Recently at the library where I work we had a younger black man get his phone stolen, and he was angry about it to the point of storming around threatening to get a gun and shoot people, decapitate the person who stole the phone with a knife, and other threats of death and grievous bodily harm. There were 4 security…

Somewhat different situation but I recall reading about a guy back in the 50s or 60s stood on his roof to watch the president playing golf and got instant attention from the secret service. The problem wasn’t that he was watching from his roof, it was that he didn’t have binoculars and so was using the scope on his…

“I’m really into history” in this context always means “I’m into the bits of history I can use to stoke my ego and justify my bigotries.”

My takeaway is that if you’re still using old cowboy statements about casual and extrajudicial use of the death penalty then maybe you need to reflect on the fact that the world has changed in the past 150 fucking years.

He’s framing it like people are going around trashing military graveyards or something, when in fact the “objects of remembrance” that are being trashed are only there so southern whites can remember when they could own slaves and how awesome that was.

Yeah, I wish they were spreading things out more, I and my wife both play and she commented this morning that her feelings are about half excitement and half exhaustion. My own feelings are pretty much “Meh” and a hope that the new raids will be doable with 4-6 players. I’ve given up on getting a Lugia because it just…

And if the “cop” did turn out to be an impersonator, they’d probably get a job offer from the local PD. “Wants to have authority over others for shady reasons, panicky, prone to discharge your firearm over imagined threats. Hell, you could be chief someday!”

A meeting of the Pulp Fiction reenactment society gone horribly wrong?

What do we all think the outcome would be if the worst happened and she was killed by some racist fuckstick?

“Our environmental study shows that there is an unacceptable level of money in the environment of our customer’s pockets.”

They are truly america’s greatest heroes.

I wish that kitten a long life living the dream of making humans say “Where the fuck is the cat?”

Back during the 2008 GOP convention they were all to happy to deride the protesters and support the police herding them into “Free speech zones” away from the entrance to the convention center. Then during the crap around the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge when the cops tried to set up the same kind of fenced in…

It’s all fun and games until one of the cars starts grinding pedestrians for the skins.

When you want to feed a bird of prey but you’re also really attached to being able to count to ten.

Exactly right. They’ll also fondle their guns and dream of fighting a second revolution while simultaneously cheering the fact that the military has been forced to develop sophisticated anti-insurgency tactics and weapons over the past 16 years. They’re too fucking stupid to connect the dots.

The hawk will come out of nowhere and make a snack of any bird who tries.

I like the improvised feeding station.

That wouldn’t qualify as a residential road around here, that’s more like what you see in trailer parks. No way you should be going more than 15 mph on that.
