16 THOUSAND citations.

She's approximately 260 times more successful than me, AND kicked this guy's ass. Fucking hell, I'm so envious right now.

Skill issue?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's okay, you can even those numbers out by beating up more fascists!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

1 fascist beating ~= 10 citations.

Get to it, bud!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Her citations would make for great data is beautiful posts I bet.

In this paper, we present a novel approach to kick some nazi ass using a large broomstick from a car window.

He got off easy. He was this close to having a copy of "Braunwald's Heart Diease" slammed right onto his left ventricle. Watch out for that 11th edition. It's a doozy.

Ohh! Research citations!
For some reason I read that as police citations and was wondering how the hell she got so dangerously based.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Same here. I read it as: This lady has had 16,000 traffic citations and the driving gods miss selected "kill" in the drop down list when choosing her punishment and accidentally gave her Kung fu superpowers.

Worry not: soon the American authorities will treat the former pretty much the same as the latter.

Dude has a weapon and threatened people with it and cops were like "Alllrighty mister, unfortunstely Im going to have to ask you to come with us". Why were they so gent.....

Ohhh yeah

To me, Kyle Rittenhouse trial has to be the most American thing ever, grabbing your assault rifle and heading into a heated situation for no reason whatsoever than that predictably resulting in a death and getting off scott free, that's something that can only happen in the USA

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Everything that led up to the killings was fucking heinous, but in the end, a jury of his peers saw the video evidence and deemed it self defense. I've watched the videos and I agree.

"He shouldn't have been there.", isn't a legal doctrine. Still, I'm surprised the prosecutor couldn't have found some angle there. Isn't there some, "looking for a fight" idea?

If I go down to my MAGA neighbor's house, kick on his door, talk shit (non-physically threatening shit) and he attacks me, I wouldn't feel too safe shooting him. IANAL, but I know the prosecutors were, so I have to bow to their professional judgement.

And whatever happened to his mom or uncle or whoever buying him a gun? I know it was across state lines, but still, the purchase in itself was legal, and you can certainly gift a gun. There was a law clearly broken there, I think Rittenhouse being underage in that state for that weapon? Why wasn't the purchaser hung from the fucking rafters?!

What is perhaps more heinous is that the little fucker is able to milk his notoriety. He should be shunned by both the anti-gun and pro-gun crowd, no one should give two shits to hear him speak. (He is shunned among liberal gun nuts like me.)

I've heard the Poet say that sometimes 'the very people who work in the forces are by happenstance the very same whomst're burning crosses' (citing from memory)

They’re getting better, they didn’t buy him lunch on the way back

Don't fuck with old hippies. Half of them have been on the front line of protest action since the 60s, and the other half are Vietnam vets. They will kick your ass.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Doctor of medicine, so there's a greater than zero chance she knows exactly where to hit him. Good on her, though - people need to take a stand.

Love the way that middle-aged woman took down that basement-dwelling neckbeard incel piece of trash.

She's never going to be able to wash the stink off though.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (3 children)

She's 66, she's a senior citizen.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 month ago

May she live to 132.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

This Rick Fuze is possibly the most pathetic creature I have ever heard of.

I can't remember ever hearing of or witnessing anything quite this pointlessly mean spirited, weak, stupid, and regrettable.

I mean, when you attack a senior citizen, the best outcome as far as I'm concerned is obviously that the attacker loses. But for it to have actually happened, and in circumstances like this? Absolutely incredible.

She’s medically trained, so she knows where to hit him. In addition, there’s a lack of barrier to entering the physical space of strangers and physically touching them just in general. That barrier almost doesn’t exist for medical. The rest of the world, middle of the bell curve, hesitates.

And if she’s done direct patient care at any point in her career, there’s a good chance she has no patience left for shenanigans.

The moral dilemma of not doxing someone vs celebrating them...

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Very good consideration. She did publicly acknowledge it on BlueSky, so I'll take that as permission.

Most conservatives I know who were in my state are no longer in my state. The remaining dumbass redhats complain non-stop about California.

People like this asshole need to get the fuck out. Fuck every last Trump supporter. Leave my state, Nazi comformists.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

Neck beards and maga...like pb&j.

That dude has the face of “MAMMA NOOOO!!”

what a legend

Her research makes it seem like she's also trying to kid HIV/AIDS ass.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Do you think that she never wished AIDS on anybody in her life, and this time she was like, "I hope you get AIDS"?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

Not for nothing but I'd take that like a badge of honor.

Like getting the shit beat out of me by Minerva McGonagall. I'd let her. She could beat me up all night long. No doubt about it, absolute badass. Like when Molly Weasley killed Bellatrix. Idgaf how evil you are or how many curse words you know...nobody fucks with Ginny.

Did they add a stun gun sound effect to that video? Seems way too loud and crisp from that distance

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

microphones pick up stun guns like CRAZY

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (5 children)

It's basically a click/pop artifact generator. Also just fucking loud to begin with.

Oh I thought 16,000 citations as if a citation was a fine you got for doing something illegal like demonstrating without a permit, and was like, damn, she gets around!
