We literally saw it happen. Why does the media pretend that this is a reasonable answer?
Because a handful of billionaires own the media companies that own all the other media companies.
Any solution to this mess will include making sure that there are no more billionaires.
Because they're a bunch of cowards that can't be bothered with the lawsuits they'd have to fight for telling the truth, not to mention the preservation of their precious access to Jabba and his palace.
Bunch of fucking losers.
From what I've seen, the media knows the answer and the story is more how the administration refuses to answer rather than the answer itself.
Because they can say/do whatever they want and we're just going to get distracted by the next disney movie or video game.
Every time she's on camera she knows a soundbite might make its way to the ears of the cult she depends on, so she won't give any soundbites that go against the cult's mentality such as factual evidence. She also know her time is up and will be in a court sooner rather than later
peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.
Kyle Rittenhouse? At least by their own logic.
Most of January 6th traitors too.
I would rephrase that to many, far more just wielding flags, beating officers with doors etc..., but yes there were a lot of armed protestors on january 6th... and the only person that got shot was one who breached so far past where she was supposed to go that there was no rational way to prevent congress and pence etc... from getting attacked.
Also charlottesville, covid 19 armed protests (https://everytownresearch.org/report/covid-armed-protests/), etc... bottom line there's been a hell of a lot of right wing armed protests... and one thing they all have in common... people blatently brandishing guns didn't get shot by cops.

From 5 years ago. These guys are protesting with their guns out.

Surprised she refused to answer - it's not like she's reluctant to flat out lie most of the time.
Because she wants people to know that you can be shot while disarmed. That just being against them means they can kill you.
She knows she's going on trial and knows the facts work against anything she would say if she actually attempted to answer the question because she cannot tell the truth. She's betting on the cult to bail her out, therefore she wont give any soundbites that the cultists would not want to hear, such as facts
Pics and video receipts, bitch
She can’t answer because they did disarm, then murdered him in cold blood,with NINE fucking shots.
They then walked away like it was a Sunday brunch and left someone else to clean their mess.
America is now run by Nazi fucking scum.
Americans are being gaslit repeatedly by people who align with a child rapist than their American citizens.
She doesn't need to answer. She's a traitor.
We have multiple videos from multiple angles proving he never touched his LEGAL firearm and then was disarmed before being executed.
Traitors don't get the benefit of the doubt. Arrest her and try her for treason, along with the executioners.
When are we going to learn that strongly worded letters and protests that turn us into a shooting gallery are not a winning strategy? How many good men and women need to get assassinated before we try something different, anything different?
Have you read any American history? This is a pattern.
I just don't understand why good people are so prone to think letting the bully repeatedly punch them in the face will work. Some people won't stop until they are stopped. Everyone knows this. There's a lot of forms that can take, but blowing fucking whistles clearly isn't it.
You're not wrong but you're also not volunteering to get yourself killed as well as likely hundreds if not thousands right off the bat.
Kent State was much smaller and you still ended up with iirc like 40 deaf or injured.
Open rebellion is a last resort because it's guaranteed to come with a body count.
The 3.5% rule.
Nonviolent resistance has a higher success rate when compared to violent resistance. But non violent resistance does not mean the resistance movement will be bloodless. Authoritarians will respond to both a violent and nonviolent movement with aggression.
Criticism is easy. Why don't you suggest a better strategy so we can criticize it?
I'm looking forward to the day when she has a noose around her throat.
Puppy killing whore
Hey! Don't bring whores into this! They don't deserve to pickup strays cause of this puppy killer.
Hey now, I've known plenty of whores who are fine and lovely people. At least they give something positive to the world. Noem, not so much.
Whore is much too polite of a word to be used in addressing this rotten hag.
It’s clear they did. And she knows it.
We all know they did, we saw it from many angles.
Did you see how they all backed up into an evenly spaced firing squad, and executed him? They TRAINED for that. They've been given order to get in front of a blocked car, and if it moves, kill the driver. That's why he walked all the way around the car that day, carefully documenting it.
They were also ordered that if anyone is spotted with a gun, kill him immediately, and we see how they've been trained to do that.
Both of those deaths were first-degree murder, and it's likely that SHE gave those orders, likely passed down from Stephen "PeeWee" Himmler Miller. She knows this isn't going the way they thought it would - that people would be intimidated and stop protesting, and the exact opposite has happened. Americans don't take well to literal DEATH SQUADS.
Now she knows that she's likely in the hot seat for a life sentence in prison, possibly even the death penalty, and she's not alone. There is a lot rising on them winning this Civil War, and they have the high ground, so we can expect them to get much worse, not better.
I'm waiting for the Black Panthers to show up open carrying assault weapons. That will be an interesting day.
In case it's not clear republicans are not good people and should be shown nothing but scorn.
You can substitute "Republicans" for "Fascists". They're interchangeable now.
She, like her boss, is incapable of speaking the truth. Pretty sure she would burst into flame if she did.
She knows they fucked up. She just can't admit they fucked up, without also having to take responsibility for what they did.
She's afraid to continue lying. Odd.
I hope those people go in front of the court to be put in prison if all this ends.
No way she can stay now. It's total BS she'll get a pardon. I wish The Punisher was a real dude. We could certainly do with some vigilante justice. Too much greed and psychopathy.
Hope to see Krusty Gnome hanging around at the Hauge sooner rather than later
