An “extremely active” shooting situation is ongoing in Pittsburgh after authorities attempted an eviction, city spokesperson Maria Montano said Wednesday.
Shots are “continuing to be fired” after the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office tried to evict a resident in the Garfield area and the suspect opened fire on deputies, officials said.
This ain’t the first time in American history this happened…
During the great depression when a bank showed up with a Sheriff to repossess and evict, the whole community was there with their guns.
If people hadn’t done that, America would have been hurt a lot worse.
The difference is cops used to back down, because they can’t win against a whole community where they also.lived. Now people mostly have to stand on their own and cops routinely live an hour plus away from where they work.
I’m willing to bet there are more people with guns in Philly than there are cops, it’s just only one group is standing united. If people stood united, the cops would back down and there’s be zero violence
But how are we supposed to be united with our neighbors when my favorite color is purple and theirs is orange?? And I mean, don’t get me started on the pineapple! They can go fuck themselves if they think I’m going to stand with them!
Wtf are you talking about?
eviction resistance
How would this shooter’s death change anything?
I’m saying when one person does this, they lose.
When entire communities do this, they win.
About as simple as I can make it, hope it helps, but you didn’t seem to get this last time either
Okay, but in this case, it’s one person. So that’s not especially helpful for anything.
Ok…
Sorry I can’t make this any simpler, have a good one.
Simplicity has nothing to do with it. You’re talking about something that has nothing to do with this situation. You’re hijacking the thread.
Learn to read, bootlicker.
Sure, I’m a bootlicker because I don’t think someone should throw their life away over getting evicted. Clearly that means I bow to all authority figures. There’s no possible other option.
