That sentence was an analogy.

I see this story about, and people comment how this experience should give her more sympathy for women having abortions, and that seems to me like saying if a woman loses her newborn to illness it should make her more sympathetic to infanticide. I'm quite certain, if forced to think the...

I wouldn't suggest it was an inevitable result of that, in as much as I think this is an equally likely end state if there were no nuclear deal, but I would not be terribly surprised to learn that this was the plan intended with that nuclear deal. "Hey, we'll support you (or at least stop...

It does not look like he decided to ride the horse over him. One horse kicked when a firework exploded and the rider pulled back on the reigns. The other horse moved forward as the fire flared up behind and the rider pulls on the reigns and moves further away. If you watch the riders, they don't...

No, it isn't. Proportionality is an incredibly stupid concept that people waste their time on. "Proportionality" and "escalation" are not virtue and vice. If you're in the right, it doesn't matter if it's disproportionate. If you're in the wrong, it doesn't matter if it's less. One person being...

Correct, The Rogue Wolf said that part. That was a response to him. No, I've stated your belief in his guilt as fact. I'm not saying he's absolutely guilty, I'm saying you absolutely believe he is, just like everyone else, and you'd be stupid not to. I'm not bothering to go back and count how...

It is, in the sense that of course it isn't, there are genuinely different standards, legal, moral, and practical, between us considering the political implications of he-said/she-saids with hindsight vs the police capturing a suspect in the moment whom they have really straightforward probable...

Everyone who watched that series of events, literally everyone, absolutely including you, understands what happened there. Nobody in the entire world would watch a man in a riot zone wearing a gas mask run away from the source of a fire trap aimed at the police and wonder if he was maybe a...

Pretty sure you're just not comfortable risking your worldview crumbling to pieces... Silvanus, you claimed he did nothing to deserve detainment and then selectively chose a timestamp that didn't show what happened before he was detained. You claimed he was beaten in a video that shows him...

It was a rhetorical device, neither half were actual quotes.

Still me. You are lying. You believe he (and the other two people running) were there to riot and started that fire.

There aren't nazis here, and you've never conveyed facts to anyone. You gonna respond to Bedinsis's post to you? Maybe let him know that the thing that was removed from the man's head was a respirator mask, the sort of thing used for painting, cleaning out dangerous molds, or protecting...

Let's consider your assumptions: This person just happened to be nearby when people were attacking the police, it's coincidence that he ran away from the area the fire appeared just after it appeared. Then the police captured him for no reason at all. Then they tried to trample him with horses...

Take note: the people arguing with me are lying about events and defending literally incendiary attacks.

If you went to a farm and tried to light horses on fire, you could get trampled to death there too. It's not about the police at that point at all. Frankly, if you're lighting puddles of gas on fire, you might die doing it. It's not a matter of deservedness if you accidentally kill yourself in...
