My FIL has two AR-15s and several handguns. He is worried about home invasion, which has never happened in his town, and being carjacked coming to visit us - we live in a diverse community close to Chicago, but have never had any issues with crime or violence. We do have many people of color in our community, but if…

Hypothetical question - lets say the engine or battery went kaflooey (not knocking quality, just hypothetically...) how hard would it be to put a regular small gas engine in it with additional required gear to convert to ‘normal gas car’?

Starred because you are so much more concise than I was.

If I were selling a car, I would do exactly that to demonstrate it was a good value.

You are not alone.

Get some ‘good stuff’ sprey foam insulation, the maximim-expansion kind, and spray it on the bricks.

Apparently she is currently a realtor who ‘used to work in the health care industry’.

Seconded.

I read your post as ‘dude you didn’t even get the highlight reel complete’. To be fair, he would still be writing this tomorrow night if he covered all the significant racist US milestones.

I was thinking more, if he gets sued, the lawsuit could go after their joint assets and she couldnt just divorce him, take half as a way to keep ‘her half’ from being subject to a civil suit.

If you are committed to a pricey ride like a Porsche, pay the $1,900 unless you secretly want the thing to fry so you can glory in wrenching and writing about it.

One wonders how many of these kinds of events it will take to convey the scope of the rot.

Amplify and elevate black voices. See and hear them. Do not center yourself or virtue signal. Call out racism when you hear it. Vote. If you dont like the candidates, run for office. A school board is a great place to start making a positive difference. If you are in a position to hire, take affirmative action to find…

Yah. I think the key is to write and post but not to center yourself (if you are white) in your post. Requires a lot of careful thought before writing and posting, but meeds to be done. I find myself reposting Michael Harriott stuff because he has taken the time to research and write articles covering race pretty…

The hair gives it away. This is Blaine.

I am not a lawyer, but I strongly suspect that if that is true, it will not work. They were married when he committed his crime, so any civil proceeding, and I hope there is a huge one, would likely apply to his assets at the time of the crime.

Hell, today you need go no further back than a few weeks to when an armed mob invaded the Michigan capital - then point out that the Minneapolis looters weren’t even armed... but for some reason the Michigan scofflaws were not gassed, shot or arrested... hmmm...

When I have had these discussions, I remain calm and say “If a non-cop was caught on video doing exactly the same thing, would they have been arrested already? The word you are looking for is ‘hell yes’ - there would be no wait.”
