Trump can’t do shit as the Lone Ranger. I don’t believe anyone would follow any command to help him retain power of he loses the election. 

The Lone Ranger? He's not the Lone Ranger. He's Tony Soprano. He's a mob boss. And he's a child. If he loses then he'll throw a tantrum. He'll call the election rigged and, based on his past, file a bunch of lawsuits. If there is a transition of power, it will definitely not be orderly. It will be less orderly than anything we've ever seen before. 

His administration wasn't interested in hearing advice from the previous administration.

Do you think they'll be interested in giving advice to the succeeding administration? Do you think they even have anyone competent enough to give it? Can you imagine him giving a concession speech and congratulating Biden on his victory?

He won't go quietly but good god just give me a transition and you can squawk all you want about how orderly it was.

This is America

 

The insults of urban living magnify the power imbalances enormously - a structural defect aggravated by neglect.

Whomever gave the order to - "Light them up" - should lose his badge. Ignoring warning signs of a bad cop put people in danger. Redirect him into a job that doesn't require sound judgment. He is probably the same person who told those cops to pretend like they were  Iraq as they walked through a neighborhood. Say a neighborly thing - like, please stay in your houses and close your windows. We have protestors headed this way and tear gas might be used. Sane and rational people respond well to such kindness. The police acted as if they were angry at the residents. That's not smart police work. 

We must change our approach to law enforcement in several areas. It would make everyone's lives better - LEO and civilian.

La Mesa, California is being burned to the ground tonight. 3-5 banks have been torched. Vons, Walmart, Target. Whole bunch of mom and pops.

 

Has to be the work of 3-5 dedicated pyros. I mean this is not a riot + looting, it’s a fucking inferno. 2AM PT and it’s still absolutely raging. Reports of retirement homes being evacuated.

 

 

 

 

Look up #lamesa on Twitter for additional pictures and videos. A lot of people are losing everything.

So after the weeks of staying at home, I decided to take a week off from the news, social media, etc. to clear my head. Went for a few runs, Took out my bike. Hit the golf course. Played a bit of poker.

Did I miss anything?

Well sir, it's because that is not going to get the clicks. 

Swallwell doesn't ask the right question.  The violence is being instigated by the police.  Which cities didn't have police show up in riot gear?  I'd place good money that those are the ones that didn't have riots.

Apropos of nothing, I'm glad terrorists (F&D) don't have their shit together at the moment.  All these large crowds and mass gatherings of cops and such would be a hell of a target for backpack bombs or a truck plowing through a crowd.

There were a couple of reports of vehicles being driven through crowds including these terrorists from NYPD.

I don't think I'll leave the place to an army of ignorant fascists who don't have the vaguest notion of what the USA once tried to be. 

I won't leave it intact for the pleasure of those in the process seizing something they themselves by their very ignorance are transforming into a proud racist, authoritarian state where shockingly stupid "citizens" love the taste of jackboot.

So, please, come to my house and rout me out of it. I'll surely flee before your tough posturing. Oh please come and break down my door to reduce me to a sniveling pile of terror.

By all means, walk your talk.

You're going to have to personally displace me, fuckwad. Pray, give it a shot.

When it's over, we'll go ahead and remove your name and avatar which you so keenly undermine.

Smart move. Local police shouldn’t initially just start kicking ass. Much better to join and protect the real protesters to help identify people that just want to start violence. I know the Austin people hate them some art avecedo but he’s doing a great job in Houston with this situation.

amazing that Houston is not on fire since Floyd is from here.

Jesus man, America love it or leave it is sooo 70's.  While some have used it as an excuse to loot, riot violently, and destruct property, the murder of a citizen because of the color of his skin, is a very American issue, and maybe you need to consider living somewhere else if you think that was OK.

Yay! The China Virus will become the Angry African American Virus! 

gettyimages-1227608562.jpg?crop=1.00xw:1

That's a fake news story we can all get behind. Floyd died of China Virus. The cop was trying to hook him up to a ventilator. Then your negroes decided to riot and spread the virus. IT'S THEIR FAULT! WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SHOOT THEM BEFORE THEY SPREAD THE DISEASE!

No. I’m a grown ass man with agency and resources. I won’t do what you tell me.  I’ll stand here and bitch about my country as much as I damn well please.  And there isn’t a fucking thing you can do to stop me.

