Being shot in the back by the police while clearly being 1) a news reporter being filmed by her camera man and 2) even more clearly being no danger to anyone are “dangers of reporting in a war zone”? What fucking planet are you living on, dipshit?
Sockonia. It’s the third planet in the Trollstar system.
My comment was an attempt at sarcasm since trump has now deployed the Marines.
Because he isn’t living in the GTA-inspired fictional world of your imagination.
Stranger
Isn’t this a parody threat?
Not quite.
It’s a chance to rant about what Trump is actually doing.
I’m sure that somewhere in the L.A. metroplex, SOMEBODY is going to be robbing a business, destroying personal property, and maybe even blocking streets, but it doesn’t seem to be happening in the areas I’m seeing, no matter what the RWNJ press is saying.
Earth. Our military has a history of killing reporters in war zones “by accident”. Whether it’s shooting them at checkpoints, or “accidentally” blowing up their hotel room with a missile.
I expect those two reporters were very much shot on purpose, both to discourage others and just out of general hatred for reporters.
Please. That’s insulting to mutants.
I mean, mutation is an essential thing for evolution and adaption, which has kept life going on this rock for 4 billion+ years. It’s not always beneficial but it is very much needed for long term survival.
Whereas the people you name are completely useless when not outright detrimental.
They are definitely detrimental to our long-term survival.
Do try to keep up. There’s even a convenient video here that you can watch of the incident. The reporter was 1) not in a fucking war zone and 2) wasn’t shot by the military. She was shot by the police which are, in fact, not part of the military. The same way a protest isn’t a war zone. You can even tell because said reporter isn’t wearing the ubiquitous blue non-threatening body armor with the word “PRESS” emblazoned on it that they wear when they are in actual war zones.
Irrelevant, since both the police and military are armed government institutions. And thus at this point fascist.
That is singularly one of the stupidest things I’ve read on this board, the worst attempt to dodge the point, all while simultaneously avoiding the simple fact that LA is not, in fact, a war zone.
No, stupid is what you are doing; throwing out baseless insults without even trying to present your side of an argument.
That you haven’t managed to find my side of the argument after replying to two posts explaining it very clearly really says something: that you are exceptionally stupid. Once more in small sentences for you:
-
She was not shot by the military. She was shot by the police.
-
She was not shot in a war zone. She was shot filming a protest.
-
The police is not the military, no matter how much you want to pretend it is.
-
Your aside about the military “history of killing reporters in war zones “by accident”” is thus a complete non sequitur. It has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.
Look folks, it’s not a war it’s a police action.
I think some folks are missing the point that the admnistration, aka our government, considers the locale chosen to be a war zone as the administration pretends believes that the non-US citizens are invaders and the protestors are aiding and abetting the invaders and thus are traitors themselves.
So, yeah, being shot while reporting there is “danger of reporting from a war zone” because the administration is waging war. They’re waging war on our constituiton and on the people.
@DerTrihs Did I get that right?
No, disagreeing with you isn’t being “stupid”. You however are demonstrably dishonest, claiming I said things I didn’t so you can insult me about them. I never said it was a war zone, nor that she was shot in a war zone, nor that the police are soldiers. You’re just a liar.
Like this woman?
Law enforcement officers have shot a woman with what appears to be “less lethal” ammunition at close range while she was walking alone near her residence in Los Angeles, new footage shot during the recent protests reveals.
The video, which was taken by another woman and shared on social media, shows the woman walking down a street alone. A line of law enforcement officers appear to tell her to leave the area.
Moments later there is a loud bang as one of the officers appears to fire at the woman, who steps back after being hit and staggers away.
Later she can heard saying: “I live here.”
If it’s not a war zone, then what the fuck are the marines doing there?
Oh yeah, Trump.
