@realcaseyrollins Honestly it takes the little things in life to make a great day, not the big ones. Those sound like great reasons honestly, especially that you saw friends.
I think there is some passage in the bible that says something like this. I cant recall it but it pretty much summed up as the small things in life are the most important.
Why has your day been so great?
Dude today has been one of my favorite days on the fediverse so far... I got a bunch of fire new memes posted about me, one of the most glorious dumpster fires I have ever had the privilidge of being part of, all while sitting back and doing absolutely nothing.
Today has been a GREAT day.
@herag Agreed, on both sides. You have the left wing media and the right wing media and nowhere to be found is there anything resembling a neutral media.
@timorl As for muting certain words, if it really bothers you that might be a good idea. That said, I doubt it will be a central topic for much longer. I am sure we will have a new riot soon enough and will be discussing a whole new shit show, and before that kyle will be forgotten in a day or two.
@timorl I cant speak for in europe but I never met someone in antifa who's goal was to defend against assaults. I have heard them however plan to go with the intent to assault others whom they disagree with. I'm not sure how relevant it is anyway.
People should shoot people who try to take the life of others (or assault someone which may result in death anyway). Yes I firmly believe that. If you dont want to get shot, then dont try to kill or maim other people. Its a reasonable social contract.
@timorl Ok let me rephrase, because I agree "deserve" to die isnt quite the correct word for what I feel.. like i dont want him to die for what he did, dieing is just the natural and rightful consequence of what he did. In others his death is his fault
But yes antifa rarely shoot or kill people, they start violence, they burn down homes with families in it, they burn down cars and businesses, but they dont shoot people.. Kyle on the other hand, he provided first aid to several people, cleaned up graffitti and only **only** shot when he had no other choice and his life was in danger. Otherwise he commited no violence other than what he needed to to save his life/prevent an assault.
Of the two ill take a person who kills to protect his life from an assault/killer over someone who initiates violence on random people and property.
@zero Sweet, FEmales are my favorite kind of male!
@lucifargundam That too :)
So apparently the Kenosha Riots where Kyle shot 2 people in self defense is officially called "Kenosha Unrest", presumably so the violent looters and rioters dont sound so bad... Makes it sound like the town just had a bought of insomnia and couldnt fall asleep. But some old ladies walking into the capital building, that is called an insurrection...
But hey are we even pretending the media isnt bias anymore or what?
@lucifargundam Only reason I wake up at all is because the world has doggos.
the result of checking the news right now
Are you implying the deep south is the only place they have serial rapists who anal raped 5 different kids under the age of 11 and then chast down kids in the street after dark once they get out trying to assault them?
@cwebber@octodon.social
@timorl A person deserving to die (which was not a joke, he did deserve to die) is NOT the same as being gleeful he died. If you try to physically assault someone and possibly kill them you deserve to die. I wont be gleeful about it, but you still deserve to die.
That said I often do engage in dark humor and make all sorts of horrible jokes about death and even good people. If there is one thing you should know about me its thatI expected people to take a joke and the only people I'd be sensative about a deatha round would be the family of a person who died, or people I'd expect to generally grieve. A serial rapist who anal raped 5 children and was about to assault a 6th is not one I expect anyone would grieve and while I wouldnt go so far as to say im gleeful, I certainly have no problem joking about the death of such a monster either.
As for antifa, I've been to a lot of protests. I have only ever saw them start violence and have yet to personally witness them try to stop it. In america at least, cant speak for europe.
@timorl 1) it was a joke (and I would hope it would be obvious).. 2) i never once took or expressed glee in anyones death 3) if I did go out there with an AR-15 I'd be saving/protecting lives.
Just a reminder the word victim has been banned in court cases around the country for well over a decade now.

@stux One is cute, 30 of them working together to create a super caterpillar, not cute.
@stux At first I was gonna post "nope, fuck this dude, no funny" .. then i saw the ending and I'm "Yup, this belongs here"
@stux No swarm is not the correct term. The correct term for that is a nightmare.
