It is unfortunately very true. For about 20 years I moderated a very large forum. We tried so hard to be even handed it was somewhat comical, and then one day I decided to just clean house. Things improved remarkably after that but there were always new people willing to see how far they could bend the rules. It's interesting how you get these new accounts on HN that immediately start lawyering with the rule book in…

> I am quite glad Dan and Tom run this and not you.

You should be.

> I would like to see all the far left cranks who have taken over what was once an entrepreneur / hacker / libertarian's forum banned.

Right...

For anybody that wants to see what I was getting at: check parents comment history. Showdead 'on'.

jacquesm is a longstanding member of this community with serious technical chops. He has fabricated his own fucking windmill , among many other awe-inducing projects. I am an American, and I generally find his political judgements to be spot on, or if I disagree then at the very least enlightening. Frankly given the abjectly moronic siren song narratives too many of my "fellow countrymen" have fallen for, we could us…

Since you're asking for it: yes. But I can see how from your perspective it looks that way.

There was a very similar private security guard case to this a few years ago where the security guard was yelling at someone to leave but then physically blocked their car. When the person moved, the security guard shot them.[] He got roasted in court because he had given conflicting commands, and also because you can't put yourself in jeopardy just so you can shoot someone that's running away (police can but only fl…

@dang I don’t know if this is a bug… but how is this not on the front pages? (I checked 2. 74 upvotes / 34 comments 2h old) This is the type of thing that I sort of rely on HN to inform me about. Then other articles are seemingly killed as dupe which I guess would make sense if the original was visible.

I had to do a search to find this thread. It’s crazy that this isn’t higher up.

Same, I just had to learn it from somewhere else to find it here.

The comment section here is an incredibly disturbing read, as to how many people are trying to justify this on-site extra-judicial execution. Let me start by saying that all this debate itself is meaningless to start with. No police or law and order agency is supposed to execute a civilian under these circumstances in any country. That should instantly be taken as a murder by an official empowered to prevent exactly…

Truth. I’m horrified at this backslide into, or at the very least newly unrestrained application of might makes right.

You're more likely to get scolded here for accusing that person of being a shill/troll than to see them get removed for acting exactly like one. That kind of neutral bias is selectively employed to protect right wing takes from getting attacked by more liberal ones. Although, here's pg with a brief moment of insight: https://xcancel.com/paulg/status/2009219891933630925 > hardcore Trump supporters are indistinguishabl…

Not enough insight to abandon X, and so still lending it and the bots legitimacy.

I'm sorry, does the gated community even let you out? Or women in? It's painfully obvious you've never in your life had to be concerned about your safety in any meaningful way. > Criminals would never get in front of a car. Especially after you legally mandate that by doing it their victim cannot escape by any means anymore. Like, can you even hear yourself?

What is the value of being in front of a car? The value is in opening the door, which is on the side. Sure you could have two jackers, one in front and another on the side but then running over 1 of the 2 (or more) again becomes useless as the side jacker would shoot you. > Or women in? You must be rolling in women. Lucky them. Maybe you can take them out to dinner and run over some car jackers on the way home.

You're ridiculous lol

Oh, that last one speaks volumes about you.

If you watch the slow-mo versions of the video people have posted you can see the ICE agent in question actually fired his weapon when his arm was fully extended away from his body still in front of vehicle as he had moved his body out of the impact zone of the front of her car. That's a terrible way to discharge a weapon even if you think you life is in danger. Seems far more likely it was a panic shot out of fear h…

Far more likely he is a pissed off good-ol-boy redneck and was enforcing contempt of cop.

But you keep living in that delusion you’re so attached to.
