    The big money, filthy money Left, which is far being totally Jewish, would have sent in thousands of violent white Leftists who come from all over, Most of those sent would already have experience in such urban warfare in which they know they can get away with almost anything, because we all agree that RACISM and Confederate statues are the enemy.

    Jake, I appreciated what you had to say here. Anymore, with the "state of things" as they've long been, but especially now, having escalated to unprecedented levels, at least it appears this way to me and I am 49. People who should know better have even been falling into certain traps and it's been aggravating the hell out of me. Now, more than ever (lol, I sound like one of their commercials) I feel like it is imperative we keep it as simple as possible as to what is and isn't going on....truth versus BULLSHIT.

    This seems to be a replay of something that was happening in Paris during the
    Gilets Jaunes protests. There were reports that the violence was being instigated by agents provocateurs affiliated with the police, aided and abetted by Antifa black blocs and urban yoots from the islamicised banlieus. But unlike Paris, the authorities in Minneapolis have not started blowing out the eyes and blowing off the hands of protesters; probably this is because there are no alienated and marginalized working-class whites on the scene at this point.

    This is a net positive for Republicans.

    More of this forces Biden to pick a black VP, which won't help much in a national election. It will likely be, in order of likelihood, (1) Kamala, (2) Val Demings or (3) Michelle Obama as a wild card.

    In normal times, Val Demings could be the law & order sensible black. But she is a total unknown and running a black cop right now will hurt turnout among blacks.

    Biden with a sensible nice white lady VP would be hard to beat, considering Trump's performance in the past few months. But with the emerging Karen meme, a white lady VP will kill black turnout as well. They don't want to be lectured by a white lady for 4 years.

    As far as I'm concerned, let more of these Blue cities go up in flames. It only helps.

  10. iSteve commenters tend to misunderstand the impact of things like this, especially in its racial terms because that’s where we all tend to believe that we’re all race experts, that we’re the ones who see the negative social impact of the vibrants when everybody else is out trying sell some feelgood bullshit. We know everything already there’s no point in listening to everybody else.

    Blacks behaving badly does tend to motivate voters to vote Republican. But that’s one, among all the things that a voter might consider. And right now, undocumented shopping by vibrants in Minneapolis doesn’t stack up very high compared against a pandemic that threatens everybody’s health and everybody’s livelihood.

    When push comes to shove, Trump and the Trump campaign might be very effective in convincing American that Joe is sleepy and stupid. But it’s not going to help, the voters will vote for him anyway. (If in fact the Presidential race comes down to Trump vs. Biden, and there’s some chance that it won’t imo).

    Cops have been caught and reported on doing agent provocateur stuff against people so that individuals can be arrested, especially at protests, (hell, that represents the entirety of the FBI's playbook) but not property and not their own police station. Positively identifying a guy that masked up is nonsense. This exists but the BAMN types want to massively over-rely on it as an explanation of all rioting when we have seen too many videos (and unforced admissions from their own mouths) that most rioters really are just criminals having fun.

    And what good did that do? The only thing I can think of is that now it's only the insane who mock the idea of "the deep state."

  17. I was reading through Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook by Mark Bray this afternoon.

    The basic thesis is that whites believe that they are superior and because of that they are trying to take over the world. They call this “Fascism” and Jews+POC have a responsibility to tame us and prevent us from creating a world run by Aryans. The anti-fascists are also communists and want a world communist system presumably run by Jews and their POC allies.

    What I find remarkable is that Jews will write books about how whites are taking over the world and that we basically need to be killed to prevent that from happening – and whites will accept it.

    No whites have written one book that says that white supremacy is a conspiracy theory.

    But, if you do the opposite and write books about how Jews are trying to take over the world and “the world conquers” by Louis Marschalko is a good example – those become banned “racist” books.

    Jews have written thousands of books denying that they are taking over the world. Whites have written almost no books denying that they are trying to take over the world – which is a lie that Jews repeat endlessly.

    Fundamentally, we are in an ideological war and we should have delegitimized antifascist groups (as basically anti-white hate groups_, churned out propaganda against Jewish supremacy and against their creation of a POC golem in their attempt to set up a communist slave state.

    Anti-fascism is just opposition to the Jewish NWO agenda. Why has nobody written a book that is designed not just to explain but UNITE all non-jews against the Jewish NWO agenda?

    There was no mob to appease with BLM? Are you crazy? There were protests across America with riots and looting everytime a black was killed. Obama sanctioned it and people were out for blood. By sniper fire I'm assuming you mean people killing cops, sure, but who knows how this will pan out yet? Protestors trying to break into cash registers and assaulting elderly women in wheelchairs, put that on the front page and Trump is fine.

    No, the lesson is that Leftists favor aggressors. Where the government is not out-of-control Leftists, it simply stops the riot with force. Blacks have nothing going for them in Minnesota or any riot other than support from the media and (sometimes) government. This is a riot by the mayor.

And right now, undocumented shopping by vibrants in Minneapolis doesn't stack up very high compared against a pandemic that threatens everybody's health and everybody's livelihood.

    When push comes to shove, Trump and the Trump campaign might be very effective in convincing American that Joe is sleepy and stupid.

That anecdote represents a kind of institutional injustice, although not having anything to do with race.

    Anyone with half a brain should see that it's a major issue that a policeman can kneel on someone's neck for 10 minutes while the person begs for their life and ends up killing him.

    Police asked “El” that she am to leave the scene of a reported shooting for her safety. I don’t need to tell you how she replied. One of the officers apparently punched her in the head (you know, like that Minneapolis old lady who was knocked out of a wheelchair and robbed was punched in the head).

    I don’t know why this situation would surprise anybody. I predicted it on Day One of the lockdowns - that if they continue until warm weather riots would ensue. That it’s an election year only guaranteed my prophecy would come to pass.

    In re the Ann Arbor mini-riot (https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2020/05/outraged-residents-block-streets-in-protest-over-washtenaw-deputy-accused-of-punching-black-woman.html) - cops had nearly closed US23 at I94 (riot adjacent to US23 and I94 next exit South).

    Wait until the kids in Detriot get going..

    Where this gets interesting is the fact that now we have an extra 41 million plus unemployed and many more in financial hardship with no good prospects for improvement. Whites haven’t been answering riots since Detriot in the 40’s because they’ve thought the government would quell the problems and because they’ve had too much to lose. Today both those mitigating factors have been removed.

    Ridiculous. Antifa runs on the righteous anger, inculcated by the left in the universities and in the media (such as the Times with their damning 1619 antithesis to America's 1776 identity), that latent fascism is ever-present in America. (One has to admit, in broad consideration of human nature across all societies, there is a measure of truth to the notion - charged in America by the history of slavery.) Their vigilante purpose depends on this belief. They look earnestly for confirmation and opportunity, and wherever fascism in America bursts to the surface they rush to the scene to attack.

    These "antifascists" manage with their fire-in-the-mind ransacking to undermine the cause they purport to serve: there's nothing like the shocking imagery of buildings on fire to persuade the public to the need for Order.

    !) Are there any reliable estimates of the ratio of white-to-black rioters in Minneapolis?

    2) Does anyone know offhand what percentage of people in Minnesota are black? I am wondering if there is some sort of known "tipping point" where, if more than X% of the population is black, you can more or less expect something like this to happen.

    I noticed the same thing watching the live feeds last night. The white trustafarians (antifa? bored zoomers? agent provocateurs sponsored by bad actors? some mix thereof?) were also the rioters using more organized tactics like pointing blinding lasers at helicopters and police, cutting gas lines, etc. They wore masks. And they were setting off firecrackers near the burning police station. Black rioters were mostly unmasked, appeared to mainly be looting, and there were more of them out during the daytime relative to night, though a few hippie/woke looking blacks were sprinkled into the trustafarian burning police precinct crowd.

    And then there is the question of the gas-mask umbrella-toting white man, alleged to be a St. Paul cop by social media, who broke the windows of the first store to be looted, the Autozone. He also spray-painted something like "free shit zone" on the walls. One of the protestors asked what he was doing and he got angry. What was this guy's motive?

    All odd. And now turns out Chauvin and Floyd worked together as bouncers for a Mexican bar? And the police can arrest a CNN reporter on live tv but can't do anything else to hem in the chaos?

    Something about this is starting to feel rather theatrical. Some bad actors (I really don't know who, I suspect antifa, but I wouldn't rule out foreign intelligence, either) are taking advantage of the anger/protests over a legitimate police brutality incident, and are allowing it to escalate (and even encouraging escalation) for political reasons.

    George Floyd’s history.

    “ Floyd pleaded guilty to the robbery where another suspect posed as a worker for the local water department, wearing a blue uniform in an attempt to gain access to the woman’s home, according to the charging document.

    But when the woman opened the door, she realized he was not with the water department and attempted to close the door, leading to a struggle.

    At that time, a Ford Explorer pulled up to the home and five other males exited the car and went up to the front door.

    The report states the largest of the group, who the victim later identified as Floyd, ‘forced his way inside the residence, placed a pistol against the complainant’s abdomen, and forced her into the living room area of the residence.

    ‘This large suspect then proceeded to search the residence while another armed suspect guarded the complainant, who was struck in the head and sides by this second armed suspect with his pistol while she screamed for help.’

    Not finding any drugs or money at the house, the men took jewelry and the woman’s cell phone and fled in their car. A neighbor who witnessed the robbery took down the car’s license plate number.

    Later, police tracked down the car and found Floyd behind the wheel. He was later identified by the woman as the large suspect who placed a gun against her stomach and forced her into her living room, the document states.”

    Like, why would a cop deliberately kill a man in front of somebody holding a camera? And why would he take 8 minutes to do it? This cop was obviously on some kind of power trip, but based on his personal arrest experience, he probably thought the 250 lbs bar bouncer was faking it. In his position, many officers might have thought the same thing, which explains why his three backup officers did nothing. Obviously the perp had an underlying health condition. And you forgot to ask Anonymous why he thought any riots were justified, given that they destroy your own community. But why should this fuck up be singled out for blowing up America? Here's an equally enraging incident that happened not too long ago in Sonoma Cty, CA. Cops forgot to take a recovered vehicle off the hot sheet and violently arrested the owner, who had asthma. They suffocated him in a choke hold. But since everyone was white in this incident, it all fucking went down the memory hole. The killer cop got fired but not prosecuted. By the way, the reason we have paramilitary cops in the first place are the obscene levels of violent criminality in black communities.

    Deliberate implies that this cop intended that his actions kill the Negro upon whose neck he was kneeling. I very much doubt this and it would be impossible to prove in a criminal trial. However, one could argue that this cop's actions were reckless to the point of clearly endangering the Negro's life. This seems obvious to me and I'm sure it would be to most juries. The bottom line is that this one cop deserves to be fired from the police force, he deserves to do prison time for some form of homicide (not murder), and he'll probably face civil liabilities that will make the rest of his life an endless misery.

    In other words, he'll force punishment commensurate with that received by this other Minneapolis cop https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/04/30/minnesota-police-officer-convicted-murder-fatal-shooting-australian-woman-who-called/ but for a less egregious violation of police procedures and a homicide far less close to an open execution.

On the contrary we have 15-20 million uneducated, but largely passive, illegal immigrants and about 20 million lower-class blacks who are unpedictable at times, but in the long run, bribable.

    In 2008, Obama was touted as a political outsider who will hose away all of the rot and bloody criminality of the Bush years. He turned out to be a deft move by our ruling class. Though fools still refuse to see it, Obama is a perfect servant of our military banking complex. Now, Trump is being trumpeted as another political outsider.

    A Trump presidency will temporarily appease restless, lower class whites, while serving as a magnet for liberal anger. This will buy our ruling class time as they continue to wage war abroad while impoverishing Americans back home. Like Obama, Trump won’t fulfill any of his election promises, and this, too, will be blamed on bipartisan politics.

    George Floyd’s history.

    “ Floyd pleaded guilty to the robbery where another suspect posed as a worker for the local water department, wearing a blue uniform in an attempt to gain access to the woman’s home, according to the charging document.

    But when the woman opened the door, she realized he was not with the water department and attempted to close the door, leading to a struggle.

    At that time, a Ford Explorer pulled up to the home and five other males exited the car and went up to the front door.

    The report states the largest of the group, who the victim later identified as Floyd, ‘forced his way inside the residence, placed a pistol against the complainant’s abdomen, and forced her into the living room area of the residence.

    ‘This large suspect then proceeded to search the residence while another armed suspect guarded the complainant, who was struck in the head and sides by this second armed suspect with his pistol while she screamed for help.’

    Not finding any drugs or money at the house, the men took jewelry and the woman’s cell phone and fled in their car. A neighbor who witnessed the robbery took down the car’s license plate number.

    Later, police tracked down the car and found Floyd behind the wheel. He was later identified by the woman as the large suspect who placed a gun against her stomach and forced her into her living room, the document states.”

    Speaking of another movie, 1972’s Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, I’ve always thought folks should quietly ask if this is how self declared ‘progressives’ do indeed see Blacks, as brute beasts, ie ‘apes’?

