And so, with the unjust killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, the quest for cosmic justice resumes — that is, the justice that settles all the scores of racial grievance for all time, which, of course, is unlikely to be satisfied by any means. Mr. Floyd was killed by police officer Derek Chauvin who knelt on Mr. Floyd’s neck for eight minutes with the full force of his weight while three other officers stupidly stood by watching and failed to intervene until Mr. Floyd was dead.

This time, there was no ambiguity in the killing, unlike the 2014 shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, that sparked a season of riots. Video from a bystander’s phone shows Officer Chauvin stupidly killing Mr. Floyd. The four policemen have reportedly been fired (NBC News), but no one has been charged yet. Two days of protests and nighttime riots have commenced in that city and are now spreading to cities around the country. With Memorial Day in the rearview mirror, you might say, as the old song goes, that summer’s here and the time is right for fighting in the streets.

It appears that the Progressive Left is all for letting it rip. Their chief signaling device, The New York Times, ran this headline today: “National Guard Called as Minneapolis Erupts in Solidarity for George Floyd.”

That sounds to me a bit like a stamp-of-approval for a lawlessly violent response to an act of official stupidity. Is The Times in solidarity with the mayhem? Which raises some questions: how much rioting, looting, and arson will be enough to satisfy that sense of solidarity in the quest for justice? Three nights? Three weeks? Three months? Will it cease if and when Officer Chauvin is charged with murder or manslaughter? How much rioting, looting, and arson will the authorities in other cities allow to rip before they move to forcefully stop it? Does all this disorder amplify itself in a feedback loop as it plays out?

Those would be tough questions in ordinary times, but we’re in an extraordinary convergence of crises that includes an unresolved Covid-19 pandemic, an unprecedented economic collapse, and the furious after-effects of a failed political coup that steeped the nation in delusion, institutional breakdown, and factional enmity. Black America is not the only group in the land that has an axe to grind.

For instance, with over 30-million suddenly unemployed, facing bankruptcy one way or another, maybe even eviction and hunger, and tens of thousands of small businesses failing, what will be the public mood if the stock markets keep shooting up and up and up, as they’ve been doing for a month? Those rising share values, which enrich a tiny percentage of the public, are a direct result of the Federal Reserve inflating the national debt by “printing” money-from-thin-air. It comes in the form of bonds, the interest on which ultimately has to be paid by taxpayers. Many will not fail to notice that it smells like a scam. Will the economically floundering public revolt against it? Will they take to the streets and start burning down things other than police stations and AutoZones?

Could all that intersect with black street violence in cities across the land? A hint was suggested in cable TV video of rioters on the streets in Minneapolis hoisting a sign that said “kill all white people!” The Progressive Left has indulged and excused sentiments like that for years. (Remember New York Times editorial board hire, Sarah Jeong, tweeting “#CancelWhitePeople” and “dumbass fucking white people”?) What if those maledictions are acted out? Does the Left, including the Democratic Party, want to ignite a race war in America on top of a second great depression in a plague year?

Once cycles of violence are set in motion, they are very difficult to stop. The animosities between different groups in the USA are not so different in character from what’s been seen in other places around the world in recent times: the strife in Northern Ireland, the breakup of Yugoslavia, the civil war in Lebanon, the factional fighting in Libya, Syria, Iraq. All of them grew out of quests for cosmic justice, and all of those conflicts produced lasting damage to the societies they inflamed.

Donald Trump may appear poorly suited to presiding over such a national crackup. Many will accuse him of instigating it. Whatever he does is liable to be construed as wrong by half the nation, whether he acts decisively to put down actual insurrection, or dithers inconclusively while cities burn. His Democratic rival, Joe Biden, appears even less credibly capable of managing a crisis. He is, in fact, a Potemkin candidate for president, a stalking horse for forces and persons mysteriously awaiting emergence in Milwaukee around mid-August. It looks like some people will have to start deciding some things.

    Exactly the tin foil hat may be on but it feels to staged and contrived with ready to go rioting.
    When in US history has a group of people been allowed to loot and burn an entire big box store with zero consequence?

    • Janos Skorenzy May 29, 2020 at 11:54 am #

      They let them burn a police station the other night. That was really dumb from our perspective but of course they have their own. Maybe they want martial law at this point.

      • shabbaranks May 29, 2020 at 12:02 pm #

        Good point. You’re playing three dimensional chess as usual. Either way, the good news is that the short political career of the idiot mayor of Minneapolis appears to be topping out.

        • draupnir May 29, 2020 at 2:35 pm #

          One can only be thankful for small mercies at this point. It’s not just Minneapolis now. Yesterday, it was reported that looters converged on Maplewood mall, way out in the suburbs. While closed, of course, it’s still holding plenty of goods. Unless they managed to hold them off, Old Navy has probably been emptied by now, and the poor nail salon will have to restock its entire supply of nail polish.Somebody has probably run off with the massage tables, and Cinnabon is closed, probably for good. I can, of course make cinnamon rolls much cheaper than the almost $6 they charge, but I don’t know what I’d do with so many cinnamon rolls. Barnes & Noble is probably still okay, unless they’ve torched the place. I live less than a mile from that site, and my mother is frightened. I wouldn’t have believed that the spark to set off all this tinder would land in staid, Minnesota nice, Minneapolis, and so early in the season, at that. The more violently they put this down, the more violently it will arise in other cities. What’s the over/under on Chicago or Detroit?

          Chauvin has been arrested. I doubt at this point things will settle down so soon. It’s the weekend after all, and the clubs are still closed. It occurs to me that the cops ran out of that station so fast they probably didn’t remove all the arms they had stored. The rioters might be better armed today. I wish they’d burn down the Minneapolis Fed.

          Both of my daughters live in St. Paul, the youngest only two blocks from the Target on University that was looted on Thursday. They both complain of sirens and helicopters keeping them awake all night, and they are both scared. My oldest granddaughter and my nephew live in Minneapolis, close enough to hear the flash-bangs and get the occasional whiff of tear gas if the breeze blows right. They have a ringside seat for the conflagration.

          I’ve been talking with my family about getting out of town. We have a place to go that’s more than a tank of gas from a city. They agree there may soon be a need, but I’m sure they won’t consider it until it’s too late. They all have jobs and are still being paid.

          • Hands4u May 29, 2020 at 2:54 pm #

            I am also in the area near Robert st. in W. St. Paul. Went out this morning already with the Wif and yes the police are patrolling and some shops with boarded windows but people were doing their Covid it’s gonna be OK’ routine. Got what we needed for the coming week. No escape pod for us; on furlough from the hospital until the curve flattens more and then back to working with people in pain.

          • draupnir May 29, 2020 at 3:21 pm #

            Hands4u, Our grocery delivery arrived this morning. I was relieved to get the meat. Last month I couldn’t find pork. I stock up for a month at time, always have, as that’s how I get paid. I hope you have a little extra put by in case things get more difficult.

          • Hands4u May 29, 2020 at 3:46 pm #

            My younger son is Vegan, and we are trying to move to a less red meat diet. He’s home from college and willing to make meals and high protein meat substitutes from scratch (which haven’t been too bad). That being said I miss grilling a nice steak every now and then. I have a few friends who left town, with their families, when the Covid became more prevalent. Many neighbors and friends staying made and donated masks to hospitals (Thank you!) Even though the masks are of limited use in of themselves; I believe they actually present the emotional desire of communities and individuals wanting to at least try to work together.

          • BackRowHeckler May 29, 2020 at 4:30 pm #

            Draupnir, Maplewood Mall, is that where the esteemed community member threw the little boy off the second story balcony? I believed the little one survived.

            Brh

            No, that was the Mall of America, in Bloomington, who can’t pay their mortgage anymore.

          • Hands4u May 29, 2020 at 6:27 pm #

            Just got a message from local police dept that more activity might be worse for Saturday. Recommending to stay home and stay aware/alert. And safe!

          • draupnir May 29, 2020 at 8:11 pm #

            Saturday! We still have tonight to get through. My older daughter is right in your vicinity. Please stay safe.

    • zone45 May 31, 2020 at 9:56 pm #

      When things go wrong with you that hurts me too.
      Raising children is very difficult. They sometimes do wrong.
      That must be corrected, immediately. And sometimes corporal punishment is the best way. Son number one broke the rules, started beating on his younger brother. You tell him to stop. Give him a warning and If he continues, he will be punished. So he keeps kicking his brother in the head, Now the time comes and you need to give him the belt. It hurts the father as well as hurting the child.
      but it needs to be done.

  2. Ishabaka May 29, 2020 at 10:31 am #

    The Democrats have made their brand the Party of Blacks. Blacks behaving badly is a bad advertisement for the Democrats, and a good advertisement for Republicans. If Democrat establishments like “The New York Times” want Joe Biden to win in November, they’d do well to end the riots as fast as possible.

    • shabbaranks May 29, 2020 at 11:55 am #

      Backlash will be seen at the polls. Kent State was 1970 yet Nixon landslide re-election was 1972. This will play out again despite the left’s brazen attempts at re-engineering the demographics of the USA.

      Great column Jim but it’s time for you to get serious and quit the Democrat party. I did. They are nothing but a fifth columN element any longer. A sad ending for them it is.

    • draupnir May 29, 2020 at 6:23 pm #

      Yeah, I just saw Floyd’s girlfriend on TV tearfully begging for there to be peace tonight.

      In another story, the police want to make mass arrests, but the bus drivers of MTC refuse to transport their prisoners and are standing with the protesters.

    • bluedog May 31, 2020 at 11:02 am #

      As we run around the world condemning this one or that one, for what ever it seems we are no better then they,we live a failed state as all indicators make very clear where the system caters to one class only.

      Wait until the unemployment runs out and then you will hear the cry burn baby burn, as both republicans and democrats take to streets of the cities, if I was one of the one percent or a politican I think I would check my life insurance to see if it was up to date.You ain’t seen nothing yet>!!!!!!!!!!!

    “Kill all white people”

    Nothing seems to have changed in the more extreme predilections of our most corrosive black culture…The 1960’s found the same sentiment evident.

    I will be questioned, and impugned for this comment…riots must be met with an iron fist…there are few noble, rational people in a riotous crowd. Pleas go unanswered. Common sense rarely evident. Apologies ALWAYS breed more, and usually more extreme, violence.

    The violence and wanton destruction will continue until heads are broken.

    Sorry.

    But…I have been there and done that.

    Beginning with the night MLK was shot.

    Count not on the humanity and mercy of the crowd.

    • Walter B May 29, 2020 at 10:56 am #

      So if a movement takes place to kill all those pesky white people and take all of their shit, unless Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Jeff Bezos and the like are the victims, those doing the killing are going to be left holding an empty bag. Of course it is a lot easier to take out your anger on someone within arm’s distance rather that be bother to go through the trouble of seeking out the real perpetrators. Besides, that are well removed and protected behind walls of sellouts in sunglasses with uzi’s even those they “detest” firearms. I suppose it doesn’t really matter anyway because one all the evil white people are dead the resulting new daily order is going to be payback enough for the miscreants. You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you may find, you get what you deserve!

    • zone45 May 29, 2020 at 11:04 am #

      Yes, back in the day Frank Rizzo, then police comish of Philly, later to become mayor, set up his task force with machine guns on roof tops on N.Broad street with order to shoot to kill during the MLK riots.
      He is on record as saying the he would out perform Attilla the Hun.

        Zone,
        That night when II was on the skirmish line all we did was dodge thrown bricks.

    • Janos Skorenzy May 29, 2020 at 11:57 am #

      Amen. God will know his own. That doesn’t excuse Mr Floyd who should be prosecuted rapidly as justice (not mob justice) indicates.

      • Elrond Hubbard May 29, 2020 at 12:20 pm #

        How darling for once to see you try calling for a lawful response to an outrage, Eyesore. Partial credit, though it’s not usual in these cases to call for prosecuting the victim. The perpetrator’s name is Derek Chauvin.

        • Janos Skorenzy May 29, 2020 at 12:40 pm #

          Yes, i got it backwards. Thank you for not twisted my words and only gloating a little.

      • draupnir May 29, 2020 at 3:35 pm #

        Thought it has been tried in the past, Janos, most notably by Pope Stephen VI. He dug up a predecessor and tried him before the Roman curia in the Basilica of St. John’s for crimes nobody cared about anymore. Even then, it was generally considered in poor taste to prosecute a corpse in propria persona.

        • Janos Skorenzy May 29, 2020 at 8:45 pm #

          During the Spanish Revolution, Priests and Nuns were executed then dug up weeks later and displayed with obscene signs.

          • draupnir May 29, 2020 at 9:35 pm #

            Interesting. However, they weren’t subjected to a show trial were they? I believe that on the guilty verdict, Stephen Vi sentenced Pope Formosus to the loss of a hand, which I doubt inconvenienced Formosus at all. I think Stephen VI had him then thrown into the Tiber.

          • Janos Skorenzy May 30, 2020 at 1:28 pm #

            No trial for the most part. Guilty of being Christian. Just as we are guilty of being White. You’ll get it later rather than sooner. I knew a family from South Africa: the Grand Dame never got it. But her husband, whom she dominated for the most part, got his family out of there before things got really bad. A quiet, intelligent man with a core of inner strength.

      • Helen Highwater May 29, 2020 at 3:43 pm #

        Excuse, but it’s Mr. Floyd who was murdered by a white police officer. A bit late to prosecute him, don’t you think?

        • Janos Skorenzy May 29, 2020 at 8:45 pm #

          You epitomize the classless society, Hel.

    • gonetohell May 29, 2020 at 12:14 pm #

      What must be met with an iron fist is the cold blooded killing of black men by cops, or hillbilly father and son teams allowed to carry guns. Trayvon Martin, Freddie Gray, Ahmaud Arbery, Eric Garner, and the list goes on and will continue to go on. I’m no fan of the black race but willful killing based on race just rubs me the wrong way. Our bigger problem is an ever more militarized police force that believes it operates above the law. Get a clue.

      • Elrond Hubbard May 29, 2020 at 12:24 pm #

        I second your diagnosis of militarized policing, gonetohell.

      • Janos Skorenzy May 29, 2020 at 12:43 pm #

        You’re not fan of the Black race, you just hate the White one. You would disarm us and let them savage us at will as was the case in the post Civil War South – until decent Men in the North and South put an end to it.

      • Gonga Din May 29, 2020 at 1:05 pm #

        As the last one to touch the victim the officer gets the blame, unless there was some EMT mischief in the back of the ambulance, but seeing Floyd turn his head from side to side under the officer’s knee suggests that his airway was not being crushed. Mogadishu, USA

      • BackRowHeckler May 29, 2020 at 2:10 pm #

        So what have we learned? AutoZones burn hot, and Community Members enjoy impromptu shopping sprees at Target. Seeing them ride out of Target thru smashed doors on stolen bicycles was positively hilarious.

        Hey Elrod what do you make of the fact that Minneapolis-St Paul is a big lefty stronghold, gay capital of the midwest, black police chief in Minneapolis, black mayor in St Paul, everybody a member of the Commy farmer/labor party? You f#kkrs need to go back to political science school, learn how to govern a city.

        • roccofire May 29, 2020 at 5:34 pm #

          I saw several YouTube videos of the bands of protestors, youths and one positive aspect of the Target store videos where, that many of those folks were wearing masks. The grievances are real, but I feel the political class both right and left( I think same The Man runs them both) have other agendas or distractions to maneuver. JAMES, awesome article, e.d. is picking up again.

      • elysianfield May 29, 2020 at 5:33 pm #

        gonetohell,
        Well said. The iron fist will destroy the cop guilty of whatever
        bad judgment that might have caused the outrage. The remainder of your comment is analogous to “all blacks like watermelon”…qualifiers, please?

        “willful killing based on race just rubs me the wrong way.”

