Just to be extra-clear: the protester was carrying a legal firearm in an open-carry state, did not discharge the weapon, and is the only person being charged with a crime? Further, the organizers are supporting the shooter, their volunteer? This was a protest *against* scapegoating non-white folks?

To be clear: Protest organizers intentionally selected military veterans as safety volunteers, one spotted an armed protester (which is legal in Utah) and shot him, and ended up shooting/killing another protester + now the volunteer veteran is free, while the armed protester is booked for murder.

The Onion successfully parodied this back in March.

If, before this week, you had showed 10 East Coast journalists the picture and residential address of the recently murdered Melissa Hortman, and pretty much any Dem who's held statewide office in NY recently, and asked who had passed more leftish legislation, all 10 would guess wrong.

Yeah and the confusion is not just about whether NYC is liberal they are confused about class politics. The journalism class and wealthy professionals are the definition of conservative: they don’t want things to change. It’s young people and the less wealthy that want progress and change

i do think many new yorkers of a certain class (the journalism class) truly believe that because it's a one party D town, it must be the most liberal place in the country (both voters and electeds)

New York is like if you had lavish socialism but only if you promise to beat up black people

In 2020 their insane budget didn’t get as much overtime because of the fucking pandemic and they stopped doing traffic enforcement en masse because they are thugs who think the city owes them a living

My wife the veterinarian is a vegetarian out of animal welfare concerns, and perhaps because as a general rule it is a conflict of interest to have interest in eating one’s patients.
She's excited by lab grown meats! (And so am I!)
