Ahhh, the ~~serenity~~freedom!
I 2nd this. If you stop me or my wife the first thing I need to see if a badge, id, and warrant. Not one or the other. 2out of three at least.
This is exactly where the 2nd amendment and the Blue Lives Matter movements collide. If both civilians and police have the legal right to arm and defend themselves with lethal force, and neither has a responsibility to show restraint or demonstrate cause, then you have created a situation where an innocent civilian and a good cop could kill each other in self defense and neither would have done anything wrong.
Edit: I'm not going to respond to each comment saying there are no good cops. My point is that the cop does not have to be a bad cop for the civilian to have reasonable fear for their life, nor does the civilian need to be a criminal for the cop to have a reasonable fear for their life. Both are legally justified in killing the other person, and both are legally entitled to own a weapon capable of killing the other. That's not a society, that's a war. Ir we didn't already have a police force, and you described their function in their current state to a peaceful society, they would think you were mad.
A good cop won't create a situation where an innocent civilian will feel the need to use lethal force.
Too bad there is no such thing as a good cop
A cop doesn't need to be a bad cop to create a situation where the civilian has a reasonable fear for their life. I'm a believer that ACAB, but even if I'm wrong, it's still an untenable situation.
It always blows my mind when I see Back the Blue flags next to Gadsden flags. Who do they think is doing the treading?!
I think the problem arises when you project a view of treating people equally onto someone who does not have such a view.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
The Gadsden flag expresses support for the freedom of the in-group and the Back the Blue flag expresses support for the oppression of the out-group.
You nailed it. Well put!
It makes sense if you remember that conservativism doesn't actually exist, and all people claiming to be conservatives are just narcissists who pick and choose what they care about in any given situation.
Eh. Conservatism does exist but, it's never been what it's claimed to be. It's all about establishing and enforcing hierarchical power structures in society by any means necessary. Almost universally, the adherents desire to have power over others, so, even if they're not at the top, they get to be cruel towards their "lessers" and that makes them feel better about themselves. Through the lens of their philosophy, things like hypocrisy are privileges of those higher in the hierarchy with which to taunt their "lessers".
Additionally, they do not believe in objective reality but, subjective reality that bends to their will (when it doesn't, they deny the delta and pretend that it does). This applies to morality as well; moral correctness is relative to one's place in the hierarchy, not their actions (ie supporting a convicted felon, rapist and pedophile is ok because he's rich and supports hierarchy).
The reason, I think, that the belief system has been able to stick around so long (beyond the propaganda) is that its followers do gain some mental health benefits. They are able to reduce their cognitive load through deference to their rulers and reduce potential for anxiety and depression by avoiding self-reflection and embracing the Just World Fallacy.
You're describing shared narcissism.

Who do they think is doing the treading?!
Woke leftists. Duh.
There are no good cops.
I'm not disagreeing with you. My point was that neither person needs to be a criminal to create a situation where both have a legal justification for deadly force in self defense. Like how fucked up is that?
a good cop
Well now you just blew the argument by making an impossible scenario =^)
I wonder how many people who support both movements would consider themselves “pro-life.”

I think it bears mentioning that the “deranged maniac” title isn’t the whole story. I don’t know about this guy in particular, but a lot of these guys are all part of far-right online cliques that share propaganda amongst each other while valorizing the guys who do this shit.
I wouldnt be surprised if right wing websites are celebrating this guy as a hero and an example to follow
