You're wildly optimistic to give these people even 15 years. The average person dies with 10 years of starting meth. Drugs are rampant, and probably one of the main draws for anarchists. It's no mistake that antifa's stronghold (the PNW) is probably the most drug-friendly spot in America.

I haven't been able to find a city budget for Portland this year, but I suspect dire financial straits. The city is being beat like a pinata at a rave for epileptic kickboxers, with a 1-2-3 punch of corona then riots now taxpayer flight. The city services that keep junkies fed and housed will be running low on money, and the police are resigning in droves. I can't see a wrecked city prioritizing safe injection sites over keeping the lights on. Of course, stupidity seems to run deep there, so maybe it'll be the last thing before Portland is consumed by the abyss. Either way, once the programs turning their suicide into a slow bleed fail, you'll see these people meltdown like never before.

Then property values crash, and a new wave of hipsters and yuppies revitalize the economy, drawn by the lure of "culture" at a discount.

We'd be in uncharted territory, but I think once One-Party Rule is achieved they'd purge he super-woke administrative class, ie all those liberal arts associate professors and blogger-journos whose only function is kvetching about every newly invented slight, because they don't want the woke mob turning on them after it finishes dismantling straight white Christian males.

Unfortunately that "purge" won't be ditches and siberian camps, it'll probably be Bezos adding Buzzfeed and Vox to his WaPo collection, then consolidating and maybe giving the danger hairs a stipend to stfu or kvetch to a small, contained audience. Maybe Disney or Google or Starbucks get into the higher "education" business, combining all the "Studies" departments at Evergreen U. and offering the disgruntled subversives there tenured barista positions.

On the surface level things might not even change that much. The professional kvetchers could just cement themselves as a pseudo-priesthood, the grievance industry would effectively act as a hidden tithe on the rest of the economy. There's always going to be some little nitpicky way in which we'll have to "Do better", because you can't really maintain 1984-style perpetual warfare with that ideology, so they'd keep us on the treadmill this way.

And the problem should now be obvious if you think about it. Somehow, he was far enough away to draw his weapon, fire it, kill the suspect, and for the cars momentum to come to a halt... but somehow not be able to step aside.

That smells like bullshit.

It's even more bullshit than that, the person he killed was the passenger, the girl shot in the stomach was the driver who survived.

This article is really bad, but another version makes more sense.

It's not just that. California has a thriving Almond industry and they take a stupid amount of water to grow. But IIRC there's some legal / contract trick they have going on that makes it so California can't tell them to fuck off, to the point that California has to suck dry the next few states over of water to keep them going.

TBF I don't recall much about it other than ~5 years ago a whole shitload of articles from Vox et all about how that was a nefarious right wing conspiracy scapegoat to stop talking about the real problem: Climate Change, so it's probably spot on.
Click to expand...
Heres the stupid part about Vox et al. Climate is long term weather patterns, weather is dictated by water and heat (the sun), to take water out of the equation would cause a change in climate for an area.

But the misuse of "Climate" (again Vox et al) in "climate change" is annoying as fuck, the 2005 hurricane season didn't "prove climate change" nor would this season they are outliers in what has been a mostly quite 15 year stretch.

Imagine claiming that "Trump must be stop at all costs" "Hes gonna kill us all!" and that you really truly will do anything to stop Trump/the police/etc. But snow and it being cold is a reason to stop.

"We do this every night*"


*Unless its a tad bit chilly.

This just shows you they just want to fuck shit up and they don't believe the shit they are spouting.

Murder 3 charge against Chauvin dropped

Still 8 out of 9 charges dropped is not looking to great. They need to get this shit sorted out cause there are probably going to be massive riots after the 3rd. If this comes out at the same time its gonna be Def con 1 levels of shitshow. I hope I'm wrong and someone a few months from now can call me a nutjob but I 'm still expecting multiple lone wolf attacks to happen if this shit drops. Whoever is in control has made a prefect storm of autism.

In all honestly, its 100% within the interests of the Democrats to see that no charges stick at all. If they purposefully drop things that could stick, while keeping things that could potentially fall through, democrats will win big.

Governor Walz activated 100 NG in Minneapolis after the dropped charge was announced and Antifa Ellison made a statement about how this is an “important step towards justice for Fenty Floyd”. They seem to realize how badly the riots look for them in election season...$500 million in damages and 10+ years to rebuild later. :stress:

Anarcho-tyranny still reigns in Minneapolis though, as the truck driver who was pulled from his semi and beaten after avoiding a crowd gathered on the highway is being charged with a felony. No charges for anyone blocking the highway.

