Warning: Video clips into bodycam footage of the attack on Paul Pelosi. The blow is not on camera, it's behind a wall, but it's on the startling side for sure.
Another example of what a utter piece of shit Kirk was. The idea that our government is flying flags at half mast and people are being fired for criticizing this blimp headed monstrosity is infuriating.
an airforce escort for his coffin spits in the eye of every service member that's had to toil with Trump's bullshit. absolutely disgusting.
DePape was captured on video, hitting Paul Pelosi in the head repeatedly with a hammer. That's attempted murder. You don't bludgeon someone in the head to teach them a lesson. No Democrat, even in a cashless bail city/state would say someone like that should be freed.
Cashless bail (or even no bail at all) doesn't mean no pre-trial detention for people who really deserve it, so I'm not even sure why you'd bring it up. Of course they wouldn't free him
Too many people think "cashless bail" means letting violent people go free.
Because the left is just awful at messaging, especially compared to the right.
βWhy is the Republican Party, why is the conservative movement to blame for gay, schizophrenic nudists that are hemp jewelry-makers breaking into somebodyβs home, or maybe not breaking into somebodyβs home,β Kirk said in the segment. βWhy are we to blame for that exactly?β βAnd why is he still in jail? Why has he not been bailed out? By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy outβ¦ Bail him out and then go ask him some questions.β
Do you have a longer segment that mentions who he's talking about? I'd like to send this to people, but I don't it'll be as clear to them what he's talking about.
The video shows the bodycam footage of the atttack.
I think the post has been updated with more links
You know what really pisses me off about the paul pelosi attack? Like, really just makes me want to eat some bacon?
I have seen cop training. I know what they do. One of the favorite training methods is a projected screen (to get things to life size), with some fancy tools to track where a fake gun/taser/pepper spray is pointed, and there are two guys running the computer in the background as an officer interacts with the scenario on the screen. The computer guys can change the scenario based on what is said/done/acted. There is a scenario that usually comes up with entry into a house where one person has a crowbar and is kneeling above another person lying supine beneath him.
The cops have a training scenario for this screams internally EXACT FUCKING SCENARIO! And they are ALL taught that the correct answer is to shoot the person with the crowbar if the scenario suddenly shows him lifting the crowbar for another strike.
That dude with the hammer should have been kirked.
What you do in a training scenario and what you do when it actually happens are two different things. Cops likely had no idea who the victim was, so them having inaction because of who it was is very unlikely
What you do in a training scenario and what you do when it actually happens are two different things.
You're absolutely right, and that may be the case. However, it must be admitted that is is much more rare to not follow your training than to carry out what you've trained for when you train for a specific scenario. Plus, this wasn't even a split second thing. The fact that they're at the door talking to the dude for a significant period of time gave them a lot of time to do the whole 'one gun, one taser' cop thing.
Funny that you think cops don't no local vip addresses
I was gonna say....
The subtle difference was that Pelosi's attacker had his hands on the hammer as well as Pelosi and they were both white. It looks like they were unsure as to who the attacker was.
To be kirked be needed to hold the opinion that it's ok for other people to die and it's just the consequence of being in a free society...
Oh. He was trying to kill someone. Yes kirked is the right term.
Wow, he sure was a lot more articulate back in those days when he still had a neck.
How . . . did he miss his head
Did you know that snipers can and do purposely aim for the neck? So that instead of a fast painless death, the targets suffocates on their blood!
The more you know
It's not "suffocate on their blood"; it's that there's a vital artery on the neck. Hitting it means the target is pretty much already dead.

"CHAARRRLAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEE!"
Yea, the target is not going to die from asphyxiation but from blood loss? I guess, I was ambiguous on that? Any sort of lethal bleeding injury is gonna take less than 30 mins
Thanks for this. I didn't know who this turd was, now I have a better idea. REST IN PISS!
LOL, warms the heart to know this disgusting nazi traitor was shot dead. Fuck the republican traitor filth.
Even better he was shot by one of his own. Just a slightly different denomination of hater.
Lol this is the second time a banned user's post got on the front page.
Also emojis is very uncanny somehow especially with the "banned" banner right next to the username. Like who the f uses "π"? Cringe Youtubers? Just use bullet points lol. 350 posts in 5 days, jeez, and I thought I looked like a bot. π€£
- Markdown makes these into bullet points
- Bullet points are more accessible and look better
- They're easier to type
- Just make a hyphen on a new line
πI πAgree π
See? You can't even make them show up on different lines, because that's not they're meant to be used.
Banned to the main page.
What foes this mean?
What foes Precious? It means the person who posted it, is now banned in the community where they posted it. Despite that. The post made my main feed.
If there is a hell, he is in it. The act of violence i condemn, but Charlie Kirk I condemn more and I will say he deserved it.
Yules for we but not for thee.