For all of Acevedo's fuck ups he's been out in front of this as a "What happened to George Floyd was wrong" guy.  He has also marched with protesters. Houston has pretty much always avoided the big, dangerous riots of the past 50-60 years and I think it's because the normal  citizens have always pretty much gotten along. 

 

That DOES NOT mean there are  not problems with HPD.  There are.  It also doesnt mean there isn't any racism here.  There is.  But for whatever reason, our melting pot has worked a little better than others.

Some dumbass MAGAT on Orangebloods is trying to convince me that the rioters are all paid crisis actors. I predicted that would be a thing as soon as the unrest began. The right is chock full of morons. 

Orangebloods is infiltrated with Breitbart lunatics. Never seen a bigger collection of aggrieved white guys in my life. Every single day they it's a new boogey man they're littering the sports forum about (sOrOs, cALifoRnia, sOcialISt, aDlEr) and of course they have a mod (Alex) that gives them cover. @Hornius Emeritus I saw you're leaving the site, I'm doing the same. Emailed Ketch and told him I'm done.

They won’t do anything. It’s not like political violence is a one sided thing in America. 

Lineup the lynchings and church burnings and KKKers on one side, and the leftist radicals and people who shoot up the GOP congressional baseball team on the other and it all fucking sucks, while also adding up to a very very very very tiny group of people that think that’s justified while a really really really big portion of the country, your friends and neighbors and even fucking meth addled sooners, are horrified. 

Like I said- I’m firmly on the record here with a chance to be spectacularly wrong, but I’m not afraid I will be.

Glad to make that bet....but what about when he wins? Because it seems you think the GOP is going to allow a fair election.

We have no functioning government. Our country is enraged and on fire. And the other half of the country “backs the blue!”, and can’t wait till they start cracking skulls!And this was all predictable - fuck, we predicted shit like this.

It. Only. Gets. Worse. That’s the only rule. Why the fuck are you continuing to argue that this isn’t a shitty country? Turn on 90 seconds of any media right now. We are a failed state. These scenes are something out of a “shithole” country finally exploding under a repressive regime.

And it will get worse. I keep posting that...and it keeps being true.

Right now, we're seeing what it looks like when maybe 17% of the population feels disenfranchised and persecuted (they are).

What does it look like when 35% of the population feels that way (who aren't)?

The fact that WuLaw has to refer to the psycho who shot up the GOP baseball game (a default for both siders) as a comparable example of left-right terrorism shows the dearth of examples. 

Charlottesville and the torch parade somehow doesn't earn mention. The Trump rallies are another indicator of different groups of large numbers of people that form the tinderbox of Trumpist violence. Trump's rhetoric will encourage them with lies.

I believe we're seeing a just demonstration against injustice at the moment. An injust and violent demonstration against a just election will, potentially, surpass the current one in violence and hate. Hell, they show up to peaceful demonstrations armed for combat.

I wish I could be as sanguine as Wulaw. I'm not.

Another note, family matters have brought me to Peterborough, NH. In this beautiful largely white little town, at least a hundred locals lined the main highway to support the Black Lives Matter demonstration. It was a heartening thing to see after Floyd's murder and the arrest of the CNN reporter.

Terrorists don't have to attack us with bombs/planes anymore. In fact that would probably be the worst thing they could do, because it would unite the country against a common enemy. No, Putin has given the world the playbook how to attack us. There is a large racial wound in this country that has never healed and a far-right political party that exploits it any chance they get. Putin has been picking at that wound since 2014/2015 with some of the fake "culture war" related demonstrations his troll farms organized on Facebook. Anybody trying to weaken us as a nation just need to invest resources there.

That guy really didn’t think any of that through. A bow and arrow that you suck at loading is not something you want to defend yourself with.

Yea. I was wondering what he envisioned before he left the house. His ability with the bow suggested that maybe he just bought it a few minutes before.

Did he imagine himself as heroically defeating the heathen horde? Was he Green Arrow in muscle-bulging lycra loosing his shafts of justice to save the dear old USA? He surely seems to have that crazy American notion that you're the only brave person among cowards. It's so strange.

When the mob he sought to rout closed above him, what did he think then? I'm truly curious to see what the full ride was for this doomed, malign idiot.
