The "logic" goes like this: (sarcasm)

It's ok to burn down the planet for profit. It's ok to destroy the ecosystem on which we all depend for food, clean water. It's ok to make bombs and sell them to those dropping them on hospitals and children. It's ok to pollute the air with deadly particles no one can avoid.

But you just CANNOT... you just CANNOT be in a way of someone carrying a few tons of steel of a metal cage through a city. That's not something that we as a society will accept

Should we tell them their family joined the protest?

My favorite retort to those advocating for running over protesters:

If it's OK for you to run over protesters blocking your path on the highway, it's also OK for me to set fire to your car if you park it in the bike lane.

Yeah, but to know which car to burn down you'd have to see them run over you and by that time ur dead.

Can any lawyers answer this:

If the person driving that vehicle did end up running someone over, and had that sign in the window, would they get an elevated charge?

To me, that sort of thing is like premeditation, and it would be extremely hard for me to believe that an “accident” led to them killing someone with their vehicle.

[-] NiHaDuncan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Not a lawyer but, premeditation isn’t what you think it is; one can premeditate an action in seconds, the concept really just conveys that the individual had time to think of the consequences.

But yeah, a sticker like this would certainly hurt the case of any defendant. It wouldn’t likely get them any modifiers (though it would help), but it could definitely affect a judge’s decision on how much time they should serve.

Splattering lives is okay,but shattering such windows is the promotion of violence? Honestly? 🔨

Double standards

Edit: my mistake, it's not visible on the screenshot, but the "i hope you get shot" didn't get removed for promoting violence, there is no mod reply to it.
