Amazing how hard it is to write: “Police shoot at journalists.”

Notice there's TENS OF THOUSANDS of people on the streets in LA. Nobody's hurting each other. It's one big party — until the cops show up. Police are the outside agitators.

People ran pieces about how the discipline of the movement was actually proof of a disturbing and dangerous groupthink. We got whole columns of people complaining about having to speak with official spokesmen.

Democrats should be calling for the resignation of any and every general involved in staging what was no more than a campaign rally for Trump on the public dime. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-e...

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

besides newsom, i literally have no clue if a single other democrat has said anything about the president's ongoing war against multiple american cities + preemptive attempt to grab more power by taking control of the largest state's national guard without permission of its governor

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

they have no incentive to even google, because no one is checking them or questioning them or offering any pushback or holding them accountable in any way. it's a recipe for intellectual laziness.

Soulframe really encourages you to throw your primary weapon, and every time I throw a crit and one-shot an enemy I think of Lone Wolf and Cub

You open the manual for that weapon he’s holding and it will absolutely tell you not to point it at people like that. It’s only “less lethal” when handled properly. He might as well be holding a glock.

It’s designed to play into a delusional fantasy held by people who not only have never been to LA, but loudly and performatively refuse to visit them because of “the crime.” It’s for people who treat Escape from LA as a documentary.

CW Abuse If someone said, in a similarly unequal power situation, "she'd better have the house super clean when he comes home, or else she'll have provoked him" you'd probably toss that person out a fucking window

at this point if you see someone doing something weird and inflammatory in public they're almost certainly making content and screaming at them or getting confrontational is just giving them free youtube views and potentially setting yourself up for future harassment

public support for interracial marriage only broke 50 percent in the mid-1990s. when my parents were born it polled at 4 percent among white people, now it polls at 93 percent among white people.

Back when I was more of a little internet shithead, I used to infiltrate private forums for LEOs and first-responders, and my overwhelming takeaway was that cops, and to a lesser degree EMTs (the cops of medicine) are some of the biggest crybabies on the planet. Not being respected KILLS them.

It’s 2025. Jared Leto is starring in a Tron sequel, Kevin Spacey won an award at Cannes, Ezra Miller, Shia LaBoeuf, and James Franco all walked the Cannes red carpet, Garrison Keillor and Ryan Adams are touring, Louis CK won a Grammy… Tell me again that “cancel culture” exists

Tom Nichols should read this book called “The Death of Expertise” to help familiarize himself with why he might look silly when discussing the validity and integrity of protests despite lacking a background in civil rights history.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." Any other principle a conservative professes to believe is a lie, told in pursuit of the above.

I swear to god these posts are going to actually drive me insane. There is no 4D chess game being played here. No Machiavellian 'distract the masses' play. These people are fucking morons. Trump isn't Palpatine, he's fucking Jar Jar.

the guerillas who rose up to fight the genocide during the Guatemalan civil war, were just that, normal people. some had military training, but I am trying to get us all to recognize that a "hero" is simply an ordinary person willing to do the right thing

Los Angeles knows what a riot looks like. We have quite a bit of experience in that department, one of which I went through back in 1992. THIS IS NOT THAT. Not even close.

Cementing the case for how cool this place is. Every day, the worst people you know complain about it here. We've built an ecosystem that feckless Dem consultants and representatives whine about because they know the bullshit detector game here is strong.

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

During the BLM protests the right successfully conditioned a lot of people to believe that when cops cause chaos, it’s the protesters’ fault for exercising their rights. And more generally that protesting injustice is a problem.
