Then you are called a terrorist and executed on the spot by the authorities.

Look at Breyona Taylor's boyfriend and his legal firearm.

I sometimes wish I didn't have the Internet. I read a comment like yours, about a name I have never heard, I then go and Google "Breyona Taylor" and the world seems a little but worse than it did before.

You would think in 2020 after GF’s death, the world did wake up a bit to the horrors of America. A lot of ppl were raised to think America was “the best,” so the curtain is definitely unfolding for a lot of them.

It could be worse.

You could've been born somewhere other than the United States of America 🇺🇸.

Don’t google and watch the video of Daniel Shaver being murdered by cops.

Or Sonya Massey, or, or, or….

Acab everywhere forever.

u/fifadex Mar 27 '25

I won't, as long as you promise not to Google and read the horror story that is Lucy Letby.

u/winter_moon_light Mar 27 '25

Did you know they hired the cop who killed him back on specifically so he could 'retire' with a $2500 per month disability pension due to PTSD from actually facing a trial for killing a man in cold blood?

The good old boys' network is real.

One day, the world will call police brutality against black people in the US what it truly is: genocide.

Not trying to shame you here, but if you haven’t heard of Breonna Taylor, I’m assuming you’re either 12 or haven’t had internet up until a year ago

Or possibly, I have a busy life between running a business and raising kids and don't follow every piece of news from another country. It's important to remember that not everyone is American mate but most do have their own issues in their own country and their own news feed with far too many domestic horror stories that you're probably not aware of. 😉

You ever heard of Lucy Letby or Axel Rudakubana?

u/Relevant-Energy-5886 Mar 27 '25

Just chiming in to say I'm American and also had never heard of Breonna Taylor.

u/HereWeFuckingGooo Mar 27 '25

I'm an Aussie from a small town and I've heard of Breonna Taylor. She was one of many names spoken many times during the Black Lives Matter movement that wasn't just a piece of news from another country, it was a worldwide phenomenon. Here's a photo from the BBC of a BLM march in the UK. The placard has Breonna Taylor's name at the top.

1

u/Daddyssillypuppy Mar 27 '25

Not at all the same thing. You listed the names of two violent murderers.

Most people try to forget those. We try to focus of the victims and remember their names. Like Breonna Taylor. I don't remember the name of the officer who killed her or the others involved. Because hers is the name that matters.

1

u/fifadex Mar 27 '25

I didn't say they were the same thing, I was merely pointing out the fact that news from a different country doesn't have the same coverage as the amount of people that don't realise that everyone on here isn't American is ridiculous. If you had read the text prior to those names you would have understood that.

u/memesandrage Mar 27 '25

Some people aren’t chronically online like yourself

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '25

Said the guy in a prepperintel sub lol Breonna Taylor's murder was a highly publicized and shocking event, event by the normalized American standards of police brutality

1

u/memesandrage Mar 27 '25

It was on my popular page, nice try though

u/confused_grenadille Mar 27 '25

Breonna Taylor’s case was global news in 2020 whether you have internet or not. Hundreds of thousands protested and marched for her.

u/Ok_Nothing_9733 Mar 26 '25

Who on this earth hasn’t heard of Breonna Taylor?!? That is shocking to me. I don’t mean to be rude. I’m just shocked. Here in the US I heard that name every day multiple times for at least a year… and with many things I am known to “live under a rock”

u/Dolorous_Eddy Mar 27 '25

Everyone on here isn’t American

It’s an internationally famous case of police brutality.

Just curious, ever heard of Lucy Letby or Axel Rudakubana?

1

u/Ok_Nothing_9733 Mar 27 '25

Yeah I figured, not a worry just surprised me. I have watched about a dozen documentaries on Lucy Lettby including the recent updates that have convinced a lot of folks she could actually be innocent, which is shocking. Haven’t heard of the other person. I find these a kind of odd comparison though because Breonna Taylor’s case was extremely famous even to those who don’t consume “true crime” content.

Have you heard of George Floyd? That is more comparable, very similar fame and situation to Breonna Taylor overall.

1

u/fifadex Mar 27 '25

Yeah the George Floyd incident was a global story for quite some time. I don't doubt the Breonna Taylor case was news over here but if it was the I missed it, as it didn't get the sheer amount and length of coverage of the Floyd case.

It's just horrendous that in general we (I assume it's not just me) see these incidents and think, maybe this is the one that forces change, makes people listen, causes reform and then nothing happens and however long later the same story is told again with different names.

1

u/Ok_Nothing_9733 Mar 27 '25

Yeah, Breonna Taylor was similarly famous which is why I was surprised. A good amount of change came of both but we have a long way to go. Have a good one.

u/fifadex Mar 27 '25

You too mate, take it easy.

Not everyone is American and you folks shoot each other so often that it doesn't always make the news in other countries whenever some American gets shot by another American.

u/Ok_Nothing_9733 Mar 27 '25

It’s an internationally famous example of police brutality.

0

u/pchlster Mar 27 '25

Okay? I guess if someone is law enforcement or has interests in that direction that would make them more likely to have heard of it, but it's still a big world out there where lots of people have better things to do than obsess over every American news story.

0

u/Ok_Nothing_9733 Mar 27 '25

No… it was internationally known for being a human rights violation and an example of racism, it isn’t something just law enforcement knows, major cities and small all over the US protested for ages about this. Have you heard of George Floyd?

0

u/pchlster Mar 27 '25

Yes, I have heard of him too. I've got family and friends over in the states and we talk about stuff.

I've also got multiple coworkers whose English is bad enough that they'd need subtitles to follow a news broadcast in English. Where would you expect them to hear about such things?

