CNN had shown the video footage of the very 'tanned' individual walking into the Wendy's with a molotov cocktail, while other protesters attempted to block the filming of it. IIRC, that was when the CNN crew was attacked, because they continued trying to record it while 'protesters' tried to use their hands and skateboards to block the camera.

head down / eyes up.  good luck.

The Japanese are racist as fuk and don't like anyone -- Korean - Chinese --    ...They don't teach American kids in school what the Japanese did to the Chinese 'round WWII....because they would have such bad nightmares they would never sleep again.

No one on this site is that blind.   But I disagree.  The slow boiling pot of the last decade =/= what's happening now.  Hell, BLM has been around 7-years now -- and before Floyd died, no one here was looking at BLM as the ignition point.

Ready on the right, ready on the left ...

There's a reason why 'Public Education' is one of the planks of the Communist Manifesto. America has been allowing the Marxist indoctrination of their children for a couple generations...but now they seem surprised when it rears it's ugly head.

Consider the age heterogeneity in all the people who have attended public schools since the inception of the Federal Department of Education...and it encompasses these quisling politicians all the way to these shitstains that are doing the rioting.

The planning and forethought behind it all is amazing.

They knew to start casting Trump as dictatorial, because they knew his first instinct would be to crush the uprising.  So when Trump acts to quell the uprising in order to preserve the orderly functioning of our society, they could run with it.

"See?  We told you he was going to become a charismatic strongman.  It's what he wanted all along."

Honestly, if Trump walked out into the Rose Garden tomorrow in a pair of mirrored aviators, a military officer's uniform, and carrying a riding crop, and announced his plan to bring his political enemies to heel, my initial reaction would probably be "Wooooohooo! Bout fuckin' time!"

No one had realized that BLM was a Marxist front, or maybe they weren't until they got co-opted by the Marxists.

also HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. PRESIDENT

We were specifically talking about how quickly things have ramped up since January, not the obvious general decline of Western Civilization.

Wheres your post from January about how we were going to have race riots and leftist autonomous zones this summer? I mean, after all, you clearly have the vision to have seen this all coming.  Youre not a sheep with blinders on, right?

Good grief, that comment really brought out all the doomer prognosticators.

Exactly.

There has been a serious and fast escalation.

To use one of our far seeing wizards analogy, the weather has been calling for a TS or Cat 1 landfall for weeks, and now 8 hours before landfall it has become a Cat 4 threatening to strengthen to a Cat 5.

I doubt it. He felt himself ascending, he felt himself descending, then I don't think he felt anything after.

It’s likely a combination of genetics, childhood development (health; stress, nutrition, etc., lack of fathers & education), and culture.

On stress – it’s a huge detriment to childhood development & takes a lifetime of hard work, self reflection & behavioral therapy to correct. I’ve seen families that suffer from this. Constant screaming over nonsense, no communication or conflict resolution skills, resistance to authority, all which make interactions with police a total failure from the start.

One family would have the cops show up a half dozen or more times a year. After the daughter’s first two arrests in the back of a cruiser screaming & kicking, they would wait for the EMTs & strapped her to a gurney to be held on a psych evaluation. The officers had immense patience & the amount of resources a disfunction family requires is disproportionate to their tax contributions.

It’s obvious genetics isn’t completely to blame like some people think, because quite a few American blacks don’t have these issues, same with many African immigrants.It could play some role in how the early childhood development amplifies these issues later in life, but it may also just be culture & childhood development.

To add to this, these issues are becoming more prevalent in white households, I believe due to the same reasons – dysfunctional families where it’s only one parent or the father has been hen pecked by his wife, she loses respect for him & it leads to a traumatizing environment for the child. Then they are in effect raised by the public school system & mass media.

It appears that Hispanic & Asian cultures are less susceptible to this decay that blacks & whites due to strong religious & cultural focus on tradition & the family, but unless things change direction they will suffer the same fate.

These issues were on there way to being greatly improved before LBJ & mass media set upon the task of destroying the family, glorifying/enabling violence & single mothers/absent fathers.

