  • I don’t think there’s a single person on the planet who doesn’t want Netanyahu gone from the Israeli government.

    He failed guarding Israeli lives

    He failed guarding Palestinian lives (didn’t really try tho)

    He failed disabling Hamas

    He failed bringing the hostages back

    He caused Israel to be the most divided it has ever been, hence the most right wing government is right now in office

    And all just to not be in jail. Fuck Netanyahu.






  • Ah yes, because a stadium with thousands of people is exactly as manageable as your backyard.

    Also, saying “tase or shoot people” is ridiculous. Don’t put those in the same category. One is meant to neutralize, the other to kill.

    Also also, I like how you disregard completely the point about how they’re running - probably sprinting even. Which is again, much less manageable than your (honestly unreleated) example of “people that walk past my no traspassing signs”.

    Seriously, put yourself in the situation for just a second and think again how chill you would’ve been.


  • I’m sorry, but people with heart conditions wouldn’t barge in on a sport event like that through security. And if they did, they’re a new kind of stupid. Police shouldn’t be less effective at their job in order to take extra measures towards dangerous people with disabilities. Security for the majority comes before the security of the minority (which I 100% agree should be considered, but I’m not taser expert. I don’t know how to make them less deadly, but they 100% should be). Especially when the minority is the one breaking the law.



  • A monopoly isn’t inherently bad, but a monopoly by a state is pretty bad. It means they can exert political pressure over you using that sector’s influence.

    Heck, look at Russia and gas. It impacted tons of people all over the world, and if the world hadn’t collectively said “fuck you Russia we’ll handle ourselves without you” - then countries like Germany wouldn’t have a choice but keep buying Russian Gas.

    That’s a political power you really don’t wanna give to anyone, especially not China.

    Yes, competition could restart, but that’d take time. And you don’t always have that time. Again, see Russia and gas as a nice example for that.



  • I agree, but I’m pretty sure that tasing under normal and proper use shouldn’t kill healthy people (a person running storming a sports game is 100% healthy). Like, if he had stayed tasing him for like 20 seconds then I’d get the outrage, but removing the taser once he’s incapacitated really shouldn’t have major consequences.

    And it’s definitely a valid option in the case of a large field like a game stadium, where there’s lots of room for the person to run away rapidly. Once he gets a few meters away from security, he has lots of room to sprint away, and catching him would be really hard.

    Idk, I just think it’s really really hard to guard a game once someone broke through security gates.


  • First, that sounds awful. Glad your’re okay.

    Second, I don’t think we’re talking the same scale here. A sport game has several thousands of fans, lots of them wanting to storm the field. It’s pretty much a completely different job guarding that and a presentation with (presumably) way less people and way less room for people to storm and overwhelm the security.

    I’m not a security expert, so I might be wrong, but that just seems to me a whole different scale which is harder to implement.
