Man, something about the Vans is really off-putting. Like, this is probably a dude who bought Jnco Jeans at PacSun at the mall on the weekend, and now this? What happened to you Brad?
But the unarmed pastor was coming right at them, they were completely untrained to deal with this situation reasonably. All the fake camo, and webbing, helmets and face masks can only offer them so much protection for giant babies.
I seen a video of him preaching to ice or soliders or w/e on a rooftop at a protest as they shot pepper balls down on him. He may be the first preacher man I've ever seen actively truly doing the work of god's words. Not that they don't exist, just yano the ones I seen
You guys must be on a whole different level of regarded. You can literally tell that guy is jacked lmao... he's an operator and you are an internet fat.
And due to trumps no "anti-Christian" order equating it to terrorism, he's going to arrest all of ICE for not only going against Christian values, but attacking one of Christ's messenger's, right? /s
I'm curious what the legality is of taking lethal force against them for this? If they refuse to identify themselves and assault you, you can defend yourself lethally right? Much like if I were to walk up to someone and do it they could defend themselves.
Yes, I'm aware that's what Donald wants but he's going to do it anyway so we may as well defend ourselves.
"Intimidation" like any other hick and backwater fuck that walks into a mcdonalds strapped with an ar-15 in a town of 5k ppl. They wanna make sure no ruckus comes their way bc how bad ass they think they look. Coincidently they jump to their nightstand fire arm when their grindr hookup farts in their sleep
Im in Chicago for work. I can verify that there is no war zone, no fires, not even smoke. 200mi of driving all around town and I've seen nothing dangerous.
take the word republican and replace it with Jew and you sound like a Nazi. think about that when you incorrectly call republicans fascist while thinking and behaving like a fascist.
refusing to see truth is no excuse for ignorance. mob mentality is group stupidity. you have no real tangible evidence for why republicans should be labeled nazis. any argument you could make would be refuted because republicans are not Nazis. there is one group of people in the united states acting like fascists, its the radicalized far left movement of the democratic party. behaving like the brownshirts that were the precursor of the nazi party. behavior that is splitting their own party
This is the same pastor they shot in the head with whatever they were using for "crowd control" right? I saw the video. Ice agents were on a roof top, not in any danger, and they shot him for scolding them. Pathetic
Presbyterians and Lutherans' level of 'wokeness' comes down to the denomination. Some variants are very conservative. Methodists are VERY liberal across the board however.
As far as I know the Old-Catholics (NOT the roman-catholics) are also very christ-like: Female priests, priests may marry, very pro LGBTQ+, live Everyone, Empathy for all, etc.
I'm convinced these guys aren't actually military or police or ICE but rather paramilitary contractors and that's why they cover their faces. They were told to raid the nearest army surplus store for gear but this idiot forgot shoes.
those pants are good, so you cannot see when they shit themself out of fear from the pastor...they HAD to do it, what if that one guy would have attacked them? /s
Little too late for that. Some emergency order will be used to suspend the constitution and then there will be no election. Or they’ll take away term limits, or they’ll make the Democratic Party illegal, or all of the above. You’re never seeing an election again my dude.
TBF the lawsuits have actually worked at keeping the national guard out of portland, closing alligator alcatraz, etc. It's not a permanent solution but it does slow them down a lot.
How about paralyzing mass protests in every major city? Disruption on a sustained, comprehensive scale that interferes with business-as-usual? How about discouraging ICE raids by casually hanging out in Latino neighborhoods while very visibly flexing your second amendment rights?
Some Christians are actually quite alright and should be recognized as allies in this mess. It would be dumb to judge and alienate them. Don't be like the fascists, judge people by their actions, not your assumptions.
Ok I will. Their actions are fucking little boys and spending thousands of dollars each day to cover that shit up. I judge them to be pedos. See how that works?
Well it's not about christianity, it's about people. Pedophiles aren't a problem in the Christian Danish church, so it's easier for me to distinguish. There are plenty of christians taking a stand against MAGA, don't discourage their bravery. (Btw. i'm an atheist, not christian)
Oh I don't. It's very brave to be that hypocritical. But I'm also not naive enough to give anyone that benefit of the doubt anymore. People have long since lost that right.
Just because some people in the US propagate a minority of child molesters inside the church ranks, doesn't mean there's anything inherently wrong with being a christian. In my country, there is a lot of respect for our priests, even though many of us are not religious. Our church has very little political power, the Christian parties died out like 15 years ago.
Even in the US, most Christians are just regular people. Yes, they are close to a dangerous cult of extremists, but that's exactly why we need to recognize the regular, sane people, who might not be happy about MAGA either. They can do a lot of damage to coming generations of extremists by leading them away from this madness. We need to work with them, not against them.

From everything I've heard, Presbyterians and Episcopalians are the most Christ-like AND the most open-minded of all Christian sects.
Fred Rogers was, himself, a Presbyterian minister (although never advertised it; he let his ideals stand on their own).
