  • I don’t think there’s a single person on the planet who doesn’t want Netanyahu gone from the Israeli government.

    He failed guarding Israeli lives

    He failed guarding Palestinian lives (didn’t really try tho)

    He failed disabling Hamas

    He failed bringing the hostages back

    He caused Israel to be the most divided it has ever been, hence the most right wing government is right now in office

    And all just to not be in jail. Fuck Netanyahu.









  • Not exactly more than an average person’s life.

    First, again, tasers aren’t always deadly. In the vast majority of cases, they aren’t. I agree we should move towards solutions with 0% fatality, or change tasers to be more towards 0%, but I’m no taser expert.

    Secondly, I don’t just mean the athletes career. What I meant by “their career” is their body. Crazy people can hurt the athletes, badly. I’d much rather have one drunk fan being tased than a world athlete being handicapped. And I don’t think that’s so fucked up.



  • I agree with most of what you say, but as you said, it’s up to the organizers to make sure nothing goes horribly bad. And I just think that in the case of sports in a stadium, there needs to be 0 tolerance towards people breaking on-field. I agree it’s never completely safe, and most of the time the sport itself is way more dangerous than the crowd, but the security team has one job, and in the case presented here they did everything they could, and that’s the way it should be. 0 tolerance, since it can go downhill very fast.


  • Ah yes, because a stadium with thousands of people is exactly as manageable as your backyard.

    Also, saying “tase or shoot people” is ridiculous. Don’t put those in the same category. One is meant to neutralize, the other to kill.

    Also also, I like how you disregard completely the point about how they’re running - probably sprinting even. Which is again, much less manageable than your (honestly unreleated) example of “people that walk past my no traspassing signs”.

    Seriously, put yourself in the situation for just a second and think again how chill you would’ve been.


  • I’m sorry, but people with heart conditions wouldn’t barge in on a sport event like that through security. And if they did, they’re a new kind of stupid. Police shouldn’t be less effective at their job in order to take extra measures towards dangerous people with disabilities. Security for the majority comes before the security of the minority (which I 100% agree should be considered, but I’m not taser expert. I don’t know how to make them less deadly, but they 100% should be). Especially when the minority is the one breaking the law.
