this comment section is a dumpster fire, I thought one of the points with lemmy was to have civilized discussion instead of tribalistic “me good, them bad” arguments? i myself am a hair right of center, but respect democrats for believing what they belive can’t we agree what this asswipe of a sheriff, and magatmap are doing is fucking wrong? god we need to throw this entire political system out
If you’re still voting for the republicans you’re supporting fascism. And that is not civilized. Because fascism means that fascist violence will become inevitable.
This is why it’s important to have cameras on your house nowadays.
So they can shut the cameras off like the sheriff did to afroman?
Its no guarantee of safety, not that you suggested as much.
The sheriff cannot shut off my security cameras.
Your security cameras are not bulletproof, they will shut them off
The police aren’t gonna shoot cameras. Also, there are several. Inside, outside, good luck getting away with anything in my house.
Have you ever been in an interaction like that with the police?
Because I’ve found that a lot of the time, people are somewhat more confident before they see just how disgustingly and openly corrupt these assholes can be.
Yes, my camera set up is very similar to that.
“Good luck getting away with anything in my house” still implies that you think that as long as you’ve recorded a police doing something illegal, he’ll face consequences for that.
That is extremely naive.

The cops actually sued Afroman, after breaking his shit and having it videod that they broke shit and stole from him.
I don’t think you understand just how perverted “justice” usually is. Especially when you’re trying to get consequences for law enforcement for having broken the laws themselves.
That would imply they can aim…
Im trans and I have multiple trump people in my neighborhood. My partner and I have agreed us putting up either pride flags or Harris signs would simply make ourselves targets since we live in a red state and county. I don’t want people like this to put me on a list so they can come and attack the house if their fascist leader comes into power. Something that while they would want to do, I’m not positive they’d actually have the guts to do.
Regardless, this shit terrifies me.
I’m a paranoid sort. If I paraded a quarter of the signs, flags, offensive bumper stickers, et. al., of some of my neighbors in my red state, I would just expect that my property would be vandalized, my family threatened, my life endangered. I’m intentionally avoiding showing up on any “lists” that might be composed regarding people from different tribes. It’s not right that this is a problem, but it is reality.
Im not trans but I often think about my leftist views being on the Internet, in the surveillance age, we really really cannot let these motherfuckers into more power. Shit will hit the fan quickly.
Are you armed? You don’t have to reveal political affiliation to go to a gun range and learn how to shoot and basic gun safety.
I definitely need to learn how to shoot, I did when I was a kid but haven’t gone shooting in a long time. Unfortunately, I don’t feel safe to actually get armed just because of my own mental health. I do have friends who are armed, though, and they’re willing to come help if need be.
May I suggest you take up learning a martial art?
Not sure what they’re like in your area, but when I learned Karate as a kid in the 90s/00s, everyone is treated according to their skill level and discipline, gender/sex is irrelevant (beyond cups for guys and thick sports bras for gals).
Its not likely to make you bullet proof, but it does stand a decent chance at bettering your physical and mental health, give you more options when a gun is not part of the scenario.
Martial arts and guns can give people a false sense of security. Who wants to devote a huge portion of their life to preparing for personalize warfare? LARPers live for that crap. On the other hand, it is wise to have a method of self defense as a normal life plan.
The absolute best defense is avoidance whether getting away or even moving your place of residence. There are many places where people aren’t bat-shit crazy.
Forget martial arts if someone has deadly intentions. Get a short shot gun and learn safety and security first. Then learn your firearm very intimately, both how it works and how to use it so well that muscle memory is instinctive. Then, learn how to set a trap where you have the advantage even if you aren’t super proficient. Most of all watch this short video.
Two of our (gay couple) neighbors said something similar to me a while back: They’re too afraid to put up a sign or flag.
My house doesn’t have any LGBTQ people living in it but we have a HUGE fucking LGBTQ flag right across from the American flag. It’s been such a blessing too! Now the most annoying of my neighbors don’t try to smalltalk with me anymore about their absolutely batshit insane conspiracy theories 👍
I hope you don’t feel any shame in this. It’s absolutely disgusting that you live with this sort of fear, and I hope you have a community that you can rely on.
Also, I saw that someone suggested learning to handle firearms, which I agree with, but if home defense is what you’re going for, a good ole fashioned Louisville Slugger will also often do the truck
My God that headline is terrible. That’s the most sane shit he said.
“When people ask me…What’s gonna happen if the Flip — Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins?? I say…write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards! Sooo…when the Illegal human ‘Locust’ (which she supports!) Need places to live…We’ll already have the addresses of the their New families…who supported their arrival!” the post said.
He shouldn’t have access to sharp objects, nonetheless a firearm, or be fucking Sheriff. He’s a danger to his community.

So, par for the course with US law enforcement.
These guys are always painfully blind to the defense budgets they support.
The “locust” bit is getting far too little attention. The history of comparing undesirable populations with vermin is long and filled with horrific violence.
“locust” is for those times when nazi rhetoric doesn’t feel biblical enough.
Well, this seems extremely illegal.
Taking ACAB to a whole new level.
What happens if you send Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski a picture of his house with a Kamala sign on it?
Police investigation of the highest order.
The post text is exactly as coherent as I imagined it would be.
Time to elect a new Sherrif
I propose public officials that appeal to the masses for surveillance be surveiled aggressively.
Dude might have just fucked himself.
He’s racked up complaints all the way up to the DoJ, and this story is gaining national traction.
Our AG Milquetoast might have to take action on this. It’s voter intimidation.
lol. Our AG has no respect for his role in America. He has extremely important responsibilities to act but only seems interested in watching MAGAts (at least the elected ones) get away scott free.
Thank God for Jack Smith.
gaining national traction.
I’m over here on the other side of the world, reading this in a different country.
Wouldn’t that make that… international?
Things the government should have lists of:
people who own gunsPolitical opponents- Teenagers periods
I keep a list of states I won’t set foot in.
Agreed. At least until after their civil war and subsequent liberation from christofascism / white nationalism. Ironic how the angriest, most poisoned, deranged savages are in the most incompetently governed republican strongholds…
That’s entirely by design.
Yeah. The “United” ones are pretty high up.
Ooohh.
Anybody voting republican is actively encouraging this nazi shit, and if they don’t realize they are they’re probably too stupid to be voting.
unfortunately the only people who are too stupid to vote are those who don’t or those who vote third party knowing they have no chance. it’s like Darwin awards but instead of the gene pool they take themselves out of the voting pool.
actually, if it goes a certain way maybe out of the gene pool as well.
Add fascists to the map! https://magatmap.com
this is genius. don’t let these pansie pacifist downvoters deter you. this is exactly what we need.
I’m not going anywhere. :)
I know those yard signs helps me to identify the racists in my neighborhood.
Theres a fairly large(billboard sized) trump sign on the side of the road on my commute. Id love to light it up
Yeah, nothing worse than a billboard you can’t see at night. Get some spotlights, am I right???
Well i was thinking more of flaming arrows from the road shoulder
Better not miss
… huh?
Flip the script.
