That was not my next point. It was not a shock collar, it was a big dog getting her dew claw caught on her bed and yelping. That's it.
I've had big, clumsy dogs. They are always hurting themselves and knocking shit over with their awkward appendages.
I appreciate your measured response, but just parroting the Hasan defenders' damage control narrative at me without anything else to back it up, is not at all convincing.
To be clear though, I think ICE supporters are rabid Zionists. Evangelical religion fills their mind with Zionist propaganda, particularly concerning the so-called "end times" and Israel's place in that sequence of events.
I just wish people would learn about these things from someone less shitty than Hasan. Cults of personality where thousand of rabid parasocial youths descend upon their hero's perceived enemies with personal attacks at the slightest provocation are bad, no matter which way they lean politically, and Hasan makes his living off it.
