Look we all proved Mamdani isn't Spider-man because he can't be in two cities at once. But please guys, we need to remember the hyphen when we're talking about him.
It's just not good journalism if you don't hyphenate it

All these cunts talk about morals and values and where they learned them, guess what. I learned to be a decent person from Spider-Man. As a kid. I'm betting that guy did too. Literally taught to help others because you can and especially when no one else will. Mr Rogers helped with that too. Spider-Man is a beter role model than any religious or political figure.
GravyEducation
Sounds fuckin stupid but Peter Parker was my role model growing up. I didn't have any. Started pirating ASM comics. None of those Nazi fucks deserve to die but a few punches and a web time out and then off to jail? Yeah. We don't kill people we're better than that
prosper020
I am torn between “we don’t kill people” and “nazis aren’t people.”
BenderRodriguz1010
Its not stupid. It's exactly what I mean lol. Spider-Man taught a lot of us more than just power and responsibility. Help the neighbors. Hold doors, speak up, be a good person. Logan taught me it's ok to be both scary looking and soft. Frank taught me......what not to do? Comics taught better lessons than any Bible ive ever read, and I have. I mention religion because look at those giant crosses.

People need to stop coming to our city to fuck around and start shit. Im sick of it. I dont care what your politics are; protest if you want, get your message out there and do so as loudly and as vigorously as you wish but under no circumstances should we as Minnesotans and Minneapolis residents put up with asshats who want to cause chaos and destroy our property or hurt people while breaking our laws just because mommy and daddy didnt hug them enough. Fuck that shit, and those people....

For the record, if they catch the person that they think is Spider-man, he wasn't even there. He was here yesterday, helping me with my school capstone project.

Remind me why the fuck the cops are protecting these assbags? Even if they had the paperwork to protest there, they are still causing a public disturbance, and the outright racism on the sign should immediately invalidate anything they have to say or protest.
PikpikCeleriac
They're doing it because the police as an entity are broken, corrupt, and evil.

I also want to know. I assume they are with the supremacists but how is it not illegal to impersonate an agent
calenti
And things like "legal", "rule", etc are verbs, not nouns. Write down all the crap you want but if no one enforces it, might as well not even exist.
shawnmilo
I'm guessing the word "Agent" is non-specific, so completely legal. They couldn't have 'Police' or 'FBI' or anything, but WTF is "agent"? Maybe they're a travel agent. If anything, that's probably a clear sign saying "I'm unofficial and have zero authority."
Reminds me of the show Castle, when Nathan Fillion comes out with a vest with WRITER across. 😎
nalmeth
Good guess. Probably wants people to not think twice and that he's associated with the police, so he's less likely to get attacked.
Haha. Yeah. Except Castle's was to make sure he wasn't mistaken for police.
fractalsphere
And of course the cops are PROTECTING THE WHITE SUPREMACISTS instead of pepper spraying them.
MauroMolinero
duh they are family.
TheRallyStache
Cops are the violent enforcement arm of a state built on white supremacy, of course they'll be protecting them.
TrumpRapesAndEatsChildren0002
Said it before, gonna say it again: Watch closely, those are all wannabe mall cops, not the 'real deal'. Cops are in blue uniform and basically separating people here. Little pepperspraying meatball is an 'Agent', the other 'Security', and another 'Agent' on the right (where else).
Soufange
Oh, don't worry. That gravy seal there is pepperspraying everybody like they're corn chips and he's craving his 6th breakfast. Makes sense the cops were fed up with their shit and arrested every one of them in the end. Friendly fire will not be tolerated.
flipj
That Venn diagram is a circle.
DukeDarkwood
Nah, it's more a subset thing - the one circle is INSIDE the other. All the cops ARE white supremacists. But there are a lot of white supremacists who aren't cops. In fact, I think I have something for this. I didn't feel the need to label it because the context at the time implied it, but white is the white supremacists, blue is the cops.
flipj
Neat visualisation.
DukeDarkwood
Thanks. I made it on the spot in whatever post prompted me to. In Paint, as if that doesn't show through in the "quality". I was particularly proud of the fact that the color choices were the easiest thing in the world.
MikeRInternetTraveler
Including multiple black cops. Protecting a man holding a “hates n******s” sign. A man that wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire.
jackal696
Yep truly the most American thing on the het today
AsAHistorian
I don't actually have a problem with cops protecting someone who's saying repugnant shit. They *should* do that. I just wish they'd equally protect people suggesting that we make things better, instead of beating and shooting and jailing them.
DukeDarkwood
Hate speech is very specifically excluded from 1A protection. They can protect any other repugnant talk they want, but they should be charging that person with a hate crime.
That being said, the police are showing, by their actions, where their loyalties lie.
AsAHistorian
"Hate speech" is not a legal term under US law; legally speaking, it doesn't exist, and is absolutely covered by the first amendment.
eetsumkaus
can they use it to support a hate crime charge though?
eetsumkaus
hate crime is a charge levied on top of an existing charge in order to punish hate-motivated crime harder. The problem is that just *saying* shit isn't illegal, so you can't layer a hate crime charge on top of that.
jtwood
“We are protecting their right to free speech”
Or some bs like that

jtwood
It only sounds crazy because of the words we use and their most common associations. It's more appropriate to say that a tolerant society must be defended from movements that would destroy it. Anyone against tolerance must not be allowed to overcome a tolerant society.
When we allow the discourse to use the word "intolerant", we cede control of the narrative by allowing people to focus on the seeming contradiction in the words themselves.
wazeewa
They DO have freedom of speech. What they don't have is a freedom from consequences. If you want to act like a racist fuckwad, then expect Spider-man to get in your face and give you a close-fisted high-five to the bile-spewer you call a mouth.
DukeDarkwood
Hate speech isn't protected. It's very specifically excluded; two of the rulings that classified 1A exceptions were "incitement" and "fighting words". Hate speech is an incitement to violence. I cannot think of a single case where it is not.
jtwood
I call it bs not because it’s not real for them. It’s bs because the cops don’t always defend everyone’s free speech this aggressively.
jt42
Heck, sports victories get way farther out of hand.
wazeewa
Oh absolutely. All I was saying was that they do have the freedom. How it gets applied and defended is DEFINITELY not equal. They expect to be able to shout whatever hateful bullshit they want but when people push back they are the first to cry oppression. It's absolutely disgusting.
jtwood

Takes some fucking balls to pounce a truck full of white supremacists

Nah they're mostly just a bunch of bird-chested cowards who haven't seen a vagina since they were born. But yeah, they can get dangerous when they congeal into groups. Zionists are a brand of fascist that are many, many orders of magnitude more dangerous than the typical modern Nazi.

Nah just a little courage the balls are optional lol.

Front line in a crowd control detail I would hope not, (No way to be sure of your target or be sure of maintaining control of your weapon if you're over-run).
