SirDerpy , in 'Disturbing' recordings from inside child-predator sting shows police, MAGA operatives ignoring laws

NewsChannel 5 Investigates discovered hours and hours of videos where Shawn Taylor has appeared on podcasts associated with the widely discredited QAnon conspiracy theories.

Source: link in the OP article to part one of an eight part series.

Editorial: A local news station investigated, uncovered evidence, and appear to be interviewing those involved about what they find analyzing the evidence, then reporting in a series of lengthy articles full of direct quotes. True journalism lives.

Maggoty ,

Are they CC’ing the DOJ? please tell me they are.

SirDerpy , (edited )

Why would you want dissemination of truth in the hands of the department of “order over justice”? They’ve been fucking us for decades just like the other two branches of governance. These journalist are risking their lives for truth. I trust them much more than any politician.

Maggoty ,

That’s why it’s a CC, not just letting them sit on the information themselves. If we know they have the information, and they know we know, then pressure to conduct a criminal investigation vastly increases.

SirDerpy ,

You’ve the wrong agency responsible for investigation, I think.

I’m talking about Truth and Justice the principles. I trust these journalists to serve us more effectively than any government agency despite their lack of authority.

Maggoty ,

So who would you suggest the journalists send the results of their investigation to?

SirDerpy ,

We the People, just as they’ve been doing. No one else gives a fuck about our best interests. Why ask for some assholes to get involved. We’d do just fine taking care of this one on our own.

Maggoty ,

So what then? You just want to read about it and be mad? Nothing else? No arrests, no trials, no accountability?

SirDerpy ,

Arrests and trials rarely lead to accountability, particularly for law enforcement. If you want order then call the government. If you want justice then pick up your rifle. No agency gives a fuck about us.

Maggoty ,

Okay cool. I’ll be over here and you can stand way over there.

SirDerpy ,

You’ll sing a different song when I’m reinforcing the picket line that matters. It’s all good with neolibs until someone’s willing to do something meaningful.

Maggoty ,

If your something meaningful is political violence then no thank you. I’ve seen that, it’s nothing but tortured shop keepers and dead school children. No thank you.

SirDerpy ,

Reinforcing a strike’s picket line is “political violence”?

You need history. Lots of history.

You need guns. Not idiots with guns like the cult. Wise and disciplined people of principle who agree they’d rather not use them. We don’t even need to fire a round. Call the bluff: “Kill us, then.”

They won’t. The people will come when we call. Or, it’ll end like Les Mis. Either way it’ll be done with dignity.

Maggoty ,

There was nothing dignified about Les mis. Didn’t you get that message? Did you watch the whole thing? The kids dying for nothing? Or did you stop at the marching song?

You don’t need a rifle on the picket line for a strike. This isn’t the 1800’s.

For fuck’s sake those of us who have seen what you’re calling for are trying to tell you it will not end the way you think it does. It will however obliterate the soul of the country and cause needless death and suffering. Just because you couldn’t put your ego away for two fucking seconds and talk to each other.

SirDerpy ,

Watch? I read it.

For nothing? Ask the French.

Don’t need guns? Never been beaten by a cop, huh?

Maggoty ,

Then you did miss the point entirely. And the French got mass murder, 26 years of war, and then the return of the Ancien Regime. To be clear they did not just guillotine nobles or rich people. They were killing any dissidents so fast they had to chain them to barges and sink the barges, every day. It’s not called the Reign of Terror because they were upstanding and moral. They killed political rivals inside the revolution at a rate that makes Stalin blush.

And cops, really? Like I said. Stand over there. Way over there.

SirDerpy , (edited )

I hope the threat of proletariat violence prevails as it usually does in history. Revolution is always a bloody mess.

I didn’t miss the point. I choose non-violent change over a bloody mess. Where we seem to differ is that, as a last resort, I choose a bloody mess over the status quo.

The system has had centuries to right its wrongs. Most of us have no hope of a life of dignity. We’re already dead. We’ll set the timetable for our freedom. Or, we won’t. Things will go on as they are. And, the next generation will shoot their shot.

I choose to believe now is our time.

And yes, beaten by a cop. Happens all the time. Some of them even make the news.

his “top 5” is actually just 3. The other 2 marked ‘compromised’ and ‘stalled’. lmfao Blue MAGA Only-Bidens crack me up.

I’m not sure I’ve read a single political post by facebones that has ever been actually thoughtful. It’s also just “muh both sides!”

Lmao You think his top 5 being only 3 real things he’s done is helping your point? That’s crazy.

There’s more to the list, sure. But they could name 3 that were significant enough? Wild.

    PepperoniNipple , in Jack Black axes tour over bandmate's Trump comment

    Batman was a massive imbecile when he said he doesn’t kill bad people because “then the amount of murderers would stay the same.”

