I'm assuming they're used kneepads in Newsom's case

the mask is not only off, but the atrocities are turning into selling points. its like if all the shitty dude hinge profiles replaced their pictures of them holding fish to pictures of them holding proud boy torches

we are at the whims of small, pathetic, weak men who are looking for decreasingly smaller reasons to take out their fear and anger on innocent lives

"Violence protects my friends and my loved ones" fucking bad ass dude

It's also important for ICE to erase that this kind of public execution was entirely avoidable in any reasonable society. There was no need for a deployment like this, no need for the street interaction here, no need for the drawing of weapons, no need for firing, etc...

maybe im just a micro generation of fandom too old, but the smile-tap felt like watch mr rodgers retire. in a way, its kind of a perfect end to the cena story. but its also a brutal reminder of how little i liked the story to begin with. faithful remake vs thoughtful adaptation
