The joke was that the guy was definitely of negroid descent in the video. Which won't stop the news from reporting his as a proud boy or member of the 3Ks
Beginning to wonder when we'll see actual bombings. Perhaps the rioters smart enough to put an IED together also realize it would likely do massive collateral damage to their own people.
That would atleast be respectable. Say what you want about the sand people in the middle east, or the IRA, or even Nelson Mandela's crowd in South Africa - all of those people had/have the balls to actually fight and not just play a bait game to try and get good optics going. These faggots are failing at both, dont believe in what they say, and everytime there is a bit of resistance they run away screaming like bitches.
It's a larp. This country is being held up by children larping.
Washington and Oregon have some ugly motherfuckers in their prisons. We're talking serial killers, dudes running drug slinging orgs that brought in like a million dollars a day, stone cold fucking killers, serial rapists.
And these assholes want them back on the street?
Yeah, I don't see how that's in the public's best interest.
it's very important to always keep this in mind. it would be very easy for the police to set up a perimeter, surround the mob, box them in, and then pummel them into submission with tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets and batons until every last one of them submits to arrest.
follow up by having every single one of the arrested charged and prosecuted for disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, breaking curfew, resisting arrest, etc and you'll have riot-free streets within just a few days.
nothing about this situation is a matter of "we can't stop it", it is entirely a matter of "we don't want to stop it"
An east euro drug dealer I used to know kept his drugs in a bucket in toilet bowl. The toilet tank was replaced with what looked like a 55 gallon drum, the flush handle was rigged with a solenoid, and that was connected to a door alarm via some relays, and a wireless doorbell used as an on/off switch.
That's some beginner shit by Slav standards. All the ones I knew had false floorboards, some even had it rigged so the stash would drop down to the apartment below where that person would then stash it. It sounds like that guy was overthinking it tbh, you never want to risk flushing the product. He would have been better off keeping the porcelain unbolted so he could lift the toilet up to gain access to the product stashed within the dry shell around the base.

And more to the point, if these protests were white people pushing back onthe restrictions imposed because of the pandemic, they'd have been shut down the same day.
Black privlidge, isn't it? Being able to protest, burn cities down, throw rocks at the Police. So long as you claim to be protesting fo dem Blax then you can get away with actual murder. There's a problem with racism in the USA for sure, but it's not the one people think it is.
Very much so. And that was my point - that the human eye only perceives a fraction of that again. So damage can occur outside of visible frequencies, hence me quoting my experience with YAG lasers (outside the EMS for humans). At least the visible spectrums are picked up on by the eye and therefore the blink response can avoid permanent damage when dealing with a Green or Red or Blue laser. YAG transmits outside that range.
Sure. But you could block outside visible frequencies with no effect on vision. Also I just realised that you could use substances that either absorb or reflect, so it wouldn't necessarily be black. But it would be totally opaque and useless.
Thank you for providing my point of the political black and white divide that's currently happening. I'm "un-American" because I'm expressing distaste or offering criticism against Trump.
People have gone through great lengths to sabotage their own country's interests for their own selfish desires.
I have no political backing long term. I am an average person looking at what's happening. A "normie" you would say. I have nothing to gain for picking either side in this fight. The American people are the real victims in this tug of war between extremism and one sided political correctness.
These are bad takes. Trump is not the cause of these riots. You have a group of people who are trying to change America to not be America anymore. Anybody who stands in the way of that would get this reaction. This is merely Trump's turn to be the face of standing in the way but this would have happened as long as there was any resistance to that change.
You aren't un-American for criticizing Trump. You would be un-American if you supported a group that has explicitly stated they are un-American and plan on changing America radically. If being angry at people wanting to radically change your country to be something it isnt is selfish, then altruism doesn't exist.
And you're wrong. You have some semblance of a functional state to gain in this fight. Watch the videos and see how these "protesters" are behaving and listen to what they are saying. It isn't a game and if they get their way the change they will do will be horrible for you and everybody. People get upset with comments like yours because it sounds like it's coming from a place of naivete that doesnt comprehend the magnitude of the situation.
That was what I was trying to convey with my statement.
According to these rioters, Donald Trump is trying to create a fascist state to beat up "peaceful protesters." Actual video footage, archived and posted, proves otherwise. It's propaganda at its most blatant.
You expect me to believe that Feds just show up out of nowhere just "beating up peaceful protesters", despite the many burnt buildings and stolen property shown on camera?

