  • I don’t think that matters at all tbh, defenses like those are only really relevant if there’s a case that goes to trial. According to the article not a single agent has been charged from killing someone. Not convicted, just charged with a crime. Including at least one example where the agent was clearly lying and just shot someone who posed no threat at all. That tells me that investigations are just not being done at all, they don’t give a single rat’s ass about accountability.

    Similar vibes to Storm (the incredibly powerful mutant with fully hideable powers who is worshipped as a goddess by some cultures) saying ‘we don’t need a cure, we’re perfect as we are’ to Rogue (the mutant who kills everyone she touches).

    The cry of Morgoth in that hour was the greatest and most dreadful that was ever heard in the northern world; the mountains shook, and the earth trembled, and rocks were riven asunder. Deep in the forgotten places that cry was heard. Far beneath the ruined halls of Angband, in vaults to which the Valar in the haste of their assault had not descended, Balrogs lurked still, awaiting ever the return of their Lord; and now swiftly they arose, and passing over Hithlum they came to Lammoth as a tempest of fire. With their whips of flame they smote asunder the webs of Ungoliant, and she quailed, and turned to flight, belching black vapours to cover her.

    It doesn’t actually say anything about how fast they got there. “In that hour” simply means “at that time” here. On the other hand, they travelled “as a tempest of fire”, which certainly implies magic and speed. Either way, with such inherently magical creatures as the Balrogs, saying that they cannot travel very quickly without flying seems somewhat naive.

    Good meme though, always appreciate something that makes me go back to the scriptures.