Toss in the loads of 5-10+ year convictions for drug offenses & 2-3 generations of kids were raised without fathers, ironically having gangsters as the only prevalent strong male roll models in their neighborhoods, ensuring the cycle repeats itself.

The only hope is for the current kids to be raised with two parents in a stable home that start teaching them at a young age. The damage is so severe, even without any outside influences from the media/online or their peers it will take another 2-3 generations to correct.

But there’s too many convenient distractions & other people to blame while trying to swim against the current, for many it may not be possible.



TL;DR:

Largely problems with culture & childhood development allowed to decay further with bad laws (war on drugs & divorce/family court), government programs (welfare, section 8 & EBT) & reinforced by mass media.

These are multigenerational issues that will take a LONG time to correct.

No race is immune to this family destruction & generational dysfunction, whites are now where blacks were 30-40 years ago, Asians & Hispanics are next without changing the media propaganda.

George Floyd - New Video Shows Cop Clearly Ignoring Cries to Stop


Video

The attorney for George Floyd's family just released a video of the murder, and this clearly shows bystanders begging former-officer Tou Thao to take some action and save the man who was dying before his eyes.

Attorney Ben Crump makes it clear ... "Warning: This is beyond disturbing, even harder to watch than the first video."

The new video is a wider angle, and you see more of Thao, who stands impervious to what is going on right in front of his face. Bystanders are imploring him to do something ... to just look at George Floyd lying on the pavement unconscious and realize he's about to die. But, Thao does nothing.

CHAZ has got to be the biggest fail in history.

I personally have been fairly certain that things were gonna go sideways this summer and carry into November.

This is not a unique or special opinion; lots of folks on this site have (correctly) said right before the POTUS election it’s gonna get FROGGY. For years now.

Castigating someone for not prophesizing it was gonna be BLM specifically that kicked it off is pointless.

Putting it another way: if I was the Deep State Left, I would have multiple plans locked and loaded that are able to be called up and ran. Then all it takes is that one event that you can use to kick off that plan.

So somewhere there’s a Summer 2020 mass shooting plan, a black guy killed by white cop plan, a second Chinese pandemic plan, etc. Or at least plans that can be matched up to multiple types of public events/tragedies.

There is also small comfort in being correct in forecasting a summer of violence, if you happen to be a productive and contributing member of society with a family at stake.

Until they go to college & get brainwashed.

This is one issue a failed to address in my previous post. Sending your kid to (most) college(s) is like paying for them to attend a four year communist re-education camp with better food & accommodations.

Even the most well raised child has a very poor chance of making it through with fully intact mental faculties.

I don't disagree, but my comment was more directed at how quickly the marxists were able to mobilize to violently push their agenda after the death of Floyd due to preparations made prior to, and not as a consequence of.

It speaks to the commitment, organizational skills and funding from established deep pockets with a metric shit-ton of influence that are involved.

Obviously, this goes much, much deeper than a bunch of college-aged malcontents demonstrating on the streets.

Im not saying you SHOULD have seen BLM,  or a pandemic, or a impeachment, or any of 100 other things as the flash point. Im saying you SHOULD be able to see whats behind it, the agenda and their willingness / ability to use ANY disaster / event as a crowbar to try and pry society apart.  Next it might be pandemic 2.0, or impeachment, or racism, or lgbtq, or immigration, or amnesty, or gun control, or food riots, or rent control, or registering for the draft, etc.

But the next thing IS coming, and IMHO within a month of this dying down. So, get prepared for it.

If they would have kept him in prison for those times he would be still alive.  Then again if he didn't resist or put himself in that position to begin with.

Gotta link? I tried to blow that up enough to read it but the image didn't hold enough detail to read it.

Isn't that part of the original 10+ minute video? I definitely remember seeing that in the original long video on Twitter.

A black slave in Libya today costs as little $200 dollars.

