Looking at it makes me want to listen to Oi Polloi. Actually, I did.
Aaah! Feels so much better!
Stuttgart, September 2010. Generally peacuful demonstrations against an overpriced new main station, out of the middle of society. This pensioner was hit by a water cannon and will remain blind on one eye.
But hey, everything’s fine - he was not shot, wasn’t he? After all, water cannons are low intensitiy measures!
My first thought was, “Jesus f*ck!”
My second was, “Soylent Green is people!”

Hope isn’t a plan.
hey there, that image might deserve a [ spoiler ] tag. its NSFL. What do you think?
I’m sure the TGOP and the alt-right crowd is already creaming their jeans over it.
Great for home defense! Can also be used to open stubborn jars!
Did you filter by Prime? I would imagine it does qualify for free shipping.
I never believed in “out of sight, out of mind” and a discussion about impressive new police playthings is incomplete without a look at the other side. If my post is offending and flag-worthy the mods will sort it out.
Don’t be that guy.
How would voluntarily using a spoiler tag prevent this?
I don’t pat myself on the back for being shocking. Putting images of violence up on a public forum is rude at best, and attention seeking at worst. It would add to the discussion -more- if you spoilered the image, (not removed it), IMHO.
but justifying it in terms of other people needing to be shocked is a bit of a rhetorical killdozer, innit?
because the spoiler tag on images is not working for me quite often.
this is not my justification and while my grasp of English is incomplete I am quite sure that I didn’t use this as argument above.
i yam what i yam.
in my opinion a post of the image is justified. you disagree (fine by me, meant without irony) but so far I am not convinced that blurring the pic is helpful or needed
No kidding. But I what I can do is be encouraging and supportive of those who are in a place to plan - in this case that appears to be Poland, if I am not mistaken. There is a lot of group commiseration and learned helplessness these days and my plan is that my interactions work towards creating alternatives to that which empower people.
