    Do you genuinely believe there are people out there who aren't born predisposed to violence? This is a well known fact and a reason we have prisons for people who are not able to be rehabilitated. There aren't nearly as many monsters out there as people think, but they're there.

    People like serial killers are well known for having relatively normal upbringings but go on to become murderers/rapists. Some even come from loving, caring, and enthusiastic homes.

    People can hand-wave genetic predisposition all they want, it doesn't make genetic heritability for a multitude of of disorders untrue. Nor does it change how you rolled poorly in the genetic lottery and now you're stuck with a male brain inside a female body.

    No amount of therapy is going to keep some poor pedophile's brain wired to find children attractive from finding that they're attractive. They get to live their entire cursed existence hating themselves even if they never hurt a single kid.

    People give biology way too little credit for the monsters that society has to deal with. And as shown above, a lot of it isn't due to culture, how you were raised, or if you were loved. It's because you hit the genetic snake eyes and you don't have the little thing in the back of your brain that finds rape and murder repulsive.

    Genetics doesn't absolve them of their guilt, but it's one piece of a puzzle that too few people give credit for. For the same reason why one kid can do coke once and never try it again, and another ends up having their life spiral out of control for a decade due to addiction.

    Yep, and yet the article says nothing close to it, and is described the same way every frustrated person dealing with blocked roads does when they panic and flee and eventually get hit with significant battery or accidental manslaughter charges. Unless their car started to get beat on and they tried breaking in, in which case, it ends up being self defense. Isn't that how the charges against the dude who ran down a bunch of motorcyclicsts got free? He had his whole family with him too though iirc. I think it was this? but I swear it was denser and more in a city.

    Exactly. Thank you.

    I am fully willing to change my thought on the matter at the drop of a hat with new information. But the way the article reads is VERY different from every terrorist car attack we've seen in the USA in previous years.

    The strikers were blocking an exit to the processing center on West Bristol Road, Bade said, when the incident took place.

    The driver, who drove off after the incident, has not been located, Bade said.

    UAW Region 1-D President Steve Dawes told MLive-The Flint Journal that the vehicle involved in the incident was dark in color, possibly an HHR or PT Cruiser.

    He added that two of the five people hit were taken to a local hospital.

    “It was uncalled for,” Dawes said. “These people are out here, you know these are my membership, and they’re out here doing a peaceful, legal demonstration.

    “This is very serious and we’re going to be pushing this issue.”

    No, they're not. Quit watering down what terrorism means.

    Terrorism is someone who specifically is trying to kill, maim, destroy, or significantly hurt people due to very narrow ideologies which are usually VERY political now.

    Running people over because you can't get to work isn't one of them. That is attempted manslaughter if you hurt them bad enough, not a fucking terrorist.

    Either you guys know way more about the incident than I do since you're close to the police and already know it's a Trumper who hates strikes and thought they were all gay black democrats, who potentially showed up specifically to hurt these people, or it was some asshole trying to get to work and got so manic he decided it's better to maim or kill people than to get to work.

    THEY, ARE NOT, THE SAME.

    I love the hypocrisy mic drop at the end, but damn does it suck to know Republicans just don't care about it. And with 6 of them sitting on the supreme court, I see no reason why they wouldn't just meddle in state elections this time, then go right back to saying they can't help with maps lol.

    There is precedent for it acting quickly in an election dispute, as it did during Bush v. Gore in 2000 — but its reputation took a hit after it was perceived as meddling in the outcome. And, he adds, it could decline to intervene at all, as it did in several cases related to election procedures ahead of 2020.

    I'm just waiting for the pendulum to swing the other way on it. You'll get real-deal white people only groups just to poke a hole in the hypocrisy of the other groups ala The Satanic Temple. It'll just be a bunch of white people talking about their personal heritage of trailer park trash customs, video games, football legends, and maybe literal Folk European History lol. Then again I suppose that was kinda why the Supreme Court struck down Affirmative Action. Can't discriminate based on X.

    AACAB I can get behind lol. ACAB half the time is just straight up internet trolls and instigators. Meanwhile the same people love to espouse shit like how the wealthy are the real oppressors while ignoring most police are only firmly low-middle class. There are way more people getting into that job who just happened into it like most people in the world. While yes, the abusers and psychopaths are attracted to the job for the above, the separation of powers in places like that are wide. Just like they would be in most businesses. Let alone the real deal PTSD they have to deal with daily to weekly in som areas.

    Any direct supervisors for teams that have pretty full automony know it's impossible to track what they do constantly. So much of it is based on the trust system and good faith actors speaking out when they see something. Throw in some bystanders effect and benefit of the doubt for people who'd normally be good to you but a monster in the shadows... I'm not envious of police one bit, or the people trying to make change from the inside. Which is the only real way it's going to happen despite internet tough guys espousing otherwise while refusing to pay taxes for shit like mental health services lol. Elected local/state politicians, DAs, also being the people who could make those changes. Also equally vilified.

    It's way more complicated than people give it credit for when you're actually trying to make change. For most people trying to get by, best thing you can do is vote.
