Teaching your kids to stand up for themselves and others is not the problem, these insane thugs are the problem. They’ve been fed a bunch of lies and turned into rabid dogs, doing exactly what the orange turd wants.

That's not tear gas. They pepper sprayed that girl. Right in the face. A child.
What makes you say that?
Her face and clothes look like they are stained orange
Ooh I thought it was just wet, but I can definitely see where you are coming from. While I don't know the different feeling between the two, directly spraying someone feels so much worse
I couldn't speak on the relative feeling of either irritant myself, but that wasn't my point.
Tear gas is a ranged weapon and has a wide area of effect. A kid getting caught up in that can be somewhat excusable depending on the circumstances. A kid may have been out of sight when the canister is deployed or on the peripheral of the target area. The one firing the cannister may have missed their target or someone may have deflected/redirected or picked up and thrown the cannister elsewhere where the kid was in the area of effect. The wind may have blown it unexpectedly, changing the area of effect towards a child. That is why I am making a distinction here. Tear gassing a child can be a mistake.
Pepper spray is a directed weapon with a short range and narrow spray zone. If a kid's face and shirt is stained from it, someone pointed their pepper spray bottle directly at her and pulled the trigger. This is not a mistake. That is someone targetting and attacking a child with a serious skin, eye and lung irritant, one that can have serious, even fatal, medical reactions. That is inexcusable.
This is America
Good to always keep communicating atrocities like this, but not providing context that this is months old means we need to assume that OP is a clickbait ahole trying to upset folks for online engagement.
Not good, OP. This isn't reddit, edit the title with the original date of incident.
Please keep your children away from state sponsored thugs
Please keep your state sponsored thugs away from children
Why?
Why are there thugs in the first place?
The pedo in chief couldn't deploy the army in cities so he turned ICE into a paramillitary force instead
Americans voted -. They wanted thugs.
That's not how it works.
It's very debatable that Trump actually won fairly.
Everything is debatable now. Visit the American heartland though and you'll realize that victory for racist thugs is certainly a real possibility. Even in the light of absolute objective failure and complete abject senility 40-46% of the country approve of Trump's leadership. It's insane. Don't give Americans the benefit of the doubt on this one.
I don't need to travel to the "Heart Land" to see that. I live in a blue state and I see enough of it. That doesn't change the fact the Trump gave credit to Musk for winning the election and Republicans have a long history of cheating to win elections. The real shame of this country is the populations unwillingness to start burning things down like the French are.
There was no way the parent could have anticipated this.
I mean look how she was dressed, she was basically asking for it....
The world isn't a safe place, and it doesn't get any safer when you turn 18; there's no point in keeping the kids home as if that protection is anything more than a delay of the inevitable. It's important to teach the next generation that the government is not their friend, and the way you do that is by showing them that the flag they're forced to pledge their allegiance to every day in school is the same one that will attack them for suggesting that there be liberty and justice for all. The kids out on the streets today will be the ones leading their peers in the battles they'll be forced to fight against the government as adults.
If they get fucking traumatized in the process, it's a net negative. I can't believe that has to be said.
Oh yes, because a child getting pepper sprayed is such a good way to teach someone her age a lesson...
Also you cannot be forced to recite the stupid pledge of allegiance. There are plenty of shitty things happening to discuss without perpetuating lies.
The thing about "forced" is that it can be soft or hard. Sure, you have the option to not say it, but how many children realize they even have that option? Your teacher says "okay kids, we have a new song to sing!" and you do it because you're a kid.
Me and all my peers said it every day without thinking at all about the words and what they mean. It was just what everyone was doing. That's exactly how they teach you to fall in line - not with physical force, but with expectation and the desire to fit in.
The modern day police have consistently and nationally shown the cowardly petty asshole persona that is drawn to the position - reform may not be able to correct this. A new organization may have to emerge from the ashes as the current one becomes a story one tells their children to frame unbecoming behavior and folly so they may avoid becoming a poor behaving human - we will see how this all turns out....
Let me start a fire: the fact that most Americans can't be bothered to get out and support the few who are trying to make a stand makes them no different - cowardly petty assholes who yap on the internet yet implicitly allow it to keep getting worse and worse.
