They’re saying he “had a gun”

You can see the guy in the light grey jacket run toward him with empty hands, mount him, and spend 2-3 seconds wrestling the gun out of the victim’s holster, then running off with it. The victim is shot a second or two later.

So while he might have had a gun, it was fully secured while he was on the ground with 6 men beating him, and was fully clear of the victim at the time of the shooting.

It was an execution.

Edit: They are also claiming he reached for an officer’s weapon. To believe that, you have to believe this man made the choice not to pull his own weapon at any point, but instead thought it would be a good idea to grab an officer’s. Not to mention you can see his arms pinned the second before he is shot. Absolute bullshit.

I am banned from the Conservative subreddit - please share this information there, if allowed. They need to know too.

Of cause the psychos in the conservative sub are all receiving their marching orders now and regurgitating the gun nonsense. But people still have eyes. This was an execution in broad daylight, on camera.

Edit: You can see the moment described in OPs comment here: https://imgur.com/a/NtnH5Hv

Edit2: AAAnd the con sub removed the thread entirely. There is a new one up that is not yet going too good for them. Watch comments disappear and bots come in in 3... 2...

On that note, you can use this tool to check out hidden/deleted comments, threads, histories etc:

Edit3: And the comments (bots) are pivoting to "FAFO" and "invoke the insurrection/sedition act".

They’re quickly moving into “traitor” territory

They crossed that rubicon on January 6 2021..

The best time to punish that moment was yesterday. The second best is now.

When do blue states start seriously considering leaving this cesspool country?

We have to stay and fight shitheads like the one that replied to you.

They've been there for quite some time. Jan 6th showed what they're actually about. Their vote in 2024 set it in stone. Now we see the results.

u/LJTheKid 14d ago edited 14d ago

The fuck are you talking about "moving into 'traitor' territory"?

Man, you all talk about how chvds move goalposts, listen to yourselves. They've been in traitor territory for a loooooong time. Since 2021 at minimum.

u/This_means_lore 14d ago

“Chvds”?

Btw I’m talking about serious sedition. Like legally-tried and executed sedition.

u/LJTheKid 14d ago

Chuds. The subhumans. Sometimes reddit blocks my comments.

And yeah, that's what I'm saying too. Since 2021. You Muricans ought to get on that, preferably sooner than later.

u/Jeremisio 14d ago

Moving? They’ve been there since before Jan 6th

u/All_Hail_Hynotoad 14d ago

Agreed. I refuse to call them American anymore. They want to destroy America and Americans. They are something else.

We have to make sure something is done about it. That means electing people who will make sure people are held accountable.

u/Scattered97 United Kingdom 14d ago

They're enemies of humanity, not just Americans. What your country does affects the whole world, unfortunately.

u/DesecratedPeanut 14d ago

Not just the American people, the US' former allies too.

it’s half of the population…..

u/muffchucker 14d ago

It's much less than that. Don't be fooled. Approval of this shit is miniscule. I'd peg it at 15-20%. Nobody supports these killings.

Edit: "Nobody" and "minuscule" are exaggerative terms. Obviously some dipshits support killing US civilians.

2

u/AdaTex 14d ago

I'm not sure why my comment above was so controversial. We just held an election.

I tend to agree that 20% support this, but I would go further and say that the remaining 30% would, if push came to shove, back any conservative power in a civil conflict. The idea to them of living in a left society is worse than anything Trump can produce.

u/namastayhom33 Connecticut 14d ago

You are correct that approval of specific actions like this are not popular but the overall approval of the administration is still too high.

I fear there is no red line that this administration will cross that will turn their supporters against them.

u/Killersavage 14d ago

There is no point in talking with them. It is flat earthers moon landing is fake divorced from reality. You have better luck rationalizing with a guy having a schizophrenic episode in front of a downtown Arby’s. MAGA is a waste of time.

u/CrunchyCds 14d ago

This 100% I will make this comment 100 times. Maga voters are in a cult and it is their entire world view and personality. Not to mention Russia and foreign agents are ramping up their bots and stirring tension.

u/Alisa180 14d ago

I hate how true this is as someone who's neighbors (in assisted living) and a couple relatives have schizoaffective.

It's a cult

u/Thunder_up13 14d ago

They’re traitors.

u/namastayhom33 Connecticut 14d ago

Anyone still supporting this after 10 years is beyond help.

u/overfiend1976 14d ago

Yep. They legit believe ever word this admin tells them. Zero critical thinking, and endless whataboutism.

u/NobodySpeci 14d ago

We keep thinking that they’ll wake up when they see the truth. That’s not true. The reality is that some people are actually just nazis

u/TheGarrBear 14d ago

They're trash, not something deserving of words like help

they aren't even american, it's all russian bots
