U.S. Riots of May 2020 over George Floyd and others - ITT: a bunch of faggots butthurt about worthless internet stickers

He should be shot in the dick then in the head
OH

Thankfully Kyle had us cover

 

[Socrates]

Oh yeah, I agree with this.

One of the reasons I left my old job is that in my yearly review, my boss (who was a Software Developer himself) marked me as down as "quantity of work - below average" despite the fact that I was working 70 hours/week for a small company. And it wasn't because he was trying to prevent me from getting a raise either; he was genuinely pissed off at the whole team because the Sales/Marketing was asking for shit faster than we could deliver and then Sales was pissed at us about it so in turn the shit rolled downhill.

Hell yeah. It's your right as a goddamn American to tell your shitty boss to fuck right off.

 

[wopirish]

Omg sweet Jesus this is horrible. Kyle Rittenhouse killed someone truly heinous. This man deserved to be shot in the dick and die in that sort of pain.

I think... I vomited in my mouth reading that. And considering I can see guts and brains spilling out and go get lunch afterwards...... yeah.
Great work Saint Kyle!!

And if you remember what happened to Lefty's bicep (looked like someone took a handful of flesh and ripped it out) I can only hope that Rosenbaum's genital area looked like hamburger and chunky tomato sauce.

That's literally how the Kyle Rittenhouse situation started, and it's amazing that people don't make more of this.

What pissed them off in the first place was that they were literally rolling a dumpster fire towards a gas station, someone put it out (likely Kyle grabbed the fire extinguisher but gave it to someone else first), and the crowd got pissed off. Then stuff happened, they went after Kyle, you know the rest.

Idk im fucking torn. Kyle memed his way into my heart by killing and wounding one dipshit. But, the thought these idiots could have not only killed those protecting the gas station, but dozens of their own movement, and probably have been what got them labeled as terrorist is just a hilarious thought.

Nice try Karen, we all know why a white girl's dog would be "sticky" and it isn't because of an energy drink.

Im not for rebilitation. Im for penal colonies in Afghanistan

Depends on the crime, really. The drug and violence shit most bangers get up to stand a good chance at being fixed if put into a proper structured environment with the correct incentives. I know a few felons who turned their lives around after a stay in the penn.

Jo-jo was a lost cause though. You can't rehabilitate pedo.

 

[wopirish]

I dunno man. Probably played the "he was also a victim" card. Then they locked him up, did nothing about his weird behavior, made him worse inside the institution, then let him go.

Prison and sentencing reform is actually a legitimate issue in this country. Too bad the movement has been co-opted by crackpot abolitionist demagogues.

This dude needed to be killed, or castrated and put in an asylum for the rest of his life. Some people just shouldn't be outside.

 

[deeplyhigh]

So Rosenbaum was a boy fucker, holy shit that was disgusting to read. Could not finish the documents.

I agree with you that sunk-cost fallacy is a thing.

The problem with what you are saying is that I agree with it in theory, but in practice I think these old 60-70 year-olds that run these companies still have that mindset that their employees should be on site. Especially for IT jobs, which a lot of these companies see as a big expense with no return (IT employees don't bring in money since they don't sell things or close deals), and are constantly looking for younger, cheaper replacements.

Hopefully not a powerlevel, but right before I left my last job pre-COVID, the company was starting to go under, and the owners literally put a policy in place banning IT and software developers from working from home. I don't think COVID will change all of their minds.

TL;DR - Old people are stubborn and want employees on site since they don't trust employees to work from home.

I take the different opinion, which might come more from a British perspective on business (I don't particularly care for American takes on business or fintech, since I largely believe our perspective is too addled with arrogant, incumbent, inflexible multinationals). Covid sped up what was previously liable to take years and years to get accepted into the mean, both directly by making obvious how workable work-from-home can be and indirectly by killing off those dumb fucking boomers (more of a joke, but possible).

