Won't be any riots in this downpour.
Hope y'all get to see some video of the Houston P.D. corralling, shutting down and shunting away would-be rioters, yesterday afternoon.
The HPD had their moves down cold. Well rehearsed, well practiced and always, a couple steps ahead of the riotards.
Houston's Mayor and Chief did the only right thing they could've done, and it worked.
The let the Police Department DO it's Police Department thing.
And now, Houston can enjoy it's well deserved part in the Space-X success.

Again, they do not like the space program in any way. Its good copy, but not as good as riots, and it encourages people to look outside themselves and think of greater things, not tranny bathrooms and intersectionality. It unites rather than divides. It uplifts and encourages rather than upsets and angers.
To me the only legit criticism of Musk is that he's awfully fond of lapping up government cash.

And yet there it is. Completely dominates EV industry. Highest valued auto company in the world (current share price is $835 and a market cap of over $150B. By way of comparison, you can get a share of Ford for under $6 and a market cap of $22B. ).
NASA astronauts rode in Tesla X's to another Musk product that took them to space while landing the first stage on a tail of fire the way that God and Robert A. Heinlein intended.

Again, they do not like the space program in any way.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 31, 2020 12:35 PM
Of course they don't. It has only contributed to numerous things we use in our every day life that we all take for granted.
Hell, where do all the people with their heads buried in their cell phones think their ability to use a cell phone comes from... the space program putting satellites in space.
Ironically, one could say the space program is partially responsible for the riots, as they don't happen if we don't have the ability to record and post video with our cell phones thanks to the satellites currently in space and the technology developed in the space program.
Inventions we use every day that were actually created for space exploration

Looks like MN governor's *daughter* was getting the message out to rioters that the National Guard could not get in place in time to stop the night's festivities. Just like (former DNC chairman) VA Sen. Kane's son, who has previously been prosecuted for Antifa activities Is she one of those "white supremacists" her dad and the mayor were whining about?

I was personally very excited to see the launch, though i had to see it after the fact. I told my kids the importance of having the USA send astronauts into space instead of hitching rides on old soviet rockets. I got their attention for about 10 seconds before they went back to their minecraft game.
I then showed them clips of the Space Shuttle launches and the Saturn 5. That got them a little more excited. Finally my young son says, "It'd be cool to be an astronaut!"
It's little moments like these that give me hope, because everything online is vying for my kids' limited attention span.
It made me remember when my dad had me watch the first shuttle launch with him back when Columbia took flight in the early 80s. Wanted to be an astronaut from that point forward.
Of course, that didn't happen, but if NASA wants a 43 year old dude who can shoot really well and has a minor dad bod, I'm all in.
And if not me, maybe my kid one day?
Anyway, long tangent. Glad we made sent guys back up into the next frontier.

Every story about the riots is one lie after another. Yeah, I know the MFM does that every day but to show the pictures of the destruction and still try to sell it as peaceful protests is a beyond a joke. Time to label the MFM as a terrorist organization

So far. But compulsory electric vehicles are on the table. Moreover, yes, we have all been forced to pay for them, via taxes. The same is true of solar installations, both by utility rates and taxes.
In both cases, it is a transfer of wealth from the have-nots, to the haves. Curiously, 'Liberals' feel good about it.

How much money does G "Too Big to Fail" M get from the federal government?
How much does Ford get each year to sell vehicles to the government?
If we're going to use the word "grift" to describe companies that get government cash, then everyone is grifting.
I don't think there's anything Musk does to single himself out, other than being a recognizable personality, whereas the grifters in Ford, GM and so many other "American" companies are nameless and faceless.

Ah, and there's the trickery. Manufacturers ARE forced at gunpoint to sell them.
"By the 2025 model year, automakers that sell vehicles in California will have to make 15.4 percent of them ZEV....
The "ZEV regions" are California, Connecticut, D.C., Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont. Because they account for nearly a third of the nation's annual new-car sales, they are a force the auto industry cannot ignore...
The ZEV mandate was designed to work with federal fuel-efficiency rules so automakers wouldn't have conflicting regulations to deal with. The federal rules, called the National Plan..."

Now, let's see which on the Left goes out and defends ANTIFA. Any democrat who does so actively will get a Scarlet Letter to the forehead. It's long overdue, but, also, a solid political move. They are indefensible and just the act forces the media to defend them...which can only be done by obfuscation. Unfortunately, there is that pesky alternative media. Interestingly, social media is currently under the microscope for their own "obfuscation."

And no designated terrorist group has anything to do with much of the public so dumbed down that enough of it can listen to the idiotic lies of the "press" on all this without rebelling against it or putting it out of business.

There wasn't even any reason for protests. EVERYONE but a few extremely hateful people was angry and demanded justice. What are they hoping to accomplish with protests? The guy was immediately punished by the police and was eventually arrested and jailed in just a few days.

It doesn't. I mean I get why they rousted him pretty hard, he was a felon for violent crime and on parole. But that does not explain why they had a pacified and restrained man who showed zero signs of resistance on the ground and why that cop had his knee on the man's neck, against training in ever police force I know of. It doesn't explain why the other cops did nothing to stop it and just kept people away so they couldn't help out the man.

