    I made a mistake and it done be fixed.

    But I will say... "Who the fuck cares what Mark Levin says?"

    A lot of people. His book was the #1 best seller 10 weeks in a row, and a lot of conservatives revere him as this generation's new anti-marxism messiah.

    Nobody with brain cells cares what he has to say... but a lot of people do care what he has to say.

    Of course, for all of the conservatives claiming that liberals would have double standards if the story were flipped...

    Mother of three fires one shot and injures nobody to scare off abusive ex-husband. Gets 20 years in prison.

    I'm not big on right-wing entities making him out to be a big hero. I just know he's famous even without them. People were literally fired for giving to his legal defense. The NAACP and NYT columnists said it was worse than Emmet Till and compared his clearing to racists murdering civil rights activists in the 60s. The lionizing after the fact is just icing on the cake, if you ask me.

    Because it's a tired script. We could all narrate this from memory.

    Not sure if this belongs in this thread but I'm pretty fucking furious right now. The incident in Waukesha, WI is practically in my backyard. I regularly eat lunch at restaurants along the parade route. There are a shit ton of right-wing nutjob pieces of shit claiming this is retaliation for Rittenhouse despite we know literally nothing and are scraping bodies off the pavement still.

    To answer this question though, no way in hell there would be a Christmas parade after Thanksgiving in Wisconsin. The cold and the snow can get brutal here.

    Like, this is fucking horrible, but why is this the thread for it? This thread's about police reform and the protests around it. As near as I can tell, there isn't even a hint as to a motive on the attacker, here, from what I can see. Sure, it's mostly been the Rittenhouse thread for hundreds of pages, but that's because of the trial and that his shooting was at a protest on this precise topic, making it at least somewhat relevant.

    Like totally reprehensible clockwork.

    Those far right talking points aren't going to scream themselves, are they?

    Because according to the right-wing idiots on twitter, the hot take is that this is revenge of the Rittenhouse trial.

    Nobody knows yet what this is about so anyone making any assumptions including that "hot take" is an idiot

    Then it doesn't belong in this thread, does it? There's literally no other link to this thread's subject matter here except for that garbage "hot take".

    Except for the fact that it was you that made that connection. As far as I'm aware there's nothing on the article even implying it has anything to do with whatever is going on in your head. Also, it wasn't me that brought it up to begin with. So calm down and give it a rest.

    It has nothing to do with this thread, except for the hot take that was mentioned before you posted the link. The link was entirely unnecessary.

    Please post constructively.

    This is a thread about police abuses and the protests about those police abuses.

    Why would an attack on a parade be relevant to this thread unless you were trying to imply some connection?
