Did it land in a cup?
Did it land in a cup?
What did they throw? And what kind of glass is that? I've never seen a window where single glazing is on the inside shatter like that.
The rock or whatever it is seems to take an age to get to the window yet it's powerful enough to do that? At that distance, up 3 storeys and across a park that things travelling at 15mph max. How is it doing that?
That Spike Lee interview on the BBC news was good. Good to hear someone actually say this sort of thing on tv and it be on the 6pm news.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/enter...-arts-52890620"The land was stolen from native people, genocide was committed against the native people, and ancestors were stolen from Africa and brought here to work," he said.
"So the foundation of the United States of America is genocide, stealing land and slavery."
Don’t think Spike Lee is the messenger I want but I’ll take it.
Ya, caught my ear on 10pm news, too.
I see tear gas is in full flow in Paris now. Apparently protesting some other geezer called Adama Traore (do they have any other names available in Mali?). Just glad there isn't an imminent economic crash or else I reckon things could have got tasty on a global level.
Why does the bullshit cultural foundation narrative cut off before they ended slavery and defeated twentieth century totalitarianism (which the genociding was the antecedent to)? And then you get into what historical traumas do to the victim points differentials on Jews and Asians, let alone the poor cunt indigenous fellas who would swap their third world conditions for a few police killings any day of the week.
You’re seething.
It's more of a gentle simmer, but the bad history is annoying.
You’re the kind of person who suddenly cares about the plight of indigenous people only when it can be used to minimize that of blacks. It’s not some bizarre competition, and most people aware of the historical legacy of slavery are also aware of the genocide of native Americans (see: Spike Lee).
People are bringing up the (immense) contribution of black people to American culture because it stands in such marked contrast to the position of black people in American society. It’s a pretty simple point.
I don't suddenly care about the plight of the dear old Red Indians. I don't care at all. I'm using them as an easy way of showing how illogical that particular narrative is when you take it beyond its pointlessly ahistorical parameters.
The expansion into 'the new world' (with all the attendant eradication of indigenous types) and slavery does often feel a bit analogous to football only starting in 1991 or whatever it was. There was nothing noteworthy prior to these events in the entirety of human history. Everything stems from there.
Easy there big fella.
At times like this you realise how much the Civil Rights movement was lightning in a bottle. Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, etc all being at the right time. I can't think of any strong black leaders on that level and America suffers badly for it.
Obama if he wasnt comprimised by Wall Street and Tech.
Come on. You're assuming you would know who any of those guys were in the 60s. There are probably numerous black leaders but you don't pay attention to US politics that closely.
Nina Turner is one she is Bernie's no 2.
Even in his post-President days, he's so peripheral. The more time goes on, I like him less and less.
Him not backing Bernie somes him up.
Neo-Liberal scum!

Failed State
Long live Mao!!
That's certainly one way to achieve herd immunity.
Nobody's in control of any of that. Christ.
It's interesting, and as a cynical person I'm finding it all a bit hysterical (religious mentalism is a much better catch-all cultural explanation of America than slavery) and think it will probably prove to be counter-productive. That's about it. That's the 'side' I'm on.
Oh, Trump was inspecting the bunker.
thread on mentalism^
Cruel Vulgarian's going to be the title of my next metal album. Also Trudeau using the phrase, "Racialised Canadians" sounded very, very off.

It's more so the evangelical mindset than that tenuous dot-to-dot, but it runs right through their history and how they approach the rest of the world. What works there works everywhere, because why wouldn't it? You're covered for bombing democracy into goat shaggers right the way up to the universalist, quasi-religious idiocy you're currently seeing in defence of all this.
Floyd flying soft for the majority of the shoot. Cancel the protest.
Maybe that first autopsy was right.
Chauvin's has his charges upped and the three others are being charged with third degree murder.
Took them long enough.
Doesn't that mean he wanted to kill him rather than just not caring if he did? They might be reaching with that one.
I think they're going with that.A second situation that constitutes second-degree murder is where the perpetrator intends only to cause serious bodily harm but knows that death could result from the act.
I see. Even that though, provided it was an approved/taught restraint technique, it seems quite difficult to prove anything other than indifference. We could really use @Bartholomert and a qualified legal opinion.
On the definition you've posted he could say he didn't intend to cause serious bodily harm because he was just restraining him as taught.
He left his knee on him for over 2 minutes after one of the other officers couldn't find a pulse.
If he didn't want him dead he could have gotten off him and then administered CPR (or instructed someone else).
Maybe. But they might end up blowing it.
We did it boys. Well, I did it with taking a knee at 6pm and my relentless sharing of tweets on whatsapp but I couldn't have done it without the support and love of all my fans. Big respect.
Have it, Lewis.
I'm pretty sure that knee restraint was banned but you know, Lewis is probably right.

Step aside, crossbow man.
Okay not banned but only should be used in times of restraint in that state. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ll/5274334002/

They are absolutely broken.
