Audibly gasped.

A lot of these videos have been shocking. I audibly gasped at this one. https://t.co/xiS5ppOV79

I've been staying away from such comments, but that is absolutely an appropriate response to the fucker who threw that. That was attempted murder. And in point of fact, we don't know the extent of the officers injuries.; 8/28/20, 12:43 PM

What happened to "protest zones" that kept and separated moonbat activists away from people attending a political event. It's just more evidence the democrats need to be put down like the rabid animals they are.

This is the same shit that happened down in San Jose in 2016 where Trump rally attendees where jumped by democratic thugs and the cops passively stood by.

As an aside, statehood for DC? Hah. FUCK OFF. They are a branch of the democratic party and should remain forever in guardianship by the Federal government.; 8/28/20, 1:01 PM

Temujin said...: In Portland, Mayor Ted Wheeler finally came out yesterday to say the violence has to stop. This is something he needed to say and take action on 90 days ago when this started. Ninety Days, people. To say he is feckless is to demean that word. Likewise, the Washington Post, New York Times, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, NPR, et. al. have all been playing around like there's nothing but peace among the disenchanted youth.

These people, these Democrats, have shown their stuff. They've shown they are more interested in the destruction of our country- and race relations- than they are the truth, in order to gain power. That's it. They are demanding power, and they know they will probably not get it through a lawful election process, so they are doing two fronts: (a) Their "civil" approach is to allow the election to take place, but only with national mail-in voting along with ballot harvesting. If that doesn't do it, then (b) all out anarchy.

Power is the goal. They like to use the phrase, "by any means necessary". They mean that. We need to understand that.; 8/28/20, 1:07 PM

TreeJoe said...: People who are seeing this but not in it, or not seeing it and therefore ignoring that its happening, don't understand - that's assault with intent to cause serious and potentially fatal bodily harm. If that happened to me while attempting to enter my vehicle and I responded with deadly force, why would I not be justified as a citizen? When you throw something heavy into the back of someones head, you don't know the outcome besides it's going to hurt them alot.

When it's in the middle of a riot against police/institutions, at night, and it's against police...and the surrounding people are just gleefully filming it/accomplicing the act, why wouldn't police be well within their rights to begin using deadly force?

To put this another way: Law and order has broken down in these situations and it's playing out frequently. The rioters are gradually stepping things up. What comes next isn't GOOD for the rioters. It's disastrous for society as a whole.; 8/28/20, 1:39 PM

"It is false, ‘says Napoleon, `that we fired first with blank charge; it had been a waste of life to do that. Most false: the firing was with sharp and sharpest shot: to all men it was plain that here was no sport...."

Never understood how mass slaughter (think a gigantic shotgun loaded with angular metal fragments) would have been a waste of life. Now I get it. These last months would have been very different if the Portlandian or the Seattlean principled barbarians had been offered the whiff of grapeshot in the beginning, instead of tongue baths from mayors and councils.; 8/28/20, 1:40 PM

This is how right media should mock the left's misrepresentations, but the subject can't be police since violence against them doesn't move BLM.

That looks like a lid from a municipal garbage can. It is not tin, it is stainless steel and probably weighs five or ten pounds. That was a good throw, too. I don't deprecate the other attacks, not in the least, but let me hit you in the back of the head or neck with even the blunt edge of a five or ten pound ax or sledge, and see how long it takes you to recover your pearls.

The fact that it looked absurd did not mean that it was not serious. The fact that Huber attempted to decapitate the boy in Kenosha with a skateboard, instead of a katana, was no less serious for being absurd.; 8/28/20, 2:16 PM
mikee said...: The Austin police used a line of mounted officers to disperse the local ruffians, recently.
Apparently rioting isn't much fun, when it results in bites from angry horses and kicks from iron-shod hooves. I suggest the officers in other locations try the same. Even kids in Madison should know not to hit a horse, and if not, they'll learn.; 8/28/20, 2:18 PM

8/28/20, 1:14 PM

I mean, I agree with everything you just said. Americans used to be capable of shocking cruelty to minorities, but especially to the native tribes- most of which no longer exist outside the sufferance of the government. They used to have a functioning Christian society that would have expelled the entire Epstein family long before he could corrupt the nation itself. In short, they used to be way less sensitive.

