    Got enough scrap lumber to build a stout workbench in the garage of my first house... 1971, IIRC.

    Ha. I once took a ream of nails from a construction site when i was kid in the 80s. I'm lucky Fox and Jacobs didn't crucify me on the studs of the frame.

    I and my wife like to walk through the houses under construction in the new section while on our morning walks through the neighborhood. Sometimes in the evening after the contractors are gone.

    That's incredibly woke of you, Armybrat.

    Pete Freedman, from Central Trak, was on the Ticket here in Dallas just now. He said of the 60 people arrested over the weekend, only one was from out of state. The others were from Dallas and the immediate areas around Dallas. The brick piles were mostly confirmed to be from street construction as this construction was expedited since less people have been downtown because of Covid. City officials were taking the piles away. He was down at the protests and most of the damage was done by baseball bats. Said people's confirmation bias is heavily playing into this. DPD was noticing the brick piles in their heightened state of patrolling and then said over the scanners that the piles were there for the riots.

    Well I guess you just weren't woke enough, we've got clear testimony in the thread that it's all over the place.  Just coincidentally from the same posters that all claim to share a lifelong hobby of innocently trespassing through homes under construction. 

    (A hobby I'd also never heard of until a few weeks ago.)

     

    Funny. I show you evidence that this is bullshit and this is the response. This coupled with your response to brisket shows the conspiracy theories you traffic in.

    The great construction materials conspiracy is amazing.

    Can you imagine the years of permits, revision and site plan review they had to go through to get them hidden in plain site like that for this moment? Antifa is even more organized than I thought. I just wish they would adopt a broader design language than VMU because it's not contextually appropriate in a suburban setting. 

    Don't forget the invisible Antifa big rig that brings in and dumps off the brick piles, all without being noticed by anyone, including security cameras.

    Great job, detective. Now please explain where all the bricks are coming from in all of the videos online?

    Again, piles of construction bricks don't just sit uncovered in the middle of urban cores on streets and sidewalks. They are typically fenced in on construction sites...

    Oh, are they?

    Yes, you're right. No construction company would ever cut corners and take the cheap, lazy way out. No company ever drops off unsecured construction items for the crew to use later, knowing full well no one is going to mess with those items, outside of the rare downtown riot.

    I am interested to see if in these cities that historically have been blue politically yet still have this sort of race based policing and a history of police brutality if the voters come out in the fall and we start to see a viable third party emerge out of this.

    Time seems ripe for a change in leadership at the local level. It looks like African Americans are waking up to the fact that neither party truly protect their interests and I am curious to see if a third one emerges. Does the Progressive group split off and start their own party?

    The current "Big Machine Democrat" party doesn't stop the police acting as they do and the Republicans are absolutely not an option for African Americans.

    I am really curious to see what if anything happens in the fall.

    Totally unrelated but Mayor Adler showed what an absolute chicken shit he is (if you heard his interview on news yesterday) when he refused to go downtown and speak to protestors over fears of Covid-19. Guy could be masked/gloved/PPE up but he used that as his excuse.

    Sadly no. The levels where voting matters is not what people are interested in. People only come out for the macro elections where the person elected really doesn't affect you at a personal level. Votes for District Attorney, judges, city council, and country commissioners are always super low turnout events. And those are the people who have a stake in the hiring, firing, supervision, and prosecution of the PD.

    So the WH is reaching out to Black leaders for a "listening session."   What are the odds it will be Diamond & Silk and Tim Scott?

    He'll probably listen about as much as he listened to George Floyd's brother the other day. 

  10. Translation: he really doesn't give a shit about calming things when he can use the boogeyman, Antifa, to chum up the waters for the morons who follow him. Never has a President more abdicated their duty in a time of crisis than this chuckle fuck.
