I only want to hear answers from Tankies right now.

Edit: I feel like I’m really spamming this place with low-grade Reddit slop today but honestly I just keep finding a goldmine of toxic lib-brain and don’t know what to do with it so I’m sorry, y’all.

  • i am in favor of documenting as much as possible. that way, in a decade or whatever, after the provisional revolutionary government has re-established basic order, citizen documentation can be matched with the declassified archives to make sure we hunt down each and every one of these fucks as part of a comprehensive denazification program.

    especially the clever ones that managed to avoid justice during the initial chaos. they cannot be allowed to hide.

    “heh, wait till my lawyer hears about this” I say smugly while being forced to my knees in front of the pit I just dug at gunpoint

    SCOTUS ruled a long time ago that it doesn’t matter if what the cop did was illegal.

    If the cop might have possibly thought it was legal while doing it, like if it could be imagined that maybe the cop thought it was legal, then it’s legal for the cop to do it.

    Quite literally that’s the law of the land in the USA. Until SCOTUS rules that you cannot shoot a woman in the face as a border patrol agent in Minnesota, then maybe just maybe the cop thought he was allowed to do it. And the cop did it which is evidence the cop at least felt it was legal. So even though inevitably it will be ruled illegal because it’s obviously murder, it’s still ok for the cop to do that.

    If anything, capturing evidence that the practice of brutalizing protestors is commonplace would be, in effect, legally exonerating the cops in the eyes of SCOTUS.

      And the people at the top of the administration are telling them “you are allowed to do anything you want,” so of course they might believe they’re allowed to do whatever they want. Neat little circle!

      i’ve said this a million times by now, but liberals really do believes laws and fallacious arguments work like harry potter spells. you just yell out the name (to quoque! appeal to authority! that’s illegal!) and point and then the badguy shrinks into a corncob

    The only lawyer I want to hear from right now is Daredevil

    Maybe Vigilante, but he strikes me more as an ICE supporter

    Daredevil has all that Catholic guilt, easy to manipulate