    And, then quietly point out that if the progressive’s New England political and spiritual forebears (powerful elements and hangers on of the Anglo-Saxon and Jewish peoples) ran the North American slave trade as dealers, wouldn’t it make sense that such a depraved mentality and outlook would think along those lines?

    It’s the people that are opposed to where all this is headed, a totalitarian Orwellian police state, that can afford to be civil, and should be. It’s the so called progressives who can’t, as witnessed by their propensity for extreme violence towards those who are in disagreement with them

    ‘So Conquest of the Planet of the Apes re-interprets the Watts Riots and other race violence of the 1960s as one possible and even legitimate response to entrenched racial inequality in America. Caesar tells Mr. McDonald that the only means left to him and his people (the apes) is, indeed, revolution. “We cannot be free until we have power. How else can we achieve it?”’

    Abandoning police stations to rioters seems like a terrible decision. Probably came from the Mayor, who is openly on the side of the rioters. The retreating police may or may not be able to clear out the armories during the evacuation to keep it from falling into the hands of the rioters, but there's also evidence rooms (every case depending on that evidence is now compromised), police files, communications equipment, and various other things that would be suboptimal to have fall into rioter/antifa hands. Even if the rioters are too dumb to use most of it, it is still a loss to law enforcement. This is aside from the horrible symbolism of Law Enforcement Officers losing their strongpoint to a raggedy mob. Morale boost to rioters; morale depressant to law enforcement.

    Not deliberate? How was it not deliberate?

    Like, why would a cop deliberately kill a man in front of somebody holding a camera? And why would he take 8 minutes to do it? This cop was obviously on some kind of power trip, but based on his personal arrest experience, he probably thought the 250 lbs bar bouncer was faking it. In his position, many officers might have thought the same thing, which explains why his three backup officers did nothing. Obviously the perp had an underlying health condition. And you forgot to ask Anonymous why he thought any riots were justified, given that they destroy your own community. But why should this fuck up be singled out for blowing up America? Here’s an equally enraging incident that happened not too long ago in Sonoma Cty, CA. Cops forgot to take a recovered vehicle off the hot sheet and violently arrested the owner, who had asthma. They suffocated him in a choke hold. But since everyone was white in this incident, it all fucking went down the memory hole. The killer cop got fired but not prosecuted. By the way, the reason we have paramilitary cops in the first place are the obscene levels of violent criminality in black communities.

    I agree, It seems unlikely the cop killed Floyd on purpose. But he clearly was at fault, although the man may have had a health condition. Maybe the autopsy will reveal evidence which exonerates him.

    It has already come out that he didn't die of asphyxiation.

    He most likely had a heart attack.

    My guess is that the cop was feeling less than empathetic and felt he wasn't putting enough pressure on his neck to kill him. Even if it was a heart attack he should still get manslaughter. There was no reason to put a knee on his neck.

    The bigger problem I see is with white knight cops that think they can fix these areas. Then they get frustrated with the system and take it out on the perps.

    A lot of these cities are doomed because they are ran by dopey White egalitarians. They would rather burn everything to the ground than admit the unthinkable which is that even internet racial realists are closer to the truth than libs with Phds.

    So a lot of these cops should really just quit and drive trucks. It pays more and there is high demand everywhere. Or at least stop pretending that they can go in like some 90's cop movie and "clean the streets" or something.

    According to the WSJ, Twitter blocked Trump's tweets condemning the violence as "glorifying violence."


    Trump condemned violent protesters in Minneapolis in a pair of tweets sent overnight, and said he could deploy the National Guard to “bring the City under control.”

    “These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen,” he wrote. “Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”

    Twitter Inc. placed a notice on the tweet and shielded it from view for breaking what the company said are its rules about glorifying violence.

    Totally agree. Hopefully, this creates the conversation that needs to be had. I want nothing more than to live in a country with my own people and be ruled by those like myself, people who will establish laws and customs that comport with my tribe's sentiment. For the life of me I can't understand why this doesn't get more traction on the right. Is this not the obvious solution? We clearly aren't voting our way out of this because we don't have the votes anymore; half of our people are brainwashed to hate us and themselves; demographically, the situation worsens as our people die and mass immigration continues unabated (don't kid yourself, they'll never stop it). And we clearly aren't ever going to attract substantially more non-white votes, even with a progressive economic platform; see Bernie Sanders vs. Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden among black voters in South Carolina if you disagree. To say otherwise is to promote a pipe dream.

    Racial disparities are intractable and can only be ameliorated by taking ever more wealth and opportunities from whites. In order to sate the mob, we've discriminated against our own kind: we've promoted sundry conspiracy theories like "institutional bias" and "stereotype threat" to gloss over minority failures; we suffer endless two minutes of hate every election cycle now*; we pay blacks hundreds of billions of dollars in welfare and affirmative action per year; we've discriminated against our own kind in college admissions to admit lower-scoring blacks; we let them have television networks, movies, magazines, colleges, and graduation ceremonies all to their own while we can't even avoid having our pre-established, historical characters stolen and race swapped (black King Arthur / black Achilles) .... the list is endless.

    The results have been disastrous: a skyrocketing suicide rate, hopelessness and despair, the rise of fringe cults like Qanon. How long can this go on as this country diversifies by the day? Have you guys not studied what happened to the whites of Zimbabwe and South Africa? ... or Haiti? Hated racial minorities / market majorities have poor track records over the long term. That's the destiny your children face.

    I think many boomer conservatives have been brainwashed by decades of programing into a dogma of DR3 that won't allow them to process contrary facts. A lot of Millennials, on the other hand, have been indoctrinated by edgy YouTubers and paid gatekeepers like Ben Shapiro to waste their time barking at safe issues such as "muh communism" (a long dead philosophy even the Chinese have abandoned -- thus their national anthem law and nationalism 101 university courses). Result: nothing gets done.

    We may also have to face the possibility that there is no solution within the current system. Maybe whites just aren't smart, selfless, or cohesive enough to fight back. In that case, whites (especially men) should be seeking opportunities to abandon ship before it goes down. Maybe we could go back to Europe or seek employment in Asia or move to a third country that, while liberal, isn't a complete dystopian nightmare -- Australia, New Zealand, Canada?

    This is an issue that more on the right should be talking about instead of avoiding or dismissing with hollow arguments. Coulter, Brimelow, Sailer, Buchanan and others should give this topic serious examination. Everyone needs a backup plan. What's yours? Are they really going to sit around and do nothing until the day (coming soon) when there is a knock on the door and a loud command to come out with their hands up in the air? Or maybe they would rather just complain on the internet because they are older and would like to die in peace.

    A fitting end. Rome gave up that way, too.

    Weren't most of the Revolutionary War figures older people? Both George Washington and Benjamin Franklin died before the year 1800. It's sort of strange how this turned out. The country was founded by old guys and now that same demographic is content to let it burn because it's to much of a hassle to do anything about it.

    *Central Park Karen was accosted by a black man for not having her dog on a leash but remember Barbecue Becky when she accosted blacks for some park ordinance she was actually right about? What's the difference? Difference: we are discriminated against and attacked regardless of what we do.

    Much more corrosive to America are the actions of the elites. And with weak leadership in Minneapolis (the Republicans need to continuously show the police abandoning the station to the mob), idiotic companies like twitter finally abandoning any pretence of fairness, and BLM and Antifa poised for a national reawakening, things are starting to look much better from my vantage point. I fervently hope BLM and Antifa vigorously exercise their First Amendment rights throughout the rest of this year. And convince the trans community to do the same.

    Abandoning police stations to rioters seems like a terrible decision. Probably came from the Mayor, who is openly on the side of the rioters. The retreating police may or may not be able to clear out the armories during the evacuation to keep it from falling into the hands of the rioters, but there’s also evidence rooms (every case depending on that evidence is now compromised), police files, communications equipment, and various other things that would be suboptimal to have fall into rioter/antifa hands. Even if the rioters are too dumb to use most of it, it is still a loss to law enforcement.

    Abandoning police stations to rioters seems like a terrible decision.

     

    Exactly.

    Last year the HK protests, which initially were mostly peaceful and had widespread support, turned into riots in one fateful night, i.e. July 1st, when organized, antifa-style thugs broke into the HK Legislative Council building, and trashed the very chamber in which Legco deliberates.

    Hundreds of rioters were wandering around inside the building for hours, smashing the hell out of everything, right on live TV. The cops could have sealed off the doors and hauled in the whole lot, but they were called off.

    It was the equivalent of the Capitol Building in Washington DC being overrun and vandalized, and then there being no consequences whatever for nearly all of those involved.

    This pusillanimous signal opened the door to eight months of relentless rioting and destruction, which was cooled off only by the outbreak of COVID-19.

    The moral of the story: sometimes rioting doesn't just 'burn out' on its own. The MSP police are sending a terrible signal tonight; let's hope the bill to be paid for it isn't too steep.

    I've been in a few police stations in my day, small-town types in suburban DC. Evidence rooms and armories in those stations are akin to hardened Federal SCIFs. Entry and exit is controlled, no one in or out without credentials. Evidence rooms aren't going to be compromised, at least no one has mentioned that tidbit and besides, police stations feed their evidence out to central evidence holding facilities that are convenient to courts and prosecutors and the chain is verified every step of the way. As for weapons, there were no marauders holding up the looted spoils of the arms stores from the 3rd precinct on this one. Something tells me at the first resistance to entry anywhere in the building, they would have moved on because once inside, they'd have to assume there would be folks along to chase them out or arrest them. There is going to be some very good photo evidence of the entrants to that building, too. They can make some very serious prosecutions in this if they choose to.

    If they do not, then we'll know THAT particular part of civilization is lost. If you as political leaders of a city abandon the very center of law and order to the mobs, one has to ask what the personal property and lives of the civilians who run stores and shops could possibly mean to the 'leadership' of the city? Zero. Another city, abandoned. The folks who lost their stores aren't rebuilding. They'll just build another suburb.

    I see this so often, Americans blame “the Brits” for slavery, for killing the Native Americans, for just about every unsavoury aspect of their history. It’s a mystery to me why British people think the Americans are their allies.
     

    Weird comment. I've lived in America 60+ and basically never heard this in the context you imply. People will point out that the slave trade was long ongoing European colonial thing not specifically an American thing. (I'd point out it has been a human universal since the neolithic. People with power use slavery or serfdom or taxation to live large on other people's labor.) But Americans understand that their ancestors were precisely some the European people involved. Nothing anti-Brit about it. And no one blames the Brits for killing native Americans. Any of that before 1776 was precisely the Brits--and others--who became Americans.

    Almost's "limecucks" comment was precisely on the other side of the ledger. That the Brits have lost their self-confidence, their pride, their will and are letting themselves get steamrolled by this sort of "slavery!" "colonialism!" b.s.

    Abandoning police stations to rioters seems like a terrible decision. Probably came from the Mayor, who is openly on the side of the rioters. The retreating police may or may not be able to clear out the armories during the evacuation to keep it from falling into the hands of the rioters, but there's also evidence rooms (every case depending on that evidence is now compromised), police files, communications equipment, and various other things that would be suboptimal to have fall into rioter/antifa hands. Even if the rioters are too dumb to use most of it, it is still a loss to law enforcement. This is aside from the horrible symbolism of Law Enforcement Officers losing their strongpoint to a raggedy mob. Morale boost to rioters; morale depressant to law enforcement.

    Exactly.

    Last year the HK protests, which initially were mostly peaceful and had widespread support, turned into riots in one fateful night, i.e. July 1st, when organized, antifa-style thugs broke into the HK Legislative Council building, and trashed the very chamber in which Legco deliberates.

    Hundreds of rioters were wandering around inside the building for hours, smashing the hell out of everything, right on live TV. The cops could have sealed off the doors and hauled in the whole lot, but they were called off.

    It was the equivalent of the Capitol Building in Washington DC being overrun and vandalized, and then there being no consequences whatever for nearly all of those involved.

    This pusillanimous signal opened the door to eight months of relentless rioting and destruction, which was cooled off only by the outbreak of COVID-19.

    The moral of the story: sometimes rioting doesn’t just ‘burn out’ on its own. The MSP police are sending a terrible signal tonight; let’s hope the bill to be paid for it isn’t too steep.

    Could be, but I suspect that the modern policing way of dealing with riots is to let them run their course, monitor everything on cameras, preserve lives as much as possible, then track down the ringleaders later and arrest them at their homes at 5:00 a.m when no one is watching.

    That seemed to be how it went down initially with the London riots of 2011 from August 6th to August 11th after police shot and killed a local gangster who had just taken delivery of a handgun from an informer. The riots then spread to a dozen other cities.

    Then the police started to fight back. See graphic below.

    By August 15th 3,100 people had been arrested and charged with offenses ranging from receiving stolen goods to inciting riots on Facebook (sentenced to 4 years). By August 2012, 1292 rioters had been handed custodial sentences totaling 1,800 years at 16.8 months on an average.