        Interesting comment. Would you like to share with us the name of anyone on this site…ANYONE that would think otherwise? It is, forgive me, a platitude to state the obvious.

        “. Our bigger problem is an ever more militarized police force that believes it operates above the law. Get a clue.”

        Who believes they operate above the law? The cop just charged with a lesser count of murder?

        Yes, in Law enforcement, we call that a “clue”….

      • sophia May 30, 2020 at 11:38 am #

        Gone,

        Most of those cases you mention were hardly clear cut cases of black innocence.

        And by the way, white cops do not shoot blacks perps at a higher rate than they shoot white ones. That is an irresponsible myth promoted by the evil media.

        They want race war.
        Why?

  4. RocketDoc May 29, 2020 at 10:35 am #

    When I was pole vaulting in high school you had to clear the bar AND land on your feet in the sawdust pit but in college we had an air mattress and a big fan so you landed spread eagled on your back. If you turned off the fan it would take only a few seconds to leak out enough air to make a painful landing. Our economy is not composed of those trained to land on their feet. We have a fire hose of money creation to keep everything inflated but the widening hole of 40 million people asking for unemployment support suggests a painful landing despite the fan.

  5. Mountain gal May 29, 2020 at 10:36 am #

    While I find the murder, and that’s what it was, of George Floyd to be reprehensible, and sure hope to see the police officers involved charged with the crime, I find the knee-jerk response of outrage in the black community to be puzzling. Why do they only get upset if a cop or non-black person kills a black person but they don’t seem too bothered by the zillions of blacks killed daily at the hands of other blacks? Nearly all blacks murdered are killed by fellow blacks, not whites, Asians, cops etc. So why only the outrage for what are essentially outlier killings?

    And why does the NYT and its ilk not point this out? And why the tacit approval of the violent protests as you note?

    For that matter, why don’t liberal or MSM refrain from using the “Karen meme” to denote white women? Why is this ok? Would it be ok to use “Latoya” or “LaWanda” or “Latisha” etc as shorthand for black women acting a certain way? I think not. Why is it only ok if it’s applied to white women? And why do liberal publications not see the damage that will occur by their fanning of the flames?

      Yes and yes. Blacks simply aren’t very evolved and will always seek a scapegoat to put their sins on and sacrifice, emotionally, verbally, socially, legally (via affirmative action), or actually in terms of mob justice.

      Karen is a White meme. Black women tend more towards violent outrage. But sure, middle class Black women start getting into the Karen “consciousness”. Oprah tried to get clerks fired on two of her European trips. Once when she wanted to go into a store than had just closed.

      And who owns the media? A very select, small group who obviously wish America all kinds of harm. They promulgated rap from being a local phenomena to being the soundtrack for Kali Yuga.

      You ask: “why do liberal publications not see the damage that will occur by their fanning of the flames?”

      “the percentage of white women who voted for Trump was actually 47%, compared to 45% for Clinton. That’s still a plurality, and still makes white women more Trump-positive than the overall electorate, which supported Clinton by a 48%-46% margin. White women, who will again be a critical demographic group in the 2018 midterms, were considerably more pro-Trump than nonwhite women, who went for Clinton by a huge margin, 82%-16%. But it’s essentially a tie, which makes for a very different story than a 9-point margin for Trump.”

      White men voted very strongly for Trump, white women could not muster a majority for him. I suspect that the demonization of white women by types like Charles Blow, indicting them all as terrorists for calling police on black men, will drive this percentage over 50%.

      • Mountain gal May 29, 2020 at 1:25 pm #

        Just like to a hammer, everything looks like a nail, to Mr Blow, everything looks like racism. Of course he’s not aware that there’s such a thing as black racism…….

    • Elrond Hubbard May 29, 2020 at 12:38 pm #

      “Why do they only get upset if a cop or non-black person kills a black person but they don’t seem too bothered by the zillions of blacks killed daily at the hands of other blacks? Nearly all blacks murdered are killed by fellow blacks, not whites, Asians, cops etc. So why only the outrage for what are essentially outlier killings?”

      Mountain gal, I would suggest that people take someone being killed by a police officer rather differently than they do a killing by another citizen, whatever that citizen’s race.

      With great power comes great responsibility, as they say, and police are entrusted with the power to take life as part of their job. The issue is that many, many people perceive the police to be misusing that power, and that the misuse is targeted by race. That’s why comparing it against ‘black-on-black crime’ feels like a false dichotomy.

      • Janos Skorenzy May 29, 2020 at 12:47 pm #

        True, But they focus on it to the almost exclusion of their own internal problems. Thus we’re their scapegoats, the Devil in their System of Thought or Theology. As we are in the Liberal System. Thus the alliance remains strong. You continue to remain willing to sacrifice other Urban Liberals to Black savagery in order to maintain the alliance. No one can call you ideologically squeamish, that’s for sure.

      • Mountain gal May 29, 2020 at 1:28 pm #

        @ Elrond

        True, and it is why I deemed the killing of Mr. Floyd “reprehensible”, as we entrust the police with our very lives and this makes a travesty of our trust. I still want to know why blacks seems to totally avoid the issue of black on black murder and only get excited if a black is murdered by not just a cop, but anyone who’s not black.

        • Janos Skorenzy May 29, 2020 at 1:33 pm #

          Yes, and they will never protest for Whites the way Whites do for them. Their racism is fine while ours is the ultimate sin.

        • Elrond Hubbard May 29, 2020 at 2:15 pm #

          Mountain gal, I think the reason why they ‘avoid’ that issue is because it’s a non-issue, which some people like to deploy as a red herring. The category of ‘black-on-black crime’ adds no more to anyone’s understanding than, say, ‘Italian-on-Irish crime’.

          • Mountain gal May 29, 2020 at 3:07 pm #

            @ Elrond

            Why is it a “non-issue”? 2015 crime stats; blacks killed by whites- 2%, blacks killed by police- 1%, blacks killed by blacks- 97%. Yet all we ever hear of for protests/riots are the few instances when a black is killed by a white or a cop. And in no way am I forgiving unnecessary violence by cops on anyone. But still, all the protests the other day about the white father/son duo who killed the black jogger, all the news articles, etc. Was it terrible and racist? Well yes. But again, 97% of blacks are killed by other blacks and crickets………….a non-issue as you say…….must be….

          • SG-71 May 30, 2020 at 2:58 pm #

            The reason is that black perps generally get caught and generally get dealt with by the law. Whites who kill blacks, most especially white cops, are exonerated of the worst charges in a disturbingly large percentage of cases.

      It’s the same mentality with using the N word. They call each other nigger all the time. On the street, in rap lyrics, but white people aren’t allowed to use it. I do agree it was a murder and the three officers standing around doing nothing to stop it should be charged as accomplices.

    • woe May 29, 2020 at 5:10 pm #

      I am going to attempt to explain the reaction that people are seeing from my point of view of a black male that has lived some 60 years. I may need to offer a trigger alert, this will not be a popular post. I believe that an event like this was planned, not this particular event, but the dynamics fit the bill. The democrats (which I am a former member) knew they needed to do SOMETHING, ANYTHING to hinder the progress, perceived or otherwise of Donald Trump being reelected. They know that quite a few blacks are leaving the democratic party, and the one tried and true tactic that they use is around the time of major national elections is “all of the sudden”, police brutality is showcased on the MSM to show how racist the Republican party is and that the Democrats are the only party that will shield you from the dangerous racism you are subjected to every day. This is an appeal to EMOTIONS and FEELINGS. These two traits are primarily FEMALE in nature (I didn’t say exclusive, I said primarily). I would like you to ponder this next statement. A majority of the federal assistance that has gone to the black community in the past 50-60 years has primarily has gone to FEMALE headed households. In order to avail yourself to any assistance the federal government had to offer, THE MAN had to be excluded from the family unit. Black females took advantage of that assistance, because in most cases, the support was more stable and more lucrative than what the man could earn, in fact they were rewarded in many cases for fostering and increasing this family dysfunction. This attitude and way of thinking has been passed down from mother to daughter for generations, a man is only required to be a sperm donor after that, his participation in the family unit has been actively DISCOURAGED (although not his financial support). There was no one in the house that provided a FUNCTIONAL MALE role model that the boys could learn from on how to navigate the world as a MAN. There was no one in the home that provided discipline, self restraint, delayed gratification, applied logic to problems, fostered self reliance and independent thought. No MALE was there to teach the importance of emotional intelligence and continuous personal improvement. Since most black males are raised in female headed households, they only have a female to pattern their behavior after, since the girls have no functional, consistent MALE in order to model what a good man looks like, all she knows is dysfunctional men and that what she will continue to chose as a partner. We have thousands of years of evidence that there has NEVER been a successful matriarchy for any length of time. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan was 100% right decades ago, he warned about the behavior you are witnessing on your TV screens right now. The police should be prosecuted, but why burn your own communities down, that’s illogical but typical of black FEMALE modeled behavior that has been allowed for several generations.

        Well you are ranting but not threatening anyone here so I’d not worry about the popularity of your post too much.

          I grew up in Harvey, Illinois. I spent parts of my teenage years in the neighborhoods of Grant Park, Inglewood, and Roseland in Chicago Illinois. Lived part of my adult life in West Memphis AR and North and South Memphis TN. I’m quite sure that if you look up the demographics of those areas, you could see that they are are not the nicer areas of those regions of the country, they are as a whole quite dysfunctional and quite dangerous. What I stated above is my take of years of casual observation into the life of my neighbors and my relatives. I was lucky, the military, some good paying jobs and an education helped me escape most of the dysfunction I have observed over the years. Just my take on the situation at hand.

          • K-Dog May 29, 2020 at 7:54 pm #

            Thank you for that extra info. It helps understand what you wrote before better. Good you exscaped dysfunction and made a life for yourself.

            I have been to Chicago and I grew up in Minneapolis. Harvey is to Chicago what 38th Street and Chicago Ave, where the choking happened, is to Minneapolis. I can’t say I know about the area much because I was from the north end. Fridley to be specific. The MLPS St. Paul airport is on the south end of town which was the only thing that area had which I could not find closer. But the way our family got to the airport was by driving around the city and not through it. The north end equivalent was Columbia Heights which had a lot of Polacks who were very friendly.

            When MLK was shot I marched with my fathers church throught the area. All the churches marched the Sunday after he was shot for peace and all the good stuff. Maybe it was closer to downtown. It was a long time ago.

            There is much truth in what you wrote. We are all actors on a stage and we do well to withdraw to try and see what the cosmic audience sees. We would see that we are given many models to follow, good and bad and we follow them all. That is what people do. You see that too.

Also, I went to Thornton Township High School in Harvey, Illinois from 68 – 70. My folks, finally, came to the conclusion we had to leave. That area looks like a detention center now.

      • Billy Hill May 29, 2020 at 7:51 pm #

        Woe — I submit it’s not black female behavior but female behavior.

        “…why burn your own communities down, that’s illogical but typical of black FEMALE modeled behavior…”

        Women throw out the baby with the bathwater. Throw the china. It’s a simple fact of nature. I could offer countless anecdotes and at this point in my married life I make a joke of it with my wife but outbursts following an unpleasant exchange such as “you’ve ruined the whole vacation!” suffice as exhibit A.

        The deeper issue of what the welfare state has done to black family structure ( I think at one point in the 20th century more whites were born out of wedlock) is a topic for honest people to discuss, but good luck.

      • Mountain gal May 30, 2020 at 5:29 am #

        @ woe

        I mostly agree with what you have to say other than labeling certain behaviors as “female”. I fail to see why burning down the AutoZone store is a “female” behavior.That said, yes indeed, our system of providing benefits to families provided there is no man in residence is imo directly responsible for the disintegration of the black family and the resultant weak matriarchal family structure. Children need strong men in their lives who love their mothers, them and provide good role models. So much of what has gone wrong in black family culture I attribute to the totally misguided use of welfare funds which effectively banished black men from their family’s lives.

        Where do we go from here? How do we fix this? I have no idea. It’s a horror really. Something upwards of 70% of black babies are now born to single mothers. Yes, Moynihan was crucified for what he said but he was 100% correct in his cautionary message.

        The Democrats continue to present themselves as pro-black and the Republicans as a party of racist whites. The Dems(and Progressives) seem to think that handing out “freebies” is the way to buy the votes of blacks. Sadly this has been quite effective.

        So how does this get fixed? And I suspect this will only get “fixed” through the work of the black community itself; they don’t need more white people trying to “help” them. But I don’t know. What do you think?

        • SG-71 May 31, 2020 at 8:04 am #

          It’s “female” emotional thinking but with a male aggression overlay.

    When General Grant’s Union armies “liberated” the the plantations in Mississippi, the Yankees basically gave the “Freedmen” a choice of either fighting for the Union armies, or remaining on the plantations to pick cotton for the Yankees at gun point working for wages set by the new Yankee overseers. Much is made on the “History Channel” of the blacks fighting in Yankee armies as proof that the blacks “earned” their “Freedom”. This argument is erroneous since the role of slaves in Africa for over a thousand years was to either work as agricultural laborers or to fight as soldiers for the A-Rabs.

    The US Army today requires a minimum IQ of 80 for recruits, which most young black males in the “Hood” cannot meet. Not sure what you can do with them? In the pre-industrial economy, a worker with a very low IQ and a strong back was highly desired and prized because there were few machines. Back then, a worker with a high IQ was a huge pain-in-the-ass.

          • Janos Skorenzy May 29, 2020 at 3:54 pm #

            Well 100 is the White average. And since we know and care about the Truth, one would have to estimate well over 100.

          • Hands4u May 29, 2020 at 6:39 pm #

            And the scientific- “truth” is that IQ is determined by a test developed by a Caucasian Culture and Military based on German Military(Caucasian again and Racist) determination of what constitutes intelligence. And as you know this is primarily based on the speed of your ability to respond. And you know of course how valid this process is because you speak with authority since you have performed and given many of these exams/assessments for the past 20 years. (Sarcasm intended)

          • Hands4u May 29, 2020 at 6:44 pm #

            Yes, guilty. Whites created the concept of IQ, the test for IQ, and pretty much everything else. I admit Blacks are good at certain things, just not the things that make for Western Civilization. Glad we are on the same page about that.

Do I “waste” my vote on a third party candidate that seems decent, or pick the lesser of two evils?

      And the “activists” seem to be repeatedly telling Biden that they expect him to nominate a black woman as his running mate which is supposed to demonstrate their complete wokeness or now maybe atonement for the killing of Mr. Floyd. This would mean that whomever this woman was would become President. Not sure how that will fly with the greater DNC which clearly has their own idea of whom they want as VP.

            Janos,
            You might be more specific?

            I hate criminal behavior…I hate predatory behavior. I hate those that engage in such.

            A knee or boot to the neck has been used to silence arrestees who would play to a hostile crowd. Happens a lot in areas of…diversity.

    At this point, everything is a big mess. And when the lizard brain is activated in large crowds, it is wise to get the hell out of the way.

    But “a lawlessly violent response to an act of official stupidity” might be better rewritten as “a lawlessly violent response to an act of official lawless violence”. Kneeling on a prone and handcuffed individual’s neck until he’s dead goes well beyond stupid. Makes things a bit more clear in this case.

    In any event, for the bigger picture, the excitement has just begun.

    • SW May 29, 2020 at 1:51 pm #

      The cop knew he was killing the man or bringing him to the point of death. When a person kills or attempts to kill another person and the evidence clearly shows it, they’re a murderer. I know the rate of black-on-black murders is much higher but they’re not the police who are expected to obey the law. This was a shameful crime and, my guess — I don’t know — is this would have been covered up if it had not been filmed. If the police do not police themselves and purge the ranks of cops like this, then what little respect for law people have will be gone. When thugs are allowed full reign then the same principle of “bad money drives out good” will be seen here.

