Yeah there was a lot of wicked footage from that night.

I'm sure there'll be lots of similar footage that comes out from these tornadoes in the following days. Doorbell cameras and everything else have made it much easier for footage like this to be passively captured and discovered after the fact.

Pretty much my point. A lot of these war justification seems to lie not on an Internationally agreed definiton of invasion, but whether if you are allianced with the US or not. And "Internationally Recognised" is just who has power, not whether there's any ethical justification to it.

The West sends their military overseas to support a non-governmental faction-> Heroic democracy savers. Freedom fighters. Heroic murder.

Anyone else I disagree does it -> Terrorists and forces of evil that violate every single human right code out there.

I'm not saying anyone should be proud for killing others, but that there is some huge hypocrisy in that the West don't recognise their military endeavour of committing war crime isn't a war crime but simply a rewritten history.

Agreed, IDK if this is because of trump, or its just been growing over the years, but people are fucking dead, their lives uprooted and ruined because of a terrible tragic event. Then their are redditors who cant see past it being the south to even offer a momentary thought of compassion, and sadness for the victims.

The population of Rolling Fork has a median household income of 37k, a 16% poverty rate and is 80% black. These are poor people dealing with a disaster.

Maybe try having some compassion instead of just being judgy (kind of ironic isn't it?)
