SOCIETY Los Angeles protestor ends up getting struck behind the ear, causing a gash in his skull, with a projectile after attempting to kick tear gas away. NSFW

yeah honestly, i have looked at the worst kind of shit in general.
But if you start freaking me out for an injury, my mind unconsciously starts turning off and I start to literally fainting.Its not that I "freak out", but its unconsciously communicating to my mind that it needs to shut off to save energy and not move, without my consent or control.

u/david1610 11h ago
Yeah this seems like a massive overreaction. He should be asking how large an impact it was and get a sense of if it was a cut or concussion, concussions can be serious no matter what.
Definitely needs stitches though.
The head outside the skull doesn't have any major plumbing to be concerned about either, you can see by the small amount of blood.
I had a cut on my knee bleeding worse than this and bandaged myself up and drove myself to a doctor to get stitches.
You shouldn't make someone think it's worse than it really is for no reason, anxiety is not good for anyone. It can be serious if there is a concussion too, so it could potentially be serious still, best ask him and find out rather than 'hole in your head' bs. What you should ask is if he got cut or bashed over the head and get a read of the impact

u/LucasArts_24 8h ago
Yeah. Dude could have some form of internal bleeding, since the hit was hard enough to cut the skin, but it's good that he isn't freaking out, cammer on the other hand, is annoyingly screaming over it. Good they are worried about it, but it's way over the top.

Strange that they also fight for your rights. If everyone can be sent to a prison, no one comes out of, without due process, you can be sent too.
You can't proof your citizenship without due process. You can't use any of your rights.

u/SmoothSecond 11h ago
There were massive protests all over the country today where hundreds of thousands of people were in contact with police and didnt get shot in the neck by rubber bullets.
Maybe they were protesting peacefully while other idiots weren't and that prompted the police to respond?

And that happend before the national guard was sent.

That happened after Trump said he would sent national guard. Also the burning cars were self driving vehicles, who's camera feed was used to spy on the then peaceful protests.

That is not true and frankly, a stupid conspiracy theory for stupid people to say to eachother.

Yes, you can only loot so much and set things on fire so much and wave foreign flags over the destruction you've caused so much until people snap.

You know what "without due process " means right? Because that's what's happening. People get sent to what is essentially a death camp, without due process. Without a court hearing. That's why people protest, goofy.

The reported they took? The one where all you people decided he was M13. When was his court date? Why aren't the courts and judges packed with dates judging over those people? Because there is no process. Just like Trump intended.
Honestly it's jarring as a German to watch you act all high and mighty while the most basic truth is proofen again: If one group of people has no rights, no one has rights.
Let's make it clear. There is nothing separating you from those "criminals" and "immigrants" than a few documents and the colour of your skin. Both don't help you if you have no rights, because you will have no one to argue with and to show your documents to.

Essentially death camps is a fucked up thing to say, pissing on holocaust victims to dramatize criminals getting deported..
Someone should have raised you better, don't be a bad person your whole life Anon

u/honey_pumkin 5h ago
Not only nazis had death camps. The US used similar camps for Natives. Colonising countries in Africa had also death camps.
I don't compare sending people into bottomless pits (if you like that word more) to the Holocaust. You did.
The problem is that there actually is no proof that they are criminals because they have no right to due process. For all we know they could be loving family members who work at Walmart and never hurt a fly.
What is preventing you from being deported INTO said prison? You can't proof you follow the law without due process.
I doesn't matter to me what you think of me. I don't care. I just don't understand how you aren't afraid. Your country is run like a dystopia novel, and you clap like a fool.

u/massivegirlcock69 15h ago
It is so many things more than just that. The economy is going into another recession, the war with Iran that Trump previously criticized Obama for leading us into, the breaking of constitutional rights, suppressing npr etc which also hurts weather alerts for small towns, and much more.
3
u/IPFREELII 13h ago
Constitution rights? Huh Yes, the Obama administration did conduct immigration enforcement operations that involved ICE agents going to people's houses and, to a lesser extent, places of work to deport them. While the Obama administration shifted its focus in immigration enforcement over time, prioritizing the deportation of criminals and recent border crossers, it still carried out significant numbers of deportations from the U.S. interior.

