Random thought: I think it's time the world got a sequel to Urban Chaos: Riot Response. (Not IRL plz.)

feds and a few politicians gotta work at night so being open this late makes sense. what doesn't make sense is why they'd still be open in the middle of a fucking riot in their city.

Damn. Hiro Protagonist better be the one delivering those fucking pizzas.

I don’t like technocracies either, but these solutions are dumb. We need more police because of all this exceptionalism.
 
After ganging up on a downed officer repeatedly, police fought back against the excessive savagery. Of course the one recording it cuts out the start and tries to spin it into a police brutality narrative. Literal dindu nuffins.

Source on the second video? The guy in the second video doesn't appear to be the same person in the first. Different shirt under the hoodie and he's wearing shorts.
 
I really hate this argument theyre constantly pulling. Do they really think that insurance companies have enough liquid assets to compensate all this damage? Do they honestly think that small businesses will receive anything but a pittance after all this is over?

And even if they do, their premiums will prolly shoot up so high they won't be able to afford staying in business. The ignorant motherfuckers need to understand the idea of actions having consequences. Fuck me, this is such a shitshow.
Amazon corporate feudalism is laughing in slave labor right now.
 
I can guarantee we've surpassed the LA Riots by now, it's just still too chaotic to get a definite body count and determine the cost of damages (i'm placing my bets on billions so far)
7 fucking days and we still haven't deployed the military to clean this shit up. absolutely disgraceful.

Last night's body count was 6. LA riots body count was 63.

But tonight's body count will include cops. That's the wildcard for tomorrow night's response.
 
So, you know when I said that these riots weren't nearly as bad as some of the Golden Oldies.... well we are getting close to the LA riots in terms of death, and I have no idea on the property damages side of things. Let's just hope that it doesn't get to 1968 levels.

For those of you who live in Blue States and are just now thinking about getting a gun, you will probably have to go though a "waiting period" to get your firearms. So, you may want to go ahead and move on it now instead of waiting until it gets really bad. Get to know your local gun laws. I know most would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6, but going to jail for something preventable it not a good way of doing business.

It looks like this is going to be a bumpy ride, but we will make it through this. So don't go do something stupid, like starting a one man crusade against against the looters and communists. It won't help. It never helps.

On the other side of the coin, talk to your neighbors, feel them out. At best, you have a future battle buddy and neighborhood defender. At worst you have a future raider. It is good to know where they stand before it comes to something like that. Having IRL friends helps with depression too. Some of you need them.

Don't get too down in the dumps, it will get better. But, it would be nice to have you all along for the ride when it does. Stay safe out there Kiwis, and laugh at the internet while you are at it!
Maybe cancel those smartphone contracts? Why pay $50 a month when your shit is gonna be out of service for the next 3 months?
Will they jam the WiFi too? Looks the the anti-5G nutjobs will be happy...

Landlines and modems make a come-back?

About 500 pages ago, it was suggested that many insurance policies won't pay out for property damage and/or theft sustained as a result of civil unrest.
And even if they do, their premiums will prolly shoot up so high they won't be able to afford staying in business.

That's assuming a policyholder is fortunate enough to be covered for damage caused as a result of this event. Again, depending on policy and insurer.
The ignorant motherfuckers need to understand the idea of actions having consequences. Fuck me, this is such a shitshow.

This is something I have thought about before, but the question for me has always been "who will be our Franco?" Large sections of the Spanish military and (crucially) the Spanish officer corps/military brass were very politicized by the time Franco stormed in from the Canary Islands and kicked things off. The other key element that exacerbated the civil war was foreign intervention, with heavy support from Mussolini and Hitler playing a decisive role in ensuring Nationalist victory over the Soviet-backed Republicans. It is interesting to think about which foreign actors would intervene in Civil War 2.0, and which side each would be on. Would Russia and China be on the same side, or would they both try to play both sides? How would Israel get involved? Would the Saudis have a role?
First war where aerial carpet bombings was invented. I believe it was called guernica and Picasso made a mural about. Won't be surprised though if some degenerate painted BLM on it some day. Hitler's luffwaffe invented that shit and in the end get btfo out by it when the Lancaster Mark IV and B-17 flying fortress were invented.
 
Working in logistics currently and everything is fucking late all the time, if it shows up the same day at all. Probably depends where you live though too.

Speaking as someone who works in manufacturing/logistics. Supply chain is still getting fucked by Corona. A good deal of our plants are running with as little as 40% staff because of the kiss of corona chan. With this latest bullshit we've had tractor trailers stolen and all the product on them stolen. Don't expect to see stuff come on time. Expect to see certain things out of stock for a long time.

Military is probably planning, they don’t want to walk in with any recon.

No lie; for California at least; we got the 1st Marines at Pendleton (Los Angeles), we got the 3rd Air Wing at Miramar (San Diego), the Navy and Coast Guard at every fucking inch of coastline. Seattle has Whidbey Island, Chicago has Great Lakes, the entire DC Coastal Area is one big military complex. If they want to, all they need to do is give the word and you'll see the kind of shit people will write books about well into the future.

Edit: Can't forget my brothers in Texas... those fucks have so many joint bases, they have fucking everything except nukes down there.
