Yeah, the Keesh Love attack and the Portland murder were pretty much memoryholed and no one I know irl is too aware of what happened there or even remember any of it anymore while everyone was talking about right wingers plotting (i.e. being entrapped by the FBI) to kidnap the Michigan governor because of Trump! (even though at least one of the accused is anti-Trump) and it will be a permenant fixture in our culture going forward about how evil and ISIS like the right wing is.
That kind of reminds me. Talking about memory holes.
We aren't far off the real storm being unleashed in but a few weeks time. From there the ride really won't slow down or stop. The rollercoaster we've all been riding these past months is just going to get higher and faster. No hot take there, I know.
But before that happens, I thought it would be good to put together a kind of TOP 10 or even TOP 20, come to think of it, of things that we all thought were new crossings of the Rubicon, of new 'normals' being introduced, of outrages that will never be prosecuted. Things have been moving so fast that we've all been guilty of just moving on to the next new latest headline - it's understandable. So that is why I think now might be a good time to take stock before things kick off and this whole year gets memory holed (well pre-election 2020 anyway). I think it's important.
Like the mother that got shot when she said 'all lives matter'. I want to do this from memory and see what I still got joggin' in my noggin.
In no particular order (maybe someone could help with doing a linear timeline as events unfolded), and also, fill in names and places as well. Maybe if a few of us come up with similar events we might get some kind of rough consensus going. I'll start.
So, there's the mother I just mentioned...
1: Mother who got shot when she said 'all lives matter', leaving a kid behind.
2: The black cop who had just retired and got shot at the beginning of the riots.
3: The tranny that got beat before the Marquise Love kicking of Truck guy and then vanished.
4: Marquise Love who nearly kicked Truck Guy to death. What happened to the accomplices?
5: The guy that was executed on the street by Michael Forest Reinoehl (had to look that up). What happened to the accomplices?
6: Kenosha Kyle, of course - not likely to forget him, but still, it was a major event.
7: The white boy that got stabbed by niggers in Ireland - total news blackout about that. He had his gofundme shoa'd.
8: Our boy here the last few days murdered in cold blood by 'Soycurity' that no one seems to know who he works for.
9: The pair of lawyers protecting their property. Is that story done and dusted or is there more to come?
10: The guy that ran over protesters who blocked the highway, with one of the girls dying, the other critical.
Damn, that's a pretty lousy list. Sorry. Really have been drinking too much beer through this whole shitstorm and my eggs are a bit fried. I know there's a lot more than that. I'll see if I can rustle up a few of the old dormant brain cells to help out.
Anyway, maybe if a few other people just did their 'TOP 10' off the top off their head, it might lead to something valid. I know the kid getting stabbed in Ireland is kind of off-topic, so we can leave that one out of the final list. And maybe if the lawyer couple story has reached a conclusion, maybe there's better things to take the slot. I'm thinking more things that have been memory-holed or are likely to be, so we don't forget post-election.
It shouldn't be too difficult. If you feel like playing, what would be your TOP 10 events of the past months that rustled your jimmies, and that you would like to see some kind of justice, or failing that, closure, for?
Anyone can play!
What would be good is if people could fill in names and times as they know them. Once we get a TOP 10 or TOP 20, it shouldn't be too difficult to put together a very simple infographic. Most of the sperging over this has been done and it's a shame to see it go to waste. I can feel there's a few events on the tip of my tongue that I've missed out, but even if only a few people participate, the blanks should get filled in quite quickly.
The resulting infographic would serve as a decent wake up call to normies as well, who maybe not being as autistic as us bunch of spastics, just haven't heard of half this shit in the first place. It's hard to keep up with it all, but even if we only put a few heads together, all the hard sperging we've done the past months might count for something.
I know that things like Kenosha Kyle will still be on the table in a year's time. But I'm also pretty sure that mother who said 'all lives matter' will be all but forgotten about. That would be a very sad thing.
Without googling and just going off memory, what are the TOP 10 things that have bothered you and stuck in your mind these past months?
EDIT:
How about Cannon Hinnant. SAY HIS NAME.
Fuck yeah! That was one of them. Thank you. I'll be adding the names here as they come along.