    With the lock down, Covid-19, unemployment, and all, people have been waiting for some excuse to cut loose in a Summer of Discontent, and now there is one that everyone can take part in, whether as a political agitator or as a street gang member, casual looter, or even as a vigilante.

  99. Right now a case is being assembled that these two guys knew each other — apparently they were both working security at the same club for a long time. Furthermore the “killer” is married to an Asian and brought her whole family over. If that case pans out then this was not racism or mistrained police brutality at all, this was a personal grudge between two enemies with a private beef. The officer was abusing his authority and reacting to some other past provocation, but he was not operating under dangerously militarized mis-training or prejudicially reacting to skin color. This is really great news. It would mean that BLM has nothing to say here. It’s like trying to presuppose that Jewish Donald Sterling is a Klansman based on a conversation he had with his black lover permitting her to cheat on him with black men.

    No -- and yes.

    The hard core of the protesters have been easy to identify since the early days of the riots.

    But they're not the only ones getting involved and arrested. Hong Kong school kids -- lots from ages 12-17 -- have been drawn into it by appeals to their idealism and naivete, by pressure, and in plenty of cases by payment. These kids of course want to fit in with and impress their leaders, so they've learned and implemented antifa-style tactics themselves.

    As the unrest here starts to ramp up again as the virus scare is ending, the police tactics are much more straightforward: arrests are being made early in any 'protest' gathering, and lots of these kids are getting hauled in. It's hard to say what's going to happen to them in the long run.

    Totally agree. Hopefully, this creates the conversation that needs to be had. I want nothing more than to live in a country with my own people and be ruled by those like myself, people who will establish laws and customs that comport with my tribe’s sentiment. For the life of me I can’t understand why this doesn’t get more traction on the right. Is this not the obvious solution? We clearly aren’t voting our way out of this because we don’t have the votes anymore; half of our people are brainwashed to hate us and themselves; demographically, the situation worsens as our people die and mass immigration continues unabated (don’t kid yourself, they’ll never stop it). And we clearly aren’t ever going to attract substantially more non-white votes, even with a progressive economic platform; see Bernie Sanders vs. Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden among black voters in South Carolina if you disagree. To say otherwise is to promote a pipe dream.

    Racial disparities are intractable and can only be ameliorated by taking ever more wealth and opportunities from whites. In order to sate the mob, we’ve discriminated against our own kind: we’ve promoted sundry conspiracy theories like “institutional bias” and “stereotype threat” to gloss over minority failures; we suffer endless two minutes of hate every election cycle now*; we pay blacks hundreds of billions of dollars in welfare and affirmative action per year; we’ve discriminated against our own kind in college admissions to admit lower-scoring blacks; we let them have television networks, movies, magazines, colleges, and graduation ceremonies all to their own while we can’t even avoid having our pre-established, historical characters stolen and race swapped (black King Arthur / black Achilles) …. the list is endless.

    The results have been disastrous: a skyrocketing suicide rate, hopelessness and despair, the rise of fringe cults like Qanon. How long can this go on as this country diversifies by the day? Have you guys not studied what happened to the whites of Zimbabwe and South Africa? … or Haiti? Hated racial minorities / market majorities have poor track records over the long term. That’s the destiny your children face.

    I think many boomer conservatives have been brainwashed by decades of programing into a dogma of DR3 that won’t allow them to process contrary facts. A lot of Millennials, on the other hand, have been indoctrinated by edgy YouTubers and paid gatekeepers like Ben Shapiro to waste their time barking at safe issues such as “muh communism” (a long dead philosophy even the Chinese have abandoned — thus their national anthem law and nationalism 101 university courses). Result: nothing gets done.

    We may also have to face the possibility that there is no solution within the current system. Maybe whites just aren’t smart, selfless, or cohesive enough to fight back. In that case, whites (especially men) should be seeking opportunities to abandon ship before it goes down. Maybe we could go back to Europe or seek employment in Asia or move to a third country that, while liberal, isn’t a complete dystopian nightmare — Australia, New Zealand, Canada?

    This is an issue that more on the right should be talking about instead of avoiding or dismissing with hollow arguments. Coulter, Brimelow, Sailer, Buchanan and others should give this topic serious examination. Everyone needs a backup plan. What’s yours? Are they really going to sit around and do nothing until the day (coming soon) when there is a knock on the door and a loud command to come out with their hands up in the air? Or maybe they would rather just complain on the internet because they are older and would like to die in peace.

    A fitting end. Rome gave up that way, too.

    Weren’t most of the Revolutionary War figures older people? Both George Washington and Benjamin Franklin died before the year 1800. It’s sort of strange how this turned out. The country was founded by old guys and now that same demographic is content to let it burn because it’s to much of a hassle to do anything about it.

    *Central Park Karen was accosted by a black man for not having her dog on a leash but remember Barbecue Becky when she accosted blacks for some park ordinance she was actually right about? What’s the difference? Difference: we are discriminated against and attacked regardless of what we do.

    New Zealand and Australia are on the same path as the US. The only difference is that the US is further along the road to perdition.

    The big issue over here is China. Americans are used to being the top-dog super-power, and it makes them feel invulnerable. America is not perfect, but it's the least dreadful top-dog superpower the rest of the world can hope for.

    Australia and New Zealand are not super-powers and we don't feel invulnerable. As America retreats and China advances, we will either surrender completely or fight back. It could go either way.

    I groan with despair when I hear people talk about China as peaceful. I have a PhD in Asian history and China's history is as blood-drenched as anyone else's - of not more so. When America was fighting the civil war, millions upon millions of Chinese were dying in the Taiping Rebellion (maybe as many as fifty million). Liberal, well-educated Westerners have never even heard of it. Most of my students had never even heard of the Cultural Revolution, but they knew all about Jim Crow.

Though fools still refuse to see it, Obama is a perfect servant of our military banking complex. Now, Trump is being trumpeted as another political outsider.

    A Trump presidency will temporarily appease restless, lower class whites, while serving as a magnet for liberal anger. This will buy our ruling class time as they continue to wage war abroad while impoverishing Americans back home. Like Obama, Trump won’t fulfill any of his election promises, and this, too, will be blamed on bipartisan politics.

    Why? Because of these riots? Seriously? Inner city riots — with the racial component — are about as American as something can be in this land. And have been around for a long time. George Floyd does look like another Eric Garner though. A needless death for a piddly crime.

    Much more corrosive to America are the actions of the elites. And with weak leadership in Minneapolis (the Republicans need to continuously show the police abandoning the station to the mob), idiotic companies like twitter finally abandoning any pretence of fairness, and BLM and Antifa poised for a national reawakening, things are starting to look much better from my vantage point. I fervently hope BLM and Antifa vigorously exercise their First Amendment rights throughout the rest of this year. And convince the trans community to do the same.

After a few minutes, he’s led across the street, away from his vehicle, and about to be placed in a cop car. When the next video opens, the cop is kneeling on Floyd’s neck back on the original side of the street. It seems to me, the only way he could have gotten there is if, just after the first video cuts out, he broke away from the cops leading him and fled back to his vehicle. The moments between the two videos were recorded, are in the possession of prosecutors, who are saying all is not as it appears.

    In normal times, Val Demings could be the law & order sensible black. But she is a total unknown and running a black cop right now will hurt turnout among blacks.

Their vigilante purpose depends on this belief. They look earnestly for confirmation and opportunity, and wherever fascism in America bursts to the surface they rush to the scene to attack.

    Abandoning police stations to rioters seems like a terrible decision. Probably came from the Mayor, who is openly on the side of the rioters. The retreating police may or may not be able to clear out the armories during the evacuation to keep it from falling into the hands of the rioters, but there's also evidence rooms (every case depending on that evidence is now compromised), police files, communications equipment, and various other things that would be suboptimal to have fall into rioter/antifa hands. Even if the rioters are too dumb to use most of it, it is still a loss to law enforcement. This is aside from the horrible symbolism of Law Enforcement Officers losing their strongpoint to a raggedy mob. Morale boost to rioters; morale depressant to law enforcement.

    I’ve been in a few police stations in my day, small-town types in suburban DC. Evidence rooms and armories in those stations are akin to hardened Federal SCIFs. Entry and exit is controlled, no one in or out without credentials. Evidence rooms aren’t going to be compromised, at least no one has mentioned that tidbit and besides, police stations feed their evidence out to central evidence holding facilities that are convenient to courts and prosecutors and the chain is verified every step of the way. As for weapons, there were no marauders holding up the looted spoils of the arms stores from the 3rd precinct on this one. Something tells me at the first resistance to entry anywhere in the building, they would have moved on because once inside, they’d have to assume there would be folks along to chase them out or arrest them. There is going to be some very good photo evidence of the entrants to that building, too. They can make some very serious prosecutions in this if they choose to.

    If they do not, then we’ll know THAT particular part of civilization is lost.

    Apparently a local reporter (it's the fat bald guy in a fleece best) told the rioters that he personally supported their "protest" and thought they were "killing it." Great choice of words. No city has recovered from a black riot.
    ------
    There's similar events all over, not necessarily related. Apparently lefties (including the standard literal violent communists like BAMN) were planning to riot this weekend, to ritually acknowledge the warmer weather, but it's not yet clear if they "got lucky" or were important in getting people out.
    Here in Michigan, near Ann Arbor, a woman and her husband (last name "El") decided to videotape police arriving at a scene where gunshots had been reported.
    (Maybe this is unrelated but probably not: I've been hearing every night gunshots and fireworks, to include the really big nearly municipal grade fireworks, and have witnessed several pyrotechnics just barely clear rooftops because they were fired from two blocks away by amateurs who scattered when I and other annoyed residents approached. People are celebrating the warmer weather stupidly, the gunshots might not have been a [deliberate] shooting.)
    Police asked "El" that she am to leave the scene of a reported shooting for her safety. I don't need to tell you how she replied. One of the officers apparently punched her in the head (you know, like that Minneapolis old lady who was knocked out of a wheelchair and robbed was punched in the head). This head punching is supposedly the basis of a (told you so, complete failure and abdication of our law talkers) roadblock protest. Remember how lefties were steadily making illegal roadblocks their favorite mode of protest? Remember how the law talker reaction to that was to effectively legalize illegal roadblocks and attacking cars, setting the precedent that you can be sent to prison for the rest of your life if you do what had been at that time the standard and legal response to an illegal roadblock?
    Anyway, apparently this stuff is happening in Colorado as well (and wasn't there a Minneapolis-support protest in LA?), and where girls have balls:

    George Floyd’s history.

    “ Floyd pleaded guilty to the robbery where another suspect posed as a worker for the local water department, wearing a blue uniform in an attempt to gain access to the woman’s home, according to the charging document.

    But when the woman opened the door, she realized he was not with the water department and attempted to close the door, leading to a struggle.

    At that time, a Ford Explorer pulled up to the home and five other males exited the car and went up to the front door.

    The report states the largest of the group, who the victim later identified as Floyd, ‘forced his way inside the residence, placed a pistol against the complainant’s abdomen, and forced her into the living room area of the residence.

    ‘This large suspect then proceeded to search the residence while another armed suspect guarded the complainant, who was struck in the head and sides by this second armed suspect with his pistol while she screamed for help.’

    Not finding any drugs or money at the house, the men took jewelry and the woman’s cell phone and fled in their car. A neighbor who witnessed the robbery took down the car’s license plate number.

    Later, police tracked down the car and found Floyd behind the wheel. He was later identified by the woman as the large suspect who placed a gun against her stomach and forced her into her living room, the document states.”

    The actuality is that there have never been any worthy societies that didn’t enforce any and all forms of segregation (barring from jobs, designated living areas, etc.) and the necessary brutality to keep outsiders behaved (destroying Jews for example). Murcans like posters above just live in denial of the Way of Nature (where the likes of wolf packs aren’t brothers to each-other).

    All of liberalism, being rooted in a monsterous hodgepodge of the likes of Abrahamism and Anglo fantasies like “The Individual” can be summarized as defiance of the proper order. This proper order requires homogenity and segregation.

    Between the Muslims commtting genocide on Christian subjects or neighbors when given the oppurtunity (Ottomans’ massacres and ISIS’ antics), the state of modern Brazil, etc., it all points to the sure end of defying the Way of Things as either genocide, ghettoville or other forms of dysfunction, or replacement.