The centrist, fence sitting approach won't work in this instance. In some cases, you HAVE to pick a side. I am aware of what's happening, but I don't want it to be a 24/7 cycle in my life watching destruction because their local government doesn't want to put their foot down. Until it comes to them.
The reason Donald Trump is the only hope of fixing this because the Democrats sabotaged themselves several times trying to get him out, at the expense at others.
I understand those voting for Trump because of that.
It was some troon/faggot with a speaker, an actual corded microphone and a white helmet on. Was at about 5:15am Portland Time, 26th July, on Andrew Kimmell's stream. If anyone does want to clip it.
The streamer, Andrew Kimmell also said that the ACLU are collecting the gas canisters etc to collate for an upcoming case against the feds and PPB, as well. He was collecting them. They're going to use it to show "how many munitions" or some shit that the feds/police have fired at "the peaceful protesters".
What is the ACLU going to do? "The feds should have handed over the courthouse to the "Peaceful protesters"?
Come on severance state, you better show that judge all the shit you have on them.

I left out the treason sections as Treason has special conditions for a guilty verdict outlined in the US constitution and I don't see any one compelling to be a witness against the accused that would also incriminate them selves. (18 USC §§ 2381 - 2382 for treason laws, US Constitution Article III Section 3 for how to be guilty of treason)
I also left out 18 USC § 2385 due to a chance of it being challenged under First Amendment concerns.
Plus possible charges for violations of oath of office and the like,
From your posts in this thread, you've always seemed like a reasonable person with good intentions, so I want to address some of the points you made in good faith.
First, the federal police are not letting these cities burn just to spite leftists. Violently ending any riot/protest has historically been a bad move, no matter how justified the police were in doing so. Almost every historical instance of it is almost always titled as a "massacre", and the police know this. Shit, even in American revolutionary history think of the "Boston Massacre". It began over an argument caused by a 13 year old shop assistant falsely accusing a British captain of not settling a debt to a shoemaker, and the 7 soldiers were surrounded by an angry mob of 400 people, literally taunting them to fire and pelting them with clubs and thrown shit. Did firing upon the crowd disperse them? Yep. But it also galvanized the revolutionaries, and the fact that the event is historically referred to as the "Boston Massacre" is pretty self evident point.
Next, I want to give some perspective on the Trump hysteria. I'm not saying that Trump is perfect, nor that Trump is beyond reproach. I have my own criticisms, but the hysteria against Trump is fucking insane and disproportionately huge. For some context, I live outside the US, in a city that's not affected in any real way by anything Trump does. And I work in an industry that is 100% not affected by America. In this past week two insane political scandals/events just happened, one of which deeply involves the leader of my country.
This past week, in my own countries politics our No. 1 political leader got exposed for a massive ethical violation of accepting payola "donations" from a charity that was then awarded a multi-million dollar government contract.
In my country, the bill that enshrines our rights, freedoms, and civil liberties has a proviso that these rights can only be restricted out of dire need when a state of emergency is declared. To enforce all the COVID lockdown laws, they had to declare a state of emergency, and then keep re-declaring it to continue the lockdown. This week, my equivalent of a state government passed a bill that allows for them to restrict those rights and freedoms outside of a state of emergency (and with no oversight) for the next two years "to help safeguard against COVID", despite the fact that in a population of almost 15M people we currently have less than 2k active infections, and less than 3k deaths total. Despite having such low numbers we still have insanely restrictive lockdown laws, which the politicians justify by stating that "we don't want to end up like America/Florida".
This Friday, my coworkers/bosses opened the morning meeting shitting on Trump for being 'dumb' because he 'bragged' about the difficulty of some test he took. Never once have they brought up my countries politics (despite these massive political events in my country this week), or mentioned any aspect of US politics that isn't just "Orange Man Bad". And outside of the Trump sperging, these are all fairly reasonable, pleasant, and intelligent people. The media/social media hysteria of "Orange Man Bad" is so intense that people in a different country unaffected by his decisions spout "Orange Man Bad" just from their only real exposure to US politics and events being MSM. I never saw any behavior like this from people here during Obama, Bush (father or son), or Clinton. So, you have to ask yourself: "Are Trump's actions so egregious that they justify the level of outrage on a social and media level?".
As an outside observer, my answer is no, they are not. If Trump was truly "part of the problem" in these riots, he would have sent in the tanks and Tienanmen Squared CHAZ. In a revolution, if you want to protect your people the worst thing you can do is give the revolutionaries martyrs. Forcibly ending these riots would only provoke more unrest. And the Federal government knows that too, which is why they're making the smart move of just bottling the riots and letting them either fizzle out, or the rioters start taking actions that will justify full force (armed insurrection, terrorist bombings, etc.).
Forcibly shutting down riots/protests does very little to stop a movement. Dogs, firehoses, and nightsticks didn't stop the civil rights movement, police and construction workers beating the fuck out of protesters didn't stop the anti-vietnam war movement, and given China's insane level of monitoring, censorship, and oppression of their own people, even rolling tanks in and gunning all the protesters down didn't help stop the unrest. It only fuels it. The only way to win is not to play.
