- Extremely retarded thing to do during conflict, pointing anything in direction of soldiers and officers that has gunpowder in it. People might go "aaah it's just fireworks", but you can never tell and when it's their life or mine, I know which one I'd chose.

  Fuck off. When the troubles where on in northern Ireland the Brits and the ruc weren't shooting up prods when setting off fireworks and bonfires on the twelfth. But they targeted Catholics using whatever excuse they could think off. Israels doing the same shit, any excuse to kill people seen as less human.

  I guess all 12-year-old CHILDREN should have the same adult logic and thinking as your self-righteous know-it-all keyboard pawing monkey ass.

  Slurs are welcome on lemmy as long as we're talking about people that conservative Democrats want dead.

  I would assume most people who join for the first time are amateurs. That's what training is for.

  Compelling argument. You're clearly a beacon of nuanced and accurate political commentary. Go back to your hole, bot.

  As you rightfully said, kid, they are not known to make the best decisions. That's no reason to get murdered.

  It's either that or he just shot fireworks in the air at the start of Ramadan nowhere close to hitting any soldiers.

Destiny says that this doesn't count because it wasn't ordered by the president of the United States

- Who the fuck cares what that schlub thinks anyway? Seriously, how the fuck did this guy get so goddamn big and well known? He's a joke.

  I think they're being satirical. No one of any actual intelligence takes what Destiny says as truth.

  He was a mid StarCraft 2 player who said funny things when he got mad, I have no idea how it got to this. He was never funny on purpose, it was funny watching him be salty and now hes some political commentator.

How the hell are fireworks legal in Palestine? Like if they aren't illegal that blows my mind, they are illegal in my country and we aren't a war torn occupied territory. And if they were smuggled in, why?

This was not an innocent act. Nobody - I mean nobody - sets off fireworks in a war zone for funsies.
