I have restrained people that way. No fatalities.

Why would I write an essay on right-libertarianism? I've read some of Walter E Williams' writings.

I'll take Cornel West over any right-libertarian because he has pretty solid principles, from what I've heard from him. Right-libertarian principles- not so much.

Because you've read some of his writings, and brought them into the thread?

Sargon of Akkad did an hour on the recent beheadings in France. Via La France.

At https://youtu.be/KxcUskpnygU?t=1916 he proposes making the Queen of England a Caliph. I mean, it worked with the Catholics.

Quote:
but really i mean like half of our
mosques are diabandi
in britain and the uband is a sect of
islam that was founded expressly to oppose
britishness uh so i mean we we have to
start rethinking the way we allow islam to be
practiced in the west generally not just in france
but essentially you know having some sort of state form
of it where they can say no look this
is how islam will be taught in france
if that's a necessary thing i mean i've
said this before i've said this before
like we might actually have to have
like um uh you know some sort of mosque
of england and have the
king or queen literally be called like a
caliph or something
for these people to sort of have the
world view that they're looking for
um and so they've got something to
pledge allegiance to
like the the the the world view
demands certain things i mean this is
what they're trying to set up it's a
caliphate they're always trying to set
up a caliphate
so okay well we have a caliph it's the
queen

I could but I think you're a lost cause.

I could also write on left-authoritariansm, or the moral compass in general.

Maybe later.

What "thousands of people restrained that way"?

Floyd was showing signs of ExDS “excited delirium syndrome”.

The police followed protocol for dealing with the situation.

https://www.mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov...7807072020.pdf

For context.

We need to be shown the whole encounter. Not just edited piece meal clips.

But then again, it probably doesn’t fit the narrative.

Another Darwin award winner in Philly the other day.
Charged the cops with a knife, cops "didn't have money for for tasters and taster training" and so the perp took the 9mm challenge.
They still would have shot the dude with a real gun taster or no taser. Oh well 0% chance of recidivism.
If they're crazy enough to run at armed police when they're having a bad day maybe they should have been locked up where they can't get a hold of steel stabby things.

[citation needed] I guess. I know I've seen those names somewhere, I may have heard something from Thomas Sowell on the history of slavery; but I know nothing about them.

Here's an explainer on the Moral Compass test. I don't know Mr. Beat but I concur with his assessment and his recommended better tests. He turns it into entertainment at 3:35.

It's interesting in this election period to learn more about elections past. Like furinstance, that Tulsi Gabbard wasn't the first woman to run for President of the United States, just the best. The first was Victoria Woodhull



Quote:
A woman who led one of the most remarkable lives of anyone of her era despite being largely forgotten by history thanks in part to the fact that she was too extreme for even the women's rights and suffragists movements, who conveniently very intentionally wrote her out of their history despite her massive contributions to the cause. This is the story of Victoria "Badass" Claflin Woodhull and her vie for the office of President of the United States.
Underage female runs for President. Three times!

Mostly but 17 rounds IMHO is a wee bit of overkill, or maybe not since I cant see how you get 17 shots out of 2 clips. Should be 1 bullet left somewhere