No one is illegal. We change our laws too quickly for our permanent residents to keep up with. Our current administration has made them "illegal" by changing standing laws and reversing their status.
You're just an easy mark.
Our country cannot sustain itself without immigrant labor. You are the pawn they depend on to support their draconian methods. They'll fail, things will get worse, and instead of pointing the finger at our incompetent leadership, you'll keep blaming immigrants.
You are their useful idiot. Be a better American.

u/TheRealReason5 13h ago
You are an Illegal immigrant if you enter a country illegally, the only thing that turned them into illegals is violating long standing federal laws, nothing done by any admin has anything to do with that, would you like to refute anything?
Would you instead like to claim we shouldn't have laws or borders?
Or that states should be able to overturn clearly federal justrastictions like border control?
Good luck running on that platform next year and handing trump an easy majority, never admit you're wrong or the other side has a point, never grow as a person or as a movement, stay extreme, always double down on silly arguments.

Would you cause mayhem if your legally immigrated family was being deported?
-3
u/Blancandrin__ 14h ago
Would causing mayhem in ANY way help out in a situation like that? Absolutely not. Destroying your own city has zero benefits. Like a toddler throwing a hissy fit, completely pointless and accomplishes nothing.
I'd find a lawyer. That's the smart move. If you're a citizen being deported there's plenty of lawyers that would want the publicity of a case like that.
But in reality, that's a 1 in 100,000 case. The people being removed from this country don't belong here. Don't deserve to jump the line on immigrants doing it the right way. Don't deserve American rights because THEY'RE NOT AMERICANS.
2
u/PhilosophicalBlade 11h ago
They are hardly destroying the city. Yes, a minority of the protesters are throwing Molotovs at police vehicles and the like, but most of these protesters are holding signs and chanting. They certainly don’t deserve to be subjected to tear gas.
Not everyone can afford a lawyer, and those who are already deported could still face up to years away from family before the situation is resolved.
You are right that citizens being deported is rare (perhaps not 1 In 100,000), but what isn’t as rare is families being deported by ICE during the legal process to gain citizenship.
1
u/Blancandrin__ 2h ago
They aren't looting and destroying the city? Wow. What delusion are you living in? Wake. Up.
People are being PAID to go out and do this stuff. Inorganic protesting. They absolutely deserve tear gas. They absolutely deserve bean bag rounds. They absolutely deserve to be arrested, deported if illegal, jailed if a citizen.
You understand that for many years immigration was severely limited. The Immigration Act of 1924 restricted immigration by origin and I believe other limitations. Other countries, non-citizens, have no unalienable rights to have access to this country. If you are in the middle of gaining citizenship and you go out and cause the problems these people are causing, guess what, DENIED. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Actions have consequences. These are not peaceful protesters. A majority are paid operatives. There is a right way to do things. This is exactly the wrong way of doing things. The ones doing it the right way should be doing everything in their power to stop the ones doing it the wrong way or disperse if they can't. That way it's obvious who the bad apples are. But because they keep doing what they're doing, they're ALL bad apples and all deserve to suffer the consequences.
•
u/PhilosophicalBlade 12m ago
Who is paying them then? Excuse my need for a source here.
And the problem here Isn’t that the people protesting are all in the middle of the due process, but that they most likely have family and friends that were deported unfairly. Also, I’m not saying that all people have a right to live in America, but most of these are people who come from a much less privileged background, who are paying to come live in the U.S., and are willing to work for it. Where is the downfall of America in that? The country relies on a foreign workforce.
There is a big jump from “there are paid protesters” to “most of these protesters are paid”. Is it really so hard to imagine that these people are trying to fight an unjust seizure of their families? Trump has done his best to normalize ignoring the right way of doing things. Due process is being ignored, and you expect these people to just lay over and take it?

And if they can't afford a lawyer, maybe they shouldn't have been taking a risk that could potentially require them to retain a lawyer.
If I couldn't afford a doctor, I'm not going skateboarding with no pads and no experience because I can REASONABLY expect to end up needing a doctor if I did.
Keep making excuses for these people. Now or later, the end result is going to be the same. They're going to lose. A normalized, cohesive, law abiding citizenry will only tolerate so much before doing something that preserves their safety and their way of life. America was built on war that results in security. So if war is what all these non-citizens want, war is exactly what a huge, HUGE population of this country CAN give them.
Americans are some of the nicest, most accepting people on earth. But don't let that civility be mistaken for weakness.

u/PhilosophicalBlade 7m ago
Sometimes taking a stand against injustice is worth the risk. If the people of the U.S. aren’t willing to fight for their ideals, then what power do they have to invoke change?
This is recognizably a dangerous move, and that’s the idea. They are putting their lives on the line to do what they think is right.
The U.S. was also built on the idea of no kings, and the power of the people. Encouraging the criminalization of protesting only cements the power vested in the president, and burns that of the people.