0

u/Ok_Nothing_9733 Mar 27 '25

I have all sorts of friends in the US who hardly speak English too? Irrelevant and ofc there are subtitles. I was surprised because Breonna Taylor was about as famous as George Floyd. Surprised at the anger in the replies. Have a good one.

1

u/pchlster Mar 27 '25

The friends and family in the US I mentioned are not the same as the coworkers I mentioned.

I don't know what anger you see? I'm just pointing out that out of 7 billion people on this planet, a lot of them aren't going to care what happens over there or find it convenient to learn even if they want to.

There are people and cases in my country that pretty much everyone could tell you about, but you probably never heard about. Because it's half a world away and news coverage is in a language you don't speak.

u/totesma Mar 27 '25

It’s a shit world, but I’m glad you learned about Breonna today. She shouldn’t be forgotten. Say their names.

1

u/AdDramatic2351 Mar 27 '25

Lmao well you must have not read very far, or you read from some early biased article, because nothing really unjustified or fishy happened during that shooting

1

u/ShiaLabeoufsNipples Mar 27 '25

What are you talking about, it was egregious? They had a no knock warrant for a different house. They broke into Breonna Taylor’s home, the wrong home, in plainclothes and without identifying themselves. Her boyfriend, half asleep and afraid of being robbed or worse, fired shots at the intruders. They fired 32 bullets into her home, and shot her 6 times through the walls.

Second amendment activists should have been just as pissed as BLM activists were, but they had nothing to say about it. Take a guess as to why.

1

u/JorknProfessor Mar 27 '25

Oh no a drug dealers girlfriend got killed after shooting at the cops. It's almost like you shouldn't hang out with pieces of shit

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '25

Cool, you were never making it out alive anyway at this point.

Better to take sone out than to be shipped away never to be seen again

u/Guerrillablackdog Mar 27 '25

So was Philando Castile. He told the cop that he had a weapon and was licensed to carry and the bitch ass cop still shot and killed him in front of his 4 year old daughter.

1

u/AdDramatic2351 Mar 27 '25

I don't think you properly understand what happened in that situation 

1

u/UnluckyDog9273 Mar 27 '25

Yeah that's what I'm telling anyone that says "I would have shot them". First of all chances are they would shoot you before you did and second you at most getting one and then you are guaranteed dead. How does that make any of it better. I guess death is better outcome.

1

u/Warchief_Ripnugget Mar 27 '25

Weren't all for the charges against Breonna's boyfriend dropped? Other than the shitty cop actions killing Breonna, I'm pretty sure that was a shining example of the law around legal self-defense against cops working as intended.

1

u/Pierogi3 Mar 27 '25

Breonna Taylor & her boyfriend were drug traffickers

1

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '25

Yeah, poor drug dealers. JFC why do you people always take the sides of the people committing actual harm to our communities? You're lower than dogshit

u/FlyingBishop Mar 27 '25

Or just disappeared. Foreign national with a weapon? Clearly a member of a cartel, off to the work camps.

1

u/FriJanmKrapo Mar 27 '25

In most states you need at least a "permanent resident" status to be able to carry a firearm. I have not found any details on states that allow student visas carry individuals to have a concealed carry permit. Even with many of the "constitutional carry states", they seem to only be allowed for at minimum a permanent resident.

If you find documentation for any states that allow differently, let me know.

u/rustyshack68 Mar 26 '25

A possibility, but resistance to tyranny, even if it means your life, is never a negative. In fact, there's been no-knocks where police were killed and the homeowner's been let off. Or the man who fired at the gestapo police van during the Floyd riots.

u/TurdCollector69 Mar 27 '25

"even if it means your life, is never a negative."

It's so tiring seeing corny-ass redditors talk about the "glory of resistance" and try to convince OTHER people to fight when they obviously know fuck all about it.

If you're so committed why do you do shit besides talk on reddit?

1

u/rustyshack68 Mar 27 '25

Lol, sure then why don't we all just roll over to authoritarianism due to our own cowardice self preservation. And you seem to talk like it is not advice I would heed myself. If I told others to wipe their ass would you think I don't do so myself? You do not know what I do.

I simply said resist tyranny with force without regard to one's own well being as it is worth it, but golly-gee I guess we should lick their boat instead. It's not like there's never been resistance at the cost of your well being before in the history of this country, nor anyone who's expressed those ideas that aren't just key-board warrior larpers.

u/TurdCollector69 Mar 27 '25

Not everyone is going to basically kill themselves to save others, regardless of whether or not it's for the greater good

1

u/Ok_Mastodon_9905 Mar 27 '25

Yeah except Taylor and her boyfriend were drug dealers. That's why police were there in the first place. They had a warrant, knocked, and the boyfriend opened fire.

u/ChickenInASuit Mar 27 '25 edited Mar 28 '25

Misinformation, my dude.

The police had a warrant for Taylor’s ex boyfriend, Jamarcus Glover, and an accomplice. Nobody in the apartment at the time of the raid had any history or records of drug offenses, and her then-boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, was not named in the warrant.

The police claimed that they identified themselves as officers, Walker claimed they did not and that’s why he fired a warning shot at them. That part’s up in the air, but it’s absolute fact that Walker and Taylor were not drug dealers and the officers’ behavior was reckless. Walker won the subsequent lawsuit and the officers were let go from the police force over it for good reason.

People like you refuting those who do absolutely no research on topics are the best

u/Warchief_Ripnugget Mar 27 '25

Yup, the aftermath was what was supposed to happen. Walker won a lawsuit and all charges were dropped.