  13. teddyboy46 May 29, 2020 at 11:10 am #

    With all due respect to JHK. The autopsy report has not come back so the exact cause of death has not been verified. The D.A for Minneapolis has said other evidence indicates that there is no basis for a criminal charge against the police officers. I think that other evidence is the autopsy report. I would also like to point out that the leaning on the neck is established police procedure. One sees it on Live P.D all the time. I believe the Police Officer knew exactly how much pressure he was putting on Mr. Floyds neck.

    Mr. Floyd was ” Awfully Drunk and out of control ” These are the words of the store owner who called the police. Mr. Floyd had a long prison record. He was in Minneapolis to make a new start after being released from prison in Texas where he served time after being convicted of armed robbery . Where he held a woman at gun point while his he and his partner searched the house for drugs and money. Mr. Floyd was not a nice guy.

          I don’t blame you for hating Blacks. I sympathize, I just don’t approve of personal feelings interfering with police work.

          Jim from Florida thought it was kind of Jungian thing, with the Police taking on the role of the avengers of White honor, unbeknownst to themselves via the collective unconscious. Good theory but they kill Whites in the same ways and apparently, at a greater rate.

            Ok, keep the good ones and they have kids who are reversions to the norm and you’e right back to square one. You are denying race as a thing, focusing on individual character – very American and exactly what dooms us.

            Meditate on the Southern, Hate the Race but love the individual (if they are lovable. The Karen Cooper lady no doubt believed in loving Blacks as a race even while she was always really terrified of them and for good reason. Her unconscious knew better than her conscious self. Thus is the Northern, Love the race but hate the individual (because the love of the race was just ideological not real). You above policy is a Northern one. What can I say but, Repent?

      But yes, a middle aged man “starting over”. He starts his new life by petty forgery. Pretty common. They are a child or “custodial” race who will always require much supervision.

We may have a nation divided between those who care and others that are selfish and do as they please, and screw everyone else. It has been that way long before the corona hit this continent. All things considered, this is a long overdue reality check, and I believe that it will resolve rather nicely.

    The DNC fix is in, Hillary will be the nominee and is the Democrat’s best candidate to run in 2020 (no matter how much Republicans and normal Americans despise her). She has enormous power in the party, a large voter base, funding and DNC support to launch by far the best campaign.

    The powers that rule the US terrorist nation, the banking families, the Davos crowd, do not care one bit about the US population, which is why Trump is on his own. He’s not getting instructions how to proceed, because the owners don’t care. They might even consider the riots to be a form of entertainment. We watch thrillers, they watch US citizens killing each other, eat popcorn, laugh. Common citizens don’t concern them.

    I thnk we all know that the US is disintegrating, and this is part of the process. It’s what happens when the population believes all the lies the media presents. Nothing can make sense, there is no ability to critically think about anything at all. Our nation’s military is the #1 global terrorist machine, training, arming, paying,every homeless Wahhabi thug they can find to murder all across the planet, and keep the plunder they find on the corpses and in their squalid homes. And the US population doesn’t know this basic fact. Even our host rarely, if ever, mentions it. We are the United Snakes of Aterrorca. We deserve what we get. My two cents.

    Where the 3rd police precinct went up in flames last night is only 3 or so miles from some very ritzy areas of Minneapolis. Million dollar lake-front homes. Now we have a hot weekend coming up.

    There’s no way they will let these riots spread to those tony, rich, progressive neighborhoods. The national guard will put up barricades and gun turrets to keep those places safe. That’s where the taxes come from.

    My “favorite” part last night: an NBC reporter in front of the burning cop station next to a wild crowd with a flimsy blue mask on his face. That sums up this ridiculous country. Keep your safe distance! Should have called the cops and tattled that the gang-bangers were without masks.

    I do not disagree with Jim’s concerns or with the preponderance of today’s comments, but it is also true that there is a real issue causing incidents of this sort, and a solution is not hard to identify. As things stand, many cops who have gotten into their profession in the first place for the wrong reasons have gotten the message from TV, movies, and news reports, that it’s a not-unusual thing for a police officer to kill a citizen, that the citizen probably did something wrong, after all, and that the system will side with the cop. Every police chief in America should assemble their crew and announce the following: “If the actions of anyone in this room ever result in the death of a single citizen, regardless of the circumstances, the incident with be scrutinized with a microscope and there will be no presumption of police innocence until it is established that every detail of the arrest went exactly by the book. If you kill a citizen and your professional behavior was not above reproach, then you will not find me in your corner.” Don’t like this message? Okay – then watch your city burn.

    Kunstler’s narratives are showing yet again. First, give him his due: for once, he accurately diagnoses police murder of civilians as a bad thing. It’s unfortunate that it took an example as grievously flagrant as the death of George Floyd to get him there, but JHK has now arrived at that particular conclusion, or been carried there by events.

    But having reached that crossroads, which path does he take? There are two available, broadly speaking, and Kunstler takes the one that easily could be predicted: he condemns the protesters and rioters for their reaction to this latest outrage — which is not the first, but only the most recent and blatant in a long, dismal history of such outrages. He spares not a word for the other possible interpretation:

    – that American policing is visibly pathological — treating some parts of the U.S. population as needing protection, while others need to be protected against — and has been so from its origins;
    – that many people, notably Colin Kaepernick, Black Lives Matter, and a wide range of commentators across the racial spectrum, have spent the last few years calling loudly and insistently for something to be done about it;
    – that they have been ignored and derided, even slandered as a violent threat (particularly on Fox News);
    – that as a result, the pattern has been allowed to continue; and
    – that the latest events are the completely foreseeable, and foreseen, consequences of the above.

    Kunstler’s concluding words are also telling: “It looks like some people will have to start deciding some things. He’s too mealy-mouthed to be direct about it, so I’ll spell out what that seems to mean: Kunstler wants government to respond to citizen protests against government violence with even more violence. Beatings are to continue until morale improves, in other words. That should end well.

          https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/500159-trump-seeks-to-explain-looting-leads-to-shooting-tweet-that-sparked

          Trump may deny this is what he intended. Donald Trump says lots of things. Anyone with the least sense understands that what he says has nothing to do with truth or falsehood, only with what serves Donald Trump in that moment. Meanwhile, millions of people are nodding their heads in agreement with him, and some of those, including police, will take his words as their personal go-ahead — no matter what denials he makes afterwards. That’s the responsibility that comes with high office. Trump’s tweet may be the single most irresponsible utterance ever from a U.S. president.

          Meanwhile, police are already behaving like this:

          It seems that you are predisposed to see racism and injustice in every US incident. Is there no room for stupidity, bad judgment, bad intent? People do bad things. People are sanctioned for bad things. You never question the motive, nor the actions of the victim.

          Must be different in the frozen wastes you inhabit.

      – that American policing is visibly pathological — treating some parts of the U.S. population as needing protection, while others need to be protected against — and has been so from its origins;
      – that many people, notably Colin Kaepernick, Black Lives Matter, and a wide range of commentators across the racial spectrum, have spent the last few years calling loudly and insistently for something to be done about it;
      – that they have been ignored and derided, even slandered as a violent threat (particularly on Fox News);
      – that as a result, the pattern has been allowed to continue; and
      – that the latest events are the completely foreseeable, and foreseen, consequences of the above.

      Elrond,
      Arguably 100 million police-citizen contacts a week, and you come to these conclusions? It is a man bites dog scenario. Shit happens. The frequency of occurrence regarding these issues is, statistically, insignificant, considering our demographic.

      Rejoice in your relatively homogeneous population. Your civil culture.

      • sophia May 30, 2020 at 1:49 pm #

        It’s the liberal bias that frosts me. It’s not that I don’t think some police are bad or that very poor judgment happens, but turning it into a race issue is dishonest and dishonorable. On another blog, a self-righteous white actually said that Amy Cooper in the park-dog incident should not have called the police because it was a black man (the police might hurt him) and someone else accused her of wanting him to be killed by the cops!!!!!!!!

        That is morally inexcusable. And by the way, during their altercation, when she said she would call the police, he said three times, “Yes, Please call the police.”

        So how damned scared was he of the police? Not at all.

        • elysianfield May 30, 2020 at 6:20 pm #

            The incident that I remember reported was on Lake Merritt, in Oakland…involving picnicking in an area prohibited, so the Karen called the police…was reported even on the BBC, so you might be correct in the dog incident. My bad.

      @ Elrond

      It is quite acceptable to protest an injustice.What burning stores, the police station etc and looting has to do with protesting an injustice is beyond me. In my opinion, the “protests” were allowed to go on for too long and to an extreme beyond reason. Tell me, would MLK have suggested that the protesters go loot the Target or burn Autozone? I think not. Can you imagine the powerful presence of thousands of peaceful protesters assembling in a silent vigil?

      Your “support” for the black/minority community seems to me to be nothing short of “virtue signaling”. I’m sure it makes you feel all warm inside and noble. Have you ever stopped to consider if the actions you are supporting because you are ever so “woke” are actually beneficial to the black community in the long-run?

      • Janos Skorenzy May 30, 2020 at 1:35 pm #

        Look deeper. MLK was a Communist and they are all for violence. Violence followed King wherever he went despite his official pronouncements. His non-violence was tactical, nothing more.

    • sophia May 30, 2020 at 1:41 pm #

      Elrond,

      It is a very serious thing to accuse people of murder. The police departments keep very accurate statistics. Per capita, in the commission of the same types of crimes, white people are shot by police at least as often as blacks. You take a media which shows only one side and it is not surprising that people become furious. But it isn’t true. Yet you want it to be true. That is evil. Simply evil. Because the fallout of this false belief will be much more violence against completely innocent people, and it will set back race relations a long way.

      And by the way, people DO need to be protected from one another! That is a huge part of what the police do. I think everyone knows this. And black people need that protection even more, as more of this violence happens in their neighborhoods.

      Why is it that in every case like this the black person is always a criminal? I’m not saying it is a justification, but this man was a career criminal and resisting arrest. The last one tried to take a gun away from the person who shot him. Stupid move.

    Back in pre-industrial America, the ideal agricultural worker would be someone with a strong back who could work long hours in the sun with an IQ slightly above the IQ of a horse or a cow. For a small group of workers, such as the artisans, you’d need a worker with a higher IQ. But for most workers to work in the fields you’d want a group of workers that you could manage like livestock.

    • zone45 May 29, 2020 at 3:14 pm #

      spend a day working in the field, under the hot sun, bending over and hoe that row, then lift that bale. Not much fun. You do not have to have a high IQ or even remember the words to the work song.
      Just get out there and do the job. Yet their are human beings out their doing it every day, to put food on your table. And if you run out of fuel, then you run out of life energy and you will perish.

    So, we have now an orgy of Negro crime which will probably end up with more dead people? Soft responses to rioting don’t work and ultimately give excuses for the same thing down the road. The only response is to stamp it out at the beginning under martial law. Everytime and everywhere when authorities react slowly this happens, as it does in France when Muslim “youths” go wild in the street as recently when one of them crashed his motorbike and the ghetto rose up in fury blaming the police and you had millions in destroyed property and a lot of injured cops.
    It appears the cop who knelt on the man’s neck is feloniously liable and needs to go to prison, but the rioting is inexcusable.

      People riot because they feel completely alienated. They feel that the city and the country that they live in is not their own and that it is completely hostile to them. Until this dynamic changes, Europe and the US are very likely going to look like this: https://youtu.be/qp4YV5WJysw

        Akmofo,

        You may be right that they feel alienated, but that is mostly because we have a criminal (treasonous) media who deliberately lie and misrepresent the true situation while in the universities the students are trained to carry a grudge. Unless their lives are absolute heaven on a platter, it is the fault of white people and they should be resentful.

        • akmofo May 30, 2020 at 3:10 pm #

          You’re right, Sophia, but there’s much more to that. As James correctly observes, there’s the issue of alienating and deformed architecture and urban planning. There’s the issue of thug criminal policemen. There’s the issue of corrupt criminal politicians. There’s the issue of a corrupt and thoroughly rigged political process and system. There’s the issue of commie subversion in the judiciary. There’s the issue of commie subversion in the academia. There’s the issue of commie subversion in the media. There’s the issue of commie subversion by the giant corporations, their NGOs and Foundations. There’s the issue of commie economic predation by the giant corporations. There’s the issue of commie economic predation by the taxation system and the issuance of money. There’s the issue of pervasive moral corruption, thievery and hucksterism throughout all economic and social strata in the US. There’s the REAL issue of racism and segregation in the US.

          The US is a Vatican slave plantation where everyone dislikes everyone else. Deliberately refusing to acknowledge and see the machinations of the Vatican mafia and their agents as the source in all of the above, will only prolong and exacerbate the situation.

            They’re called ghettos.

            White ghetto. Black ghetto. Asian ghetto. Mexican ghetto. Jewish ghetto. Italian ghetto. And on and on. Every community with its ghetto.

            I stayed in Philadelphia for two weeks and walked the city from end to end. It’s the same in Miami. It’s the same in LA. It’s the same in NewYork. It’s the same everywhere in the US.

            When I was in Northern California I didn’t see a single black person. Same in Utah. Same in Arizona. And visa versa, when in the Washington DC hood, not a single white person to be seen.

            Maybe you’re used to this nonsense, but I’m not. It’s the first thing that struck my eyes. When I walked the black ghetto they looked at me as though I was a Martian. They couldn’t comprehend what I was doing there. They never saw a white person venturing into their hood.

      “”“The only good nigger is a dead nigger”.”

    Racism is only possible when two races occupy the same territory. In Nature, two different species who occupy the same ecological niche, will not be found in the same space, typically. If they do, there will be conflict as per Lions and Hyenas, or closer to the human model, warring prides of lions or clans of chimps.

    Imagine the Peace of an all White America or even one where we were clearly the dominant race. The former is preferable of course, but even the latter is infinitely better than what we have now. And what we have now is in turn far better than where we are going which is either Bosnia times Rwanda or Totalitarianism enforced via Medicine.

    • benr May 29, 2020 at 12:46 pm #

      How does one explain warring tribes of the same race?

      • Janos Skorenzy May 29, 2020 at 1:01 pm #

        Race is more than skin, much more. Combatants of the same general type end up joining together. Clans become Tribes and Tribes, Nation. To use the image of the giant statue in the Book of Daniel (I think), metal can be grafted onto metal since they are similar substances. Thus the Mongol and Manchu assimilated well into China since they were of a similar racial type. As has been said, ferocious horsemen (Mongol) or giant swordsmen (Manchu) would then spend the rest of their lives trying to become Chinese Gentlemen, trying to win the approval of some tiny, old Calligraphy master, the hands that grasped the sword so confidently now uncertain and sweaty as they hold the brush.

        At the bottom of statue, the remaining metal is joined with mud. They cannot bond in any strong way….

            Maybe well established women didn’t want to go to new lands (like Iceland) to face such hardships. And those that would might not be top of the line if you know what I mean. But among the Irish, they got to pick the best ones to take with them.

        Helen,
        Where there is prey, there are predators. There is little in the way of vacuum in this equation. There is no “peace” in nature. Nature is violent, brutal.

        Civilization, on the other hand, is man’s attempt to overcome the jungle, the predator/prey paradigm, the constant fear. Works in some venues…in some other, not so much.

        Police, like it or not, are charged with maintaining civil discourse. Difficult in areas, such as our inner cities, where the predators are many. Constant conflict in the best of times. The ghetto is much closer to “Nature” than would be comfortable to admit.

    • sophia May 30, 2020 at 2:03 pm #

    All physical manifestations in the realms of politics, economics and religion are a reflection of the people’s spirituality. After two impeachments and a needed one declined, we observe the fall of the American judicial system which in turn is part of the collapse of “Mystery Babylon”.