Note, other Cops just stood around, and did nothing. On the Take?
Went to far due to health issues.

Women are generally pleased when you finish, instead of being relieved when you finish
It's not considered perverse if you do it while the neighbors watch
Women will gladly let you do it once week, in fact they'll ask you for it
You can do it in the morning, even if you haven't brushed your teeth yet

They don't have to be, but unlike hopeful TV portrayals, its not safe or smart to question or doubt your partner or fellow cops on the job in front of others. It encourages the crowd to join in, it shows weakness, it hurts solidarity, etc. They don't have to be in on anything other than wearing a badge and feeling part of a put-upon group in a dangerous situation.
That's no excuse, of course, but it does explain the psychology of why they would tend to worry more about the crowd than what their fellow officer is doing.

After 9/11, obama bin laden immediately took responsibility. He bragged about. He even shared a few details because he was proud of his hijackers.
But that didn't stop many people (to this day) from saying it was Bush, it was an inside job, and, of course, the Jews.
As frustrating as it is, the fascist terrorist wing of the Democrat party, "antifa," can do whatever it wants and they won't be blamed for it. Indeed, we'll be blamed. Israel will be blamed. The president will be blamed. Fake News controls The Narrative. That's the way it is.

The Left can't sell their ideas, because their ideas suck and are extremely divisive. So they have two other pillars in their strategy:
- Defame and personally destroy their opponents
- Terrorize and exhaust the public
Trump has shown how to fight the first pillar. They're ramping up the second, after getting *years* of good, consequence-free practice in places like Portland.

I want that because that will actually shut them down, but mostly because it may expose their government partners.
For instance, we know for a fact that the ones (Friends of Democracy) in the B'more imbroglio were coordinating tactics with the police department, and I think we can be sure that city hall was aware of that fact, and probably has their own direct point of contact with the group.
I'm betting that holds true in most major cities. I want that exposed. Not that government people can be arrested for anything very serious. But it would be good to get it out there.

Just bought my son a Remington 1100 competition for Christmas. It cost $1,079 and is pretty heavy. I don't know how much the non-comp model costs. I prefer my Mossberg 500 pump. It cost me $329 about 4 years ago. Both guns hold 6 shells. They make a Mossberg 500 tactical/home defense model that holds 12 I think? Having your barrel weighted down with those extra shells can affect your aim though.
I shoot with a bunch of guys who have Remmington 870s and they are good guns too. They all like the location of the my 500's action release and the safety. The load gate on the 870 is a bit of a finger pincher too.
I think the reason they still sell pumps is that you can reload them really quick.

30 years. Its time I cleared up what happened in the Floyd case. What
the cop was doing is a carotid sinus choke. It does not cut off the
blood to the brain. What it does, is trick the brain into thinking the
blood pressure has suddenly spiked - the brain slows down the heart in
an attempt to reduce the blood pressure. Because the blood pressure is
not actually high the brain passes out because of the decreased blood
supply from the slowed down heart. If you keep the choke on for minutes -
as was done here - the heart can slow down so much that it loses its
ability to beat regularly, and the person dies.
Having experienced this choke it does feel like you can't breathe.

I figured it was either his carotid arteries or his carotid sinus that were being constricted. Thus the strangulation that causes heart symptoms rather than asphyxia.

Antifa *way* predates Occupy Wall St. Antifa were the internationalist commies fighting the nationalist commies in Europe before WWII. It has survived since then, and the goal hasn't changed: install international communism.
As for when our hoodlums took up the banner, and why, and how much the international group is actually involved, I don't know. But the tactics, the uniform they wear, the active collaboration with friendly local political leaders, the shows-of-force, the subversion, all of it are on-message and consistent with Antifa in Europe.
The Antifa gangsters are huge problem and very powerful in W. Europe, and are working on replicating that here. If it works, everywhere becomes Portland.

They've had the name for a long time, going back to the German commies that lost to the nazis for control. That's why they insist that anyone that opposes them is a nazi.

The way I saw it put here is that Antifa sends in the "shepherds" to rile up and unleash the local "sheep." They fly and bus in the organizers and shot-callers, local coordinators, people to post bail and run ad-hoc cells when they pop off, and then use the locals for manpower.
No one looting is from out of town - too hard to move the goods. But the people calling the shots are probably being brought in to coordinate and lead.

Hey, maybe we should also see if the Soros-funded AGs and DAs in these blue cities/states are funded by the same people/organizations that fund Antifa?

EVERY offense is ultimately a capital offense if one is defiant
enough in not complying. That said, Flynn looked fairly compliant most
of the one video I saw.

Counterfeit bills account for approximately 1 out of every $10,000 in the money supply. Counterfeit $20s are the most prevalent denomination. Law of averages says most adults have had a bogus 20 pass through their hands. Assuming that Floyd did pass on a bogus 20, there is no evidence that it would have been a crime since he likely would not have known that it was bogus.

He was handcuffed, when they tried to get him in police car , he struggled etc. "intentionally" fell down(?)
then they tried to get him in a vehicle, he went to ground (again?) , they tried to restrain, knee on back etc.
then we have examiners report
that is what we have. so far.

