...why the hell should I listen to them about how horrible the republicans are about stripping away my rights?
You don't need to listen to them when Republicans are screaming it at you themselves.
Voting in the side that isn't threatening the entire (small-d) democratic system means you'll get an opportunity to vote them out later. Voting in the other side might mean you'll never get that opportunity again.
Ignore the law, and a default judgment will be entered against you...
Who is this "you" you speak of? The suggestion, silly as it was, was to criminalize ad injections. Are you going to be injecting ads into other people's TV's? Why would anyone be coming for you?
The man isn't coming for you. You're not that important.

It's a safe bet that most people interested in this article and it's comments can in fact afford those things *and* also a TV, so they can have a valid opinion about modern TV's being a bit shit.
I specifically questioned the lack of coverage of heroic police officers who go above and beyond the call of duty in protecting productive citizens’ property.
There are plenty of media outlets that run 'brave cop' puff pieces, but that's all they are. Calling out bad behavior, especially egregious stories like this one, is far more important because publicity is about the only thing that seems to make a dent in it. A cop doing the job they're well paid to do is not news. A cop doing their job a bit better than their colleagues can be a nice story. But shit like this should be spread widely and loudly until cops learn it is not acceptable.
I didn’t know autism hindered reading comprehension, too!!
Not super surprised that the person desperate for cops to be put on a pedestal is also an insufferable asshole. Also, irony.
You actually have a legitimate criticism about the passive voice used, I agree with that. But the victim didn't get shot simply for not being chill, they didn't "flee" by any logical definition and the fact that the vehicle was (unknowingly) stolen is irrelevant to the driver's behavior. The cops displayed an egregious contempt for human life and even their superiors knew their behavior was unjustifiable.
She also lied to her employer, which, barring any other aspect, was itself enough warrant firing.
I think this was probably a significant factor in her getting fired. A company might tolerate a bigoted employee if they thought they were worth keeping ("her views do not reflect the company's, blah, blah"), but a dishonest employee is always a risk to keep around. What else might she decide to lie to them about?
The battering ram makes a knocking sound right?
The need for an edit feature is strong! ;)
It is unlikely I will reconsider the contempt and derision I'm directing at trolls like you.
Jeebuz... The men with guns aren't the ones making laws. The men with guns aren't the ones who would enforce an advertising rule. Enhance your calm.

Technically he's already made that offer...

Matty can't comprehend the difference between "I disagree with you so you're a bigot (strawman claim) and "You're a bigot so I disagree with you".
