    My most vocally anti-vax/anti-mask Facebook friend caught it and is now complaining about body aches and exhaustion.

    Is it just me, or are the screenshots not showing up for anyone else?

    More than a year after George Floyd’s death, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a stack of bills on Thursday aimed at holding California law enforcement officers accountable for misconduct and restricting uses of force that have resulted in death and injury.

    The eight measures signed into law by Newsom include raising the minimum age for police officers from 18 to 21, and allowing their badges to be permanently taken away for excessive force, dishonesty and racial bias.

    In addition, the new laws set statewide standards on law enforcement’s use of rubber bullets and tear gas for crowd control, and further restrict the use of techniques for restraining suspects in ways that can interfere with breathing.

    Other new laws approved by Newsom expand the types of police officer personnel records subject to public disclosure to include those involving sustained charges of excessive force and improper arrests, and seek more transparency for law enforcement agencies that acquire military equipment, including a mandate to adopt a public policy.

    The governor also signed into law a requirement that police agencies adopt policies that prohibit officers from participating in law enforcement “gangs,” that critics have said use violent and intimidating tactics similar to those employed by criminal street gangs.

    He almost looks like a grown-up Billy from Stranger Things, but Billy at least redeemed himself. I don't see anything redeeming about Huffines.

    Plus Billy was a hunk as far as the ladies were concerned.

    He looks like Greg Kinnear fucked Chris Kattan and then they had babies and one of the babies was a gimpy little runt.

    Playing Charles Wright in game 4 was very curious.

    Why? Is there a scenario, save for multiple injuries, in which Wright is ever playing a meaningful snap?

    There it is.  LOL

    Are tens of thousands of people not dying because they believe false information posted online?

    He's the most consistent spreader on this website of the very lies leading to those deaths.

    But sure, lol.

    The rural parts of California have been getting overruled by the California cities for many decades now. What are the okies wearing oakleys gonna do? Ride up there in jet skies with pitchforks?

    Remember the Whitmire kidnap and murder plot? 

    Something like that. Or bombing gov buildings, or targeting figures on the left. Hopefully they'll just all move to Texas and complete the state's race to the bottom.

    But you know better than to compare today's current climate with what has been happening in the past.

    After I posted that Buzzfeed article, I left work for the day.  On the way home, I'm thinking about the article, and it occurred to me (and I'm probably far from the only person to have this thought).

    We as a society are thisclose to having someone deranged over the treatment (or death) of a loved one from Covid at a hospital, and just coming back and opening fire on whoever happens to be standing in the way.  I guess I'm so jaded that I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet, to be honest.   

     

     

    I keep waiting for this to happen in California. It's hard to overstate the anger and resentment emanating from the rural parts of the state. Now that the recall has been defeated they see the socialist takeover of the state to be a fait accompli. Just take the most vile, hate-filled GQP folks you can think of, then stick them in CA and imagine what would happen.
