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

        What high road?

        I am talking about people having a human moment during a medical emergency.

        Maybe you could watch someone die in front of you, but I couldn’t.

        I could kill someone if I needed to but there is a difference in defending yourself when you are in mortal danger and letting someone die.

        If we become the monsters they think we are, then we won’t fix society, we will guarantee the schizm poisons the next generation when the battle is over.

            No. I feel miserable for Alex but maintain my position. That said, should any of the ICE agents been shot right there by anyone on the street whilst commiting a crime I wouldn’t have anything negative to say about their shooting.

          ice is an enemy to which we can give no quarter. they have declared that they can came into our houses, any one of us, with no warrant, no proceedure, nothing but what they decide based on a list of criteria they will not make public, and kidnap us.

          fuck ice. they are destroying families and communities, they are using children as ‘bait’ .

          they cannot be saved.

          let them bleed out.

            I said it in a other comment.

            I don’t think the world is a better place when a 1st grade teachers gut reaction is to watch someone in a medical emergency die.

              I don’t think the world is a better place when a 1st grade teacher saves the fascist and they go out and kidnap a 1st grader to use as bait to send their parents to a death camp in El Salvador.

              In a vacuum it’s the good thing to help someone else in need. In this case the person you’re saving is causing active harm to others.

      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.

        As I think about more of your posts I can see the fear oozing out of them.

        Why not shoot them as you pass? I know for me it falls into barbarism.

        Better yet, since you clearly want them dead, look em up, but em down, be the big damn hero. Show me your mettle, get your ass off your keyboard, and go be a warrior.

        I’ll stay behind mine and consider the long-term ramifications of all my actions and inactions. I’ll stay behind mine so that the social work I do can keep happening as atrocities pile up. We all need jobs when it comes to f defending the home front. You go be a hero, I’ll tend to the hearts and minds of those who will benefit from your sacrifice.

          I’m advocating for every citizen to standby and do nothing if they come upon a wounded or sick pig.

          Btw, I stopped reading after the keyboard warrior thing. Stop being weird.

            What was weird about it?

            I think it’s more weird that you want people to just callously walk by someone having a medical emergency. I think it’s extra weird you would expect a 1st grade teacher to have that as a default position.

            I am terrified of a world where a 1st grade teacher doesn’t go strait to first aid when they are witnessing a medical emergency.