Have you considered that Americans would generally go back to the bad old days, rather than continue worshiping "Queen Bey" and pro athletes, if that's what it took to make their cities livable again? Nelson Mandela enjoyed many advantages your people simply don't have, and he lost his military campaign. HORRIBLY. You should get with the program like Clarence Thomas and Ben Carson, before you face the fate of the Sioux.

Please don't think I wish terrible ill upon you. Black people simply aren't the leaders of the BLM movement. Oh, eventually we gotta make an example of the rioters, but I don't feel like hunting down black people. It's the leaders I'm after.; 8/28/20, 2:22 PM
Narr said...: It says a lot that I was expecting worse . . .

Some thoughts occur to me, in the spirit of Whatiffery.

What if local police, on a nationwide cooperative networked basis, were to declare say, 9-11-20 as "Stay Home From Work Day"? If only a fraction participated, it would still be a great real-time experiment, and not beyond their technical and organizational capabilities.

Or even bigger, what if the working taxpaying man and woman decided, en masse, to do that?
The police, fire, EMS all just walking away . . .

Wouldn't the keening and ululation be delicious to hear?

Roughcoat said...: Original Mike:

I am much improved, thanks for asking. Test results came back negative for Covid but they want me to test again in 7 days because they don't trust the results and because my symptoms were so severe out of the gate they want to be sure. I don't have a fever today and have gone off Tylenol, if I can remain fever free for 72 hrs without Tylenol I'll have cleared a major bar. Still very weak and feeling much crappy but I'm a long LONG way from the death-spiral misery I felt I was in 3 days ago. I asked my doc if it's not Covid what is it? He said there are several nasty and possibly as-dangerous viruses going around that have not received much notice because Covid is getting all the attention. He also speculated that it's possible I may have contracted West Nile or Lyme, as I spend a lot of time in the field with my dogs. That had not occurred to me and we're looking into it. In the event, and since I had all the symptoms of Covid (except lung congestion) to a severe degree, we're looking in that direction and proceeding accordingly.

Now that I tell people it looks as if I don't have Covid but something else they roll their eyes and go, "Oh, so it was never that serious to begin with." I guess if you're not actually stricken by the world's most notorious disease but something as bad and possibly equally dangerous you don't rate as much sympathy. Jeez.

**************

Look: if you throw an object like that at ANYONE and hit him you would up for assault and battery in a heartbeat. Unlike you, the law doesn't engage in prissy distinctions about whether it hit with a force that YOU consider inoffensive: it obviously knocked the officer to the ground and injured him. The person you attempt to harm doesn't even have to suffer injuries---it's your ** intent** to do, or your intent to instill fear, that counts.

Your argument is a lot like a guy who holds up a liquor store while brandishing a pistol and gets shot by the owner. It doesn't do the perp any good to claim it was only a fake gun. He intended to instill deadly fear in the owner.; 8/28/20, 6:28 PM

Even though my own family never enslaved anyone (at least not in the slice of history we're talking about, and based on my family's general low degree probably not ever) and most of it came to this continent after the Civil War and lived in very rural Wisconsin and Quebec, I'm not insensitive to the fact that some of the descendants of the enslaved and of the victims of Jim Crow might find it overwhelmingly difficult to move beyond that history.

That doesn't mean I think they shouldn't try. Trying to move beyond your history (or your ancestors', or that of people who might or might not be your ancestors) and to move forward from the present as it actually is seems to correlate with better life outcomes.; 8/28/20, 9:12 PM

Now tell us this is all our fault.

That's the thing. It's really hard to get any American to be a foot soldier against their will. Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz are not blacks, to put it mildly. There are some black men with a great grudge against the government. And there are many, many more without either the desire or the ability (often both) to be cannon fodder.

The left really doesn't know what it's doing.; 8/29/20, 4:49 AM

Women have paid a price for that. And this was just a few dozen men.

So what has BLM done for the black community and what consequences and 'trustworthiness' do you think that this community has shed as a result of this?

For that matter, how much faith and Good Will has the Academy shed for writing their shitty racist books?; 8/29/20, 11:09 AM

But I saw it hit; saw him fall and lie there like a dead man for a few seconds - definitely stunned - if I were next to him I certainly could have taken his gun before he knew it or could resist.