    The Democrats argue that the people [ the majority ] did not want their president [ Clinton ] impeached and as a democracy we made the rules and we can change the rules. Republicans argued that we are supposed to be a nation of law and if the Chief Lawyer is able to circumvent the law it will undermine the entire legal system. The conservatives find themselves on the defensive with only man-made laws to fall back on. Any time Man legislates a statute, policy or rule, he has an equal power to repeal it, thus the conservatives find themselves in increasingly untenable situations. Their position is exposed as just another form of humanism, where man is god [ lawmaker ].

    There is actually only one “Party”. The members of the conservative side resist change, being enamored with past errors, while the other side prefer new innovations which are really very old concepts with new names.

    Our “Founding Fathers” by drafting a constitution took us away from the Creator God’s constitution [ the commandments, statutes and judgements ] constructing a federal republic which, because of its makers, was imperfect. While it is the best system ever devised by the mind of Man, after a couple centuries of experimentation evil men have found and exploited the loopholes, and we now find ourselves in a dictatorship ruled by presidential decree with an appearance of liberty, and our precious constitution ignored. Making people forgetful while putting ungodly men over us who say one thing and do another is punishment.

    God has allowed Man to rule himself in every conceivable manner to make it obvious that we [ as groups ] are incapable of a just self-government. Our chastisement will not cease until we repent [ change mind ]. Humanist fallacies and blunders will increase until God’s people ask Him to intervene. The systems of man-made governments, laws, and social order are ending.

    As we enter the Seventh Millennium of man’s history, God is declaring a rest for the earth; a rest from the bondage of chaos merchants who exercise their political, economic and religious shenanigans at our expense. As we enter the darkest hour just before dawn, prophetic events will cause those who do not know what God is doing to lose hope. Those who are not listening, in a personal way, will have fear instead of faith and many will stumble.

    “But ye brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are the children of light, and children of the day… therefore let us not sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober.” As Mystery Babylon falls, our Redemption draws near, keep your head up.

    Is it my imagination, or does the author seem to be more upset about “progressives” than he is about the murder of a black man by a white police officer?

      Because the former will lead to the end of the United States if it continues. One can call for justice without calling for genocide against the White Race. Why do “Progressives” give the green light to this? Because they’re Communists and they want chaos and the overthrow of America and the West.

      • benr May 30, 2020 at 10:00 am #

        Odd how the progressive idiots signal it, all but say it, then deny it.
        Much like the famed Waco attack with tear gas as the bull horn announced this is not an attack while the tanks busted through the walls trapping people and ultimately allowing them all to burn to death.

  31. fugeguy May 29, 2020 at 1:10 pm #

    I think the stats bear out that white males are more often the victims of police brutality. Funny how facts and data only matter when they support your position.

    I don’t see this as racial at all. Just a bad cop. He was married to an Asian women. I don’t see that the moves of a white supremacist.

    Recently (last year) I was in a brew pub and some 20 somethings (all white and one Asian) got at it and the cops showed up. Here is a rough quote from the black police officer, “Hey there white boy ain’t nobody gonna say nuthin if I light your white a s s up. So watch it.”

    The point of all this being that this is an orchestrated event. It is not about race and is just low talent community theater designed to shuttle my power into the hands of government.

      • K-Dog May 29, 2020 at 1:54 pm #

        They’re spending too much time on conspiracy theory websites. It is called Fox news and the One America Network or something like that.

        I don’t know why you call it a conspiracy. Nobody hides the deception. It is in the open for all to see. People don’t want to look at real news because looking is uncomfortable. Media gives them what they want. Deception. Can we admit the truth?

        An openly racist president sits in the White House where his abhorrent treatment of women of color is obvious. A man with issues tries to pass a bad check and police are called. Strange kabuki theatre results and the man with issues dies at the knee of another man with issues.

        The anger of those left out of an America which ignores common needs then erupts. People are imitation machines. The two absolutely are connected. Anger would not be burning down stores if people did not know they are getting screwed. The highest office in the land sets an example of unearned riches and presides over a fire sale as lives and the future of the American people is sold away and written off.

        As usual people are burning down the wrong things. That is why nothing ever gets better.

        As far as conspiracies,

        There are way too many coincidences and coordinated reactions not to have a common thread tying them together.

    • K-Dog May 29, 2020 at 1:33 pm #

      No pride, or guts, that is the things from which you get the sense of purpose.

      Trump has plenty of pride, just ask him. Pride comes before a fall. Having guts is a rare condition which requires belief and values to stick to and hold up. You are confusing guts with arrogance and a sense of deranged entitlement. They are quite different things but from a distance they can look almost the same. America is saturated with a sense of deranged entitlement.

      Believing in foreign agents is a lot more comfortable than admitting that some things need to be changed around here. I understand.

    Has anyone ever been presented or found the actual Treaty that ended the Civil War?

    Has the US/A been under martial law, since?

    Would you, after 100+ years even know it, if it were?

    Leiber Code “Article 1.

    A place, district, or country occupied by an enemy [e.g. Washington] stands, in consequence of the occupation [in every State with a military base], under the Martial Law of the invading or occupying army, whether any proclamation declaring Martial Law, or any public warning to the inhabitants, has been issued or not. Martial Law is the immediate and direct effect and consequence of occupation or conquest.”

    See the rest at https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/ominous-convergence/ and see if this sounds a faint bell for you ears, off in the distance, but yet still audible in you time.

    If I try to access my website from a Target Store I get a message ‘This website blocked for hate and racist content.’

    I have know this for a few months. I’d do some surfing on my phone at the Target coffee stand in their Renton store while Mrs. Dog walked the isles is how I know. I thought to get it straightened out but after being on hold with Target customer service and a few Target managers for an hour I hung up the phone. I decided not to try again since I am the only one who ever looks at my website from a Target store. I do not want to wast another hour.

    My website I suspect is blocked for ‘Hate and Racist Content’ on all sorts of public networks. Why Target? No, it has to be everywhere.

    Your tax dollars at work. Homeland security put the block on me. I don’t have hate and racist content on my website unless we talk Trump and for him I have no racism because I’m not racist. For him I have only disgust.

    The guys that wrote “The Fourth Turning” predicted this in 1991.

    This skepticism that big, bold solutions will come from the Trump administration is shared even by Bannon, a fairly reliable defender of the president’s since he was pushed out of his role as White House chief strategist in August 2017. In an interview, Bannon said that the administration never took seriously the possibility that a catastrophe like the coronavirus could strike, which has led to a failure of imagination in dealing with the problem.

    “You had a called shot in the beginning of this administration, and nobody paid attention to it,” he said. Bannon was a promoter of the crisis theories in “The Fourth Turning” when he was at the White House.

    “I got mocked and ridiculed by so many people. They said: ‘You can’t believe in this stuff. It makes you look like a kook,’” he said. The doubters included the president, who told Bannon that the theory was too dark for him. “He said, ‘I’m an optimist.’ I said: ‘I’m a realist. And this is reality,’” Bannon recalled.

    Bannon said that instead of coming up with new programs to deal with the millions of people who may never get their old jobs back, the White House and its conservative allies were falling back on the kind of stimulus policies they purport to loathe.

    Where were all the conservative businessmen who have insisted that the government get out of their way, Bannon asked? “I saw them all, once again, run to the government for bailouts,” he said.

    Writing in 1997 in “The Fourth Turning,” Howe and Strauss warned that after the 2020 crisis, the party in power at the time “could find itself out of power for a generation” akin to the 1860 Democrats and 1929 Republicans.

        They want what they want and pride thmeselves on their ability to lie to get it. That is what a real man is in this shitstorm. Men are imitation machines. The tradgedy is that there are some things that can’t be imitated. Good character being one. A desire to be accountable for your actions. There are many things that can’t be imitated.

        Those officers who stood by while George Floyd was choked are going to be haunted for the rest of their lives for not stepping up to ensure that he be cuffed appropriatly. I’ve been around long enough to know I’d not want to bring that Karma upon myself and especially over a thevin dirtbag. I would have stepped up. I don;’t have any doubt about it. None, writing that last sentence made me rember the last time I did step up and stop abuse. It was about a year and a half ago.

        A rent-a-cop was dealing with a homeless woman who was being escorted ‘off the premises’. He was way way way over the line and I had to step in between them and tell him to leave her alone.

        I said, The next time you touch her I am going to punch you in the face. I was looking at him straight in the eye and he looked me over good. Then he looked at the car I had just stepped out of. He paid more attention to the car and I think perhaps he concluded that maybe just maybe I might be able to afford lawyers if push came to shove.

        He backed down like the bitch he was. She said ‘Thank you sir’ and she was gone.

        For real. Good the officers were fired. They should have crossed the blue line.

    “And so, with the unjust killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, the quest for cosmic justice resumes — that is, the justice that settles all the scores of racial grievance for all time, which, of course, is unlikely to be satisfied by any means.”

    Exactly, Jim. That’s why the conflict and chaos between the races will continue until they are separated. Even then, ways will be found by the ‘racially’ maimed to settle old scores. And the brain’s anatomy and operation themselves, the amygdala, the thalamus, etc., the so called reptilian brain, signals foe (fight or flight) much more strongly than friend.

    Trump’s blundering on the Covid virus is being diffused by his attacks on China, Scarborough, Twitter and the Thugs of America.
    He came out strong today on China. Smartly avoided questions about the Floyd killing, but previously fired the RPG loaded with ‘looting and shooting’ right into the maw of the milquetoast Left.

    Trump may be back. Law and order may not sell like sex, people may not crave it as much, but they do want it. And they do want a leader. He has some time to spin himself into the Savior, cast himself into a credulous concrete commando.

        Look at 2016. There’s always a chance. A lot of variables are in play not the least of which are Biden, voter turnout, path of the virus, mail in ballots, etc. Would Trump benefit from a civil war?

      • K-Dog May 29, 2020 at 7:28 pm #

        No, circumstance reach a crittical mass and then the slightest thing is like a lit match flicked into dead dryleaves. Random circumstances are sparks which will cause inferos to rage.

        Think of the Cuban revolution. A small number of men took a whole country because the people wanted change. Batista cared about Cuban people the way Trump cares for Americans. was

        Conversly if circumstances have not created conditions for mayhem and bellies are full, not all bellies but enough, all the plans of mice and men could not get people to care a whit for change.

        Russiagate was bad mojo but people would have liked to see Trump go. Now all we have are frustrations and the beginnings of a summer where black lives are going to matter. A lot.

    Once, when we were young, the apologists for big.gang.guv collectivists used to cry out in anguish – “Freedom has had it’s chance and failed. Time for dictatorship.”

    Seeing how there’s never been a truly free society, and the Bad Orange Man has illuminated how truly evil our rulers are, I think it’s time for us normies to adopt on or all of this tripartite slogan:

    “The Dimocrats have had their chance (as a party) and failed.”

    “Dimocrazy has had its chance and failed.”

    “GuvMint itself has had its chance and failed. Hang ‘em high!”

    If you want to know how and why we got here.

    (Bloomberg Opinion) — Fairness is a theme running through the writings of Michael Lewis, our second guest this week on Masters in Business, and author of bestsellers such as “Moneyball” and “The Big Short.” Because fairness is critical in sports, Lewis developed a podcast, “Against the Rules,” now in its second season, drawing on some of the parallels between sports and life.

    He says podcasting allows him to exercise a very different set of muscles from writing. He works with an ensemble to help tell different stories in a different way. The first season of the podcast was about referees while the second season, now underway, is about coaches.

    Lewis also sees analogies between sports and government. His most recent book, “The Fifth Risk: Undoing Democracy,” looks at what happens when the leaders of various government departments don’t show up to begin their jobs — ever.

    Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who was appointed head of the Trump transition team after the 2016 election, created a set of tools to help the president-elect assume management of the federal government and its 9.1 million employees. It is required by the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 (updated in 2015), legislation that establishes the formal mechanism for the orderly transfer power after a presidential election.

    Alas, in 2017, it was not meant to be, and Donald Trump fired the entire Christie-assembled transition team. The result is that there are thousands of government positions still unfilled, including key posts at the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which perhaps accounts for the U.S.’s chaotic response to the coronavirus pandemic. Lewis describes the transition as a unique failing in presidential history, a refusal to discharge legal obligations in an intelligent, coherent way. Hence, Lewis says, the U.S. as presently governed is “uncoached.”

He would start with a few good men. After a while, he would tire of them and he would put in his yes men. Then something terrible would come to our door, and all the yes men would agree with Trump, every single golden syllable. And the country would go to hell. And that’s where we are.

    I have a new theory to explain the curious behavior of officer Derek Chauvin.

    But before I get to it I have an observation to ask about. In all the video of the event I have viewed, George Floyd is either standing up, or face down on the ground; where is the video of him being taken down to the ground, because I have not seen it?

    Does it exist?

    Was it cut from the original video in order to give the appearance he did not resist arrest?

    Did he resist arrest?

    Or did he collapse/fall to the ground?

    Anyway my theory on Chauvin’s behavior is,

    he got caught up in a grudge match of sorts with the “civilians” witnessing the arrest, and the more they asked Chauvin to ease up on Floyd, the more Chauvin resisted doing so; to the extent that Floyd became a type of prop of sorts in a grudge match between two groups of people, the arresting officers VS the witnessing civilians.

    The more the civilians ask/told Chauvin to get off him, the more entrenched Chauvin became in his “you don’t tell me how to do my fucking job, I’ll show you…!”

    Chauvin got so caught up in this grudge match that he killed a man without really intending to?

    His intent was to demonstrate his power and authority, not to Floyd, but to the black people watching the arrest, as a warning to them: “see, look what our blue gang can do. We run these streets and don’t you fucking forget it… (cough, niggers)”

    Unfortunately, in the process, he forgot that the man he pinned to the ground with a knee on his neck, who was formerly gasping for air and crying out for his mama, had gone strangely silent and limp.

    So,

    according to my theory, if this arrest had taken place away from witnesses, George Floyd might be alive today? Because the death of George Floyd may have had nothing to do with George Floyd, and EVERYTHING to do with “sending messages” to the people witnessing it?

    Finally, regarding the charge of attempting to use a counterfeit $20 bill?

    Well, unless it was really obvious, its not really a crime to be in possession of a counterfeit $20 bill. I don’t study every federal reserve note I get, and even if I did, Im not sure I could tell the difference VISUALLY, since they make changes all the time?

    Especially with the $100 dollar bills. I would probably be tipped off more by feel than by sight?

    Regardless, I get all my currency from some other person/machine; just like everyone else; so the fact George Floyd may have been in possession of a fake $20 bill is no PROOF he was engaged in criminal activity; but that he may have been punked by the person who passed it to him?

    Either he produced it, or he was PAID with it by someone else?

    I tend towards the latter; if its true at all that he tried to pass a fake $20?

    I will end with this question: If you found yourself alone, in an elevator with officer Derek Chauvin, and you could only ask him one question; what one question would you ask him?

    • Janos Skorenzy May 29, 2020 at 9:11 pm #

      If you look around in historical photos, Laundromat, you can find pictures of Mussolini standing at podiums, with his head thrown back, and a look on his face that reminds me of someone we all know. In fact, I never paid much attention to Trump until he was elected. When I saw a picture of him on the podium, the first thought I had was, “Jesus, he looks just like Mussolini standing there. If you take a photo of each one, and place them next to each other, the resemblance is uncanny. I suspect the mentality of each one of them was the same, especially when it came to public adoration. You understand of course, the Trump cultists will deny any similarities between the two, but check it out. Let me know what you think.

            The offense to the dignity of the nation may be every bit as bad as what we can expect from Trump. At the end of four years Biden or Trump the rich man will have everything and there rest of America won’t have two nickles to rub together.