That kid has bigger balls than most of America, fight me.
That's almost right on - that little girl has more power poise and honor than the combined whole of the group of masked neo-nazi shills that marched to washington, and the armored masked badge and gun-toting fucks that defended those shills 'rights' to 'protest' - that's why they assaulted that child @ a protest There will be a reckoning - the ones on the wrong side, are wrong - win or lose
America, fuck yeah! /s
This any of you guys' last straw?
Well, alright then, see you back here tomorrow.
Armchair revolutionaries are totally not useless pieces of shit.
What would you do? Genuinely curious
"Non-Americans should just get on a plane and come fight for us!"
Who's the armchair revolutionary?
With enough heat and pressure, these shits can be diamonds. A little global warming and some food insecurity might do.
With enough shutting-the-fuck-up, armchair revolutionaries can once more pass as bearable human beings. A little this-guy-pretends-to-have-empathy and this-guy-isn't-actively-being-an-idiot might do.
Start voting with bricks instead of paper, the French know what's up.
There's a reason I'm on TOR, btw. Kill47.
I go to rallies and food drives almost every other weekend. Please do half of what I do, then get back to me.
how much does the NSA pay you?
This is a delusional question. Delusional like your claim that "CHRISTIANS ARE PROSECUTED IN THE SOUTH", whatever that means.
in the global south and ad hominem?
I don't know why you're bothering me. Can you not?
when faced with a logical argument
Okay dipshit tell us what you're fucking talking about instead of pretending you have. If there's any fucking thing you could say you probably would have by now. But what do you do instead? Mumble an incomplete thought that seems to make no sense. I happen to know for a fact that Africa is heavily Christian and any isolated incidents of Christian persecution (not prosecution you fucking moron) are barely worth mentioning. So either shut the fucking hell up or make a fucking point. You've said nothing and pretended everyone else is an idiot for not reading the non existent point from your dull mind. Why do people like you even talk? You make the world a worse place. You defend the agressors and then bitch when people call you the fucking moron that you are for it.
Africa is not a country
most of asia is anti-christian
Hey fucktard, are no one said Africa is a country, but you your stupid pathetic troll ass knows that. Okay so far, in dozens of messages, you have managed to type information equivalent to two thirds of a sentence. Congratulations. If I had 1000x more patience we might someday get to a paragraph.
Btw "most of Asia" isn't a country. But in all lowercase because I'm too stupid to type. /s
Blocking your stupid troll ass now...
This cannot possibly stand. WTF!!!! The repus gotta come out and stay the fuck out.
I get that it's heinous that they sprayed a little girl, but I've always been of the belief that kids are no different that anyone else when it comes to this type of thing.
I'm not defending ICE at all by the way.
I'm just saying that a lot of people place emphasis on the wrong thing. A lot of people will place emphasis on it being a little girl, rather than on the fact that ICE is pepper spraying ANYONE who isn't a threat.
I AM saying it's reprehensible that this girl got sprayed. Not because she's young, or a girl, but because she was of no threat to these guys.
If you're 6, 16, 36, 86, any age. Any gender. Any background. If you're not posing an actual threat to anyone, peaceful protesting should not be met with pepper spray or mace, or whatever.
But what else do you expect from these wastes of human skin? They try to act like a big hard threat, but they have to hide their faces because they're all soft scardy cats.
When this is their response to peaceful protests,they force violent protests to become the next step. And there's an infinate more amount of us than there are of them.
I don't think most normal people would disagree that it's reprehensible to tear gas nonviolent protestors, regardless of age.
I think the reason you see things like this is not because people are thinking "how DARE they gas that young girl!? I think we should only gas 18+ people instead 😠", but they're making the point of "these people are willing to stoop so low, that not only will they teargas innocent people, but they will even do it to a child."
They're not saying it doesn't matter when it's done to adults, they're saying that it being done to children shows how low they are willing to stoop, past even the point of gassing adults with no ability or intent to harm them.
Kids are different. They cannot possibly be a threat (with rare exceptions) so the cops can't twist the narrative
Imagine if someone said "guys, pedophiles shouldn't be raping ANYONE!"
Does that illustrate for you how weird this comment is?
