Gov. Tim Walz has activated the National Guard after 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti was shot and killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of protesters.
I’m not sure how you read a comment pissed off at internet bystanders continually howling for people to bring guns to protests and decided that meant I was blaming him for being murdered.
in what way is that expected?
Because this is the gestapo, are you fucking serious? You think they aren’t being told to kill people that look at them funny? Do you think a single person taking a gun to an anti-Nazi protest in Germany in 1935 would have been perfectly safe? Did bringing a gun help this guy at ALL?
If you feel you absolutely have to bring a gun to a protest, learn from the Black Panthers.
That how you decided to interpret what I said, if you don’t want to actually read what I’m saying there’s nothing I can do about that.
Getting hit by a car is the expected result of riding a bike in the street here, if you do it long enough, which is why I don’t do it even though it’s legal. That doesn’t mean it’s the cyclist’s fault if they get hit or that the driver is blameless.
…if you are legally allowed to ride a bike in a road and you are hit by someone for doing that, then that person is still legally responsible for hitting you.
Like. Did you even watch the video? What part of what happened appeared inevitable to you?
You can keep denying what you’re saying. But it’s clear that only one of us actually understands the weight of what is actually being expressed.

Right there. That’s you blaming him. Fuck all the way off.
If you don’t want to read a single thing I’m saying I can’t make you.
If you don’t want to own your simping for the gestapo, no one can make you.
I don’t typically read fascist apologia, no.
Because that’s what you’re saying. What did HE expect bringing a gun to a protest?