Problem is this guy has already been given bail and been allowed to leave the state. He wont get Murder 2 and the other charges are not going to satiated the mob. (To be fair the only that would satiate them is the mass conflagration of all police)

Could be, but remember that the rioting backfired and people don't like BLM anymore. If this was round one and we hadn't had 3 months of none stop violent rioting I might be inclined to believe you. What they could try to do though is get the charges to drop a day or 2 before Nov 3rd to frighted turnout because of the mass violence. Or they could be doing a slow drip and waiting for cold weather to drop the charges (Minneapolis is part of the frozen north after all) if they did that people would be much less enthusiastic about rioting through freezing nights. The other thing they could be trying to do is change the media narrative away from the Email scandal.

Still though any chance I get to use this I will

If he doesn't get charged with anything, and if they're going for 2nd degree murder and they can argue that floyd died of a fentynal overdose there's a chance of that, riots will be largely portrayed as justified by the media. Plus it will be a huge rallying cry for the dems on why more power needs to be given to dems, even though the whole incident takes place in a city, county and state under complete D control.

This is what is bizarre about that...the story indicates that Murder 3 is JUST for "shooting in to crowd" situations but I...I don't think that's quite right.

Let's compare the text:

Remember, this is "unintentional murder", so the first definitions wouldn't apply, and the second unintentional wouldn't either because it is limited in scope to be irrelevant (that's what comes after "or").
Second Degree:
Subd. 2.
Unintentional murders.
Whoever does either of the following is guilty of unintentional murder in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 40 years:
(1) causes the death of a human being, without intent to effect the death of any person, while committing or attempting to commit a felony offense other than criminal sexual conduct in the first or second degree with force or violence or a drive-by shooting; or​
Click to expand...

Third Degree:
(a) Whoever, without intent to effect the death of any person, causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life, is guilty of murder in the third degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 25 years.
Click to expand...

Unintentional second degree murder relies on that felony offense aspect, which I don't think we saw Chauvin commit in that video.

The only logically consistent explanation which takes facts in evidence at face value that I can come up as a dumbass not-lawyer is the theory that Chauvin being convicted of Second Degree Manslaughter would provide the requisite felony offense to satisfy the murder 2 statute, but that doesn't sound like the correct way of going about things at all...

The less insane legal theory would be that this is putting the ball on the tee to defeat murder 2 in court, but the logical reasoning to get there seems faulty to me.

I'll point out that Justine Damond's shooting was...well, a shooting, and strictly speaking any reckless gunshots which kill someone could qualify for the elements of Third Degree Murder given how bullets and ricochets work which satisfies the faulty sounding logic the judge appears to be using...I guess?

Final thought, possibly crazier, is that they are crossing off murder 3 because because they don't have evidence for it. Which would be admitting that Chauvin's actions weren't eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life and that they can only prove that Chauvin's actions "creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another" which would be in line with restraining an ODing junkie until they died but not actually causing that dead with direct actions to harm that person.

For clarity if that's the actual theory in place, that would explain the faulty logic to get there: we can't actually admit that Chauvin didn't actually kill Floyd with that knee because that might be worse practically than him getting off on Murder 2 and dinged on Man 2. After all Benjamin Cru the people rioted for Murder 2 and by golly they will get it...right up until they don't.

I'm not a fan of White supremacist stuff, but it's getting pretty annoying to see lefties chimp about racist caricatures when they're about non-whites but laugh at Borat even though he's just Eastern European blackface.

> haha, nigger eats watermelon! *riots*
> haha, European guy supports fascism and fucks goats! *clap clap clap*

Kazakhstan is actually in Asia, but most people don't know or care.

Those "Eastern Europeans" are just white in their eyes so it's ok. I say this as a joke but it's probably reality.

Your not saying anything here I disagree with, there is a strong possibility that these are the steps the Dems will take to react to the riots. I just don't think the riots are really going to help the Dems. If you remember back in May-June-July time frame the main narrative was "peaceful protests" because "viva la revolution! and dat fariee shiiiit!!!" doesn't resonate with...well people who don't like to live in cities that have constant riots. If the Dems are trying to stirr up riots again I think it will do the same thing as last time and remind people that they want law and order.

So the only reason I could see the Dems trying to stirr shit up is to try to reset the media narrative away from the Email scandle. If that is the case I think this is an exceptionally desperate move to make because I believe it would cause them a lot of damage.
