Knifes are also contextual. If you have ten guns trained on the guy, he’s forty feet away, he’s facing backwards while holding it loose away from the body and you STILL kill him.... well, the Albuquerque police would love to pin stripes on your sleeve. But that also makes you a coward. When it’s being swung, lunged or held “Anthony Perkins-style” it’s kill-or-be-killed time. Witnesses WILL take your side for doing what you have to do. If you have you literally crush and tear his balls off to make him drop it.... so fucking be it. Do it.
They rather do give a shit. Quite a lot actually and it does apply everywhere signatories engage in conflict.
Speaking of cops... https://twitter.com/passantino/status/1272942500630626304 Oh, there's more you say? It's as if some shitty people co-opted otherwise peaceful protests in order to stir up division. Whoda thunk it.
If you're laughing at that, you'll laugh even harder when you hear they wear Hawaiian shirts because "Big Luau" is code because it sounds like "Boogaloo."
Big Luau only sounds like Boogaloo with a sizable cock in your mouth. It must also be code for their initiation ceremony...featuring a sizable cock in your mouth.
doesn't surprise me. Extreme right wingers, and especially the crazy arm of the libertarian party, hates cops just as much as the people protesting. I think it's because a lot of them want to BE the cops.
Can you guys explain this to me? It seems it started troll-like in the way Flat Earth did, but what actually is it? I hear about these Militia-type dingdongs getting arrested with boxes of bullets and saying they are named after a jaunty piano dance melody. Is this a horseshoe effect of Antifa?
Welcome to the hell that is meme-derived-politics of 2020. Short answer: there was a 1984 movie called "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo". The internet has, for a while, used the phrase "Electric Boogaloo" as a joke to slap onto the end of hypothetical sequels, referencing this 80's film. Violent rednecks, at the weird intersection of Timothy McVeigh and Nyan Cat, began referring to a hypothetical uprising as "Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo." In time that was shortened to simply "The Boogaloo." And now the FBI has to type "Boogaloo" in a bunch of domestic terrorism reports. Because we're not a serious country anymore.
Your history is really bad. You can start by looking up "unlawful combatants" and a slew of other bullshit terms the US has made up to excuse violating the Geneva Conventions in every war we've fought in since signing it. It's like banning chemical weapons and then claiming using agent orange is fine because we decided "It's totally not a chemical weapon." or saying it's not torture, just "Enhanced Interrogation." Yeah, the signatories really care about these international treaties... when it's not a war they're fighting in. For fuck's sake dude, there's literally declassified memos of the top brass tossing around ideas for what reasons they want to come up with to justify why the Geneva Conventions magically don't apply in various situations.
It’s not just rednecks, which is the weirdest part. It’s a strange intersection of far-right extremists and anti-government anarchists; where the horse-theory of the political spectrum becomes reality. They couldn’t have picked a sillier name.
Why are these annoying people screaming and cheering as if they just accomplished what they are tearing this statue down for? I’d love to hear American TiB members opinion on this new “fad”:
Well it is in the way that Antifa is. There’s social media-based organization to it, which seems to be just enough.
violent rednecks who are actively hoping for another Civil War as an excuse to use their guns. Never mind that they're so fucking stupid and generally out of shape that the first time they got shot at, they'd run so far in the other direction they'd collapse of a heart attack. I know quite a few of people who would fall under that general umbrella, sadly (anyone surprised), and among them the "conventional wisdom" is to own at least 1000 rounds of ammo in every caliber you own, preferably 2-3k rounds. The "conventional wisdom" is also to stick to owning only NATO calibers, because those are what would be available in the hypothetical war when you kill the bad guys aka our own government and take their shit.... I stick to NATO calibers, generally, but only because that's what's cheap and what they'll always make guns for. Those right wing violent redneck types are fucking scary. The SPLC has identified 623 active anti-government groups as of 2016. One would only logically assume that number has risen since then. The ADL has some good info on the militia movement as well. Of things that should realistically scare you, a domestic terrorism incident by some redneck extremist and/or one of those redneck extremist militia groups should absolutely top the list.
Unfuckingbelievable. It's an older story and it's good that it looks like she'll finally be getting her pension back, but if that doesn't say everything about what is wrong with the police mentality in this country I don't know what does.
I don't even get what the other side of that story is supposed to be. "So, I was choking this guy out, and then my fellow officer just went crazy and attacked me. No idea why."
Looks like the Miami police murdered somebody in their custody — while he was protected under the Baker Act. Like I said, never bruise the ego of a killer: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article243519612.html
I think it's a bit of a leap to say they murdered a man in custody. Sure the investigation may be bullshit and they could have, but saying they murdered him in custody is stretching. "Although Fernandez was not in police custody when he died, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement will review the case “in order to be completely transparent,” according to Miami Beach police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez."