    "Can't believe?" Really? Anyone can't believe that, in a city strangled by the diversity cult, where the mayor summarily threw (probably bad) cops under the bus without due process in a brainless bid at appeasement, cops would stand down?
    Apparently a local reporter (it's the fat bald guy in a fleece best) told the rioters that he personally supported their "protest" and thought they were "killing it." Great choice of words. No city has recovered from a black riot.
    ------
    There's similar events all over, not necessarily related. Apparently lefties (including the standard literal violent communists like BAMN) were planning to riot this weekend, to ritually acknowledge the warmer weather, but it's not yet clear if they "got lucky" or were important in getting people out.
    Here in Michigan, near Ann Arbor, a woman and her husband (last name "El") decided to videotape police arriving at a scene where gunshots had been reported.
    (Maybe this is unrelated but probably not: I've been hearing every night gunshots and fireworks, to include the really big nearly municipal grade fireworks, and have witnessed several pyrotechnics just barely clear rooftops because they were fired from two blocks away by amateurs who scattered when I and other annoyed residents approached. People are celebrating the warmer weather stupidly, the gunshots might not have been a [deliberate] shooting.)
    Police asked "El" that she am to leave the scene of a reported shooting for her safety. I don't need to tell you how she replied. One of the officers apparently punched her in the head (you know, like that Minneapolis old lady who was knocked out of a wheelchair and robbed was punched in the head). This head punching is supposedly the basis of a (told you so, complete failure and abdication of our law talkers) roadblock protest. Remember how lefties were steadily making illegal roadblocks their favorite mode of protest? Remember how the law talker reaction to that was to effectively legalize illegal roadblocks and attacking cars, setting the precedent that you can be sent to prison for the rest of your life if you do what had been at that time the standard and legal response to an illegal roadblock?
    Anyway, apparently this stuff is happening in Colorado as well (and wasn't there a Minneapolis-support protest in LA?), and where girls have balls:

    I don’t know why this situation would surprise anybody. I predicted it on Day One of the lockdowns – that if they continue until warm weather riots would ensue. That it’s an election year only guaranteed my prophecy would come to pass.

    In re the Ann Arbor mini-riot (https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2020/05/outraged-residents-block-streets-in-protest-over-washtenaw-deputy-accused-of-punching-black-woman.html) – cops had nearly closed US23 at I94 (riot adjacent to US23 and I94 next exit South).

    Wait until the kids in Detriot get going..

    Where this gets interesting is the fact that now we have an extra 41 million plus unemployed and many more in financial hardship with no good prospects for improvement. Whites haven’t been answering riots since Detriot in the 40’s because they’ve thought the government would quell the problems and because they’ve had too much to lose. Today both those mitigating factors have been removed.

    A large part of the iSteve commentariat wants to believe this, and for those who do, they are profoundly misunderstanding our present circumstances.

    Even if we can argue that Trump's actual leadership wrt coronavirus hasn't actually been that bad, it's becoming very very clear that normie white voters aren't buying any more of Trump's persona and his derpy bullshit. Obviously, in objective terms the virus is going to have a huge economic and mortality fallout, no matter what the various authorities do or have done, but politically speaking it's the derp that kills.

    This is different than where we were in January where things were a little more in flux. Then, you could hope that voters would be motivated to vote for someone they trusted to represent them as opposed to CNN or google, who are representing other people. Now, people want clarity, intelligence, and action with purpose. And Trump isn't giving us those things.

They'll say they don't know anything, wasn't there, don't know how it got there, etc. Remember hands up? That happens all the time. I think it's possible the cop just assumed this was yet another lie. When you hear enough of them, you start to tune them out. If blacks didn't commit so much crime, the cop wouldn't have become so jaded that he ignored the guy's pleas.

    “ Floyd pleaded guilty to the robbery where another suspect posed as a worker for the local water department, wearing a blue uniform in an attempt to gain access to the woman’s home, according to the charging document.

    But when the woman opened the door, she realized he was not with the water department and attempted to close the door, leading to a struggle.

    At that time, a Ford Explorer pulled up to the home and five other males exited the car and went up to the front door.

    The report states the largest of the group, who the victim later identified as Floyd, ‘forced his way inside the residence, placed a pistol against the complainant’s abdomen, and forced her into the living room area of the residence.

    ‘This large suspect then proceeded to search the residence while another armed suspect guarded the complainant, who was struck in the head and sides by this second armed suspect with his pistol while she screamed for help.’

    Not finding any drugs or money at the house, the men took jewelry and the woman’s cell phone and fled in their car. A neighbor who witnessed the robbery took down the car’s license plate number.

    Later, police tracked down the car and found Floyd behind the wheel. He was later identified by the woman as the large suspect who placed a gun against her stomach and forced her into her living room, the document states.”

    Abandoning police stations to rioters seems like a terrible decision.

     

    Exactly.

    Last year the HK protests, which initially were mostly peaceful and had widespread support, turned into riots in one fateful night, i.e. July 1st, when organized, antifa-style thugs broke into the HK Legislative Council building, and trashed the very chamber in which Legco deliberates.

    Hundreds of rioters were wandering around inside the building for hours, smashing the hell out of everything, right on live TV. The cops could have sealed off the doors and hauled in the whole lot, but they were called off.

    It was the equivalent of the Capitol Building in Washington DC being overrun and vandalized, and then there being no consequences whatever for nearly all of those involved.

    This pusillanimous signal opened the door to eight months of relentless rioting and destruction, which was cooled off only by the outbreak of COVID-19.

    The moral of the story: sometimes rioting doesn't just 'burn out' on its own. The MSP police are sending a terrible signal tonight; let's hope the bill to be paid for it isn't too steep.

    It was the equivalent of the Capitol Building in Washington DC being overrun and vandalized, and then there being no consequences whatever for nearly all of those involved.

    Could be, but I suspect that the modern policing way of dealing with riots is to let them run their course, monitor everything on cameras, preserve lives as much as possible, then track down the ringleaders later and arrest them at their homes at 5:00 a.m when no one is watching.

    That seemed to be how it went down initially with the London riots of 2011 from August 6th to August 11th after police shot and killed a local gangster who had just taken delivery of a handgun from an informer. The riots then spread to a dozen other cities.

    Then the police started to fight back. See graphic below.

    By August 15th 3,100 people had been arrested and charged with offenses ranging from receiving stolen goods to inciting riots on Facebook (sentenced to 4 years). By August 2012, 1292 rioters had been handed custodial sentences totaling 1,800 years at 16.8 months on an average.

    It's a pity the government don't make this explicit - then you wouldn't have innocent white people like Richard Mannington Bowes beaten to death for trying to put out burning waste bins outside his house.

    Of course, if Mr Bowes had had thirty white neighbours at his side, he'd have been part of a "racist mob".

    https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/08/12/article-2025079-0D678B1F00000578-985_634x408.jpg


    As Mr Mannington Bowes remonstrated with the group and tried to stamp out a fire in a bin Desuze felled punched him in the face and he fell smashing his head on the pavement.

    The barrister said left-handed Desuze threw his full weight behind a punch to Mr Bowes's jaw, buckling his legs, knocking him unconscious and backwards where his head took the full force of impact on the road.

    Mr Bowes sustained 'catastrophic brain injuries' and never regained consciousness.

    After the attack it emerged Mr Mannington Bowes was a civic-minded man of old fashioned values who had been forced to confront yobs on his own doorstep for years.

    The reclusive former accountant had long been tormented by thugs who urinated on his front door and threw litter outside his home, according to friends and neighbours.

    However, his courage and habit of never walking away from something he considered wrong eventually cost him his life

    The DNC's election platform is obviously and openly inspired by hatred of traditional America as 'redneck' and 'racist.' Even if they don't win, it is still a platform that millions of Americans are happy to vote for. In most countries, screaming hatred of your own country's identity and history is a quick way to lose an election. That is, amazingly, still true in the UK. Jeremy Corbyn tried DNC-style tactics and was wiped out.

    Do you remember the Brett Kavanaugh fiasco? The mask came off people like Nancy Pelosi, Maisey Hirono and Kamala Harris. They are motivated by an incandescent hatred of their own nation. How can you miss it? Redemption for its past sins involves the complete elimination of its founding-stock population and their replacement with better people from successful and tolerant societies like Mexico and the Congo.

    Tim Wise has made a fortune abusing whites on US campuses. There is no pushback. Jordan Petersen turns up and there is a riot. I used to be an academic and academia is the only part of America that I really know on a personal and intimate level. At after-conference dinner parties, I was the only person with anything positive to say about the place - and I was often the only non-American there.

In case you have already thrown Fields under the bus, he was the one who had his car attacked by a mob of Antifa members wielding bats, lead pipes and one supposedly had an assault rifle. A mob of unruly Antifa douchebags blocked off the street and then started bashing in Field’s vehicles and would have likely pulled him out of the car and beat him to death if they could. What would you do IF you were attacked by a mob of 50 or so people with bats, lead pipes, who had the street blocked off? Fields was charged with 1st degree murder as if this whole act was planned in advance. And Fields is not alone, a few other members in Charlottesville, Virginia are serving lengthy sentences. One rescued an older gentleman who was being beaten with a flashlight by a “teen.” The “teen” served no jail time, the man who pulled the “teen” off the elderly white man received 8 years behind bars. One “teen” was walking around with a flame thrower and I think might have done a week, maybe a month at most in the county jail.

    Speaking of another movie, 1972’s Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, I’ve always thought folks should quietly ask if this is how self declared ‘progressives’ do indeed see Blacks, ie as brute beasts?

    And, then quietly point out that if the progressive’s New England political and spiritual forebears (powerful elements and hangers on of the Anglo-Saxon and Jewish peoples) ran the North American slave trade as dealers, wouldn’t it make sense that such a depraved mentality and outlook would think along those lines?

    It’s the people that are opposed to where all this is headed, a totalitarian Orwellian police state, that can afford to be civil, and should be. It’s the so called progressives who can’t, as witnessed by their propensity for extreme violence towards those who are in disagreement with them

    ‘So Conquest of the Planet of the Apes re-interprets the Watts Riots and other race violence of the 1960s as one possible and even legitimate response to entrenched racial inequality in America. Caesar tells Mr. McDonald that the only means left to him and his people (the apes) is, indeed, revolution. “We cannot be free until we have power. How else can we achieve it?”’

    It was the equivalent of the Capitol Building in Washington DC being overrun and vandalized, and then there being no consequences whatever for nearly all of those involved.
     
    Could be, but I suspect that the modern policing way of dealing with riots is to let them run their course, monitor everything on cameras, preserve lives as much as possible, then track down the ringleaders later and arrest them at their homes at 5:00 a.m when no one is watching.

    That seemed to be how it went down initially with the London riots of 2011 from August 6th to August 11th after police shot and killed a local gangster who had just taken delivery of a handgun from an informer. The riots then spread to a dozen other cities.

    Then the police started to fight back. See graphic below.

    By August 15th 3,100 people had been arrested and charged with offenses ranging from receiving stolen goods to inciting riots on Facebook (sentenced to 4 years). By August 2012, 1292 rioters had been handed custodial sentences totaling 1,800 years at 16.8 months on an average.

    It’s a pity the government don’t make this explicit – then you wouldn’t have innocent white people like Richard Mannington Bowes beaten to death for trying to put out burning waste bins outside his house.

    Of course, if Mr Bowes had had thirty white neighbours at his side, he’d have been part of a “racist mob”.

    As Mr Mannington Bowes remonstrated with the group and tried to stamp out a fire in a bin Desuze felled punched him in the face and he fell smashing his head on the pavement.

    The barrister said left-handed Desuze threw his full weight behind a punch to Mr Bowes’s jaw, buckling his legs, knocking him unconscious and backwards where his head took the full force of impact on the road.

    Mr Bowes sustained ‘catastrophic brain injuries’ and never regained consciousness.

    After the attack it emerged Mr Mannington Bowes was a civic-minded man of old fashioned values who had been forced to confront yobs on his own doorstep for years.

    The reclusive former accountant had long been tormented by thugs who urinated on his front door and threw litter outside his home, according to friends and neighbours.

    However, his courage and habit of never walking away from something he considered wrong eventually cost him his life

    Which is why I don’t live in London, and wouldn’t even if I’d been raised there.

    Abandoning police stations to rioters seems like a terrible decision.

     

    Exactly.

    Last year the HK protests, which initially were mostly peaceful and had widespread support, turned into riots in one fateful night, i.e. July 1st, when organized, antifa-style thugs broke into the HK Legislative Council building, and trashed the very chamber in which Legco deliberates.

    Hundreds of rioters were wandering around inside the building for hours, smashing the hell out of everything, right on live TV. The cops could have sealed off the doors and hauled in the whole lot, but they were called off.

    It was the equivalent of the Capitol Building in Washington DC being overrun and vandalized, and then there being no consequences whatever for nearly all of those involved.

    This pusillanimous signal opened the door to eight months of relentless rioting and destruction, which was cooled off only by the outbreak of COVID-19.

    The moral of the story: sometimes rioting doesn't just 'burn out' on its own. The MSP police are sending a terrible signal tonight; let's hope the bill to be paid for it isn't too steep.

    BTW, while these are feminine characteristics, this applies to men as well. Jimmy Carter turned out to be prone to a sort of schoolmarmish hectoring and Americans got sick of it quickly and voted him out. (I voted for him in '76 and by late '77 was sick of the guy.

After a few minutes, he's led across the street, away from his vehicle, and about to be placed in a cop car. When the next video opens, the cop is kneeling on Floyd's neck back on the original side of the street. It seems to me, the only way he could have gotten there is if, just after the first video cuts out, he broke away from the cops leading him and fled back to his vehicle. The moments between the two videos were recorded, are in the possession of prosecutors, who are saying all is not as it appears.

