Those flock cameras are known to aggressively attack. Im absolutely certain this was in self defense.
checks out, TN is a stand your ground state
It was coming right at me!
He’s just a kid, who took a wrong turn, and is from a good family. He’s obviously going to turn his life around. In 10 years, my best guess is the guy’s likely to become a surgeon.
So what you’re saying is he’s a first amendment supporter with good aim who isn’t afraid to take direct action against federal surveillance overreach, right? I think you could sell this to the Republicans as a candidate just as easily as to the Democrats.
I think you mean 2nd Amendment, 1st is free speech. The 2nd is right to bear arms. But you’re otherwise 100% correct. If I were in the district/state he would have my vote. If we can put a pedophile in the White House, we can surely put this guy in Congress.
If money is a form of speech, so are bullets.
I don’t know what it does on Lemmy but I’m clicking the gold star on this reply
Bullets cost money, so bullets are just a way of projecting speech. Finally, a way for the average person to “talk” to a politician where they’ll actually listen.
Does this qualify me to be a Supreme Court judge?
I want this on a shirt.
This is hard at fuck. This makes me hard as fuck.
More like 4th the “come back with a fucking warrant” amendment
First is more! Speech, press, religion, assembly and redress of grievances. But no one on the right believes Trump is a pedophile btw.
This is a real politician who i want in office. Someone who talks the talk and walks the walk?
Still eligible to hold office.
I’d vote for him.
people have voted for far worse.
If I was in US he has my vote
That would make me vote for him.
Welp, let’s get him elected and some of that immunity with it. Him running against flock and showing he is willing to do what it takes should give him good chances no?
Was going to say the same thing. I read his ballotopedia responses and he seems better than a Republican. But that’s a pretty low bar.
True. The Republican incumbent that he’s running against, Tim Burchett, promised to legislate against Flock cameras. While that’s nice, I no longer trust the promises of any Republican.
As far as I’m concerned, we need to replace all Republican politicians. If their opponent is a Democrat, we need to be a little careful not to elect a wolf in sheep’s clothing. But if they’re independents like the guy we’re talking about, I think just about anybody would do. Like an animal or an inanimate object would even be infinitely preferable to a Republican.
You need to vote for people who can win
Better start canvassing then, atleast this dude is already in the media!
I’m Canadian and happy with my provincial, municipal, and federal governments!
I remember a candidate talking about shooting a person in public and still winning, and he did. Call this a hot take, but I’d rather my politicians brag about shooting cheap surveillance tech than a living being
He’s got my vote
This will get him more votes not fewer
Yeah, might have found a way to swing republican voters to his side.
From their Q&A:
Trickle down economics has failed to produce results. Subsidizing projects for corporations to reap the benefits while working class Americans struggle is fiscally irresponsible. Redirecting subsidies from multi-billion dollar corporations to public education and health programs.
Based.
Fuck dude. I’m moving there and voting for him
Couldn’t be him. He was at my birthday party all of those days.
True. I was there and also saw him each of those days.
I mean, based? Elect him
Finally. Gun violence I can support!
He’d get my vote. ( If I were so unfortunate to have tolive in Tennessee)
A beautiful state ruined by rednecks and religion.
There are lots of decent people in Tennessee too. I really want to visit, it’s so beautiful there, especially the mountains.
