"Boogaloo Boys"? White Supremacists? Nazis? Many of the 'outsiders' arrested for violence or arson or other destructive behavior have been shown to have ties to those sorts of groups.

Of course you didn't hear anything about it. Anyone who said anything faced consequences. You didn't read the article, did you?

So show them. Post your own pics that show the similarities between CHAZ & Mogadishu. One similarity - Once the people stood up for themselves, the government cut and ran. Got any solid proof of any of your allegations? Or do you just believe what the Alt-Right propaganda machine spews out? And there are some solid indications that Covid doesn't spread well outdoors. The air moves too quickly. Plus, as Bill noted, most of the folks in those pics are wearing masks. And many seem to be keeping a distance from each other. Inside, however, it stays put. Places like churches or large crowded arenas (like where political events are held) are excellent places for super spreading events. Soyboy is a slur based on the (false) idea that eating soy lowers your testosterone. It makes one 'less manly'. Used primarily by... The Alt-Right and white supremacists. Go figure. https://www.google.com/search?q=soyboy+meaning&oq=Soyboy+&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l7.8425j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

How would it feel to be a black soldier stationed at a base named for a Confederate 'hero'? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/11/us/politics/military-bases-confederate-names-trump.html

There is no 'Orgainzed Antifa'. None. The big protests a few years ago were little more than really big flash mobs. Of course, because the Alt-Right needs a demon to hate, they've adopted the fantasy that Soro & Gates are funding all of this. And, again of course, because the Alt-Right wants to see death & destruction (Ron's SHTF fantasy), they are out there in the mobs, trying to sow the seeds of destruction, hoping it will get blamed on "Antifa". They made the predictable & foolish mistake of promoting it. They call it 'boogaloo'. What's interesting is that the only ones buying into this idiotic fairy tale are the very ones perpetrating it. Or supporting the perpetrators.

While I largely agree that most cops are good people, the reality is that ALL OF THEM participate in cover ups of these sorts of actions. That 'Blue Wall of Silence' is very real. The idea of 'snitching' on their brother officer is absolutely impossible for most (if not all) cops to swallow. It can be a very dangerous proposition. Read "Serpico" sometime. This has happened for ever. However, the rise in video surveillance and the fact that everyone has video recording capability in their pocket has made the ability of police to successfully lie their way out of these sorts of things pretty much go away. The report of the George Floyd death failed to mention the knee on the neck part. The report in Albany said the old man fell. ANd on and on and on...

Oh please. We're well into the "horse smoothie" phase.

Gotta love how Flynn is almost certainly guilty of perjury, no matter what the truth is (he told two very different stories under oath). And the rule of law is still here... For now. McConnell is confirming Federal Judges at an insane pace. How many of THOSE will hold to the rule of law?

Interesting. Keep in mind that if you go far enough (on the earth) either East or West, you end up at the same place. By the same token, extreme communism or extreme fascism are very similar. The differences between the Soviet Union under Stalin and Germany under Hitler are fewer than the similarities.

Are the cops going to be charged? Criminal damage to property is a crime (duh). However, if the damage is over $1000, it becomes a felony. It would depend on whether or not all the cars would be lumped into one offense or not. Some good tires can top $1k per set.

How the hell did this come back from the dead?

When their voices are unheard, they speak in a manner that cannot be ignored. MLK said something to the effect that 'riots are the language of the unheard.'

Well, many of the bystanders were calling for the cops to let Floyd up. A few approached, but were shoved back and threatened with pepper spray and arrest. There were 4 cops, three of them would have been able to take care of several bystanders. If not, I have little doubt that they would have put the pepper spray away and pulled out their guns. To think that a lone bystander could have stopped Floyd's death is pretty ridiculous. Not surprised at all at who thinks it's possible. Or at least pretends to.

I didn't search for it, but what is the percentage of positive tests? Here in Wisconsin, testing has gone up significantly. So have positive results. However, the percentage of positives has stayed somewhat level (it goes up and down some on a daily basis).

No. He said Hemingway came to mind because he was reading "Call of the Wild". And on a different note: You claim you don't like bullies, yet you support Trump. How can you support someone who mocks the disabled, tells a crowd to 'rough him up, I'll pay for your lawyer', who uses insulting, juvenile names for those he dislikes, who insults, attacks & denigrates anyone who disagrees with him? And who calls Nazis & KKK "very fine people". You claimed a couple weeks ago that the comment was taken out of context. I asked you to please give the context where it is anything other than utterly disgusting. Still waiting.

The ALU has filed a lawsuit against the Minneapolis police for targeting journalists. The claims in the story are very disturbing. For the cops to act that way is appalling. https://gizmodo.com/minneapolis-cops-sued-for-shooting-beating-and-gassin-1843887290?utm_medium=sharefromsite&fbclid=IwAR1dTG_G5Nz3EGUGFdYeHLyw03_YQ9B63skLq2jNInS2t1XrlIa4AFP2e9U

Those two are mutually exclusive. You can rebel against the country or support it. You don't get to do both. Not at all surprised you don't get that.

RIght. He also seems to think Hemingway wrote "The Call of the Wild".

Lots of people & places have old gear sitting around. I don't doubt that someone would give you a few for this. The first place I'd check would be the loft at your DZ.

It can be overcast, with the clouds high enough to not be an issue. Or the clouds can be scattered, and you jump 'around' them. There's enough light with an overcast for the video to be fine. If the clouds don't stop the jump from happening, I'd go.

Just like the Onion or Babylon Bee. Shit has gotten so weird these days that what used to be obvious satire is now reality. The satire and 'provocative fakes' haven't gotten any better. Reality has just gotten that much worse.

Yeah, you always have to check the date on those kind of things.

I find it rather amusing that you have to explain trolling.

#1 - I commend you for recognizing a problem and searching for answers. Really. I fully agree with Jerry's comments in post 11. However, this has been discussed before. This thread was spun off of an "Incidents" thread, when it got too far off the actual incident: But it covers what you are thinking about. There are a few posts from 'RiggerLee'. He's probably the smartest and most experienced guy on here when it comes to stuff like this. Last I heard, he was designing and building recovery parachutes for rockets.

Oh yeah. There are a wide variety of ways to inflict significant pain, without ANY risk of permanent harm or death. The pinches you describe are one, bending fingers in ways they don't normally bend is another one. There's a huge difference between enforcing compliance through pain and brutality.