    It is my personal opinion that the people that rule, like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos and rest of Those Who Rule ALL need the law enforcement people to keep those who have no hope from ever acting up to a point that they threaten the uber secure lifestyles of those that have it all. If those who rule throw the occasional asshole cop who crosses the line to the crowd for justice, it would cause the rest of the LE people to question whether or not their futures are secure. If our masters throw one of us out to dry, they may throw us all out for retribution they think, IMHO. Frankly I don’t get it. If you have a bad apple in the barrel, toss it to the hogs.

    Once cycles of violence are set in motion, they are very difficult to stop. The animosities between different groups in the USA are not so different in character from what’s been seen in other places around the world in recent times: the strife in Northern Ireland, the breakup of Yugoslavia, the civil war in Lebanon, the factional fighting in Libya, Syria, Iraq. All of them grew out of quests for cosmic justice, and all of those conflicts produced lasting damage to the societies they inflamed.

    I’m liking this. Bad wheels can get enough momentum up to turn themselves. A social train wreck where destruction produces yet more destruction until everything is destroyed.

    In Atlanta, mobs are at the gates of CNN Headquarters.

    Ahahahahahahahahahahaha!

    Maybe they’ll burn that gaddam place down too.

    Not clear who exactly they’re protesting against in Minneapolis. The lefty Farmer- Labor Party runs the whole show, top to bottom. The party essentially exists to serve blacks.

    One of the best parts of the riots so far is the looter running around with the Somali flag LoL. That’s gonna be hard to top

    Life was getting pretty freaking dull sitting around worried about the Corona virus.

    Oh, and some of the rioters threatening to bring the festivities out to the suburbs, where “we’ll f#kk you up white mtherf#kkrs”. That’s what the man said.

      Observations

      No Anti-Trump signs?

      The majority of the “protestors” are White.

      Lots of Antifa thugs present, many from out of state.

      Police and National Guard backing down.

      This is the beginning of the have/have not revolution in the country.

      Triggered by a government putting restrictions on the have nots AKA Coronavirus shutdown.

      People will not go quietly into the economic night. Will the law enforcement types get control? When do the Elites jump ship? When they do, watch out.

        Looks much like the color revelation’s that soros funded all over the world not so long ago.
        This play book has been played out for so long and yet somehow it works.

        https://www.attac.hu/2017/06/george-soros-open-society-foundations-and-their-role-in-color-revolutions/

        Firstly, their incumbent leader of the regimes must be very unpopular and face the so-called „lame-duck syndrome”, which refers to the elite defection related to their expectation about the future.

        Secondly, the anti-regimes forces are enforced by mass-media and foreign influences.

        Thirdly, the revolution must not be ideological; it must be for the sake of better national integration, freedom, liberal democracy and economic development. Most importantly, the demand for such improvement should be massive among the population.

        Lastly, the anti-regime forces should also be motivated by the grievances on the corrupted government, which is supported by a foreign state which the people do not desire. The anti-regime forces that arouse in post-Soviet countries can only be transformed into a successful color revolution if these criteria are fulfilled. Although there might be other variables that are also able to determine the color revolution, these four criteria can still be the fundamental conditions for a color revolution.

        The main and direct causes of the colour revolutions were United States foreign-policy interests (strategic expansion, energy security and the war on terrorism) as they were serviced by International Non-governmental Organisations (Ingos). Without the intervention of these US-sponsored Ingos, the political landscapes in countries like Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan would not have been repainted in new colours.

        These three revolutions each followed a near-identical trajectory; all were spearheaded by the American democratization Ingos working at the behest of the US foreign policy establishment.

        The comparable political convulsions of Uzbekistan (May 2005) and Azerbaijan (November 2005) did not experience “colour revolutions” due to a variation in the independent variable, US foreign-policy priorities.

        Any color revolution taken place in Eastern Europe involved George Soros, who is most well-known for playing a major role in the funding and facilitating of pro-capitalist liberal system changes, none of which brought anything other than greater misery, impoverishment, and unequlity everywhere. Soros has had a bad influence who helped bring down socialism.

        • SoftStarLight May 30, 2020 at 1:37 pm #

          Interesting post. I never really thought of George Soros as a capitalist robber baron billionaire before but that is apparently what he is. It makes sense now how at a certain point capitalism and communism lead to the same outcomes.

    A trained philosopher makes the case for separation.

    JS: Imagine you cheated on your husband or wife. They catch you. You beg for forgiveness. They say, Yes I forgive you – but they don’t. Not really and they never will. Thus it is between Whites and Blacks. They’re not going to forgive us because it’s all they have. Letting us go free means the end of their free ride. And they know they can’t compete on a level playing field with us, unconsciously if not consciously, at least at the better jobs and in the professions.

      It’s either that or endless conflict, with whites on top, blacks below, or blacks on top, whites below. Both on the same plane will be when the fight really gets serious, if it goes that far.

    • KesaAnna May 30, 2020 at 3:51 am #

      Of course Blacks are going to milk the U.S, narrative of the American Civil War for all it is worth.

      Of course Jews , and previously Communists , are going to milk the U.S. narrative of World War II for all it is worth.

      What of it ?

      It sure looks to me like it is your own people who are the real hurdle.

      It looks to me that it is really white people who absolutely , positively , will not entertain the idea that the United States may have been of no greater historical significance than the Principality of Anhalt – Zerbst.

      It’s white people who absolutely loathe the idea that other white people — in grey tunics — Southerners , Austrians , and Germans — may have been right all along.

      As far as Germans in grey tunics go , I have been saying for 30 years that Hitler and the Nazis is bullshit. A cunard . A red herring.

      To see what’s wrong with the WW II narrative , a narrative pushed primarily by white people , you have to go back to 1914 , and ask in what way a dispute between white Austrians and white Serbs legitimately concerned other whites in other places ?

      Answer ; It fucking didn’t.

      ” they know they can’t compete on a level playing field with us, unconsciously if not consciously, at least at the better jobs and in the professions. ”

      This is …. sort of … right.

      That is , it is other whites who screw you out of the better jobs , etc.

      The Black lobby , like the Gay lobby , is really a fucking joke .

      And only incrementally more credible than child molesters lurking behind every tree.

        Agree. White liberals are the biggest roadblock to whites generally. And yes Kesa you have been right all along. America, as it is constituted now has nothing to offer white people. And to the extent it ever did those aspects of the country were actively dismantled long ago. And for whites, perhaps the most significant development is that America has become a very hostile place.

    From the essay:

    For instance, with over 30-million suddenly unemployed, facing bankruptcy one way or another, maybe even eviction and hunger, and tens of thousands of small businesses failing, what will be the public mood if the stock markets keep shooting up and up and up, as they’ve been doing for a month?

    Those rising share values, which enrich a tiny percentage of the public, are a direct result of the Federal Reserve inflating the national debt by “printing” money-from-thin-air.

    I’m the first to admit that I don’t understand all the high-level financial mechanics – how the Fed printing money leads to artificially inflated share prices, and “exuberant” Price-to-Earnings Ratios.

    However I do question the idea that it will “enrich a tiny percentage of the public”. Gallup says that some 55% of Americans own stocks – either directly, or through their pension investment portfolios (of whatever stripe).

    In a context where interest rates on cash and fixed deposits are close to zero, property (both commercial and residential) is very flaky, and precious metals ditto, where is the average middle-class person who thinks about their retirement income supposed to invest their surplus?

    It’s a rhetorical question … I certainly don’t have an answer. The future (as far as I can see) is pretty bleak … there will be a significant decrease in the standard of living for millions of people – particularly as they hit 55-65.

    Meh. It’s likely to be another psyops mediadrama intended to kill off whatever wasn’t destroyed and bankrupted by the lockdowns. Police departments in multiple cities are standing down and actively allowing open and wanton criminal activity to take place. But then it does make sense when you consider that many people in the highest levels of this society openly and always talk and advocate for the destruction and remaking of the country in the image of the third world. The Elite are totally thrilled with everything that is happening right now. This is exactly what they want as whatever draconian tactics to restore order come down will only increase their grip on power.

    Do you remember when Obama appeared before a black audience and started to act “Funky” in order to connect with his audience? Joe Biden tries to act “Funky” in front of black people, but it always looks contrived and falls flat. Also, Biden looks like an old man with Alzheimer’s trying to act “Young Funky” rather than “Grandpa Funky”, which doesn’t fly.

    Do you remember when they tried buy off black people by trying to convince young black people that there are going to be a lot of really good, high paying jobs sponge-bathing old white Baby Boomers in assisted living facilities?

      Kirk came close in ‘A Piece of The Action’.

      Kirk informs Krako that the Federation is taking over the entire planet, but if Krako helps to maintain order and be a willing agent of the Federation, they will give him a “piece of the action”. Krako agrees, but for safekeeping, Kirk transports him to the Enterprise. They then make the same offer to Okmyx, which he quickly accepts. As they prepare for the meeting of all the planet’s bosses, Krako’s men attack Okmyx’s headquarters, but the Enterprise uses the ship’s phasers to stun the men as they approach. Both Okmyx and Krako realize that they are at Kirk’s mercy, and agree to work for the Federation. Kirk installs Okmyx as the top boss with Krako as his lieutenant, and states that a Federation ship will come by once a year for their 40% cut of the planet’s “action.”

      It was Original Gangster talk befor gangstas were black. I think it for the purposes of this quiz, counts.

        It was the Horizon which went missing 100 years earlier. The inhabitants of planet Sigma Iotia II being perfect humans could not think for themselves. But the Sigmaloids were adept imitators, they could copy anything. As long as they had a leader they were Ok but without one they were lost.

        The Horizon crashed and survivors taught the medieval inhabitants to read and they had a big print book about gangsters in the 1020s.

        When the enterprise arrived the generations had copied the culture and technology of 1920 and the whole planet was run by mobsters.

        The importance of the Horizon was that it allowed Kirk to violate the prime directive since the Horizon had turned the whole planet into a violation of it.

        The writers of this episode knew people on average are lost without leaders. Even the bosses on top of the social pyramid of Sigma Iotia II had to consult ‘the book’ to know what to do.

        Kirk left them with instructions to keep everything working without the drive by shootings because he put himself in charge making for only one gang which could not war with itself.

        Just before the Enterprise broke orbit Sulu beamed down a book on Zen and McCoy beamed down a copy of ‘How To Do Universal Health Care right for Dummies’. Kirk was left wondering what the 40% piece of the action that would go to the Federation in taxes every year would be good for.

        Obviously they would be showing up with instructions to yes spend the money on interstate highways but don’t do suburbs.

      You keep forgetting that Kapernick is not allowed to peacefully protest by bending his knee because it upsets white people. Versus a bunch of yahoos swarming the Michigan state capitol during a legislative session, trying to intimidate state legislators by carrying their military assault weapons: that’s ok, because they were mainly white.

      Try to imagine 100 Black Panthers doing the same thing at the Michigan capitol. I’m sure all of the posters on this site would have had no problem with that.

      But Kapernick taking a knee!? Gasp. How dare he!

        Its disrespectful and he is not being paid to wave his politics or beliefs in peoples faces on NFL time.

        How do you not understand that?
        Further his politics as a former member of the NFL should never have been aired publicly he is not paid for that and it again reflected poorly on his team and the NFL as an organization.
        Now he is unemployed living on proceeds from his failed football career.
        I would suggest he is going to get very hungry in the next twenty years and is destined for some very rough patches soon.

          What an asinine and demeaning response. It also shows how little respect you have for yourself and your betters.

          Let me tell you the reasons Asians do better. And there are many from which you can learn. Asians do better because they are not lazy asses like you. They study hard, they apply themselves, they save for a future, they work cooperatively, they are humble, they show respect to others, they are willing to learn from others, they don’t have their false and undeserved pride dictating their behavior, they are not crude showoffs of shiny bling. They care for their surroundings. They are meticulous in their work ethic. I actually saw my Asian neighbor cut the grass with scissors, that’s how careful and meticulous they are.

          No one expects to became an Asian, but to demean them in such a way, that just shows you for the hypocrite racist scumbag that you are.

    Protestors Criticized For Looting Businesses Without Forming Private Equity Firm First

    https://www.theonion.com/protestors-criticized-for-looting-businesses-without-fo-1843735351

    MINNEAPOLIS—Calling for a more measured way to express opposition to police brutality, critics slammed demonstrators Thursday for recklessly looting businesses without forming a private equity firm first. “Look, we all have the right to protest, but that doesn’t mean you can just rush in and destroy any business without gathering a group of clandestine investors to purchase it at a severely reduced price and slowly bleed it to death,” said Facebook commenter Amy Mulrain, echoing the sentiments of detractors nationwide who blasted the demonstrators for not hiring a consultant group to take stock of a struggling company’s assets before plundering. “I understand that people are angry, but they shouldn’t just endanger businesses without even a thought to enriching themselves through leveraged buyouts and across-the-board terminations. It’s disgusting to put workers at risk by looting. You do it by chipping away at their health benefits and eventually laying them off. There’s a right way and wrong way to do this.” At press time, critics recommended that protestors hold law enforcement accountable by simply purchasing the Minneapolis police department from taxpayers.

    JHK: “Once cycles of violence are set in motion, they are very difficult to stop.” This brings to mind an eminent caution that may have helped avoid WW III. In the “hot line” exchanges between President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev, the latter urged a speedy resolution to the Cuban Missile Crisis, stating [I paraphrase]: “Once this starts to escalate, it will get out of hand and then neither you nor I will be able to do anything to stop it.”

    It was the much older politician and veteran of World War II sending pointed advice to the American President, whose country had never been invaded, burned and bombed.

    Kennedy, to his credit, responded promptly, offering to remove the (already obsolete) liquid-fueled US missiles from Turkey in exchange for the Russians taking theirs out of Cuba. This agreement was to have been kept secret, for fear of his opponents accusing JFK of being “soft on communism”.

    Interesting to note that Cuban leader Fidel Castro was urging his Russian allies to go for it. I would hate to think what Cuba would look like following even a limited nuclear exchange. (For those who have not read Herman Kahn, he theorizes “spasm war” which is pretty self-explanatory.)

    Roberts has sided with liberals so many times now that he should be considered as one. Or part of the Ruling Class that is above such arbitrary designations. It’s all about who has money and who don’t. Who is higher up the Pyramid – which is about more than just money btw. Money won’t get you into the Capstone. Look at the back of the dollar bill. See how it’s separated from the rest of the Pyramid. Got it? Or do I have to Whitesplain some more?

    • SoftStarLight May 30, 2020 at 3:48 pm #

      This was really an attack on the Constitution and any remnants of the real America left. Clearly those things are not part of the Capstone. Wasn’t Roberts appointed by either Bush Sr. or Jr.? I’m sure they are part of the Capstone. And actually yes, you do :-). If you don’t mind.

      • Janos Skorenzy May 30, 2020 at 4:02 pm #

        The Bushes are Skull & Bones and most certainly part of the American Capstone. How far up are they in the Global one? Don’t know. Again, the question of faction comes in. The Zionists vs the UN Illuminati. The UN faction is clearly the tip of the spear on the Corona Terror Attack, and thus they may tend to be higher in the Global Pyramid. But the Zionists aren’t fighting it so they are in on it or they feel they have to go along – which would mean they have less power ultimately.

        In any case, the Antichrist himself will be the one to resolve their conflicts or BE the resolution of them in his own person.

        • Janos Skorenzy May 30, 2020 at 4:12 pm #

        This was really an attack on the Constitution and any remnants of the real America left.

        No, it was more a common-sense public health measure – physical separation to help mitigate the spread of the virus.

        Roberts correctly compared churches with other crowd-based activity – and said similar or more severe limits apply to concerts, movies and sporting events “where large groups of people gather in close proximity for extended periods of time.”

        Brett Kavanaugh – in the minority dissent – incorrectly compared churches with other businesses that do not equally rely on large crowds in the one place for a long time – “supermarkets, restaurants, hair salons, cannabis dispensaries …”.