    I noticed the same thing watching the live feeds last night. The white trustafarians (antifa? bored zoomers? agent provocateurs sponsored by bad actors? some mix thereof?) were also the rioters using more organized tactics like pointing blinding lasers at helicopters and police, cutting gas lines, etc. They wore masks. And they were setting off firecrackers near the burning police station. Black rioters were mostly unmasked, appeared to mainly be looting, and there were more of them out during the daytime relative to night, though a few hippie/woke looking blacks were sprinkled into the trustafarian burning police precinct crowd.

    And then there is the question of the gas-mask umbrella-toting white man, alleged to be a St. Paul cop by social media, who broke the windows of the first store to be looted, the Autozone. He also spray-painted something like “free shit zone” on the walls. One of the protestors asked what he was doing and he got angry. What was this guy’s motive?

    All odd. And now turns out Chauvin and Floyd worked together as bouncers for a Mexican bar? And the police can arrest a CNN reporter on live tv but can’t do anything else to hem in the chaos?

    Something about this is starting to feel rather theatrical. Some bad actors (I really don’t know who, I suspect antifa, but I wouldn’t rule out foreign intelligence, either) are taking advantage of the anger/protests over a legitimate police brutality incident, and are allowing it to escalate (and even encouraging escalation) for political reasons.

  229. That was a rather extreme form of the blue flu. They didn’t just call in sick, they actually evacuated the building en masse. Maybe they decided to send a message to the city government and citizens. “There you go, no police brutality, nothing to complain about now”. We are seeing increasingly more of this siege mentality in the police, they regard all civilians as potential problems and just want to get through their brief careers and collect that sweet big city emergency responder pension.

    "Shortly before midnight on Monday, July 24, President Johnson authorized the use of federal troops in compliance with the Insurrection Act of 1807, which authorizes the President to call in armed forces to fight an insurrection in any state against the government. This gave Detroit the distinction of being the only domestic American city to have been occupied by federal troops three times...

    ... Starting at 1:30 on Tuesday, July 25, some 8,000 Michigan Army National Guardsmen were deployed to quell the disorder. Later, their number would be augmented with 4,700 paratroopers from both the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, and 360 Michigan State Police officers."

    Deliberate implies that this cop intended that his actions kill the Negro upon whose neck he was kneeling. I very much doubt this and it would be impossible to prove in a criminal trial. However, one could argue that this cop’s actions were reckless to the point of clearly endangering the Negro’s life. This seems obvious to me and I’m sure it would be to most juries. The bottom line is that this one cop deserves to be fired from the police force, he deserves to do prison time for some form of homicide (not murder), and he’ll probably face civil liabilities that will make the rest of his life an endless misery.

    In other words, he’ll force punishment commensurate with that received by this other Minneapolis cop https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/04/30/minnesota-police-officer-convicted-murder-fatal-shooting-australian-woman-who-called/ but for a less egregious violation of police procedures and a homicide far less close to an open execution.

    It depends on what police practices are when a large, powerful man is resisting arrest. It depends on how much pressure the officer was actually applying to Chauvin’s neck and back.It depends on how aware he was of where the pressure was applied. It depends on whether he was aware he was harming Chauvin. (Arrestees commonly and falsely claim that the “can’t breathe.”) It depends on what his intention was. It depends on the cause of death.

    By some appearances, the officer was not aware of what was going on with Floyd. Does he deserve to have his life destroyed for a mistake?

    Not deliberate in the sense that they didn’t intend or expect Floyd to die (that much seems obvious), so not 1st or 2nd degree murder. But manslaughter is clearly on the table.

    I do find it absolutely astonishing that a police officer, knowing that he is being videotaped, could be kneeling on the neck of a black man, hear him say “I can’t breath! I can’t breath!”, and not have a little warning sign start flashing in his head saying “uh oh, potential problem!” Maybe they really do do this all the time…?

    It isn’t uncommon for an arrestee to claim (falsely) that he cannot breath. Ask an urban police officer. Besides, if you are talking normally, you are breathing. At some point Floyd, stopped taking and went silent.

    Abandoning police stations to rioters seems like a terrible decision.

     

    Exactly.

    Last year the HK protests, which initially were mostly peaceful and had widespread support, turned into riots in one fateful night, i.e. July 1st, when organized, antifa-style thugs broke into the HK Legislative Council building, and trashed the very chamber in which Legco deliberates.

    Hundreds of rioters were wandering around inside the building for hours, smashing the hell out of everything, right on live TV. The cops could have sealed off the doors and hauled in the whole lot, but they were called off.

    It was the equivalent of the Capitol Building in Washington DC being overrun and vandalized, and then there being no consequences whatever for nearly all of those involved.

    This pusillanimous signal opened the door to eight months of relentless rioting and destruction, which was cooled off only by the outbreak of COVID-19.

    The moral of the story: sometimes rioting doesn't just 'burn out' on its own. The MSP police are sending a terrible signal tonight; let's hope the bill to be paid for it isn't too steep.

  248. One thing that does not get discussed is the role of CNN in instigating riots and acting as agent-provocateurs for political protests and demonstrations.

    I became aware of this when I was in Port-au-Prince, Haiti just after the 2010 earthquake disaster and saw a CNN camera crew set up on an upstairs balcony near the presidential palace and handing out placards, markers, and English language dictionaries so that protesters could hold up nice legible signs in English for the cameras. And of course people who wanted to protest would naturally congregate facing the sunset where the cameras could get a nice angle on them

    (In Port-au-Prince I also saw Anderson Cooper tooling around the city on the back of a brown pickup truck wearing a tight black tee shirt and looking for good places to pose in front of places where a lot of people had been killed.)

    It appears to me that CNN does this kind of thing all over the world from China to Egypt and back again, and then a special thrill for them is if one of their reporters is arrested or attacked by bystanders, which is a special badge of honor for the reporter. OMG, the freedom of the press is under attack!

    So, by having the cameras set up outside the police station, CNN is inviting demonstrators to attack the police station. Their camera crew probably deserved to be arrested. A pity they were not given a larger dose of their own medicine.

    Well, I guess it all makes for good TV and sells soap.

    George Floyd’s history.

    “ Floyd pleaded guilty to the robbery where another suspect posed as a worker for the local water department, wearing a blue uniform in an attempt to gain access to the woman’s home, according to the charging document.

    But when the woman opened the door, she realized he was not with the water department and attempted to close the door, leading to a struggle.

    At that time, a Ford Explorer pulled up to the home and five other males exited the car and went up to the front door.

    The report states the largest of the group, who the victim later identified as Floyd, ‘forced his way inside the residence, placed a pistol against the complainant’s abdomen, and forced her into the living room area of the residence.

    ‘This large suspect then proceeded to search the residence while another armed suspect guarded the complainant, who was struck in the head and sides by this second armed suspect with his pistol while she screamed for help.’

    Not finding any drugs or money at the house, the men took jewelry and the woman’s cell phone and fled in their car. A neighbor who witnessed the robbery took down the car’s license plate number.

    Later, police tracked down the car and found Floyd behind the wheel. He was later identified by the woman as the large suspect who placed a gun against her stomach and forced her into her living room, the document states.”

The woke among us immediately realized that Floyd, if not a career criminal, at least had an extensive history of serious crimes.

    Other code phrases the MSM use are “devoted father”, meaning “sired bastards from whose mothers he occasionaly scrounges welfare money” or “studying to be [prestigious occupation]” meaning “living off student loans while matriculating in grievance studies at the local junior college”.

    Could be, but I suspect that the modern policing way of dealing with riots is to let them run their course, monitor everything on cameras, preserve lives as much as possible, then track down the ringleaders later and arrest them at their homes at 5:00 a.m when no one is watching.

    That seemed to be how it went down initially with the London riots of 2011 from August 6th to August 11th after police shot and killed a local gangster who had just taken delivery of a handgun from an informer. The riots then spread to a dozen other cities.

    Then the police started to fight back. See graphic below.

    By August 15th 3,100 people had been arrested and charged with offenses ranging from receiving stolen goods to inciting riots on Facebook (sentenced to 4 years). By August 2012, 1292 rioters had been handed custodial sentences totaling 1,800 years at 16.8 months on an average.

    I recognize how this is not valid, but I hope you can see my point: I have never seen a home video of a police officer who responds to an arrestee’s complaint by getting off his neck and withstraining him in a different way. That anecdote represents a kind of institutional injustice, although not having anything to do with race.

    We are an overpoliced society–whether you are talking about FISA abuses, buffoonish TSA agents, or wrongful death in course of arrest, the problems stem from inappropriate assumptions in favor of state power over individuals.

    Abandoning police stations to rioters seems like a terrible decision.

     

    Exactly.

    Last year the HK protests, which initially were mostly peaceful and had widespread support, turned into riots in one fateful night, i.e. July 1st, when organized, antifa-style thugs broke into the HK Legislative Council building, and trashed the very chamber in which Legco deliberates.

    Hundreds of rioters were wandering around inside the building for hours, smashing the hell out of everything, right on live TV. The cops could have sealed off the doors and hauled in the whole lot, but they were called off.

    It was the equivalent of the Capitol Building in Washington DC being overrun and vandalized, and then there being no consequences whatever for nearly all of those involved.

    This pusillanimous signal opened the door to eight months of relentless rioting and destruction, which was cooled off only by the outbreak of COVID-19.

    The moral of the story: sometimes rioting doesn't just 'burn out' on its own. The MSP police are sending a terrible signal tonight; let's hope the bill to be paid for it isn't too steep.

    Could be, but I suspect that the modern policing way of dealing with riots is to let them run their course, monitor everything on cameras, preserve lives as much as possible, then track down the ringleaders later and arrest them at their homes at 5:00 a.m when no one is watching.

    That seemed to be how it went down initially with the London riots of 2011 from August 6th to August 11th after police shot and killed a local gangster who had just taken delivery of a handgun from an informer. The riots then spread to a dozen other cities.

    Then the police started to fight back. See graphic below.

    By August 15th 3,100 people had been arrested and charged with offenses ranging from receiving stolen goods to inciting riots on Facebook (sentenced to 4 years). By August 2012, 1292 rioters had been handed custodial sentences totaling 1,800 years at 16.8 months on an average.

    "Can't believe?" Really? Anyone can't believe that, in a city strangled by the diversity cult, where the mayor summarily threw (probably bad) cops under the bus without due process in a brainless bid at appeasement, cops would stand down?
    Apparently a local reporter (it's the fat bald guy in a fleece best) told the rioters that he personally supported their "protest" and thought they were "killing it." Great choice of words. No city has recovered from a black riot.
    ------
    There's similar events all over, not necessarily related. Apparently lefties (including the standard literal violent communists like BAMN) were planning to riot this weekend, to ritually acknowledge the warmer weather, but it's not yet clear if they "got lucky" or were important in getting people out.
    Here in Michigan, near Ann Arbor, a woman and her husband (last name "El") decided to videotape police arriving at a scene where gunshots had been reported.
    (Maybe this is unrelated but probably not: I've been hearing every night gunshots and fireworks, to include the really big nearly municipal grade fireworks, and have witnessed several pyrotechnics just barely clear rooftops because they were fired from two blocks away by amateurs who scattered when I and other annoyed residents approached. People are celebrating the warmer weather stupidly, the gunshots might not have been a [deliberate] shooting.)
    Police asked "El" that she am to leave the scene of a reported shooting for her safety. I don't need to tell you how she replied. One of the officers apparently punched her in the head (you know, like that Minneapolis old lady who was knocked out of a wheelchair and robbed was punched in the head). This head punching is supposedly the basis of a (told you so, complete failure and abdication of our law talkers) roadblock protest. Remember how lefties were steadily making illegal roadblocks their favorite mode of protest? Remember how the law talker reaction to that was to effectively legalize illegal roadblocks and attacking cars, setting the precedent that you can be sent to prison for the rest of your life if you do what had been at that time the standard and legal response to an illegal roadblock?
    Anyway, apparently this stuff is happening in Colorado as well (and wasn't there a Minneapolis-support protest in LA?), and where girls have balls:

    This seems to be a replay of something that was happening in Paris during the
    Gilets Jaunes protests. There were reports that the violence was being instigated by agents provocateurs affiliated with the police, aided and abetted by Antifa black blocs and urban yoots from the islamicised banlieus. But unlike Paris, the authorities in Minneapolis have not started blowing out the eyes and blowing off the hands of protesters; probably this is because there are no alienated and marginalized working-class whites on the scene at this point.

    One thing that does not get discussed is the role of CNN in instigating riots and acting as agent-provocateurs for political protests and demonstrations.

    I became aware of this when I was in Port-au-Prince, Haiti just after the 2010 earthquake disaster and saw a CNN camera crew set up on an upstairs balcony near the presidential palace and handing out placards, markers, and English language dictionaries so that protesters could hold up nice legible signs in English for the cameras. And of course people who wanted to protest would naturally congregate facing the sunset where the cameras could get a nice angle on them

    (In Port-au-Prince I also saw Anderson Cooper tooling around the city on the back of a brown pickup truck wearing a tight black tee shirt and looking for good places to pose in front of places where a lot of people had been killed.)

