I'll go out on a limb to add that there are other elements that discourage public intervention in these types of situations.

More often than not, the police will urge the public not to get involved. And even if they did, could there be a chance that they could go to jail or get sued? I'm not suggesting that people don't help or get involved, but there are just too many risks people don't want to take given the outcomes of peoples good intentions.

There is nothing wrong with your perspective.

There is a problem with supafamous' commenting that: "I hope he died and when Trump dies we should celebrate it the same way Iraqis celebrated the death of Saddam."

That is an example of a proselytizer who engages in pretty hostile and extremist views. He has a lack of self-awareness. No rational/sane person would write something like that. It is a disgusting comment, full stop.

Sure the hat example wasn't great I wasn't trying to imply it as a left issue, more of an Us vs Them mentality that's been brewing between people these days. It's concerning with the direction this world is heading and I can only see it getting worse with how everyone treats eachother.

A start would be holding social media companies accountable for the algorithms it promotes. It’s rage bait for everyone because it garners clicks and I would say it’s easy to determine it’s the single largest factor in the division in the west.

I agree.

Also, freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from accountability. Social media companies profit from outrage and division because that’s what their algorithms push. At some point there have to be limits on how far they can exploit that under the banner of free speech because otherwise the cycle of rage bait keeps fuelling itself. The end result is people taking out their anger in real life.

I agree, I would help by tending to the victim but not trying to contain or restrain the perpetrator of random violence. I read stories of a few people holding a perpetrator till the police come ... brave. I mean guy could have a knife, gun, etc. But the victim, if there is anything that can be done, call 911, be with person until paramedics police come, that's human decency, I think.

In other news. Last year China bought 12 billion in Soy beans from the US. This year zero. After trumps first tariff war China diversified. They spend a ton of money in Brazil and Africa. Now American farmers are fkd. The US produces 40% more produce than it needs.

could be the same reason they arent buying our crops, EV tariffs.

Lost in the noise of America's continued descent into chaos and facism was the death of James Dobson a few weeks ago - a Christian Evangelical who advocated that parents should beat their children into submission. He sold VHS videos of an interview he had with Ted Bundy where Bundy blamed porn for his problems for $25. He condemned homosexuality and advocated for conversion therapies that included starvation, shackling, beatings and exorcisms.

He destroyed tens of thousands of families through his work.

Minor stroke or stroking a minor?

Looks Like Canadians celebrating Kirks death will be banned from the US. Great use of tax payer dollars.

Foreign nationals wishing death to American citizens tend to be rejected at the border, bro.

Cheers,

I’m reporting you for wishing death to people with BA’s

ive had this guy on my ignore list for a bit now, things are better this way lol.

So people who think canada should become the 51st state should be banned from entering Canada? Because becoming the 51st state would be the death of Canada.

trump asked all the Koreans who where arrested at the battery plant to stay. Only one said yes Even trump knows it was a big fuck up.

CHina got caught off guard from 1st time Trump was president. So glad they diversified and now ... no need to depend on US. bravo Trump, you're done.

pretty crazy... can't comment what happened as behind the doors but regardless... the entire building must all of a sudden come to a halt.

What happened to the first amendment and free speech? Last I checked celebrating someone’s assassination, while very offensive, is still protected speech.

It’ll be interesting to see if anyone actually gets charged because it would almost certainly end up before the Supreme Court.

Any day now

(and if any MAGA wannabe or troll tries to do the "where is your compassion" when this fuckface finally goes to hell, you can fuck off with that)

But Trump is a husband (3 times!) and a father! Just like Osama Bin Laden!

Oh I'm sorry, he must have had his face at half mast instead.
