"They’ve got me waiting on a day when we can say ‘fuck the police!’ with a little bit of integrity,
When it’ll mean: ‘I’ve got your back if you’ve got mine!’"
This is a wonderfully levelheaded response.
At this time, any further comments on the cause of death are currently pending until toxicology results and other ancillary testing results are received,” the statement says. (Emphasis mine)
Benedict was able to walk out of the bathroom after the Feb. 7 fight but was taken to a hospital by their family and sent home that night. The next day, paramedics were dispatched to the home for a medical emergency and took Benedict to a hospital emergency room, where they later died, police said.
I really hope this doesn’t turn out to be self-inflicted… Either that, or that’s the angle the officials are hoping to imply in the meantime. This whole thing is so heartbreaking…

This is a common trope in these topics. And I gotta say, to be perfectly honest, that I hate it.
Leftists/anti-fascists also rely on having face coverings to protect themselves from state repression, and doxxing from nazis, despite being right in their beliefs.
I get where you’re coming from with the sentiment, I do. But rather than taking issue with the masks themselves, I’d recommend taking action (or at least encouraging it) and physically removing their masks so they can be properly doxxed themselves and face the consequences of their violent and hateful beliefs.
Edit: Case in point, here’s a link to a video of the Proud Boys fighting with another, smaller, local neo Nazi group where they start to de-mask each other, towards the end of the video. They know that being exposed to the public is detrimental to their livelihoods, but will still do it to each other whenever there’s a conflict.
Take note of that, and act accordingly.
I could be wrong, but this appears to be Blood Tribe, they’ve been pretty active in Florida recently
Edit: missed the part of the article where they mention their shirts confirming this

Boooooooo
Post your ads on IG or something. Not here.
One of America’s current leading purveyors of hate…
The push to write in Biden on the ballot didn’t go completely smoothly. The weekend before New Hampshire’s primary, thousands of voters in the state received robocalls that used deep faked audio of the president in an attempt to dissuade them from turning out.
Whatever your thoughts on electoral politics are, this shit right here is such a terrifying prospect for the future…

Just had a post removed for breaking this rule. I’d just like to apologize for not reading this prior.
“the message that it communicates … is that police officers can kill you and hide details, because you’re a member of a movement.”
Thanks, I saw somewhere else that Mint was recommended for beginners too. I’ll look into that
We were having issues with our security system at my work one week, which resulted in the alarm going off a lot. For the next several days we had magpies that were mimicking the alarm’s tone and rhythm almost perfectly.
I have a family member who’s active in the MMA scene, who also happens to be rather naive and easily misled. These kinds of stories worry me…
Ok, I didn’t have any language settings set apparently. I just fixed that, and maybe it’ll start working now? Thanks for your response!
Ok, thank you! I checked and slrpnk is at least federated with the peertube instances. I’ll ask about any other potential issues here on my server.
You’re not wrong, and maybe they should have initially responded to the person who called them out. But this whole conversation could’ve turned into a dumpster fire in a number of different ways.
I believe the response given was absolutely worth commending. It showed compassion and maturity - things that are all too often lacking in internet discourse.
