Marking yourself as a medic while committing violent assaults is a war crime.
Do people actually believe that this would be considered a war crime outside of an actual war? I swear I heard more people calling things war crimes outside of wars than during them.
edit:
you mean war crimes like these same people are committing by trying to blind these same federal officers with lasers?
A number of them believe burgerland is un-ironically faschhhhhhhh / ruled by Ruskicels / mayosupreme-a-cysts. They live in an alternate reality where it is a war and the only way to save it is to break stuff.
Lol you mean a kid trying to fumble their belts off to apply an unnecessary tourniquet and pressing their dirty deadmau5 tee onto a scratch while pouring bottled water over everything isn't a medic?
In this thread, a bunch of people that have no fucking clue what they are talking about.
...
Edit: so it turns out I also didn’t know what I was talking about.
“When protest medics are rendering aid to protest attendees and innocent bystanders, they are exercising their right to free speech,” said Rian Peck, attorney at Perkins Coie. “At the core of their message: Police violence and brutality will not deter protesters from using their voice to demand change in policing practices. For as long as the protests continue, our clients intend to continue exercising their right to deliver that message.”
I have a soft spot for the ACLU despite often being dumb as rocks because they're one of the few organisations that stick their neck out for whistleblowers, but holy shit this is such an r-slurred take that I'm amazed it wasn't written by a SRDine. So now I'm gonna write my own r-slurred unqualified take.
Firstly, big brain redditors are trying to apply the Geneva convention to US riots (you can't) but that requires you to be acting exclusively as a medic. That way medics can't fire a gun in one hand, bandage with the other, and claim protection, that should be common sense.
If medics are also acting as protestors or rioters, they aren't exclusively acting as medics. If ACLU want to claim that wokies with velcro straps as tourniquets are medics in the internationally understood sense, they can't claim that they are also demonstrating some kind of message, as that's not what a medic is.
To use a more extreme example, you can't claim that liberating televisions from Walmart is an act of free speech because you're also carrying a placard and a first aid kit.
Hopefully the feds pull out and the dirty hippies all give each other AIDS from sharing heroin needles and go insane and set shit on fire while they're dying from preventable diseases they tried to cure with crystals . It would be the most Portland way to go.
The fact that so many of you are rooting for the armed terrorists in body armor is concerning. The fact that they're there because a few people have been spraying graffiti and doing some minor property damage is terrifying.
Wow, people in that thread just keep on citing a law bill that didn't pass and isn't actually a law. They act so smug about it too lmao when it's actually literal fake news. It's maddening to see the whole conversation just hijacked by a known lie lol
Some tard in there said the "big spark" for Militarization of the Police was the LA Riots. But I thought violent "protests" are what makes positive change? 😳

Ledditors who have never lived or been near a conflict zone love throwing around the term war crime for everything they can think of.

R*dditors think that only two crimes exist: attempted murder and war crimes.

Yes, especially considering they're all drug users who have many sexually transmitted diseases.

You had a chance to not be completely worthless, but it looks like you threw it away. At least you're consistent.

ACLU used to be good, but they've been ideologically captured in the last decade and need to be put out of their misery.
