Thats a fair opinion, although I think its likely to cause the opposite reactions than you listed. But again, who really knows.
Also I’m sure most people in most places are good people, just like anywhere, Lebanon included.

It should be designed to summarize the most relevant parts of the article. In this case its designed to get an emotional response, which is manipulation.
I will agree its not explicitly misleading, but there are better headlines for this story out there. Feel free to compare yourself.
The reason I bring it up is because americans are again going to say this was just an idiot with a gun.
He took training classes just like everyone else in here shouting about gun safety. He is a town councilman. He is not an idiot with a gun, he’s an above average example of an American, which should be terrifying.
The takeaway here is that America has too few regulations on firearms. In fact it should be flipped, where noone gets a gun unless they have a proven need for one.
Yeah that would be the very basic idea. The general population simply is not capable of handling guns on the scale it currently is.
Gun ownership needs to be based on actual need rather than fear.
I don’t think a gun should be involved in the first place. Legally speaking its possible you could argue you thought they were committing a felony. Breaking and entering us a felony in most places.
Thats all just to show how awful the system is built in America.
Didnt say they should do it, I’m saying its incorrect to say they want to kill all the Jews.
Sort of telling how you can teach people to associate good thoughts with awful things. Conditioning is a bitch.
I’ll save you time. Licensed factory in Europe, making Chinese beepers, was compromised or owned by Israel. They then put explosives in the pagers and set them to explode when paged a certain code.
They knew hezbollah was the purchaser, and would disperse them amongst its members.
I think its stupid unless it stopped some imminent horrible attack. Otherwise, Israel has given themselves away, and only killed 8 people for it. Maybe they had trouble rigging them to steal their communications.
Oh so everyone there who had a pager must have been a bad guy. Got it, solid logic. Can’t wait for the war to spread further.
As does america have non-combat elements too.
Its not rocket science how they did it. What is the impressive part? Are we really just going to say civilians don’t matter? Is it impressive to you because of how many people were hurt?
In no way is it required to respect the craft or the method.
National order isnt based on tit for tat. If someone commits a war crime against you it doesnt mean you get to do it too.
In my opinion the time of day they chose to blow them shows they wanted as much collateral damage as they could.
What’s the advantage of making excuses for committing war crimes?
Because anyone within 5 meters of the pager also was hurt.
Because that one party autocracy wants to fuck off from the rest of the world.
If they wiped out Israel there would still be Jews.
I’d honestly like to hear the councilman’s version of events, as in what he actually intended to do.
That said I agree with you it should likely be intent regardless of what you meant to do with it.
My guess would be he would argue he was just brandishing, or was aiming at the car.
I don’t like people being so casual with guns, its disturbing how widespread it is.
I see what you mean thats very insightful.
I was mainly wondering if there were laws in some states that explicitly state some sort of racism in the letter of the law.
Thats not to say thats a requirement to believe the things you said, I just thought at the very least racist laws were more indirect in how they are racist.
Sorry I meant that more as a generalization, its in these comments a ton.
I agree with you except there is no such thing as common sense. Everyone has to learn every single thing they know, none of it was a given. I don’t like saying common sense gun handling because it implies its so obvious it doesnt need to be taught, and it also detracts from the real answer which is removing guns from the public.
Are there states that actually code racism like that into law or does it just bear out with the statistics?
I only know my home state laws really, and its legal here to walk around with a rifle on your back. Although last time someone tried that in my town the police came and followed him for a few hours.
Funny how you think I’m excusing it. Intent changes things, but only slightly.
Is it just that the nuance of things is scary to think about? That things might not be as easy and simple as going with your gut reaction?