On some level, I don't personally believe that my place of work will ever fully require coming into the office again, but merely require one to be able to do so if needed. Studies will be done into productivity and output changes caused by the shift to WFH for a lot of these service industries, and it's already looking like it has a pretty minor effect. Rising prices of office space in cities, as well as people reacting to rising cost-of-living during a depression (we are getting one the instant that unemployment top-up ends)... will further push towards less office space, less demand to be in-office. Old boomers that refuse to get with the times will waste resources on the space and upkeep and get overtaken by more agile rivals (unless, of course, they're essentially enshrined, government-protected monopolies; but that's a part of why I don't really like the US perspective which is so rooted in Wall Street).

Assata Shakur - Wikipedia

it's important for everyone to have role models, y'know. And the women's march? and BLM hold this lady up as one of them-there

And so while randomly looking her up to shitpost, well, turns out she was represented by folks in league with that ol' storied classic the NLG. And then I learned that... there's a new Aaron Sorkin film coming out soon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trial_of_the_Chicago_7

Which actually seems like a fairly, uhh, relevant story to make a film about at the moment. Of course, there's a certain comedy that the reversal of all convictions for the Chicago 7 came after the 1972 election, in which the side that pandered to riotous elements, uhhh, lost really really fuckin' hard.



If all that matters is deliverables, then you just need to get your shit done. If you need to be around to coordinate with people, you can be around on slack (or other means) for set hours of the day, log what hours of the day you aren't available, and plan in advance to coordinate schedules. It makes raising children easier, it makes attending classes easier, it makes holding a second job easier, it makes travel easier, and the effects that it has on productivity don't seem to be remarkable (especially since much of the west has shit productivity atm anyways).

I say all of this as someone who fully prefers the scheduling order that going into the office grants. I would prefer to have the option to WFH as a possible benefit, since it would make taking classes much easier without necessarily barring me from going into an office environment otherwise.

Not going to PL too much, but @Rich Evans Apologist ’s observations are correct and are what is happening in the U.S. market at large too. Even IT workers are moving to 2-3 days in office and the rest are remote.

Sales and Marketing are always snakes that over promises and even will say stuff that is impossible to do, and they are praised for the lying. They throw everyone else under the bus, yet get coddled like how BLM/Antifa wants to be coddled, maybe if Sales/Marketing told the fucking truth about the protect there wouldn't be complaints, and deadlines would actually be met.

Actually since Antifa and BLM always argues that its not their fault, and about optics, and don't care about the facts... are they just Sales/marketing people?


How about Mao and his 45 million?

Trust me, the technical side of sales teams feel the same way. If they are good at what they do and care about their customers, they temper the sales person overselling. Many companies do not care, of course, but this is a losing long term strategy. The rarer software companies that focus on customer success and are agile are the ones challenging the giants.

Omg we need to get “sayhisname” trending for rosenbaum!

Our comrade Jo-Jo Rosenbaum was brutally murdered by a white supremacist mass shooter and nazis are smearing him as a pedophile when a progressive new California law would have kept him out of prison! #SayHisName

 

[Harvey Danger]

What's going on in Albuquerque? Some stream is circling around a hotel and saying "police are acting bad".

 

[LaxerBRO]

This is good news.

As Kyle is a minor and the Rosenbaum is a scumbag, any civil lawsuits solely on that case are gonna get barely any payout,

The bad news is that Kyle shot a couple people. Give me some puzzle pieces but shooting and killing someone fucks people up. I know we like to shitpost about minecraft this or minecraft that heck even I have been a little blase about using force against someone but until we actually pull the trigger, all that we have said is just talk...

I have heard of cops killing themselves and I have had people I served with kill themselves, after what was a wholly justified use of force. I truly hope the events of that night do not scar Kyle's life forever.

My opinion is use folks for a better end.

Tito did this. He would offer repeat offenders a nee identity if they went to live in capitalist countries or stay in prison. Most opted for leaving.

