  • Look I agree with the overall sentiment but 1 of these is not like the others, especially if you’ve read the history of the Dakota War of 1862. Should the US in general not have wholesale slaughtered an indigenous people and stolen their land? Obviously not. Did that reality lead to the war of 1862? Sure did. Does that make massacring people on either side ok? No not really. Lincoln was given a recommendation to execute 303 people who participated in battles and, in some cases, massacred civilians. He asked for details of their convictions. Then he decided that the 38 who actively participated in massacres of innocent people should be executed, not the others who participated in battles. That kinda feels like the best of a fucked up situation to me.






  • The problem here is what I consider the intentional too-narrow-a-point focus that our legal system has been moved towards to make it easier to get away with things. For emergency relief the party being harmed has to ask for it. The parties asking for emergency relief are not the people being fired, therefore are not the parties being harmed. It’s stupid but she has to rule based on how the law works, which is hilarious that only one side has to play by the rules but I digress. She is giving them the opening to show to the court the harm being done to specific people for her to rule differently.
