It's a real answer. Thank you.

💯

Idk I guess my eyes have an AI filter on them. Can't seem to see his hand doing the physical motion of drawing the gun until after he's standing in front of the car. Crazy. They also just released another angle showing she definitely tried to block traffic and sat there honking for a while before she was approached, so your arguments aren't aging very well. No worries tho. I unsubscribed from the news part of Lemmy. You can have it 😁

His feet in the video clearly show that he was hit, even if it wasn't that hard. He could have avoided it by stepping aside, but that doesn't change the fact that her tires were turned towards him when she hit the gas, but she quickly turned the other way to avoid him. Was that on purpose? Who knows, but it makes sense to me that he would want to fire at the car if he believes he's about to be run over, which would be true whether he's a demon or an angel(the same being true for calling her a bitch immediately after). Of course, that doesn't mean it's justified according to the law, just like if someone hits you in the face, many people's reaction would be to hit back, even though that might not be the right thing to do. Beyond that, we have many years of videos of police interactions with people where they did have to shoot, sometimes when someone tried to run them over, which would be vehicular homicide. That's the case for justification.

I suppose, yet again, if I(and textbooks) don't agree with your definitions of empathy and sociopath, I'm in the wrong by default, but then, I guess you're arguing "empathy" over logic, so it really shouldn't be surprising. Thank you for helping me to understand your point of view, even if you don't want to have a discussion.

I absolutely agree.

Interesting. So what comes next? Civil war or hostile conservative takeover? I'm certainly not arguing we aren't headed for fascism.

Fair enough.

I agree and that's probably exactly what's going to happen. I'm honestly, genuinely just confused how half of the nation sees one thing and the other half sees the exact opposite in the same exact clips. Both halves would be willing to die on that hill(and a civil war would do exactly that). Is it mass manipulation or is half the nation just lying? The whole scenario is just unreal and no one seems to know(or care) exactly why.

I agree there are a lot of sociopaths out there, but do you know what that word means? I'm asking some questions to get more people's viewpoints on this because clearly a bunch of people don't see it the way I do, which is confusing to me. Does that reaaaally make me a sociopath?

Agreed, but what's the alternative? I can't get on board with Libertarians either.

Just like poor George Floyd