Afghanistan is a place of trouble for America.
Sending convicts to colonize the place would be the best option. Those who did small time crimes will be able to live freely in the colony. Those who cant be rebilated wont be a bother to fellow Americans. If they get up to some heinous shit the Taliban might handle them. If the hard cores cause trouble for Taliban then who cares?

 

[Random Internet Person]

Come on. It's not like biracial booksmart people get looked down on and called "one of 'dem smart niggas" for enjoying reading and math and being in the advanced classes at school by his black peers that don't value school or intelligence. It's not like Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was actually representative of a lot of the challenges actual intelligent black men face, especially from the biracial community that can't seem to fit into any of the class social groups entirely.

Not that I would know that personally or anything.

Man that clip has gotten a lot of mileage the last few months. Fresh Prince had no reason to be as good as it was.

Ah, got it. Knew they were related, wasn't sure of just how much.

Getting back on topic, apparently Trump just defunded NYC and several other cities.

So what exactly does this mean exactly? Cities can't ask for money to help with riot damages? No bailouts? Is New York in the 70s yet?

You guys remember the Austin shooting from back in July? Of the protestor open-carrying the AR while protesting with his paraplegic black wife? Turns out the shooter is an active duty U.S. Army sergeant, who was driving for a ride-sharing service at the time. No wonder this one got memory-holed: the sergeant hasn't even been charged, as he allegedly shot Garrett after Garrett pointed his rifle at the vehicle, and other protestors banged on and threw stuff at the car.

Article:

In an update the day after the 28-year-old died, Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said reports indicated Foster was carrying a rifle when he approached the suspect's vehicle. The suspect then shot out of their car at Foster, according to APD. Manley said that the person who shot Foster called 911 to report that someone had pointed a gun at his vehicle and that he fired at the person pointing the gun.

A lawyer identified the shooter as Daniel Perry, an active-duty U.S. Army sergeant who was working as a rideshare driver at the time of the deadly shooting.

Original post:

The driver claims it was a self-defense shooting after Garrett pointed the gun at him. The driver has a carry permit and has been released pending the results of the investigation. Hopefully this guy won't get the James Fields treatment. The carry permit, calling the police himself (once he was safe), and just the fact that it's Texas should work in his favor.

That presentence report still isn't going to matter to the narrative at all. Those docs aren't available publicly online - you have to go to the courthouse, pay the fee, get the docs, then scan them and upload them online. The only people willing to do that are right-wingers because no one in the media is going to dig into the history of these guys being pieces of shit.

So the narrative is going to be, regardless of how accurate our claims are, that it's just a bunch of conservatives with fake documentation trying to victim blame. Even if a right-wing news source like Fox gets hold of this and has iron clad proof that it's true, they're still going to deny all of it because "lol u can't trust fox news."

The people supporting rioters the last three months literally cannot be reasoned with in any way. They're too deep into group think. If the obvious video evidence of Kyle shooting in self-defense didn't change their internal narrative, this sure as hell won't.

 

[Random Internet Person]

Were protest chants always this annoying and confrontational? I only remember MLK and his friends dressing in their Sunday best and never agitating even if they wanted cops to make the first move.

If Cuomo mobilized the NG, Trump could call them in to federal service (Federal trumps State), and there is nothing Cuomo could do about it.
Eisenhower did that when the Arkansas governor activated the NG to stop the Little Rock Nine.

Cuomo is setting the same trap Wheeler and maybe Durkan did: hope Trump brings in the army and declares open season.

 

[deeplyhigh]

So what exactly does this mean exactly? Cities can't ask for money to help with riot damages? No bailouts? Is New York in the 70s yet?

Bigger than either of those. Cities get millions to billions in federal aid for various things. Trump is asking for the feds to review each line item for those four cities and threatening to take some or all of that aid away.

Notice how the misdemeanor assault charge from 2005 on this guy is considered important for the media to mention but the child rapes, spousal abuse, and burglaries committed by the three people shot in Kenosha are completely irrelevant to the question of their behavior on the night of the riots?