    It appears to me that CNN does this kind of thing all over the world from China to Egypt and back again, and then a special thrill for them is if one of their reporters is arrested or attacked by bystanders, which is a special badge of honor for the reporter. OMG, the freedom of the press is under attack!

    So, by having the cameras set up outside the police station, CNN is inviting demonstrators to attack the police station. Their camera crew probably deserved to be arrested. A pity they were not given a larger dose of their own medicine.

He goes through that exact “yes-dear, yes-dear” routine, then she hit him with a “non-yes-or-no-answer” question. He answered, “yes” She asked him again. He answered with phony interest in his voice “yes honey I fully agree.” She said “that wasn’t a yes or no question…,” with audible anger in her voice.

    Bonus: the commie (((mayor))) of Minneapolis comes out on the side of the rioters.

    It’s obvious the corporate media wants this to be a riot and wants to hang this on Trump. And are blaming the cops big time and making them seem corrupt and weak.

    If the cops around the nation really wanted to get back at the corporate liars, they’d have a nationwide agreement to stop doing any details involving any major corporate media giant, or even local ones. No protection, no security, and any incident involving their workers being harassed would immediately be put on the back burner.

    It won’t happen because they are who ores, but that’d be the way to strike back.

  272. The issue is the nature of the threat and how Whites react and how Blacks turn out.

    Mostly random snipers plus a few riots in Southern states leads swing White voters in the Rust Belt to see themselves shot dead since there is demand by the snipers. No elect this Dem snipers stop shooting.

    By contrast large scale Northern or Western riots means demands and massive Black turnout. Plus displays of dominance work on White Women who go with whoever swaggers most in the street in front of cameras.

    Whites don’t fight. We are not capable of it, and have not been for more than a hundred years. Abject surrender is always the case when confronted by non Whites particularly Africans.

    Look at Twitter. They are likely to ban Trump. While allowing Ice Cube to call for killing White people. Already White actresses are calling for race War and of course siding with Blacks.

    Suppose this rolls into suburbs and people are burned out or burned alive? Trump is removed by the FBI and they just install Stacey Abrams. With it being legal for Blacks to rob and kill Whites and illegal for Whites to defend themselves.

    The Purge movies awoke something deep in Blacks and the elites. Both want their mortal enemies destroyed and see this time now with most of the middle and working class broke and unemployed as a final solution.

You hate each other too much. America will have to split into smaller units that are cohesive and put the interests of their own citizens first.

    This is not obvious to Americans who are emotionally bound up with their homeland. To an outsider, it is increasingly undeniable.

    According to Christopher Caldwell, "The Age of Entitlement", the total cost of the Civil Rights Act and associated actions (such as the Bake decision) comes to something over the total Federal debt. The effect of the Civil Rights act was to give Civil Rights programs priority call on all US funds, commercial and governmental. The United States has spent all it has and quite a bit of its future on an attempt to implement Civil Rights. Caldwell documents this pretty well.

    So, say about 20*10^12 to maybe 40 trillion dollars, with opportunity costs not counted.

And of course people who wanted to protest would naturally congregate facing the sunset where the cameras could get a nice angle on them

    (In Port-au-Prince I also saw Anderson Cooper tooling around the city on the back of a brown pickup truck wearing a tight black tee shirt and looking for good places to pose in front of places where a lot of people had been killed.)

    Deliberate implies that this cop intended that his actions kill the Negro upon whose neck he was kneeling. I very much doubt this and it would be impossible to prove in a criminal trial. However, one could argue that this cop's actions were reckless to the point of clearly endangering the Negro's life. This seems obvious to me and I'm sure it would be to most juries. The bottom line is that this one cop deserves to be fired from the police force, he deserves to do prison time for some form of homicide (not murder), and he'll probably face civil liabilities that will make the rest of his life an endless misery.

    In other words, he'll force punishment commensurate with that received by this other Minneapolis cop https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/04/30/minnesota-police-officer-convicted-murder-fatal-shooting-australian-woman-who-called/ but for a less egregious violation of police procedures and a homicide far less close to an open execution.

    It depends on what police practices are when a large, powerful man is resisting arrest. It depends on how much pressure the officer was actually applying to Chauvin’s neck and back.It depends on how aware he was of where the pressure was applied. It depends on whether he was aware he was harming Chauvin. (Arrestees commonly and falsely claim that the “can’t breathe.”) It depends on what his intention was. It depends on the cause of death.

Never give the power of life and death to the state.

  300. A few thoughts:

    Re: rioters taking over a police station. This was ordered by higher ups. One big problem is that if police start shooting rioters first, before getting shot at themselves, or seriously taken down and captured, then they will be seen as starting a one way massacre. Shooting unarmed civilians, no matter what they do, is nearly always seen as a bad idea. Politically, morally.

    You can retreat or use water cannons, etc. No idea why they abandoned their station.

    Re: the death. No one seems to be waiting for an autopsy. It seems highly likely that the arrested subject probably had some major health problem, Asthma, obesity, COPD, heart blockage. This doesn’t disappear the cops over reaction during the arrest, using knee on neck, ignoring worsening situation. But for all we know this guy was high/drunk or at least seriously in poor health. Of course that’s why cops need to behave less macho.

    As to result, someone may want to investigate, post election, how these Minn. precincts voted (Dem versus Rep) in the fall elections. Especially versus 2016. Or how riot impacted areas are affected. Do they become more “progressive” and crime tolerant, or less? The people who actually live/work there and lose property to looters, arson, etc. Does antifa actually help Dems anywhere?

They’d end up being far more brutal than any white police, because blacks aren’t easy to control by peaceful means, to put it mildly.

    It would be stupid for the left to completely censor far-right thought online. If anything, social media has restrained the far right, since it allows 99.999% of them to LARP online, with the only ones meeting in-person being people attending intellectual conferences or low IQ losers who broadcast their intentions on their t-shirts. Not exactly threats to the establishment.

    Remove all far right talk online, 90% of conservatives will go along with it, including aforementioned LARPER's, intellectuals and forensic club types. The other 10% will begin to quietly meet in-person and learn how to organize. It's this later group that leads to action. And for good or bad, some societal persecution is needed to filter out the true believers.

    This is probably overdue anyway, since the intellectual framework for the nationalist right has been spelled out fairly clearly at this point, with everything else being leisure-time keystrokes. Also, the far right probably needs to stop voluntarily compiling evidence dossiers for the cops, so a social media blackout is probably for the best, even if the LARPERs, intellectuals and clout-chasers complain about being censored.

    According to Christopher Caldwell, “The Age of Entitlement”, the total cost of the Civil Rights Act and associated actions (such as the Bake decision) comes to something over the total Federal debt. The effect of the Civil Rights act was to give Civil Rights programs priority call on all US funds, commercial and governmental. The United States has spent all it has and quite a bit of its future on an attempt to implement Civil Rights. Caldwell documents this pretty well.

    So, say about 20*10^12 to maybe 40 trillion dollars, with opportunity costs not counted.

    This is a net positive for Republicans.

    More of this forces Biden to pick a black VP, which won't help much in a national election. It will likely be, in order of likelihood, (1) Kamala, (2) Val Demings or (3) Michelle Obama as a wild card.

    In normal times, Val Demings could be the law & order sensible black. But she is a total unknown and running a black cop right now will hurt turnout among blacks.

    Biden with a sensible nice white lady VP would be hard to beat, considering Trump's performance in the past few months. But with the emerging Karen meme, a white lady VP will kill black turnout as well. They don't want to be lectured by a white lady for 4 years.

When off duty, he served as security for a Minneapolis nightclub for 17 years, and now the owner is saying he had a hair trigger temper and was scary. So why did this moron keep him on the payroll of 17 years? Wouldn’t she be afraid of a law suit from one of her patrons? Or were the patrons even scarier than he was? Its pretty much a railroad job.

    I think it was for 42 dollars. Anyone is allowed to bounce one small check amount in their life due to not remembering what they have in their bank account. It's not a crime and your bank pay it and zaps you with a fee for it. Plenty of middle-class people have done it at least once.

    Floyd was trying to pass counterfeit money, which is a very different deal. I've never seen counterfeits in circulation. When you have it in your hand, it's usually because you're the one who counterfeited it.

    Floyd also had a serious criminal record before this time, including armed robbery.

It depends on whether he was aware he was harming Chauvin. (Arrestees commonly and falsely claim that the “can’t breathe.”) It depends on what his intention was. It depends on the cause of death.

    It's true that elites like Albright are primarily responsible, but a significant chunk of the ordinary people are responsible as well.

    Most conservatives and Republican voters, including MAGA populist types, are reflexively jingoistic and willingly support and join the armed forces and vote for and support interventionism. The morally principled anti-interventionists are a small minority. These people are the material and moral basis for American foreign policy and intervention around the world. If these people weren't reflexively jingoistic and joined the armed forces, these foreign policies would have no chance of being implemented.

    People here complain about liberals and Jews, but they don't brainlessly support US foreign policy interventionism and join the armed forces. People here especially blame the Jews, but Jews were among the most anti-Iraq War demographic groups in the country.

    Most of these ordinary folks don't care about the millions of dead and devastation caused by US foreign policy. They will never "remove the real demons," because they are like the zombie horde of the demons.

    Agreed. I voted for Trump and intend to vote for him again, but at this point I think he has been a disaster, because: 1) he has mostly failed to come through on the promises that got him elected; and 2) he has hopelessly alienated many voters (including some lukewarm liberals) who are not unsympathetic to our side on the issues and could have been won over.

    2) is worse. Most people don't join parties based on a careful analysis of the issues; they join a team based on its brand and how it makes them feel, and once they solidly identify with a team it's hard to make them switch. Trump's hideous personal issues have provoked an undetermined but probably substantial number of fence-sitters into committing to the Democrats, and I think this is going to cost the Republicans dearly, not only in this election but many to come.

    At this point, hard as it is to say, I think it probably would have been better if Hillary had won in 2016. Her policies would have been terrible, but they would have been largely blocked by a Republican Congress. And instead of Trump poisoning the Republican brand it would have been Hillary poisoning the Democrats, setting them up for a fall in 2020. The Republican candidate might have been the usual Conservationism Inc. droid, but there is at least a chance that the example of Trump's winning the nomination in 2016 might have inspired a populist revolt, and we'd end up with someone decent. Not the best scenario admittedly (the best would have been Trump turning out to have a brain!), but probably better than what we are looking at now. I'm really hoping I'm wrong, but I'm terrified that the Democrats are not only going to win the Presidency but control of both houses of Congress in November, and then the floodgates will open!

Maybe they decided to send a message to the city government and citizens. “There you go, no police brutality, nothing to complain about now”. We are seeing increasingly more of this siege mentality in the police, they regard all civilians as potential problems and just want to get through their brief careers and collect that sweet big city emergency responder pension.

    A large part of the iSteve commentariat wants to believe this, and for those who do, they are profoundly misunderstanding our present circumstances.

    Even if we can argue that Trump’s actual leadership wrt coronavirus hasn’t actually been that bad, it’s becoming very very clear that normie white voters aren’t buying any more of Trump’s persona and his derpy bullshit. Obviously, in objective terms the virus is going to have a huge economic and mortality fallout, no matter what the various authorities do or have done, but politically speaking it’s the derp that kills.

    This is different than where we were in January where things were a little more in flux. Then, you could hope that voters would be motivated to vote for someone they trusted to represent them as opposed to CNN or google, who are representing other people. Now, people want clarity, intelligence, and action with purpose. And Trump isn’t giving us those things.

    U.S. FOILS MAJOR SMUGGLING OPERATION
    Jane Meredith Adams. Special to the Tribune

    Two federal undercover agents--one of them posing as a suave Mafia operative from Miami--negotiated with Chinese arms dealers for more than 16 months to bring about the largest seizure of smuggled automatic weapons in American history, federal officials said Thursday.

    In releasing the first details of a sting operation that led to the arrests of seven suspects Wednesday in the San Francisco Bay Area, federal officials told a spy-thriller tale of arms-import deals gone wrong, money buried under a potted tree and the payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars to illegally import 2,000 AK-47 rifles with a street value estimated at $4 million.

    While many of the suspected smugglers have direct ties to two state-owned Chinese weapons manufacturing companies, federal officials would not say whether the guns had been illegally imported with the knowledge of the Chinese Communist government. Seven other suspects remain at large in China.

    Of the two weapons firms, the China Northern Industrial Corp., also known as Norinco, and Polytech, the latter supplies the Chinese military.

    "Several People's Republic of China citizens charged in this are being sought, and some do have an association with government arms distributors," said Geoffrey A. Anderson, assistant U.S. attorney and chief of the organized-crime strike force in Northern California.

    The wood-handled weapons were headed for street gangs in cities across America, said Michael Yamaguchi, U.S. attorney for Northern California. "The intent was to put high-powered weapons in our neighborhoods," he said. "They are often the choice of extremist groups and street gangs."

