Second face hit with a rubber bullet we've seen in two days. This guy took it in the best possible place, the forehead, other guy got it in the cheek. All I can think is that if one of those hits an eye or a mouth the resulting visuals are gonna be insane.
There was an Indiana man who lost an eye from a ricocheting gas canister during the summer of love. Unfortunately they settled with him for a bunch of money so he got some serious taxpayer money for losing the eye. Anyway, with a perfect shot doesn't matter if it's a beanbag or rubber, you're gonna lose some functionality at minimum.

And this is why Conservatives lost the culture war.

The stories humanity tells each other is one of the most important things that we do, if you can not understand that fact then you have ceded one of the most important aspects of society to your enemies.

Conservatives rejection of art have been one of their biggest L, instead of propping up their own artists and musicians they left them to die and wonder why all that remains in there are whiny leftists pedophiles.
I understand the want to have functional people, but the idea that people can't be hard working and expressive is one of those things that really bites boomercons in the ass. I get the impression we'll see less of that as the old GOPe types start getting filtered from the political milieu or dying off, but storytelling and escapism are both integral parts of human imagination and it is baffling how they managed to fumble the bag so hard on that concept.
He could have stayed a white nationalist and still have hung out with troons and furries; that's very common.
I was originally going to structure that explanation detailing the explanation between based historians and cringe historians concluding that both are gay, but being gay is cringe so I killed the idea and rewrote it.
 
Have previous administrations done this kind of "arrest cinematography?" Strikes me as kinda new and reminds me of what the El Salvadorean government puts out.
I can't remember any off the top of my head, but I am sure this White House has taken notes / inspiration from Bukele and his team.
 
The ball is in Trump's court, will he cuck out or will he shut this shit down? This seems like the first real test for Trump since he's been in office again.
I think he'll shut it down.
  • He's not running for re-election, and can pursue his agenda.
  • The midterms are still 18ish months away.
  • The Left don't have a martyr to rally around (yet), are leaderless, and are quickly making it all about their pet causes.
  • He's out ahead in terms of optics, they can't contain the images foreign flags and rioting.
  • Social media has been liberated from the Thought Police, and the raw footage is reaching the masses.
  • Nobody believes the dinosaur media's "muh mostly peaceful" balldodash anymore.
  • The authorities have acted proportionally and reasonably. All the footage shows the rioters are the instigators.
  • The rioters' win conditions are much steeper (stop all deportations). Trump's win condition is to maintain order until this blows over.
All signs from Trump indicate he's willing to see this through. He's not gonna cuck out on his biggest agenda piece.

I could be wrong. He might fuck it up. But it doesn't feel as hopeless this time around.

Between wanting to abolish ICE and defunding the police, why does the left want total anarchy? Why is the left's goal to spread mass chaos?
Open borders provides a lot of what they want, for the upper class trust fund class it provides cheap labor for their businesses, drives down working class wages, gives the working class average joe less power, allows drugs and human trafficking to flow.
Who do you think is the customer for all the human trafficking and drugs? Was the entire left declaring Hunter Biden the greatest coolest guy ever for fucking imported sex slaves and spending a fortune on drugs not make it obvious?
and for the low class scumbag leftist, they get to rape and loot and molest children and attack people, indulge all their urges and never get prosecuted for it as long as they're useful. Eric Clanton made it clear they could attempt murder multiple times and not be punished and that was YEARS ago now
 
100% of Indians and Brazilians re non white, why is there total COMBINED incarcerated people amount lower than ours, not per captia, not by some fucked measurement. 1.5 billion inidians and Brazilians have less criminals than the USA, how do you square that?
You mean Brazil, where the over capacity prison system will just let you die from TB? Or where the police just kill their niggers instead of arresting them?
In July the nongovernmental organization (NGO) Brazilian Public Security Forum reported that police (including federal, state, and municipal) killed 6,429 persons nationwide in 2022, an increase of 284 persons compared with 2021. Afro-Brazilians represented 83 percent of victims. According to some civil society organizations, victims of police violence throughout the country were overwhelmingly young Afro-Brazilian men.
According to the publication Metropoles, on May 12, the National Council of Justice reported 112,000 deaths in prisons between 2017 and 2021. The report concluded that diseases accounted for 62 percent of deaths. Some of the most cited diseases included heart conditions, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. The likelihood of inmates contracting tuberculosis was 30 times higher than in the general population. The study also indicated underreporting of deaths and concluded that many instances of so-called natural deaths were, in fact, the result of a long process of illness and lack of assistance.
And India, where prisons are operating at between 200% and 400% of capacity? You won't see a very high number in the prison population, because 76% of those incarcerated aren't convicted prisoners. They're people who are still awaiting trial.

But please, tell me more about these amazing shitholes that aren't locking up their undesirables.

Conservatives didn't reject the arts, the leftists that own the arts rejected the conservatives. You can't be a conservative in the media at a big company, you will be fired very quick as soon as any of your co workers finds out you're conservative. Ever wonder why every conservative in entertainment are only on websites like Youtube with their own independent operations?