        So the better argument prevailed. Roberts is far from a Liberal.

        • Janos Skorenzy May 30, 2020 at 4:52 pm #

          Thanks for the run down. Now tell us why Kavanaugh is incorrect, besides the fact that you don’t like him. Church is essential for many of us – food for the soul. Thus a supermarket thereof if you will.

          • Kakadu Man May 30, 2020 at 5:20 pm #

            It has nothing to do with Kavanaugh the person – it’s just that his argument is flawed. You have to compare church services with crowds – concerts, cinemas, sports – which are all likewise cancelled or severely curtailed.

            The argument was not whether a church is an essential service – that is highly subjective – and it wasn’t even an argument about freedom of religion … after all just about any church could hold an online service every day … as many are doing of course.

            The state had the authority to close baseball and movies on emergency health grounds … and churches too. Straightforward.

          • Janos Skorenzy May 30, 2020 at 6:18 pm #

            No because the Churches were willing – for the most part – to go along with the mandated social distancing rules. Yet in some places huge Cathedrals were only allowed 10 people! While stores of the same size would be allowed to host dozens or even over a hundred.

    Off topic (if there is one!) but harking back to “Planet of the Humans”.

    Here’s a thoughtful critique & breakdown of the movie, for anyone interested :

    https://youtu.be/ZmNjLHRAP2U

    • K-Dog May 30, 2020 at 5:02 pm #

      Thank you for that. It is good to get all the info, good to get the parallax view.

      A well groomed brit talking shit. The criticism about the film footage being old is a cheap shot. The Gates foundation and other foundations are not about to start funding radical environmentalism anytime soon. The sun would go red giant first.

      The point of Planet Of The Humans is it dares to go where other such films do not. It advocates that lifestyle change is the only way humanity can survive considering the huge numbers we have bred ourselves into. it dares to mention the ‘O’ word. The word I dare not type for to most Americans the word is held in the same low esteem as the ‘N’ word.

      I’m a technical dog so I was able to notice the truth get streached the other way. The video makes a technical argument
      and the technical issues can be discussed ad nauseum. The real point is too many people and the need for extreme lifestyle change. Something some well groomed posers will fight to the death.

      KDFP

    • K-Dog May 30, 2020 at 5:25 pm #

      Eighteen minutes in the narrator gets into material which is explained by Jevons’ paradox and I am in agreement here. Jevons’ is not mentioned but the correct conclusions are presented.

      Much of the criticism is legitimate and at the end it confirms my earlier comment that film is about too-many-people. It than goes on to cleverly establish that the idea of too many people is ridiculous. It does this by very manipulative means and that is the point of this video.

      I’m very forgiving about “Planet of the Humans”. The target audience is not deep. The target audience is America and America is not well versed in environmental issues. America is brainwashed. America needs basic info.

      Burning down forests to watch You-Tube videos is bad.

      • K-Dog May 30, 2020 at 5:27 pm #

          Typo.

          We forgive and usually ignore these since the intent is typically clear.

          Sometimes as with Kesa we see “cunard” (the shipping line) when she meant canard. It would have been easy to pick that off, but why? Once in a graduate seminar I mispronounced “paradigm.” To this day the mere memory disrupts my body chemistry, especially since Thomas Kuhn’s seminal work has become mainstream. Ah, the horror.

          BTW — i just now corrected a typo: Buy for But.

          Grammar is another matter. Upthread I even schooled Janos. A particularly ugly pattern of language having to do with the case following a preposition.

            It drives me nuts ‘then’ or ‘than’. Thi mistakes result from going too fast but often my eyes correct them when I look things over. After I subit I often see them instantly. It must be the change in font that pops out my brain fixes. Regardless, I try and be correct but a few thousand words a week in a format that does not allow for edits. Shit happens. If you don’t ever do anything you never make mistakes. Well intentioned mistakes that hurt no one bother me not.

            Once in a graduate seminar I mispronounced “paradigm.” – Billy Hill

            ===========

            Funny you should mention it.

            My last boss whom I detested was quite smart and he wasn’t afraid to tell you HOW smart. He had a degree in Physics but somehow wound up in a high financial position. He liked to tell me how some financial phenomenon was like ‘Brownian Motion.’

            At some point in our cultural history the word paradigm came into common and frequent usage. When it reared its head in the business world Mod Sregdor, my boss, jumped on it with both feet (this was his custom when any new word came along). And so it was paradigm this and paradigm that at every opportunity for a year or two. The only problem was that he pronounced it as ‘perry-a-dine.’ It caused me to grind my molars and the hair on the back of my neck stood up.

            Q– TS Kuhn: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions

            Back in the day (Foucault, Derrida, Levi-Strauss) everything was “structure this and structure that.” Structuralism. French. Heady, frothy and ultimately indecipherable.

            Kuhn’s work was refreshingly matter-of-fact. I submit it was from there that “paradigm” came into everyday use much in the sense he intended. (1972-74)

            As for the rest of the French intellectuals and the mess they left — look up the Sokol Hoax. The Sokol Hoax squared. At one point I had a pocket buzzword generator. Handy device at parties where the associate professoriat was not quite certain what they were talking about.

    Tuesday after Memorial Day: 26 people shot

    Total shot for the month of May in Chicago: 327, so far.

    Actually numbers are down from last year.

    I know its impolite to point this out but 98% joggers, shot by other joggers. Can you see why police would be just a little bit nervous working in an atmosphere like that? Would you be?

    CNN HQ in Atlanta got torched but it didn’t really ignite like Autozone in Minneapolis. Who’s going to rebuild the Minneapolis neighborhood that got razed? Parts of Hartford that were set alight back in ’68 never got restored; all the large food stores were looted and burned and to this day there isn’t a large grocery store within city limits. Every once in awhile — to great fanfare — somebody tries to open one, but the next thing you know they are OOB. Pretty regularly the local media guilt trips us about the ‘food desert’ Hartford is. Well, they shouldn’t have burned down the goddam stores that were there.

      Indeed. The Mayor of Minneapolis didn’t want the cops to get hurt so he pulled them back. He texted the arsonists warning them to be careful about gas lines in case they got hurt. He is a disgrace.

      • thwack May 30, 2020 at 7:41 pm #

        Janos, I don’t agree with all the rioting, but I confess that as a black male, I feel a little more secure and “valuable” from all the destruction being done in the name of a dead black man.

        Ive never been arrested, never got in trouble in my life… but there were times when I was subject to a “felony stop” and the cops were so nervous, that I got nervous.

        Both times it was either a case of mistaken identity, or a white person reported me as “suspicious…”

        Finally, Im sure Ive made changes in my behavior that Im not even conscious of, in order to appear docile and non threatening to white people.

        For example, when I was a teenager, I wouldn’t even cut through yards in my own neighborhood, where everybody knew me; and interestingly, no one had to tell me to do that?

        Also, Im older now, with gray hair increasingly beginning to dominate my head; so that makes me less threatening and possibly even noble to the same white people who called the cops on me for “looking suspicious” in the past (cue Morgan Freeman doc voice)

        Im still pretty ripped; I lift and hit the heavy and speed bags, but thats because I don’t have health insurance or conceal carry. I draw the line at looking/acting like a faggot to make white people comfortable with me.

        So yeah, I confess Im a beneficiary of all the rioting; but its very similar to the way all white people benefit from the system of white supremacy; including the white people who can’t or won’t practice racism, like white babies and children…

        I guess Im a victim of unearned privilege?

          Bonne continuation, as the French say.

          (Their citizenship laws are interesting too. My Parisian French+English friends have a daughter who’s a social worker. She works with mostly Somali women who have babies there and are then entitled to stay in France until the child is 18. So, you see, lots of places do lots of things. And they can all be looked up on the Interwebz, but preferably not on the kind of sites that tell you only the US and Ireland have birth citizenship, because sites like that do not have your welfare at heart. They want you to believe things that aren’t true, and that is never good.)

        It’s the Rotunda maternity hospital in Dublin. As far as I know it’s still there, as it was in 1979 when Leo Varadkar was born in it.

        His father came from Mumbai to work as a doctor in the UK, where he met his future wife, Miriam, who hails from Dungarvan, County Waterford.

        So Leo is Irish. Despite his father’s origins, Leo was raised as a Catholic and sent to St Francis Xavier National School, Blanchardstown, followed by The King’s Hospital in Palmerstown, a boarding school run by the Church of Ireland.

        After that he graduated in medicine from Trinity College, Dublin.

        He represents the Fine Gael party.

          Leo Varadkar on his gayness:

          ” “it’s not something that defines me. I’m not a half-Indian politician, or a doctor politician or a gay politician for that matter. It’s just part of who I am, it doesn’t define me…”.

    Extraordinary info. The cop who murdered Daniel Shaver (White guy victim and White cop) lost his job but was cleared of any charges. The Police Dept then then hired him again so he could apply for a PTSD pension – for life. PTSD for humiliating a man with sadistic glee, making him crawl, beg, and do tricks and shooting him anyway. His widow weeps on camera. Truly the power of the Blues is extraordinary. The Elite treat their dogs very well indeed.

        .45
        That and .357 mag are the most lethal rounds fired from a pistol or revolver.

        the 1911 fires the .45 cal round. IMHO the design is dated. There are newer simpler designs that chamber .45.

        .357 is designed for revolvers. Revolvers are reliable, not beholden to round inconsistencies and semi-auto jams. You only get 5 or 6 tries but as the saying goes if you need more than that you have greater problems.

        Fired 35 rounds from my SIG P-226 9mm this afternoon. On target at business distance. Down here in the wilds of the Deep South not much fuss and bother about the big city. Might as well be another planet.

    My question to Trump and the government folks trying to stop this over reaction is, like the ME terrorists, why not cut off the funding given to Antifa and similar groups?

    Starting with the self professed supporter of Antifa, Georgie Porgie.

    These liberal elitist globalist jerks have been laughing at the USA for to damn long.

      All these commie organizations should have been designated terrorist groups long ago and their agents, sponsors, equipment, communications, financing seized.

      There’s an agenda and a scripted narrative being played here. Until Trump puts the China commies in prison and exposes their seditious network, these things will continue so as to off balance Trump, because the China commies are directing and driving these things.

          Black people have always kinda admired Trump; because lets face it, Trump acts like a nigger, straight up, zero fucks given, in yo face nigga… and black people admire that type of behavior; because in a system of racism white supremacy, its often all you have to work with?

          Then all of the sudden, Donald Trump becomes president, and we are supposed to decide he is a racist?

          Was he a racist when he was hanging out with Don King making million dollar boxing deals?

          Was he a racist when he was hanging out with Floyd Mayweather…?

          That was my “nigger wake up call.”

          Sandra Bland’s bail was like $500.00; but none of her family and friends wanted to spend that money on her because I suspect they were fully aware of what an infinity cunt she was?

            “I cannot watch death. I came too close to it myself in real life, but somehow was pulled back to life in the ICU. I felt the coldness of death and it’s not something I have the strength to ever feel again.”

            You surprise me, on more than one count. Why do you not have the strength to feel death? It’s part of life. You’re going to feel it again, unless you die unconscious, which is always a possibility. And with your background, why is it something to fear? I find it’s better to come to terms with it and then get on with your life. For someone who belittles the current pandemic so enthusiastically, you seem rather neurotic on the matter.

            It’s also strange to hear someone say they cannot watch death when they regularly recommend the slaughter of people whose politics they don’t approve of. A bit like an omnivore being too precious to contemplate the abattoir.

            I’m also surprised you let those Vatican nazi doctors in the ICU ‘somehow’ pull you back to life. I have a Living Will, which is to prevent me being the object of pointless medical interventions in the event of my already having a negligible quality of life or no longer being compos mentis due to dementia or any other cause.

            Why have you not got such a Will to prevent the Vatican Nazi medical brother- and sisterhood from intervening to save your life even now?

            You remind me of Foucault who wittered on about the ‘medical gaze’ until he was the victim of a road accident, at which point one assumes he was happy to be gazed upon while they put him back together.

You prefer to oblige the Vatican death cult, be it their ghoulish TV programming their ghoulish Hollywood programming or their ghoulish staged propaganda outlet programming, that’s your prerogative. They are ghoulish dealers of the death and harvesters of souls. That’s why your lands are soulless and dead. That’s why you people are empty and dead. You are like blind bats sleeping through life inside a black cave only to come out at night to sense shadows of the living. That’s the “ugly truth” that you been programmed to accept as life. But I will not allow this satanic death cult and these ghouls entry to my life.

            As for the Nazi pharma drug industry, they are destroyers of health and your body’s living organs. You are intelligent enough to know this to be true. They work in tandem with the poison agribusiness industry, and really they are just subsidiaries of the Vatican Nazi petrochemical industry.

            Kudos to the ICU staff for their injection of saline water into my veins. I would have preferred coconut water, but it is what it is. More than that I don’t know as I was unconscious for 2 weeks as a result of my cancer wound. A cancer wound I blame on all of the above mentioned. I was ignorant of all this until my cancer experience, but thankfully God guided me into knowledge and light. I’m passing on this knowledge so you can’t say you were ignorant as well. You do with it as you will.

            “Kudos to the ICU staff for their injection of saline water into my veins. I would have preferred coconut water, but it is what it is. “

            Seemingly they knew better, for which you should be grateful.

            “As for the Nazi pharma drug industry, they are destroyers of health and your body’s living organs. You are intelligent enough to know this to be true.”

            I am intelligent enough to pick the wheat from the chaff. I will stick with the Vitamin D tablets for now, manufactured by the Vatican Nazis, in addition to the daily sunshine which we naturally lack in winter here through no fault of the pharmacists. And the daily baby Aspirin too. Belt and braces, for the duration. And you too were happy to promote the use of hydroxychloroquine from the Vatican Nazi pharmacists, even though it has yet to be proven to be of any use in treating the current pandemic illness, and studies continue to show no benefit.

            https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/05/studies-find-further-lack-covid-benefit-hydroxychloroquine

            If you should contract malaria, on the other hand, feel free to take your chances with coconut water or whatever takes your fancy, leaving the hydroxychloroquine for the fools taken in by modern medicine.

            I prefer evidence-based medicine.rather than shooting off my mouth either for or against specific treatments. We are all aware of environmental harms that make some treatments necessary in the first place. But you have still to explain why the ancient Egyptians nevertheless experienced cancer.

            Aspirin is merely acetylsalicylic acid. And medicines derived from from willow and other salicylate-rich plants were known as long ago as Ancient Egypt and Sumeria. The trick with the pharma industry, as with modern medicine, is to use it when necessary and when scientific evidence proves its worth, and stay away from it at other times when it purports to give you things it claims you need but for which there is little evidence of any real value (like statins).

            Evidence is better than dogma in such matters, as long as one is wary of evidence generated by the pharma industry itself.

            Observations and conclusions are not presumptions. We all draw our own, and we will all live or die with the consequences thereof. I did my part to inform you. As I said earlier, do with it as you will.

          • GreenAlba May 31, 2020 at 12:41 pm #

            “Observations and conclusions are not presumptions. ”

            You are not here to see what I watch. Therefore it is a presumption. I make my own decisions about what I watch and don’t watch.

            We happened to see the video of the incident in question. My husband’s immediate observation was ‘that’s murder’ based on the video footage shown. I have personally said nothing about it on this site. Enough people on here think they know what’s going on and it’s not my country (nor is it yours, yet your presumptions are not timid), so I choose not to add my pointless comment to the fray.

            If I were to see footage showing the man had been resisting arrest to the point where nothing could be done to contain him other than an officer of the law holding his foot on his neck, I’d give that consideration. But I haven’t. So, as you should have noted, I said nothing on the matter and will not. I merely commented on other matters that seemed strange, i.e. (a) that a person with your ideologies and certainties should so strangely fear death and the sight of death (and yet you must have seen your own mother), and (b) that you should make opportunistic use of a service you hold in contempt.