    The sting came at an awkward time in U.S.-China relations, which have suffered recently because of persistent Chinese copyright violations of U.S. intellectual property, continued human rights abuses and the discovery that a Chinese company had exported to Pakistan equipment that can be used in the development of nuclear weapons.

    Meanwhile, China's most favored nation trading status is due for annual renewal, and President Clinton is pressing for congressional approval despite mounting frictions in the U.S.-China relationship.

    Wayne N. Yamashita, assistant special agent in charge of the U.S. Customs Service in San Francisco, said the capture of the weapons was extremely significant.

    "The primary purpose for a fully automatic weapon is to kill people," he said. "It's not a hunting weapon."

    The sting began in December 1994 after a Customs informant tipped the agency that Hammond Ku, a Taiwanese resident alien living in Soquel, Calif., had several thousand Chinese-manufactured weapons in crates labeled from Polytech and Norinco stored in his warehouse.

    Ku told government agents that the Chinese government had "full knowledge" of the deal, according to the affidavit.

    Working under the code name Operation Dragon Fire, an undercover agent from the Treasury Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, posing as a Mafia member, got in touch with Ku, as did an undercover Customs agent, who posed as a man who said he knew how to get around Customs officials at the Port of Oakland.

    Months of tentative dealing ensued via fax and in clandestine meetings in San Francisco hotels. Both agents were white men who did not speak Chinese. One deal fell apart and another then was put together, said Yamashita.

    Ku, 49, and others who facilitated the transaction said the rifles were just the beginning. They offered hand-held rockets, anti-aircraft missiles and even tanks.

    "They indicated to us the source would be almost limitless," said Yamashita. The motivation of the smugglers, he said, was "purely monetary."

    At one point, the Chinese arms dealers wanted the undercover agents to meet them outside the U.S.

    "They wanted us to go to China," said Yamashita, "which we refused."

    Federal officials would not say whether the Chinese arms dealers obtained the weapons legally in China and then exported them to the U.S. The weapons were made at the Norinco plant in Dalian, China, near North Korea. According to the affidavit, the manufacture involved the "active participation" of Norinco's vice president in China.

    The AK-47s were seized two months ago in a container that had been smuggled through the Oakland port on board the ship the Empress Phoenix. On Wednesday, agents seized 500 additional firearms, including some made in the U.S. as well as China, from Ku's warehouse.

    Agents then moved in to simultaneously arrest the seven suspects in a sweep from south of San Francisco to Sacramento.

    Of the seven, one was a white male from the Sacramento area, Kenneth Taylor, while the rest were either resident aliens or Chinese-Americans. Taylor's role was to provide the means to convert the rifles from semi-automatic to fully automatic, officials said.

    Others arrested included Linda Huang, 55, who is Ku's sister, who put 47 sample AK-47 rifles in her luggage on a plane from China to the U.S. for her brother, according to the affidavit. Clearing the sample shipment through Customs was set up as a test for the undercover Customs agent. He passed.

    Ku picked up the suitcase from an airport locker. Under their agreement, Ku then left $500 under a potted tree as payment for the undercover agent.

    Huang also used her travel agency to arrange for tickets for Ku and an aide to travel to China for negotiations.

    Chinese citizens named in the complaint include Qi Feng, who brokered the deal between the undercover agents and Norinco representatives; Lu Yi Lum, assistant president of Norinco, and two other Norinco officials.

    The bottom line is that this one cop deserves to be fired from the police force, he deserves to do prison time for some form of homicide (not murder), and he’ll probably face civil liabilities that will make the rest of his life an endless misery.
     
    It depends on what police practices are when a large, powerful man is resisting arrest. It depends on how much pressure the officer was actually applying to Chauvin’s neck and back.It depends on how aware he was of where the pressure was applied. It depends on whether he was aware he was harming Chauvin. (Arrestees commonly and falsely claim that the “can’t breathe.”) It depends on what his intention was. It depends on the cause of death.

    By some appearances, the officer was not aware of what was going on with Floyd. Does he deserve to have his life destroyed for a mistake?

    That’s a pretty damn big mistake. He was crushing his neck while the guy said he couldn’t breathe and begged for his life. At the very least this is manslaughter. Like I said before, regardless of your political orientation no one in their right mind should want cops to have the legal ability to kill with impunity especially in a situation like this when his life is very very obviously not in danger. Never give the power of life and death to the state.

    The preliminary autopsy report did not find asphyxiation or neck injury. Chauvin had most of his weight on the right knee and was trying not to put too much pressure on the neck. This was an unfortunate accident. Possibly negligent. But there was no intention to kill or do serious bodily injury.

    2016 was a remarkable year in a lot of comment sections for "long time readers" who had suddenly decided to post for the very first time! and who then proceeded to drop FUD bombs as often as possible.

    The variation I see some places now is the "Oh, I was totally for Trump then but now I just can't even..." from entities with nearly zero poasting history.

    Long term downers are another category. Notice how Coronavinus has been a very busy little bot on anything to do with Minneapolis, for example.

    Not all the blackpilling FUD peddlers are drawing a check from some foundation or 'zine, but plenty of them surely are.

  353. “Klobuchar is the reasonable safe choice for Biden — stuck with his stupid promise to run with a gyno-American.”

    Like AD, I thought Biden’s pledge was asinine. Why cut yourself off from potentially presidential running mates like U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, who is extremely liberal but manages to win statewide elections in Ohio? But Biden and his campaign knew something the rest of us didn’t: the Tara Reade story was about to break, at least in fringe outlets like The Intercept and Vox. Eventually, it would find its way into the MSM, if only by indirection (“Why Are The New York Times and The Washington Post Ignoring The Tara Reade Allegations?”).

    Having Biden promise to name a woman as his running mate did two things at once: (1) it got out in front of the Reade story, and made a positive impression on women voters (and, perhaps of equal value, women journalists) before most people had ever heard Tara Reade’s name; (2) it froze the female politicians who would otherwise have been clamoring for Biden to withdraw from the race (remember Al Franken?), and turned them into some of Joe’s most fervent defenders.

    Far from being a stupid promise, Biden’s pledge has been a shrewd maneuver worthy of Machiavelli. Whomever in the Biden campaign came up with the idea is earning his or her keep, and then some. (Biden himself could not have thought of this on his own, but his eyes must have lit up when he realized it was a way to get Liz Warren and Kamala Harris to shut up and pay him some respect.)

    Trump condemned violent protesters in Minneapolis in a pair of tweets sent overnight, and said he could deploy the National Guard to “bring the City under control.”

    “These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen,” he wrote. “Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”

    Twitter Inc. placed a notice on the tweet and shielded it from view for breaking what the company said are its rules about glorifying violence.

    Not deliberate? How was it not deliberate?
     
    Like, why would a cop deliberately kill a man in front of somebody holding a camera? And why would he take 8 minutes to do it? This cop was obviously on some kind of power trip, but based on his personal arrest experience, he probably thought the 250 lbs bar bouncer was faking it. In his position, many officers might have thought the same thing, which explains why his three backup officers did nothing. Obviously the perp had an underlying health condition. And you forgot to ask Anonymous why he thought any riots were justified, given that they destroy your own community. But why should this fuck up be singled out for blowing up America? Here's an equally enraging incident that happened not too long ago in Sonoma Cty, CA. Cops forgot to take a recovered vehicle off the hot sheet and violently arrested the owner, who had asthma. They suffocated him in a choke hold. But since everyone was white in this incident, it all fucking went down the memory hole. The killer cop got fired but not prosecuted. By the way, the reason we have paramilitary cops in the first place are the obscene levels of violent criminality in black communities.

    Agreed. I voted for Trump and intend to vote for him again, but at this point I think he has been a disaster, because: 1) he has mostly failed to come through on the promises that got him elected; and 2) he has hopelessly alienated many voters (including some lukewarm liberals) who are not unsympathetic to our side on the issues and could have been won over.

    2) is worse. Most people don’t join parties based on a careful analysis of the issues; they join a team based on its brand and how it makes them feel, and once they solidly identify with a team it’s hard to make them switch. Trump’s hideous personal issues have provoked an undetermined but probably substantial number of fence-sitters into committing to the Democrats, and I think this is going to cost the Republicans dearly, not only in this election but many to come.

    At this point, hard as it is to say, I think it probably would have been better if Hillary had won in 2016. Her policies would have been terrible, but they would have been largely blocked by a Republican Congress. And instead of Trump poisoning the Republican brand it would have been Hillary poisoning the Democrats, setting them up for a fall in 2020. The Republican candidate might have been the usual Conservationism Inc. droid, but there is at least a chance that the example of Trump’s winning the nomination in 2016 might have inspired a populist revolt, and we’d end up with someone decent. Not the best scenario admittedly (the best would have been Trump turning out to have a brain!), but probably better than what we are looking at now. I’m really hoping I’m wrong, but I’m terrified that the Democrats are not only going to win the Presidency but control of both houses of Congress in November, and then the floodgates will open!

    A few thoughts:

    Re: rioters taking over a police station. This was ordered by higher ups. One big problem is that if police start shooting rioters first, before getting shot at themselves, or seriously taken down and captured, then they will be seen as starting a one way massacre. Shooting unarmed civilians, no matter what they do, is nearly always seen as a bad idea. Politically, morally.

    You can retreat or use water cannons, etc. No idea why they abandoned their station.

    Re: the death. No one seems to be waiting for an autopsy. It seems highly likely that the arrested subject probably had some major health problem, Asthma, obesity, COPD, heart blockage. This doesn't disappear the cops over reaction during the arrest, using knee on neck, ignoring worsening situation. But for all we know this guy was high/drunk or at least seriously in poor health. Of course that's why cops need to behave less macho.

    As to result, someone may want to investigate, post election, how these Minn. precincts voted (Dem versus Rep) in the fall elections. Especially versus 2016. Or how riot impacted areas are affected. Do they become more "progressive" and crime tolerant, or less? The people who actually live/work there and lose property to looters, arson, etc. Does antifa actually help Dems anywhere?

    "Klobuchar is the reasonable safe choice for Biden -- stuck with his stupid promise to run with a gyno-American."

    Like AD, I thought Biden's pledge was asinine. Why cut yourself off from potentially presidential running mates like U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, who is extremely liberal but manages to win statewide elections in Ohio? But Biden and his campaign knew something the rest of us didn't: the Tara Reade story was about to break, at least in fringe outlets like The Intercept and Vox. Eventually, it would find its way into the MSM, if only by indirection ("Why Are The New York Times and The Washington Post Ignoring The Tara Reade Allegations?").

    Having Biden promise to name a woman as his running mate did two things at once: (1) it got out in front of the Reade story, and made a positive impression on women voters (and, perhaps of equal value, women journalists) before most people had ever heard Tara Reade's name; (2) it froze the female politicians who would otherwise have been clamoring for Biden to withdraw from the race (remember Al Franken?), and turned them into some of Joe's most fervent defenders.

    Far from being a stupid promise, Biden's pledge has been a shrewd maneuver worthy of Machiavelli. Whomever in the Biden campaign came up with the idea is earning his or her keep, and then some. (Biden himself could not have thought of this on his own, but his eyes must have lit up when he realized it was a way to get Liz Warren and Kamala Harris to shut up and pay him some respect.)

    Weird comment. I’ve lived in America 60+ and basically never heard this in the context you imply. People will point out that the slave trade was long ongoing European colonial thing not specifically an American thing. (I’d point out it has been a human universal since the neolithic. People with power use slavery or serfdom or taxation to live large on other people’s labor.) But Americans understand that their ancestors were precisely some the European people involved. Nothing anti-Brit about it. And no one blames the Brits for killing native Americans. Any of that before 1776 was precisely the Brits–and others–who became Americans.

    Almost’s “limecucks” comment was precisely on the other side of the ledger. That the Brits have lost their self-confidence, their pride, their will and are letting themselves get steamrolled by this sort of “slavery!” “colonialism!” b.s.

    I don't mean this in a disrespectful way but Minneapolis happens in the banlieu every day. America is still a near-paradise as long as you do not live in the parts that are (quick check) literally on fire. Western Europe is garbage for many important reasons, on top of the fact that they are increasingly filling up their smaller space with the firiest one. There were some holdouts who used to talk about how rural England or the French countryside have none of the problems of Paris or London, but that was never true, because most of the problems with Europe are laws or bad rulers. Now they cannot even say that they have escaped diversity. America is so big and rich that even when they are openly sacrificing babies it will be practical to live outside the system.

    It would be stupid for the left to completely censor far-right thought online. If anything, social media has restrained the far right, since it allows 99.999% of them to LARP online, with the only ones meeting in-person being people attending intellectual conferences or low IQ losers who broadcast their intentions on their t-shirts. Not exactly threats to the establishment.

    Remove all far right talk online, 90% of conservatives will go along with it, including aforementioned LARPER’s, intellectuals and forensic club types. The other 10% will begin to quietly meet in-person and learn how to organize. It’s this later group that leads to action. And for good or bad, some societal persecution is needed to filter out the true believers.

