In relation to this, thinking about a new community for Political Activism. Calls to action, that kind of thing.

The rules would be super simple:

  1. Purpose is for protest organizing. [Country, City, State]

  2. Absolutely no calls for violent action.

  3. No links to fundraisers. Too rife for fraud and abuse. Stories about fundraisers would be fine, but no GoFundMes, etc.

Think there’s room for PolticalActivism?

    Tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me. The front left tire / left bumper have passed him when he fires the first shot.

    Not to mention he has been trained that he is not to shoot at moving vehicles if the driver is not presenting another potential form of deadly force.

    No matter how you spin it, he broke the law.

      He got hit by the car before he fired his first shot, but again it was a split second decision. No need to spin it as it was clear self defense.

        also a split second decision to fire at least two more shots after that and shoot her in the head. that’s, of course, very reasonable.

          That’s hindsight framing. In real life, shots aren’t individually decided or perfectly timed, and outcomes don’t define intent. Courts evaluate continuity of threat, not slow-motion reconstructions.
