I mean, we don’t need to resort to ableist slurs though…

The topic is obviously about defense against a tyrannical domestic government.

Do you… think the Constitution applies to foreign people in other countries? *Do you think they believe that??

How dare you insult those Patriots! We have to accept the outsized gun violence and school shootings that don’t happen in other countries because the heroes are going to battle all US armies with small arms like pistols, rifles, and shotguns! I’m sure they’ll be effective against tanks, bombs, satellite imagery, worldwide intelligence networks, missiles, machine guns, drones, nuclear warheads…

You think the maga freaks care what’s legal!? AND traditional “small government, financially conservative” Republicans give them the cover they need to defraud and strip the country for scrap, they are just as complicit. Any true Patriot would have voted to haul them in front of Congress by now (no matter what party), or impeached Trump…

Yeah, because they have to account to Republican and Democratic administrations repeatedly. Other than defense spending, which is just allowed to literally not add up…

Lol can he sue people for not wanting his bad Swasticars?

Uh, what? You’re right, context and truth don’t matter to the maga freaks. That’s why it has to matter to us. How would (non cultish) voters ever be able to trust us again?? We’d be manifesting the “both sides” argument! We can resist like hell without spreading disinformation…

You don’t count, you would simply feel like a loaf.

You’re right, I’ve since read the article and they aimed for the heart. Death was pronounced within 3 minutes of the shots. But I don’t think this particular execution used the “random bullet and 2 blanks” method, or at least that’s not a detail mentioned in the article:

“He chose the firing squad knowing that three bullets would shatter his bones and destroy his heart,” said King. “But that was the only choice he had, after the state’s three executions by lethal injection inflicted prolonged and potentially torturous deaths on men he loved like brothers.”

Defensive… If someone asks you for advice, and says they have doubts about the answer they received from a Magic 8-Ball, how would you feel?

No one is arguing it’s perfect or “painless”, but in light of high-profile botched executions where the convict is unintentionally(?) tortured for hours before they died it seems to be the better option.

Multiple people targeting your brain and heart… It will be worse to watch and you might cause psychological damage to anyone watching or taking part… but at least you won’t suffer for long.

EDIT:

and stomach

As I mentioned in another comment, they aim for the heart, from 15 feet (4.5 meters) away. And there’s usually at least 3 shooters, so even if multiple people are abysmally bad marksmen, no one’s dying slowly from a gut shot…

Hard.

That’s all I want, chummer!

You’ve seen what they think of women, right?

Let me guess: this idiot and his supporters ignored all warnings and voted for Trump…?

Did you happen to notice that GWB is not currently president or dictator? Like, yeah he was shitty, but he didn’t participate in a violent attack on the nation’s capitol. He didn’t illegally try to get other states to “find him votes”. He didn’t participate in a fake elector scheme. He didn’t say the 1st Amendment wasn’t legal anymore. He didn’t consider imposing martial law…

Not surprising. Fuck you, Musk pathetic racist asshole…

Gleeful about the preventable deaths of those who live in a different area or have different beliefs is a Republican mentality. We have to be better than that…

Oh, and they’re innocent fucking kids.

I hope you’re right, but we can’t even get our fellow citizens to vote against fascism. Now some are expecting these same people to protest, engage in economic boycotts, risk their livelihoods by staying home from their jobs, and more!?
