4·4 days agoGuns are LOUD. Much louder than you expect.
Especially handguns. As a kid I’d shot lots of rifles including some beautiful .22s and the latter weren’t very loud. As an adult I picked up a .22 pistol and figured I’d go out in the woods and plink a little w/it. First shot … holy hell, WTF was that?? Yeah I got my hearing back but I’ve never pulled a trigger again w/o ear protection.
“he got his s*** rocked,” - just the kind of speech you want to want to hear from a federal agency. Classy bunch, really dignified.
This poor victim, if he somehow survives and is released (no doubt after some more beatings in retribution for getting a judge on his side) will have traumatic brain injury and be disabled for the rest of his life. All because ICE, empowered and funded by Trump and Republicans, hires violent sociopaths and encourages them to do such things.
Considering they were all pig-piled on top of him and beating him right before the execution, for no reason other than “it’s fun!”, I’m not the least surprised at this. ICE are violent sociopaths, overjoyed at being allowed to employ lethal violence whenever they choose (and no doubt being encouraged to do so), and they were celebrating the “kill” they’d just made.
It’s obvious from the fact that they unloaded on his body even after the victim was dead that they all wanted nothing more than to beat and shoot someone, and well, shit, even if the guy is dead already, you’d can at least riddle his body with bullets and get 90% of the feeling of having murdered someone. Even if you didn’t actually file the lethal shot it’s still a rush, and better luck next time when you might be the one, the first guy to pull the trigger, can’t wait!
I wouldn’t be surprised to see them breaking out the beers and partying after a kill. That is, after relieving the victim’s corpse of their wallet, phone and other valuables of naturally.
Spokane city is purple. There’s no industry here with products to sell to the Department of Domestic Terrorism though. I’m surprised central or eastern WA doesn’t (yet, AFAIK) have any concentration camps & related logistics companies. It’s interesting how much business MT got out of all this. They must be well-connected MAGA-wise.
shot a US citizen to death
The correct word, the one they’re avoiding here, is “murdered”.
You drive a hard bargain. OK if the 'Bans aren’t exactly new? Flexible on tiddie dimensions?
As much as I hate to allude to Rddt, r/QAnonCasualties is a great support forum for dealing with these kinds of people and with cutting them off when necessary.
I’m getting charged over $1000 for taking an ambulance to the hospital
It’s $5000+ here.
The “Straight White American Jesus” podcast touched on this sin-of-empathy stuff recently. Listen here:

"Brad Onishi and Dan Miller connect the dots between City’s Church, ICE, Doug Wilson’s theological orbit, and the ideology behind The Sin of Empathy, showing how a strain of Christian nationalism produces pastors who see no contradiction between pulpit ministry and state violence. "