    This is probably overdue anyway, since the intellectual framework for the nationalist right has been spelled out fairly clearly at this point, with everything else being leisure-time keystrokes. Also, the far right probably needs to stop voluntarily compiling evidence dossiers for the cops, so a social media blackout is probably for the best, even if the LARPERs, intellectuals and clout-chasers complain about being censored.

The anti-semitism slur got a lot of coverage, but I don't get the impression that was what hurt him. Labour is highly dependent on the Muslim vote and so Labour leaders making mildly anti-semitic comments is nothing new. It never stopped Ken Livingstone becoming Mayor of London. The Labour vote held up among the PC luvvies and in the heavily immigrant areas in London and the Midlands. They care about 'racism' and 'anti-semitism.'

    Corbyn was crushed in largely white areas of the North where tribal loyalties to the Labour Party are almost religious in intensity. I was amazed at some the seats Labour lost. I thought the people there would sacrifice their first-born rather than vote Tory. Most of those people have never met a Jew and don't give them a second thought.

I think it’s possible the cop just assumed this was yet another lie. When you hear enough of them, you start to tune them out. If blacks didn’t commit so much crime, the cop wouldn’t have become so jaded that he ignored the guy’s pleas.

    I know white Americans are proud of what their ancestors built. If I were a white American, I would be proud, too. I hate to say this, but your country is no longer viable. You hate each other too much. America will have to split into smaller units that are cohesive and put the interests of their own citizens first.
     
    Totally agree. Hopefully, this creates the conversation that needs to be had. I want nothing more than to live in a country with my own people and be ruled by those like myself, people who will establish laws and customs that comport with my tribe's sentiment. For the life of me I can't understand why this doesn't get more traction on the right. Is this not the obvious solution? We clearly aren't voting our way out of this because we don't have the votes anymore; half of our people are brainwashed to hate us and themselves; demographically, the situation worsens as our people die and mass immigration continues unabated (don't kid yourself, they'll never stop it). And we clearly aren't ever going to attract substantially more non-white votes, even with a progressive economic platform; see Bernie Sanders vs. Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden among black voters in South Carolina if you disagree. To say otherwise is to promote a pipe dream.

    Racial disparities are intractable and can only be ameliorated by taking ever more wealth and opportunities from whites. In order to sate the mob, we've discriminated against our own kind: we've promoted sundry conspiracy theories like "institutional bias" and "stereotype threat" to gloss over minority failures; we suffer endless two minutes of hate every election cycle now*; we pay blacks hundreds of billions of dollars in welfare and affirmative action per year; we've discriminated against our own kind in college admissions to admit lower-scoring blacks; we let them have television networks, movies, magazines, colleges, and graduation ceremonies all to their own while we can't even avoid having our pre-established, historical characters stolen and race swapped (black King Arthur / black Achilles) .... the list is endless.

    The results have been disastrous: a skyrocketing suicide rate, hopelessness and despair, the rise of fringe cults like Qanon. How long can this go on as this country diversifies by the day? Have you guys not studied what happened to the whites of Zimbabwe and South Africa? ... or Haiti? Hated racial minorities / market majorities have poor track records over the long term. That's the destiny your children face.

    I think many boomer conservatives have been brainwashed by decades of programing into a dogma of DR3 that won't allow them to process contrary facts. A lot of Millennials, on the other hand, have been indoctrinated by edgy YouTubers and paid gatekeepers like Ben Shapiro to waste their time barking at safe issues such as "muh communism" (a long dead philosophy even the Chinese have abandoned -- thus their national anthem law and nationalism 101 university courses). Result: nothing gets done.

    We may also have to face the possibility that there is no solution within the current system. Maybe whites just aren't smart, selfless, or cohesive enough to fight back. In that case, whites (especially men) should be seeking opportunities to abandon ship before it goes down. Maybe we could go back to Europe or seek employment in Asia or move to a third country that, while liberal, isn't a complete dystopian nightmare -- Australia, New Zealand, Canada?

    This is an issue that more on the right should be talking about instead of avoiding or dismissing with hollow arguments. Coulter, Brimelow, Sailer, Buchanan and others should give this topic serious examination. Everyone needs a backup plan. What's yours? Are they really going to sit around and do nothing until the day (coming soon) when there is a knock on the door and a loud command to come out with their hands up in the air? Or maybe they would rather just complain on the internet because they are older and would like to die in peace.

    A fitting end. Rome gave up that way, too.

    Weren't most of the Revolutionary War figures older people? Both George Washington and Benjamin Franklin died before the year 1800. It's sort of strange how this turned out. The country was founded by old guys and now that same demographic is content to let it burn because it's to much of a hassle to do anything about it.

    "Klobuchar is the reasonable safe choice for Biden -- stuck with his stupid promise to run with a gyno-American."

    Like AD, I thought Biden's pledge was asinine. Why cut yourself off from potentially presidential running mates like U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, who is extremely liberal but manages to win statewide elections in Ohio? But Biden and his campaign knew something the rest of us didn't: the Tara Reade story was about to break, at least in fringe outlets like The Intercept and Vox. Eventually, it would find its way into the MSM, if only by indirection ("Why Are The New York Times and The Washington Post Ignoring The Tara Reade Allegations?").

    Having Biden promise to name a woman as his running mate did two things at once: (1) it got out in front of the Reade story, and made a positive impression on women voters (and, perhaps of equal value, women journalists) before most people had ever heard Tara Reade's name; (2) it froze the female politicians who would otherwise have been clamoring for Biden to withdraw from the race (remember Al Franken?), and turned them into some of Joe's most fervent defenders.

    Far from being a stupid promise, Biden's pledge has been a shrewd maneuver worthy of Machiavelli. Whomever in the Biden campaign came up with the idea is earning his or her keep, and then some. (Biden himself could not have thought of this on his own, but his eyes must have lit up when he realized it was a way to get Liz Warren and Kamala Harris to shut up and pay him some respect.)

    Abandoning police stations to rioters seems like a terrible decision.

     

    Exactly.

    Last year the HK protests, which initially were mostly peaceful and had widespread support, turned into riots in one fateful night, i.e. July 1st, when organized, antifa-style thugs broke into the HK Legislative Council building, and trashed the very chamber in which Legco deliberates.

    Hundreds of rioters were wandering around inside the building for hours, smashing the hell out of everything, right on live TV. The cops could have sealed off the doors and hauled in the whole lot, but they were called off.

    It was the equivalent of the Capitol Building in Washington DC being overrun and vandalized, and then there being no consequences whatever for nearly all of those involved.

    This pusillanimous signal opened the door to eight months of relentless rioting and destruction, which was cooled off only by the outbreak of COVID-19.

    The moral of the story: sometimes rioting doesn't just 'burn out' on its own. The MSP police are sending a terrible signal tonight; let's hope the bill to be paid for it isn't too steep.

    Hopefully, he'll get a fair trial. The context for this killing is, of course, that American police kill a lot of citizens every year. The problem is obscured to some extent by focusing on black lives. I think they are killed in greater proportion but there are plenty of other ethnicities, and there are lots of stories about police being called to aid somebody with a medical or a mental problem, and then that somebody ending up dead.

    1200 deaths by cop every year is not good. In Germany, the annual figure is usually near zero. Britain too.

    I am no expert and I'm not American, but in English law I think the officer would have a hard time pleading provocation in an action which looks deliberate and cold blooded.

    But be of good cheer. One collateral casualty of this event is Biden's proposed VP, Amy Klobuchar. She had the opportunity to prosecute this officer for the killing of a civilian over a decade ago and passed on the opportunity.

    BTW, while these are feminine characteristics, this applies to men as well. Jimmy Carter turned out to be prone to a sort of schoolmarmish hectoring and Americans got sick of it quickly and voted him out. (I voted for him in ’76 and by late ’77 was sick of the guy.

    The issue is the nature of the threat and how Whites react and how Blacks turn out.

    Mostly random snipers plus a few riots in Southern states leads swing White voters in the Rust Belt to see themselves shot dead since there is demand by the snipers. No elect this Dem snipers stop shooting.

    By contrast large scale Northern or Western riots means demands and massive Black turnout. Plus displays of dominance work on White Women who go with whoever swaggers most in the street in front of cameras.

    Whites don't fight. We are not capable of it, and have not been for more than a hundred years. Abject surrender is always the case when confronted by non Whites particularly Africans.

    Look at Twitter. They are likely to ban Trump. While allowing Ice Cube to call for killing White people. Already White actresses are calling for race War and of course siding with Blacks.

    Suppose this rolls into suburbs and people are burned out or burned alive? Trump is removed by the FBI and they just install Stacey Abrams. With it being legal for Blacks to rob and kill Whites and illegal for Whites to defend themselves.

    Agreed. I voted for Trump and intend to vote for him again, but at this point I think he has been a disaster, because: 1) he has mostly failed to come through on the promises that got him elected; and 2) he has hopelessly alienated many voters (including some lukewarm liberals) who are not unsympathetic to our side on the issues and could have been won over.

    2) is worse. Most people don't join parties based on a careful analysis of the issues; they join a team based on its brand and how it makes them feel, and once they solidly identify with a team it's hard to make them switch. Trump's hideous personal issues have provoked an undetermined but probably substantial number of fence-sitters into committing to the Democrats, and I think this is going to cost the Republicans dearly, not only in this election but many to come.

    At this point, hard as it is to say, I think it probably would have been better if Hillary had won in 2016. Her policies would have been terrible, but they would have been largely blocked by a Republican Congress. And instead of Trump poisoning the Republican brand it would have been Hillary poisoning the Democrats, setting them up for a fall in 2020. The Republican candidate might have been the usual Conservationism Inc. droid, but there is at least a chance that the example of Trump's winning the nomination in 2016 might have inspired a populist revolt, and we'd end up with someone decent. Not the best scenario admittedly (the best would have been Trump turning out to have a brain!), but probably better than what we are looking at now. I'm really hoping I'm wrong, but I'm terrified that the Democrats are not only going to win the Presidency but control of both houses of Congress in November, and then the floodgates will open!

    The only way forward is, and has always been, co-opting the Republican Party. The issues Trump kinda sorta ran on -- jobs, immigration, & foreign involvement -- were powerful enough to do that, and in fact Trump to a degree has actually done it.

    It is sure looking like Tibet, East Turkestan, all the "nine dash line" islands, and Hong Kong are warm ups for Taiwan and beyond.

    They have started building military bases in Africa for what I assume are nine other than military reasons.

    Other than border dustups with Vietnam or bullying over uninhabited islets in the South China Sea I don’t anticipate China ever sending expeditionary forces overseas to install sino-friendly governments. It doesn’t seem to be in their nature to do so.
     
    Absence of noise is not necessarily absence of activity; the problem with the Americans is that they lack subtlety.

    What the Americans try to do with big, noisy guns, the Chinese do quietly (and much more successfully) with their chequebooks.

    View the doco Empire of Dust to see what the Chinese get up to overseas (or have a word with the Pakistanis).

    Chinese people are used to being by far and away the world's largest ethnic group. No one is going to swallow China. They can swallow us without trying. It behooves us to be extremely wary of a country which has twenty cities that are bigger than my whole country. The only Chinese I want to cosy up to are the Taiwanese (population 23 million). The CCP is working hard to create a homogeneous, cohesive superstate and one of the ways it is doing that is stirring up xenophobia to the outside world. Words are sometimes translated into actions. Apart from Zheng He's overblown treasure fleets that reached East Africa, China has always been a land power. In the age of oil-dependency, that is no longer an option. They are building a blue-water navy.

    Well apparently he did resist violently. That's why they won't show the redacted video portion IMO. But I agree that he was no longer dangerous and the cop's action certainly looks like murder. I would like to think that if I were at the scene I would have intervened more forcefully than the passersby who complained to the cops.

    I don't know how murder laws take into account provocations.

    Hopefully, he’ll get a fair trial. The context for this killing is, of course, that American police kill a lot of citizens every year. The problem is obscured to some extent by focusing on black lives. I think they are killed in greater proportion but there are plenty of other ethnicities, and there are lots of stories about police being called to aid somebody with a medical or a mental problem, and then that somebody ending up dead.

    1200 deaths by cop every year is not good. In Germany, the annual figure is usually near zero. Britain too.

    I am no expert and I’m not American, but in English law I think the officer would have a hard time pleading provocation in an action which looks deliberate and cold blooded.

    But be of good cheer. One collateral casualty of this event is Biden’s proposed VP, Amy Klobuchar. She had the opportunity to prosecute this officer for the killing of a civilian over a decade ago and passed on the opportunity.

    Amy Klobuchar... had the opportunity to prosecute this officer for the killing of a civilian over a decade ago and passed on the opportunity.

    Depending on the circumstances, that may be to her credit. Just like Hillary shouldn't have had to apologize for identifying a percentage of black criminals as "super-predators."

    Yep. Cold as fuck there.

    I was in Rochester, MN 25 years ago and it was 40 below zero Fahrenheit. Not sure what that is in Celsius. But it’s so cold you can’t have any skin exposed or it becomes frostbit.

    I live in NY where it sometimes (rarely) gets to zero. And that sucks. No idea how anyone can live in MN.

    Also -40 strangely enough.