          • akmofo May 31, 2020 at 1:28 pm #

            I hold them in contempt because they deserve contempt. They are shysters and racketeers who allow the sale of sugarcoated floss and then make their livelihood on the “services” to extract your tooth. The whole thing is a racket. They know it and I know it. But they mortgaged their whole life on this Nazi racket, and many are stuck in it even they wished to leave.

            In the days of Covid a spit in the face the camera did not catch would me cause to be taken to ground with a knee on your neck.

            Then professional officers would cuff him and throw him into the back seat or put him over the front hood of a police cruiser where a suspect can lick the paint off the car hood while he is read his rights. From knee to licking paint of car hood should have taken no more than ten seconds.

            That is not what happened. Instead we saw a subdued man choked to death which is not Ok even if there was a spit in the face.

            The fact is we don’t know went on off camera or if there was a personal relationship between the two. But what matters is what we do see. And what we see is unprofessional behavior which at the very least should result in a charge of manslaughter.

            I absolutely agree with you, K-Dog. My ‘If I were to see footage…’ sentence contained a dose of irony, especially given the officer with the homicidal foot was not alone and had no reason to feel unable to go through exactly the procedure you describe.

            To me it was manslaughter, on the basis of what I saw.

            Which is not to say I’d have any sympathy with the dead man if, in a contrary scenario, he’d entered someone’s house to burgle it and been shot by the householder, either in self-defence or in perceived (by the householder) self-defence. My bleeding heart is still linked to my brain. And unlike Akmofo, I am able to discriminate within groups of people.

            When you learn to discriminate and paint with a finer brush, you will be nearer maturity.

            I won’t hold my breath.

            Regarding the other matter though, which (as ever) you consider to be a set-up, here’s a thought.

            As the footage currently stands, it looks like manslaughter. If your theory were to be correct and the incident was planned, it moves from manslaughter to murder.

            And there I was intending not to comment on the matter. But what is done is done.

          • akmofo June 1, 2020 at 8:38 am #

            My theory is that somewhere pink Floyd is playing another brick in the wall. That is, he is alive and well and that the whole incident was staged. From the staged cops with the curious name to the staged crowd to the fake medical crew that arrives from nowhere and for no reason to the uncritical and inciting commie propaganda outlets to the ZERO blue body in the morgue to the no funeral.

    Watching the protests.

    The vast majority of the people there are kids and young adults. Their comments being given to the press is they want change. ???

    Change, is this the same change that Obama promised us in 2008?

    Kids, what exactly do you want changed? If Trump asked you face to face, “What exactly do you want?”, what would you say?

    WOE put out a brilliant statement about the social order of Blacks in the country. No men! That is it! No men. The liberal government Has created a non functional situation in the Black community. Keep those Black men down. Pander to the Black women. Vote for me and I will give you more freebies.

    Young Black men, you want change? Quit being suckers for the White elitists of the Democratic Party. Start realizing that the local, liberal city governments are BAD for your communities. Quit listening to liberal jerks telling you how bad business is for you. Business is jobs, business is wealth flowing into your community. Your economic outlook, until the virus, was the most promising it has been since 1865. I will not even give Trump credit for it. All he really did was remove the constraints on the Black community that the liberal welfare panderers have been foisting on you for generations.

    The Dems are scared to death by polls showing the Black community are finally getting this figured out and larger percentages are voting against the Dems.

    You want change? The last people that want you to have progressive change are the Dems. You know why? Because folks that accumulate wealth turn into conservatives to protect that wealth from idiot liberals.

    You young folks, change happens from within, from fighting in the ballot box against folks that really do not give a damn about you, just your votes. Vote for folks that want to increase your opportunity for wealth accumulation. Not people that want to steal your wealth with taxes and promise to give you freebies.

    There are no freebies. Grow up and realize this fact!

    Roberts slaps down Brett Kavanaugh:

    Justice Brett Kavanaugh “falsely accused the state of religious discrimination in an extremely misleading opinion that omits the most important facts of the case” in his dissent — and was so dishonest that Roberts went out of his way to rebuke him in the Court opinion.

    “As Roberts noted … California does not impose uniform rules on all places where people assemble,” [ … ]“The state does strictly limit church attendance.

    But it applies ‘similar or more severe restrictions’ to ‘lectures, concerts, movie showings, spectator sports, and theatrical performances.’ So the question for the court is less constitutional than scientific: From an epidemiological perspective, are churches more like grocery stores or concerts? And that, the chief justice concluded, is a question for lawmakers, not federal judges.”

    • Billy Hill May 31, 2020 at 1:10 pm #

      You have a talent for writing headlines:

      “Roberts slaps down Brett Kavanaugh”

      I don’t have time to search out and read Roberts opinion but are you suggesting he called out Kavanaugh by name? If so please offer that passage in its entirety. Your selective quotation marks above are insufficient.

      I read the NY Times article from yesterday and even went so far as the Daily Kos, which relied on the Times. I saw nothing that suggested Roberts “went out of his way” to rebuke Kavanaugh. If anything it sounds as if Roberts is delimiting judicial authority in deference to lawmakers — in this case the State of California. The crux of Kavanaugh’s argument was that why should we think the worst of people attending church versus those going to Home Depot? In other words, that everyone at Home Depot will be social distancing and wearing masks but in church such precautions will be absent, a priori. OK, we can get into the nuts and bolts of viral load, and in fact singing in church might be a greater hazard than checking out at Kroger — assuming that all are wearing masks and keeping distance. In my own experience I have yet to see uniformity out there in the real world. So there’s some logic to K’s reasoning. Roberts would prefer to let the States legislatures and executives rule on it — such as the governor of Illinois, who has lifted the ban on church attendance.

      Supreme Court justices end up on the bench because they are the Law Industry equivalent of nerds. Scholastics. Yes in the confirmation process we see much posturing and histrionics these days but once they don the robe the notion that some hoped-for political affiliation will now take hold and steer the court in one’s preferred direction often is shown to be folly. The majority of the cases have more to do with angels dancing on the heads of pins than the momentous political issues of the day.

      • Kakadu Man May 31, 2020 at 2:12 pm #

        From the Slate article:

        Roberts seems to think so. His opinion ends with a clear swipe at Kavanaugh: “The notion that it is ‘indisputably clear’ that the Government’s limitations are unconstitutional,” the chief justice wrote, “seems quite improbable.” Roberts went out of his way to telegraph his displeasure with the raft of lawsuits contesting COVID-19 restrictions as unconstitutional burdens on religious liberty.

        Constitutes a slapdown of Kavanaugh, for my money.

        And I agree that many High Court decisions can seem incredibly nerdy, and disconnected to lived reality, but not in this case. Kavanaugh made two arguments that any eighth-grader in a civics class could have driven a truck through.

        (1) it is not at all “indisputably clear” that the [Californian] Government’s limitations are unconstitutional, and (2) he did not (or could not) distinguish between the viral-load health risks of a large church congregation, and a grocery store or nail salon.

        He was in effect trying to argue (with very negative consequences had he prevailed) that religious freedom is infringed if a church is restricted any more than any single other business activity … which is a complete nonsense.

        This is a public health issue … not a First Amendment one … which again, any competent eighth-grader could advise him.

        • Billy Hill May 31, 2020 at 3:29 pm #

          Constitutes a slapdown of Kavanaugh, for my money.

          Maybe your money, but you may want to recount:

          “The notion that it is ‘indisputably clear’ that the Government’s limitations are unconstitutional,” the chief justice wrote, “seems quite improbable.”

          OK. Roberts does not agree with the legal argument. His interpretation was shared by four others and by the rules that interpretation stands.

          “Seems quite improbable” is perhaps a tad beyond “seems improbable” but this rhetoric is hardly the stuff of rebuke, unless of course you want it to be, as Slate and Kos do.

          But keep in mind that is your spin that fits your narrative (I include Kos, Slate and the rest of la resistance among :your”) and I imagine the collegiality of the court continues despite any and all attempts to create stories suggesting otherwise. Ginsburg is on record calling Kavanaugh “wise”. And she was very close to Scalia — personally, not professionally. I am sure they are all somewhat awe-struck by the power and responsibility placed in their hands, and I suspect they approach their task with a high degree of humility — a character trait conspicuously lacking among la resistance as well as their target.

          Cunning Headline. Fake News.

            I guess we differ … I have no narrative or agenda … you would be very wise yourself not to try and impute one in me simply because you disagree with my perspective.

            And I still hold that what Roberts said was a clear rebuke of the little puppy who made a mess in the corner, in the context where collegiate solidarity is much more the norm – as you state.

            Anyway – common sense prevailed – the religious nutters copped one right on the nose, which is never a bad thing when secularism is your light on the hill.

      It won’t of course. We live in a bizarre world where wrong has become right. An atmospheric inversion of morality filled now with choking smoke. The weak dull and inexperienced deceived by a broken system which allowed self-interest to bloom like alpine flowers on summer hills alive with the sound of music reverberate the cry of it is all about me.

    Reverend Jim Jones used to have suicide “Practice Run” services in which he’d get his People’s Temple members to drink a cup of Kool Aid without poison in it as a “Test of Faith”. This cleverly tricked the congregation into thinking that it might just be another “Test Run” on the fateful day of the mass suicide.

    Eighty percent of his congregation on his agricultural plantation in Guyana were black Americans. The rest of his congregation were mostly collage aged white females who Reverend Jones as boning. Reverend Jones was purportedly “well endowed” with a huge penis. Reverend Jones had convinced the black members of the People’s Temple that he was black. Reverend Jones was a big “Maoist”. I once knew a rich white bloke in college from the affluent Chicago suburb of Evanston who said that he was a “Maoist”. He must have been “Virtue Signaling”?

        I don’t HAVE to answer your questions.

        I’d call a press conference and explain that this is a horrible tragedy and that the country needs to pull together in our time of pain.

        I would tell America that I will be traveling to Minneapolis to meet with community leaders there to find out why this has happened and I will be determined to do whatever is necessary so that there is not more pain and destruction. I would remind everyone that we stand on the shoulders of giants and that we have a proud legacy to carry their forward.

        I have a vision for America. A vision where everyone can live a meaningful and dignified life. I would ask all police chiefs in the country to review their procedures of how to properly arrest and detain suspects. I would order a national board be established to investigate why America hates police with the mission to return with recommendations on how to fix the situation so that police behave and are understood to be the public servants they are.

        If you want to know how I feel about all this you can start here.

    Interesting.

    A rogue supremist cop gets carried away, actually three of them were kneeing Floyd. But the bad guy was on his neck, probably cutting off blood flow at the angle he was applying pressure.

    So, the protestors come out of the walls, it seems, everywhere. I wonder who pulled the national trigger. Then the real creeps show up, the instigators, the ones whose job is to whip up the protestors into a fury and start the violence.

    Here is the irony, the protestors are young people of all races that are pissed because they have been shortchanged by older folks taking the wealth away from them. To a degree, they are correct. However, their indulgent upbringing makes them a target for being taken advantage of. They are some of the vanguard for the gimme group in the US. They want the government to equalize everything, redistribute the wealth. They want their goodies without having to work hard for them. Few of the millennials and Gen-Zers have done public service of any sort.

    So they rebel and protest. The real insidious ones, though, are the instigators, the financiers that pay people to raise hell. These folks are tearing down the country, that is their aim. They do not care about George Floyd. They care about their anti-American agenda.

    Antifa is predominantly White youth.. Think about That a second. All you legitimate protestors are being used by a group that do not care about your grievances at all. These are White based groups ripping up minority urban areas, using protestors as their tool.

    Hmm, White based groups tearing up Black neighborhoods. Is there any difference between these jerks and the White Supremacists. I have always thought the political spectrum is not a line, but a circle.

    The folks that are financing all the destruction do not give a s**t about the concerns of the Blacks. They are globalists trying to tear down the major impediment to their world domination, the USA. Their minions are the new communistic progressive elements in the US. China is their mechanism.

    Some Blacks are starting to complain about the hordes of Whites “protesting” with them. The Whites are breaking into stores. It “don’t feel right somehow”. In other words, they don’t like sharing the loot that should go to Blacks. Blacks built America, right?

    And when it’s all over, Black Politicians will stand amidst the ruins of their own neighborhoods, and say it was necessary to ecstatic cheers from the crowd. Then they will wait for the funds to rebuild come pouring in. They will wait for a long time…..

    Does looting diminish the purity of the protest for George Floyd? Is man not soul AND body? Do not warriors deserve to be paid for their trouble, since they are risking so much instead of staying home and working? Mohammad thought so.

    Of course that assumes that all of the protesters are there for George Floyd in the first place. That’s a big assumption. There are far more Idealistic people there than that. And just common criminals as well. Mao assented to the Revolutionary use of criminal gangs. What happens to them if and when the Revolution is won is quite another story of course. Communists have zero tolerance for common criminals. They understand the criminal mind very well. They know that extreme force is the way to stop such things, and deterrent thereof.

    Take it – it’s yours is only promulgated before the Revolution. Once the Dictatorship of the Proletariat is established, you are stealing from the People. In other words, it’s ok to steal from a person but not the people. Got it? The People cancel out persons, evidently.

    • SoftStarLight May 31, 2020 at 3:03 pm #

      That’s a good point. Anytime in the past when blacks decided to burn down buildings, etc. in protest of one thing or another there have always been massive bailouts from taxpayers to rebuild. Now everyone is broke but the uber wealthy and they probably won’t be contributing to the rebuild. And to the extent they do, I’m sure the community will not be the first thing on their minds.

      Looking at a lot of videos from all over the country I noticed that so many of the “demonstrators” appeared to be young whites. So many looting were as well. It’s interesting. I think some of the blacks are getting worried and nervous about all of the whites joining them on this as they fully suspect that they will take the blame as it’s considered to be a “black” protest. I’m pretty well convinced though that this Floyd episode was just used as a spark and this was all planned and hoped for by those who wish to destroy this country. Too bad the black community of Minneapolis didn’t just peacefully assemble and protest and refuse to be a tool.

    VOMITUS EMERGENCE

    For days now, America has been up chucking a smorgasbord of ills that are not only unpalatable, but that are becoming ever more difficult to digest. A steady diet of Diversity and all the divergence it causes in societies, not the least of which is something called ‘racism’, has been force fed into the nation’s belly for so long that it just can’t help but get the heaves from time to time.

    The nation spewed its economic and social outrage across the land like a sick, filthy hobo eating out of garbage cans and drinking rot gut. Inequality and injustice could no longer be stomached.

    The police, mayors, and governors have seen and been splattered by the mess before, its stink lingering in the streets, but they never really learned what to do with it, except to offer up the usual Pepto-Bismol of palaver.

    The sick, virus infected, nauseous hobo will recover for awhile, maybe thrown some stock market vitamins, while the Elites continue to allow him some space in flop house America. The garbage cans will be left outside, easily accessible.

        Urban geniuses in Bridgeport are getting in on the act today, stopping traffic on the Rt 8 & 84 interchange leading into NYC. Protesting what? Black Dems dominate every city. State govt seems to exist to serve their needs. Just about every police chief is black or Hispanic. The DMV Commissioner is from Africa. The Speaker of the State Assembly also heads up the state’s largest lefty employee union, and so on. I’m trying to figure out what there is to protest against. Human existence? The fact there are still white people walking around breathing free air? That whitey has wised up and now locks is his car at night, making them harder to steal? (Instead of 24-30 per night, down to a dozen per night) Exaxctly what?

          They are societal rejects for a variety of reasons. I use the term loosely though, as they could “fit in” to some degree as well as anyone else.

