In your other post, you referenced BLM. Then I started seeing that more frequently on the web and was wondering why everyone was talking about the Bureau of Land Management all of a sudden. Figured some ranchers had got into it again with BLM over grazing or something. I don't know, I don't follow the news. I think I'm happier than most.

freebeard 06-03-2020 01:36 AM

My friends upriver follow the news and I don't think they ever will recover. He's got his hopes pinned on Judge Sullivan, that can't end well.

Instead of the news I follow the 'conspiracy theory LARPers'. There is a much better track record there. Twitter is for normies. The open source intelligence has an insider track [record].

General Flynn['s persecution] is the linch-pin that holds the whole house of cards together.

Bureau of Land Management. It's like Malheur county was another world.

Amazes me that people are bringing their children to these "peaceful protests", but perhaps the media is to blame since they only talk about how peaceful everything is.

Anyhow, it's clear from the photo that the cops aren't even looking at the man, but instead focused on something more menacing in the background. Shame on the photographer for not capturing what is actually going on.

That weapon looks like a teargas launcher, though I've never seen one so I'm only speculating. If so, it's used to disperse a crowd, not subdue individuals. It's painted scary black though, so clearly an "assault weapon".

Quote:

According to Andrei Goverdovsky, who works at Russia’s state nuclear agency in Rosatom, the project has been dubbed “luminous gas” and, believe it or not, really is a type of disinfectant – which means that Trump was right once again in using the word disinfectant to describe one of the novel treatments being developed for this novel virus.

“So far, no one has managed to hold UV disinfection inside a person,” Goverdovsky is quoted as saying. “We figured out how to do this. We select molecules and gas components that when inhaled remain activated and emit ultraviolet light directly in the lungs.”

Bleach Boys was the song.

Quote:

Maybe there'll be a party at the beach
We'll bi+ch about life and chug-a-lug bleach
No one's getting high and no one's getting drunk
We got a case off bleach stashed in the trunk.
I wanna die with clorox within reach.
I'm very proud of the respect I've earned
And my voice is very deep 'cause my throat got burned.
Bleach keeps you young so I've been told
'cause no one who drinks it lives to be old
Drink it with a chaser is the first thing I learned.
He spoke about many things in that odd bit of performance art. Bringing UV light into the body and injecting disinfectant were a couple of them. But pulling something out of that ramble and saying "he's right" is like claiming Nostradamus predicted Virginia taking last year's NCAA basketball championship. Maybe you can find the right words in the right order somewhere, but I'm not buying it.

The thing he didn't talk about was drinking bleach. That was purely a product of the press. Prolly to distract from Hydroxychloroquine. Same as with the "Fine People' hoax.

Regarding the new signature, this is the same reasoning I apply to prove that time travel is not possible by humans. If it were, we'd go back in time, introduce the future technology, which would then boost future technology, which could be introduced back in time, etc, etc. In other words, we'd have infinitely advanced technology now. I don't have infinitely advanced technology, just a stupid iPhone.

But he cometh for thee, yea he cometh for thee

It's possible to do something so catastrophic it ruins the possibility of future time travel...

I had a coworker that called the Foster the People song, the gangster rap song. He didn't like it, but I thought the song was catchy. Depicting gross violence light-heartidly is artistic in itself and underscores how insidious a culture of materialism is. Envy is a deadly sin, but since that's all nonsense, I guess we can dismiss what our very eyes perceive. Maybe it's video games.

If someone knelt on a dog's neck for over 8 minutes, and the dog died, would you excuse it if the autopsy showed that the dog had heartworm and wouldn't have lived long anyway?

Underlying medical conditions don't change required behavior.

freebeard 06-11-2020 10:12 PM

Interesting appeal — to dog-love. "If it was a dog, you'd care". I'm immune. Did the dog do the heartworm recreationally?

Not trying to defend the guy held for murder.

Since I wrote that I've heard from a couple of sources, Neon Revolt and ???, that the Latin club where they both worked together was involved in counterfeit Chinese US dollar bills. But he was trying to pass a twenty. There is likely more to that story.

Fat Charlie 06-12-2020 08:57 AM

The dog is irrelevant, and that's the whole point.

If you put a dog under Chauvin's knee you can't bring up previous convictions, custody disputes, anecdotes from people from the same high school or any other irrelevancies that do nothing but distract attention from a cop kneeling on a guy's neck for 3 minutes after one of the other cops failed to detect a pulse.

When you can't distract with irrelevancies, you have to actually address the question of why Chauvin did that. Nobody took to the streets in support of fentanyl or counterfeiting.

A large amount of the so-called "protesters" are. They're just using the death of someone else as an excuse to commit crimes, because they're either following a herd-effect or already had a desire to raise all hell and just needed a random excuse that would be endorsed by the media.

I spent time as an armed occupier myself. Some of that time was doing what the MPs call "detainee operations". If I have a dog in this hunt, as it were, I'm coming from the viewpoint of the guy with a uniform, a weapon, a ton of buddies and the ability to literally write history by being the one to report the official version of the truth, with a ton of buddies to corroborate. Yet even with those duties and ability to act with impunity, I behaved the way I always had. Similarly to when people get old, they don't get crazy, they just become more fully themselves.

I was Chauvin. I was the armed guy in charge of the other armed guys, one who valued my guys' lives very highly; much more than I valued the locals' lives. I'm not ashamed of that- you can't have an army without "us" and "them" being baked into everyone from day one. And coming from a career that devalues the lives of everyone who doesn't wear the same uniform, I still can't come up with a story that makes Chauvin's actions reasonable. I can't even come up with one that makes them excusable.

All I'm asking is to examine Chauvin's actions. With Floyd in cuffs and on the ground, I can't come up with an excuse, much less a legitimate reason to kneel on his neck. I've never felt threatened by someone in restraints and I've never felt threatened even in a crowd as long as one of my guys had me covered. Killing or maiming a cuffed guy who hops up and charges you is child's play. Stopping a cuffed guy trying to hop up and get away is almost as easy, and would be much more entertaining. There are easier and safer (for the armed guy) ways to keep a cuffed guy on the ground than kneeling on his neck.

So let's stop focusing on backstories. I saw in the news that they had worked at the same place, saw that they had "butted heads" and saw that that person retracted his statement.

That's why I brought in the dog. Bringing Floyd's backstory into it is a distraction, because it's not relevant to the incident. Bringing Chauvin's backstory into it by introducing a relationship to Floyd takes it up to first degree murder because now you're making it look premeditated.

Let's simply look at what happened: Police responded to a report of a nonviolent crime. Four officers cuffed one man, and the senior officer knelt on the cuffed man's neck until well after that man died. The other officers audibly protested, but they did not have enough seniority to have enough confidence to protest more effectively. I agree they are legally liable for Floyd's death, but I am saddened by it. They were overawed by the officer who had been on the force for 19 years. They should have done better, but they deferred to seniority and are suffering for it.

But we aren't rookie Minneapolis cops at a crime scene with a 19 year veteran. It's clear why the new guys acted the way they did, but why did the 19 year veteran in charge of them act the way he did?