Slave trading was punishable by death  under Colonel Gadaffi - until the Libyan government was destroyed by a coalition led by Hillary Clinton/Obama. And now they’re tweeting about #BLM pic.twitter.com/LEda2krkKG

EXCLUSIVE: Black Lives Matter Website, ‘Defund The Police’ Donations Go to ‘Act Blue’, The ‘Biden For President’ Campaign’s Top Source of Donations https://t.co/k0seI40Ras

BLM is a DNC front.  If you donate money to BLM it actually goes to ActBlue which is a DNC fundraising org.  There is no difference between the DNC and Marxists, however, as the Veritas project has revealed.  We pretend the Democrats are in favor of a left leaning Federal Republic but the truth is the core shot callers are full blown Marxists.

I have a "theory", though I am reticent to cast aspersions on anyone in uniform without facts - but - here goes -


They worked together

The dropped bag of coke when GF was first put up against the wall....

"What if" Officer Knee-neck and GF were dealing out of the clubs -- GF would flip under interrogation and give up the network.  Knee-neck wasn't about to let that happen.

lol @ "get prepared"...   Who here isn't prepared?  



ETA: OK __fine ---  I'll claim I knew    -- - I started this thread back in January because I knew shit was going to get real -- https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/I-need-a-new-ballistic-helmet/5-2292573/ now @ 16 pages --

That thread enabled a lot of members here to get their helmet on -- because "we all knew something was up".  In the OP I said something like 'I don't train in armor - but want to upgrade just in case...'

I didnt mean you should have expected a particular disaster / event...im saying you SHOULD have expected  them to use any disaster / event to push their agendas, you dont need to predict a certain event, as They will take advantage of any event, you can set your watch to it now. There are 20 different agendas all eager to jump into any protest to use it. Antifa, immigration, abortion, blm, amnesty, rasism, communism, socialism, income inequality, lgbtq, etc. Not to mention coordinated media agendas,and high level political supoorters.

Its going to KEEP picking up speed, its GOING to get worse, guaranteed, so stop acting surprised. The next dem controlled gov ( pres, congress, senate) WILL go full retard on their agenda.  Probably amnesty, gun control, universal healthcare 2.0 and more. While allowing antifa, lefties, and blm to run rampant with DOJ protection while heavily targeting conservatives / right wingers etc.

There are people here who won't get that. But having operated the targets at matches
 I have called it out many times!

It did when he woke up.

Meh, at this point I stopped looking. At least for that. I am still looking for supplies and locations and regional trends and long term projections. Every few years when I reach a new plateau in readiness I think I'm going to ease up. Then something kicks off that makes me go, "Ya know, you're really not as prepared as you could be."
It's not all beans and bullets, but the training that goes with those bullets requires a constant resupply and if I want to increase that training level I need to increase the supply levels. So even if I sometimes look at it and go, "wtf am I doing?" I cycle back to "huh, that's only XXX trips to the range just for ME, much less a few classes or training anyone else." I gave a buddy 200 rounds of 9mm for his birthday because he had been wanting to buy ammo and couldn't find any in stock locally that wasn't a total rip off. I remember taking it out of the can and thinking, "this is why I stock it"

lol, people in the PNW talking about shitty climates. West side weather in WA/OR is overcast and drizzle for 9 months of the year. If you like rain every day in June, it's great. Not my idea of a good time. Unless I'm working in the yard, I can wear shorts and t-shirts year round here. Also, TX is a big place...there's quite a few different climates to choose from. Houston-style humidity not up your alley? NP, we have dry places too!

A lack of public lands does kind of suck. On the other hand for the same amount of $ I spent on OR income taxes, I bought my own land!

Im not surprised, AT ALL. They have been telling us openly for years what their plans were, they are just kicking shut off as they promised  to do. politicians have been pandering to them for years, and supporting their agendas, and while it enrages me to see those same politicians order police to stand down, it does not surprise me, what else did you expect from them? i wont be surprised when it gets worse, neither will i be surprised when the dems go full retard when they get back into control.

Unfortunately I think this is going to be both Freedom vs Communism and White(and to an extant Hispanic and Asian) vs Black as well.