    Absolute dogshit, dogwater mixed with diarrhea fucking argument. Because of people who think like that with pride, a lot of poor innocent people are dying every day and I get to see it first-hand; middle and upper-class people do not, and they never will because they don’t live in the streets as much as we do

    ArcaneSlime ,

    That always got under my skin a bit too. Like, I get it, due process and all, but if you catch a guy about to bomb the city with some poison gas or something just go ahead and take him out while we can still legally call it self defense.

    And on that note: no guns? Well excuse me Bruce but some of us don’t have infinite wealth from our dead parents to go gallivanting around the east training with this and that obscure ancient ninja order, some of us are too disabled even if we were financially capable. You telling me that I should just let some henchman dressed like a clown kill me because I’m not rich and able bodied?! I think he just wants job security tbh, the batty bitch.

    That said? Favorite comics the big two release, loved TAS, loved Beyond, not big on superheroes but I like him because he’s ostensibly human, I like the detective nature to some of the stories, yadda yadda. Not my favorite super hero though, of course that would be The Flaming Carrot. Ut!

    Slavery, Texas Observer. Call it slavery. It may be legal, but it’s still slavery.

    Imagine how much more impact the headline would have been if it instead read: Texas’ Plantation Prisons: Inside a 200-Year History of Slavery Shrouded in Secrecy

    Because even “forced labor” doesn’t make it sound as bad as it actually is. Only one word does.

    Little bit of hunting experience here. Let’s say I’m hunting a deer.

    If I miss no big deal. The problems begin when the shot hits the deer but doesn’t kill it. Their adrenaline sours the meat. And, one needs to chase it down to humanely kill it. No matter how hard I try I’ll eventually miss and maim a deer.

    I do two things preventatively: First, I don’t take a shots without good chance of a one shot kill. Second, I’m always prepared ASAP to send the second round, and a third. My accuracy drops severely for the fourth in practice. So, I don’t shoot a fourth outside of practice.

    This shooter couldn’t close the range for a better shot. He also wasn’t prepared for a miss. The second round should be down range almost immediately, even on a bolt action and especially on a wisely chosen bolt action. He was a smidgeon of humility away from a greatly increased chance of success.

    And, one needs to chase it down to humanely kill it.

    I hate to be the one to point this out buuut there’s an even more humane thing you could do. Y’know. Just saying.

    tiefling ,

    If it’s anything like where I grew up, the deer population is massive and actually benefits from controlled culling. Also venison is delicious, and I know some hunters will literally give the extra meat away since a single deer has a lot of it, oftentimes to food pantries.

    Obligatory disclaimer: I’m leftist as fuck and actually prefer a low meat diet. But deer hunting does have benefits.

    SirDerpy ,

    Exactly. They feed on the local crops and we can’t magically make wolves and coyotes appear. There’s many negative impacts of not hunting, including many car accidents. And, it’s meat raised on crops stolen from mega-corporations that are artificially inflating the cost of food.

    Once we take back the means of production and begin to heal the environmental cause of too much deer, I’ll stop hunting and eating them. Fair?

    queermunist , (edited )
    @queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

    Deer are out of control because we hunted all the predators because meat farms needed to protect their product.

    You’ve slotted yourself into the place of natural predators, but that does not actually fix anything!

    FireTower , (edited )
    @FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

    I think you’re underplaying the historical significance of wool and how agricultural lands for growing plants also played a massive role in destroying the habitat of those predators (toss in timber in there too).

    AmbiguousProps ,

    Yes and now it’s on the citizens to take the place of those missing natural predators - the meat farms sure aren’t going to do it, especially by your logic.

    You kind of just talked yourself into a circle.

    rayyy ,

    They actually hire professionals to shoot deer in some urban areas in Pennsylvania where they cause problems. Farmers hire professionals because of the massive crop damage they do. Hunters are free deer harvesters, in fact they pay to hunt them.

    Beats industrial farming

    queermunist ,
    @queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

    When you mow your grass does it try to run away because it’s scared of dying?

    FireTower ,
    @FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

    Let me clarify because apparently it wasn’t obvious. My stance is that industrial raised livestock often experience poor quality living conditions. Hunting offers a death far less insufferable than most deer would see otherwise, and a regulated harvest is critical in areas that deer’s natural predators have been extirpated like much of the populated US. Without this populations would bloom past the carrying capacity of the ecosystem leading to disease, famine, and increased death on both parties in auto accidents.

    The people eating venison are swapping it in for a steak not a salad. People make jokes about vegans because of individuals who don’t acknowledge that animal welfare isn’t a binary matter but one on a spectrum. Painting it as a binary simply dissuades non vegans from taking any incremental step to increasing their welfare.
