Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

If you threaten someone and then they punch you, and then you murder them, and then you involve dozens of unrelated people in your chase across town, it seems like the equation would change quite a bit.
Nevertheless, it's hilarious to see Hexbearites' tune pull a complete 180 on punitive measures and American self-defense laws when their guy does it. This site throws a hissy fit every time some generic robber gets shot, malds about excessive force, and then immediately turns around and justifies the same thing x100 when it's convenient for them.
When a shoplifter is killed, it's the unnecessary death of an impoverished person caused by excessive force, but when an entire bus gets hijacked because some psycho didn't like being confronted about his behavior, jeopardizing the lives of dozens of people, many of them minorities that you pretend to care about, suddenly going in guns blazing and emptying lead into your enemies is good, actually.
Going from condemning the police for killing violent criminals because they didn't actually pose a threat to their safety, praising Chinese cops for disarming and apprehending them instead of killing them, to justifying a violent and psychotic rampage over having a gun pulled on you after threatening people across the scene from a mass shooting is quite the leap.