He died on the street with Chauvin's knee on his neck. The EMTs did not even attempt to revive him.

Sir, whatever travelling/competing he did was probably in 70's.
We've never talked about that.
I studied under him some but not nearly as much as I'd have liked. He won't promote to Dan grade unless you're there in all four.
My "formative" years, and I didn't start till I was 26, were in Indy.
Mr Keeney was running state tourney circuit.
Senior student is fairly well known.

I agree with you that there can be coordinated action sometimes without a central coordinator. It's called "working towards the Fuehrer." There is no evidence that Hitler was even aware of the Holocaust, but the SS leaders who organized it at the Wannsee Conference believed that they were acting under his authority. Lois Lerner did what she did, probably without any coordination with anyone. I'm familiar with the energy sector, and the Obama Office of the Comptroller of the Currency marked down loans that banks made to oil and gas companies without regard to usual creditworthiness criteria. Was that directed from the White House? Doubtful that the WH was even aware, but I have no doubt that the bank regulators thought they were acting in accordance with the President's wishes.
These Antifa strikes were just too well-organized to be spontaneous, though.

Good for you, thathalfrican!
Get some good stand up fighting training too.
I called how Joyce Gracie would lose his first match well before it happened.
BTW- I ended up making Nidan from another local instructor who thought it was a crime I didn't have the rank to promote someone to 1st Dan with my knowledge base.
The judo etc instructor i spoke of said he would happily sign the certificate as a witness based on my stand up skills and what I've picked up from him over the years.

Instead of that I played football. I wish I did both but couldn't.
Anyway I have a stand up base that's muscle memory. at some point I'm going back to get my black belt.

They, uh, got him out of his own car, which had about the same space. Obviously THAT didn't trouble him.
The Atkinson video showed the steps that led from his car to being on the street. He looked like he was getting extremely upset, not violent per se, though somewhat resistant.

Stage coaches are heavy and when moving over unpaved roads, can form ruts in the mud.
Next coach driver comes along, and he knows that if he follows unbroken ruts left by the first guy, he probably will be safe from pots holes that might break an axle; but, his coach is heavy and he presses the rut a little deeper.
Time goes on. And the ruts are so deep that you will break an axle trying to jump out of one, so they tell new stage coach drivers "Choose your ruts carefully because you'll be in them for many a mile."
If George Floyd had directed his life away from drugs (the toxicology report) and crime (the money laundering) he would have never been caught up in a situation that very often - for people both black and white - spirals completely out of control.
Don't start none, Won't be none, does not just apply to the flashpoint we see at the end. It also applies to each choice we made that got us there.
Did George Floyd deserve to die? Hell no.
Did George Floyd pick an intelligent life path? Hell no, either.
So contrast say with Dr. King. We abhor the assassination of Dr. King because we believe as Americans that we all have a right to speak our mind. {You can point out that there are people who are glad he's dead because they didn't like what he had to say. Not disputing that. And you can point out the killing was not at the hands of the State. Not disputing that either.}
Now am I going to call up the Floyd family and jeer at them, no. I wish it had happened differently. I really do wish that somewhere in the world there was a clue bat 'cause then we could stop people from doing stupid shit! But am I really shook up about it. No.
To me this falls under Stupid game, Stupid prizes.
As best I can tell, to you this falls under Dying While Black. I don't think we'll come to a 100% agreement.
Ah well.

I never once brought up race. I dont think him being black had anything to do with his death. The heavy handedness of the cops did.
The man was cuffed on the ground and had nowhere to go. Life choices good or bad, this should never happen to a citizen in this country.

The Iran Deal was Barack Obama's Moon-Shot.
Rescuing the Mullahs with billions in cash, sanctions-relief funding, bank-laundering,diplomatic recognition, uranium, no verification self-inspection, Russian anti-aircraft weapons to target American pilots and permission to build nuclear ICBMs was the singular reason Obama ran for president in the first place.
And of course, keeping their knee on the neck of the beautiful Iranian people. The Mullahs do to their people what Officer Chauvin did to George Lloyd every day--and Obama helped them do it.
Crippling our space program was just a bonus.

At this point, it looks like the cop moved *well* past the point of responsible policing, and Floyd died. That is, legally, resolvable, even to the culpability of the police department.
The riots are another matter altogether. To use the death of Floyd as a justification for overt, destructive lawlessness is BS.

And I should be able to work a job and not fear for my life but somehow that doesn't apply to after hours convenience store clerks.

George Floyd choose to hope that he could skim the surface of drugs and crime and not have bad things happen to him. And given that many petty thugs do just that, George Floyd probably thought he should be able to get away with it too.

A single bill in a wallet of other bills, yes.
Usually the people that they grab are the ones that bring a single large denomination to the store manager like a $50 or $100 to break it before they go shopping, since they know the cashiers won't take it.
In the casino, the people will buy chips from different windows at different times but pass $5 or $10s - even $1s - each time.
And yes, these are all pathetically small timers compared to Iran and North Korea, but these are usually the counterfeiters that get caught.
