I mean, votes are public in the fediverse. I wouldn't try to read into the reasoning from a single downvoter too much though.

One downvote could be accidental. 2 downvotes in the same thread makes that seem less likely.

Downvoting/Upvoting doesn't mean the same thing that it does for everyone. Some use it as an agree/disagree. Some use it for whether a comment is productive and adds to the conversation or not. Some use it as a visibility score whether they think a comment should be seen by others first or whether there are other comments that are better. Some may agree with most everything in a comment except for one part and then downvote because of that.

This isn't a problem that's unique to "capitalism". It's a monopoly problem. Even in other economy types this problem would exist. For example, with communism almost everything would be a monopoly.

A free market is supposed to provide us multiple options to take our business, but we need regulation to keep capitalism in check.

We do have laws against monopolies, and there is already a case against Live Nation/Ticketmaster:

The way to really fix this is through our legal system and representatives. We need to pressure our representatives to pass better laws to prevent this from happening again as well as electing officials who actual care about issues like this.

~~It might be better if you can link to the timestamp around where this takes place.~~

~~Especially considering that you just linked to a 7+ hour video.~~ Edit: just realized that you do have the start time in there. Looks like GrayJay only handles &t=____s instead of &start=____s

No problem! Thanks for the edit.

The only video I could find of events leading up to the shooting was this one (if you want to add on to the comment): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4qBLgk9hWw

Link to the actual video showing a bit of what was happening before the shooting:

It looks like that video is from a different incident.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Martinez was driving a silver Nissan Rogue (not a truck and not a Chevy).

In the video you linked, it looks like a Chevy is ramming the ICE truck.

Note: If you watch the video to the end you can see that the police lights are coming from the truck itself.

His lawyers from the Institute for Justice are currently looking for any other U.S. Citizens who have been detained or questioned by ICE while working.

Thanks! I definitely feel the same. I found it particularly wholesome to read through the comments of those that were donating here: https://www.givesendgo.com/helptheSanfordfamily

Yes, but this isn't a fundraiser that was started by the church (or with church funding) but rather it was started and donated to by the members themselves.

Anyone else see a video here? I just see a screenshot.

Yeah, the problem I'm seeing now is that everyone on the right is seeing the left's reaction. And now they don't care if the shooter actually was someone from the left or not.

The response they see is all they need to justify any reaction. Of course they're conveniently forgetting their own response (and Charlie Kirk's response) to Pelosi's attacker.