          The movement started here in Germany as an extreme strain of commies, but the modern movement has little to do with the historical movement. Most of them here live in Autonomen Zentren, where they more or less squat on large parcels of land, and the government does nothing to kick them out.

          I have less of an issue with the occupation, as not everyone is cut out to participate in society to the same extent, but many are attracted to the Antifa movement because they have an axe to grind.

          They are being funded by globalists behind the scenes, IMO. Brown shirts of sorts.

But probably lucky: If had cut one hair on any one of these little darling’s heads he’d be in prison for decades. And as far as going “rooftop Korean”? I don’t think Whites would allowed to do that. I think they’d be gunned down by the cops. And they probably wouldn’t let the Koreans do it now either. America has changed much since then – for the worse.

    Antifa are White. White Supremacists are White. Both use violence sometimes. So they are the same thing.

    The Allies were White. The Nazis were White. They both used violence. So they were the same thing.

    The Capitalists back then were White. The Communists back when were White. They both used violence. So they were the same thing.

    He’s done this kind of thing before. It’s ridiculous. And he’s not the only one either. It’s fem think – as if “violence” is some kind of huge taboo, the be all and end all of the discussion – and not the end towards which it is employed.

    • thwack May 31, 2020 at 5:40 pm #

      The rioters should disperse, go home, and start preparing for the day officer Chauvin is acquitted of all charges; because that could happen.

      The State only really cares about one thing, and thats their ability to maintain a monopoly on the use of violence. Allowing police officers to get away with murder is something they have to do as a way of proving they, and only they, have a monopoly on the use of violence.

      They might sacrifice Chauvin to the mob?

      But then again, if you study Chauvin’s face and mannerisms as he killed a man in broad daylight, with several witnesses looking on and advising him not to; he seems to be broadcasting a giant “SO WHAT?”

      Ive heard a rumor that one of the officers (officer Lane?) even suggested sitting Floyd up over concern he may go into cardiac arrest? But Chauvin said no. After that officer checked for a pulse and found none, he still said no (I think thats the case for 1st degree murder)

      Either way, during the entire event, Chauvin had a look of confidence and indifference on his face the whole time; I suspect because he knew thats as a police officer he was proving the State’s monopoly on the use of violence in the only credible way possible?

      By murdering a person, on camera, in broad daylight, with witnesses

      A nineteen year veteran?

      He had to have known what he was doing; and be confident that he could get away with it.

      BTW, What do you think he was thinking about as he kneeled there with his knee an Floyd’s neck?

      I suspect he was thinking about that Rice-A-Roni he was gonna dig into when he got home?

    The Bloody Sire

    By Robinson Jeffers

    It is not bad. Let them play.
    Let the guns bark and the bombing-plane
    Speak his prodigious blasphemies.
    It is not bad, it is high time,
    Stark violence is still the sire of all the world’s values.

    What but the wolf’s tooth whittled so fine
    The fleet limbs of the antelope?
    What but fear winged the birds, and hunger
    Jewelled with such eyes the great goshawk’s head?
    Violence has been the sire of all the world’s values.

    Who would remember Helen’s face
    Lacking the terrible halo of spears?
    Who formed Christ but Herod and Caesar,
    The cruel and bloody victories of Caesar?
    Violence, the bloody sire of all the world’s values.

    Never weep, let them play,
    Old violence is not too old to beget new values.

    How beautiful, how true.

      Yes, as Black Pigeon said, voting is an act of violence since it’s affirming the State or State-us Quo – which is always maintained by a credible monopoly on both credit and violence as Thwack reminds us. Pacifists can’t vote or call the cops without being hypocrites.

      Don’t get me going about the monument. It is great art and it pisses me off the hands are always getting painted red. That was Stalin dumfucks. Stalin was a pig.

      Yesterday was busy. 2000 people which in Seattle always means shut down the I-5 bridge, which happened. At least one police Car-B-Que which I’m apposed to. Greta T. would not approve and neither do I. The national guard was called up.

      I did get out with Mrs. Dog. I am on the east side of the lake and not Seattle proper. The freeways were vacant and it was twilight. I-90 is close to where we live and used it. Seattle is only an island and a floating bridge away. Three times big police SUVs with all lights on blast zoomed by doing about 150 mile an hour. On the way into Seattle. With the freeways as empty as they are they really were going that fast. Outside agencies coming in to help. Three holy shit moments and one was a total freak out because it was right behind us and you always think they are after you when you see the Christmas tree in your mirror.

      The lights were blinding and I have never seen anybody drive that fast. I have myself but being a driver I could not watch myself. Another story for another time. More than one story. Then the cruiser was by and for a second I felt like I had got by with something.

      The errand out was for an essential need. We are following our governors orders. Which is good. Jay Inslee has a brain. We follow not because following orders is good. We follow because in WA state our leaders are honoring the social contract and that makes the orders good. If we had one of the Republican governors we would be ignoring their dumb asses. Republican governors are going to wind up spending more on lock-downs in the long run because they don’t take this shit seriously.

White police and provocateurs, obviously! When a governing ideology becomes a closed loop that allows no criticism, burning down its regime becomes the only way to discredit it. I’ll shed no tears if these liberal urban carpet-baggers are hunted down and their properties destroyed by these righteous mobs. They are reaping what they have sown, and now their day of reckoning has arrived. Accelerate the chaos to destroy the empire of liberal illusions; as a Real Rightist I approve of this wholeheartedly.

      ***********************

      I don’t know about you, but Im seeing a lot of white people in these riots and protests? Its mainly young white people; but thats a clue?

      As justice Stephen G Breyer once said in arguments before the supreme court to free a man who had been convicted through unlawful evidence,

      he said:

      “because your next!”

      I might be mistaken, but I think a lot of white people, especially the younger white people, see black people as a type of “canary in the coal mine”; and understand that one way they can insure their OWN safety in uncertain times, is to insure the safety of black people?

      Im not a white person, so I can’t be sure of what white people are thinking; but I can see the coherence and logic in such a conclusion.

      Its the same logic I worry about regarding abortion.

          But the praise of gangsta got out of hand. A healthy jolt of rebellion is always good but we got new stereotypes which praise violence. A new racism to cobble blacks but since it is not like the old racism America is good with it. In particular liberal America and for the regular readers. Yes I am using the ‘L’ word.

        I am wondering why this case is considered racial. Why not just a case of police brutality?

        If it is true that any time a black person is hurt by a white policeman it will be considered as racial, then white police will have to stop policing black people and have only black cops handle them.

        The logistics of that would be very hard to pull off.

        • K-Dog May 31, 2020 at 11:15 pm #

          Because racists are writing the news? I’m serious about this. Non-racists are not this irresponsible. So if the shoe fits America don’t pretend you are not putting it on.

          Your point is right on. Where is the bias. The police were summoned to the location of an alleged fraud. Derek Chauvin did not get any the night before. Sven the Swede could have been the unlucky one but Sven wasn’t trying to pass a phony $20 that day. George Floyd was.

    Its interesting that former officer Derek Chauvin’s WIFE is being identified as a member of his family; but she’s Asian.

    Meanwhile, Chauvin’s white parents, who produced that evil demon, are nowhere to be found?

    ***************************************************

    Can anyone identify a white person who is a blood or legal relative of Derek Chauvin?

    Because so far, all his relations appear to be Asian?

    so did this demonic snow ape just spontaneously generate creatio ex nihilio?

        Wait until charges are dropped, or he’s acquitted. The DA has already made a few statements indicating his case is weak. Then the mob will really be pissed.

        And when are the results of George Floyd’s toxicology report due in? It will be interesting to see what it shows.

        The case against Chauvin is no slam dunk, unless the State of Minn conducts some kind of show trial, in a kangeroo court.

    What a bizarre weekend around the US.

    Sadly, probably pretty predictable. You had a “locked down” population in most of the country from the Wuhan Virus, an economy totally broken down, and little left of a common culture.

    Even the Star Tribune in Minneapolis admitted that much of the violence can be attributed to organized, left wing extremists– and not “Russian saboteurs” as the completely inept Mayor Frey (Trudeau Jr.) alluded to recently.

    I think it’ll be a long violent summer in the US, rolling along from one real or perceived abuse or slight to another. Civil wars can start this way, eventually– and they often do. I remember the breakup of Yugoslavia. A lot of the roots of that conflagration were centered on historical grievance, and how the Serbian dominated police forces’ were treating non-Serbs in the country.

    Sound familiar?

    So, exchange “Serb” for white, “Croat” for asian, “Bosnian” for black, etc. etc.. and you start to get the picture.

    We’ll see what happens. I’m not sure if people are hungry enough to really get revolutionary yet. The supply lines are working well enough to provide enough “Stuff” to keep our materialistic drives satisfied. How long that will be able to suffice is an open question.

    • Janos Skorenzy May 31, 2020 at 10:15 pm #

      Yes, you begin to see. The Bongo Party. The Boogaloo. Rwanda times Bosnia.

      I turned off the news: after the commercial they were going to show Black women chastising Whites for breaking things. They want all the loot for Blacks you see.

      Still believe in mass immigration and multiculturalism? Of course you do! Just like Paul Krugman still believed in them before, while, and after he said that you cannot have a welfare state and open borders.

      Two different things, right? Just because you know what will help America doesn’t mean that you desire that. What naivete, right? You just can’t find good help anymore!

    Well,
    It is now7:37PM Pacific time, and the beat goes on. I, for one, an thoroughly disgusted at the way this outrage is being handled. Friday night, the civil authorities allowed rioters to violate lawful curfew with impunity…if heads were then broken during the mass arrests, we would not see what we are seeing at this moment throughout the country. NOW the Guard and military will quell the disturbances…there will be many injured, and some deaths.

    The news media breathlessly takes the position that outside agitators are responsible…they are, of course, correct. Jamal and little Susie Creamcheese are tools…useful lidiots for the various organizations that have their own agendas. This was no difference in the riots of the ’60’s…nothing different but the faces.

    Curfew means anyone violating the order is subject to arrest. Begin entering the crowd with flying squads, grabbing those particularly active. Cuff them if compliant, knock them to the ground if not. Massive arrests. 50 to 100 buses brought from city yards. Containment area probably on Governor’s Island (if in NY). Portable courts set up and issuing $1000 fines for violation of curfew. Tent city to house the overflow.

    THIS is how it was done in the ’60’s. Times change. People don’t.

    Sorry if this screed sounds offensive or overly reactive.

    Pay me now.

    Or pay me later.

    These incidents, however, have another level of issue, in that everyone can legitimately wear masks…anonymity breeds crowd behavior, and it makes more difficult to identify various elements in the crowd that are cadre. They should have isolated and neutralized the agitators days ago. Also, the civil authorities should have shut down cell service in the area to prevent flash mobs.

    Millions of dollars destroyed…millions of dollars spent in overtime. Pay me now, or pay me later.

    Every generation has to learn the lessons the hard way….

    • Janos Skorenzy June 1, 2020 at 12:10 am #

      I’ll write my first sentence as the link loads. The FBI was established in 1908 and has been busy ever since. Covid is not even a year old.

      That makes the discussion a bit of an apples and oranges thing but from a psychological point of view I have an observation.

      Whatever deep state bullshit is responsible for promoting the riots the fact is the Joe behind the face shield wearing the black bullet proof vest is just doing a job that he was ordered to do.

      So what does Joe think. Joe is pissed. Joe wants people to cooperate with lock-downs because first responders really don’t have a choice but to take the pandemic seriously. Joe identifies with them and is one of them. Joe sees lawless people gathering over what?

      Right now large gatherings are illegal and people gather over the arrest of a counterfeiter? Joe is pissed and it is totally understandable. Joe has to have angry young women he thinks cute call him a Fascist Pig and accuse him of being like Christopher Columbus or a Nazi storm trooper.

      People with privileged lives moaning about oppression more because their favorite brewpub remains closed than because George Floyd earned his Darwin award. That is how I am seeing this.

          I recall he was breaking the law. Unless I’m wrong and he was an innocent bystander, perhaps helping the infirm cross streets I would not nominate George yes.

          A believe a committee of some kind evaluates the deaths to make sure they are sufficiently idiotic. As George did not have a reasonable suspicion he would be killed for passing funny money that day he might not qualify.

          George appeared to be cooperating but he was not cooperating 100% as the situation demanded. He may have done something stupid we did not see off camera. He showed signs of attitude before he wound up under the knee.

          Do not give police attitude. It is never good no matter who you are.

            Plenty of proles and wanna-be mafiosos and gangsters here in Germany, too. Most of them are white or Turkish. Many have one thing in common: they want stuff, are angry, and grew up poor.

            There is hard evidence that these riots are being incited by organized groups with big funding. See my earlier posts from Lara Logan.

    And while I’m certainly not a wet-liberal apologist for all the crazy lootin’ and burnin’ (and other self-destructive stuff) that’s going on, you’d have to be totally blind to not see that African-Americans have a lot to be angry about.

    Who is writing this script?

    Remember “WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!”

    A few thousand blacks from New Haven climbed up onto I-95 yesterday — the heaviest travelled road in the US, stopping traffic for miles. Tempers flared up and down the coast. Two things stood out: interspersed amongst the blacks were many white girls, coed types, ponytails bouncing, wearing short shorts showing long, tanned, shapely legs … do they realize the danger they are putting themselves in? Where are their parents? Another thing: it looks like the mob shutting down the interstate WERE BEING ESCORTED BY STATE POLICE OFFICERS!!! I shit you not, CFNers.

    Watch: This Is What It Looks Like When the Response to Protests Against Police Violence Is… More Police Violence

    https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2020/06/watch-this-is-what-it-looks-like-when-the-response-to-protests-against-police-violence-is-more-police-violence.html

    Police driving their SUV cruisers into protesters in Brooklyn, New York.

    National Guard and local officers firing paint gun rounds at people standing on their own front porch in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

    Massive armored S.W.A.T. vehicles and lines of riot police in Columbia, South Carolina and elsewhere.

    Police units firing rubber bullets and tear gas at kneeling, non-violent demonstrators in Dallas, Texas.

    Riot police knocking an elderly man walking with cane to the ground in Salt Lake City, Utah.

    These were just some of the outrageous and violent scenes captured on video Saturday night amid demonstrations and uprisings in cities across the U.S. in protest of the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week and the long history of police violence and social neglect in the country.

    Lots of videos. Looks like I’m not the only one to notice.

        There’s nothing intriguingly ambiguous about, e.g., ramming vehicles into crowds of people, Majella. Loons started fantasizing about doing this to left-wing protesters over the course of the past few years, before the tactic found expression with the murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville. Here’s a Twitter thread documenting how vehicle ramming found its way out of right-wing fever swamps and onto the streets:

        https://twitter.com/AriWeil/status/1267271819817480193

        Now the police have been taking it up over the past weekend, along with at least one super-duper patriotic tanker truck driver.

        Don’t miss the graph at the end, visualizing the enormous amounts of surplus military gear that has been donated to police in the aftermath of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. When your only tool is an up-armored assault vehicle, the world starts to look like your own personal Carmageddon.

            I heard about this and it is very sad. Yeah. Isn’t it funny that you don’t hear any screaming and wailing over the senseless murder of a good black man here.

            Notice the sfchronicle failed to mention his race!

            It might be the case that the “race” of the victim (or indeed the perpetrator) is not particularly relevant to the story – not in any material way.

            Not everything needs to be seen through the prism of skin colour – doesn’t often lead to better understanding, or empathy.

            Some might see everything as a race war, but it’s a distraction … the real battle is with the 1% and their Republican puppets in the Senate and on federal court benches.

          Wow. Is it still yesterday, Elrond? Has time stood still?

    Wouldn’t that be funny if Jack Dorsey was held responsible for the riots. After all, the rioters used twitter for their logistics. Oh but yeah. Liberals are liars and hypocrites so that will never happen. They approve of death, blood, and destruction if it suits them.
