Tonio is fine, really. But I don’t know what the hell happened. We’ll be back to your regularly scheduled dumpster fire next week.

Why can’t you just back the blue, bigot?

The shooter who killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday reportedly barricaded himself inside as police waited outside for 40 minutes.
Cops are useless apparently. But you still should have a gun
subjectcitizen. And is it really too much to ask to defend children the way we defend banks and politicians?I suppose it is a good thing that the perp didn’t desire to continue wondering the school after the first classroom. He was probably expecting the cops to, idk, do their job.
Does anyone remember the original story?
From what I remember, the kid killed his grandmother, drove to the school and crashed his car, had a shootout with cops outside the school, then went in the school and shot 14 children, then a Border patrol agent charged in without waiting for backup and neutralized the murderer.
Grandma ain’t dead.
Tough gal. I’m surprised just the sight of an AR15 didn’t kill her. Those things are deadliest.
It was 14 then 19. How do you miss counting five dead bodies?
They forgot to count the kids that were killed by the cops’ stray bullets (wild speculation only).
Perhaps the last five died in the hospital.
Maybe. Did they report five injured?
I read some number (it was more than five) were transported to the hospital.
OK
Does anyone remember the original story?
Yes. Every school shooting follows the same pattern:
– The government opens a school
– The government forces kids to go there
– The government leaves a target-rich location open to shitbags like that to go shoot up a bunch of kids.
The rest is just details.
Cynic.
I forgot that I was alluding to GBS: “The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.”
Actually, I think this explains why the politicians are so worked up about Jan. 6th. If cops aren’t going to risk their lives for children, how can Pelosi et al expect them to put their lives on the line at the Capitol?
A lot of right wing pundits are openly outraged by these cops. Cernovich, Jesse Kelly, Posobiec have criticized them. A little ray of sunshine is that the ubiquity of video means cops can’t hide behind their lying stories anymore.
In the long run it will be for the best if those cops are doxxed and publicly humiliated and eventually use their service weapon one last time on themselves.
I suppose that’s better than finding them hanging from a streetlight, cartel style.
The cops sat and waited at Columbine and Parkland too.
The most important thing is that they get home safe. I’m serious. Ask one, He will tell you.
Good to see you, Lach. Hope you can stick around.
Hope so too. Life been busy lately.
Welcome back!
“Ask the man who owns one”?
For some reason, garbagemen, fishermen, roofers, steelworkers, etc are expected to take mortal risks, but government police can choose not to do their jobs on a whim and will be protected by the system.
I think you know the reasons. Knowing the reasons only makes it more infuriating.

“I prefer Noh theater…”
Why can’t you just back the blue, bigot?
And so here you have LEOs actively preventing the parents from protecting their children. To the point of drawing tasers and having hands on rifles.
My remaining doubts about defunding the police have evaporated following this morning’s twitter video. We’d be better off handling issues among ourselves. Hell, I’d rather be paying Tony for protection than taxes for LEOs at this point.
Yo, SSD:
Dunno if you saw my response a few days ago to your questions about Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045.
I enjoyed it. Will watch Season 2.
I didn’t see it and thanks for the follow up. I’ll add Ghost in the Shell to my watchlist.
I tried something called Love Death Robots the other day that initially seemed promising but quickly descended into liberal talking points.
Love Death Robots is an anthology series, so each episode is different. Some are really good… others… not so much.
There are real standouts in that series, but there are also some real losers.
Alright I’ll give it another shot on an episode by episode basis. Sounds a bit like Black Mirror in that regard.
The first episode of this new season was straight DNC talking points.
Pissed me off, but the remainder weren’t too bad.
I think it was the second one on the boat with the giant crab monster was excellent. I looked it up and it was the only directed by David Fincher in the series so far even though he produced it.
Max Headroom just popped up for viewing. I am going to put some time towards that.
Amanda Pays was a total smokeshow.
Did you watch subbed or dubbed?
Even subbed I couldn’t take it. If you like this I’d suggest the original series which I enjoyed more.
However that isn’t available on Netflix. It pops up with a “remind me” so maybe it is possibly coming.
Teachable moment about never depending on the police to do anything except impose the will of the state.
Imposing the will of the state – I was thinking you’d go Eric Garner there.

“Distressing videos show parents begging cops to stop Texas school shooting”
https://nypost.com/2022/05/26/videos-show-parents-begging-cops-to-stop-texas-school-shooting/
“Go in there! Go in there!” women shouted at the police soon after the attack began, according to neighbor Juan Carranza, who told the Associated Press about the parents’ efforts to get the police to confront the shooter. Carranza said the officers did not go in.”
fucking cowards. defund the police.
There was a survivor. That’s some new info.
https://www.fox13news.com/news/texas-school-shooting-salvador-ramos-told-classroom-its-time-to-die-survivor-says?taid=628fe6d7d0445e0001e021c1&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
“The gunman who killed 19 students and two teachers in the Uvalde mass shooting told a classroom of children that “it’s time to die,” according to a fourth-grader who survived the attack.”
If the update about him being outside the school fence for 12 minutes trying to potshot the people at the funeral home is accurate — I’m sorry, but a guy shooting just outside of a school? That’s when anyone with even a scintilla of sense would take him out. Because otherwise — guess what? The evil creep may just go in the school!
And yeah — fire every last one of their worthless butts if this is the case. This level of public shame would be too good for them.
¿Qué pasó a Tejas??
According to this they actually tazed one of the parents, and handcuffed another.
I’m not any LEO lover, but I need to see a real timeline to understand what if any motivation the cops had for staying out of the school for nearly an hour? If they (cops) were there when the guy arrived and subsequently wounded then the back up should have attempted to stop the guy.
If the gunman was holding live kids hostage or had stopped shooting then the back up arrived; then getting all of the other kids out and not rushing in would be a viable approach. They didn’t know if rushing in would force the guy to start shooting kids.
If there were gunshots coming from the school while there were cops there and kids still in the school then they should have rushed in and tried to end it ASAP.
I still don’t have enough information as it keeps changing.
Agreed. All of it os hearsay right now. For all we know he threatened to keep shooting if anyone came close. Although yes, cops would have to tackle and hold me down to keep me out of I was a parent.
If the gunman was holding live kids hostage or had stopped shooting then the back up arrived; then getting all of the other kids out and not rushing in would be a viable approach. They didn’t know if rushing in would force the guy to start shooting kids.
I’m not seeing it. This wasn’t a bank robber who grabbed some kids when the cops showed up too soon. I’m with you then on maybe waiting and getting him to disengage. The bank robber isn’t there to kill kids. A mass shooter in a school a whole different scenario. His goal is to kill kids and the cops should take that at face value. Their goal should be ending the threat as soon as possible.
Regardless of the events inside the school, there is no excuse for cops drawing their tasers and forming a wall with hands on rifles towards the parents of these children. That shows the disdain with which they hold the people they supposedly serve. The parents would have been justified in taking action against those cops. And I wouldn’t be surprised (or vote guilty) if we see that happen over the coming days from any parents who lost their only child.
There’s a great bit in Dave Smith’s Libertas comedy special about who really serves who. The whole thing is worth watching but I’ll try to find a time stamp for the part I mentioned. I can’t even say that they supposedly serve the public after hearing it.
You can skip to 48 minutes in to hear the cop joke but y’all should definitely watch the whole thing.
Awesome, thanks for the link.
This.
In big tragedies like this, I have yet to assume the worst from the cops and subsequently been wrong.
I have enough to know I’m not turning in a gun so the cops can protect my family.
Yeah, this
None of you all are wrong. I’m just looking for a real story that I can believe that won’t change 5 minutes from now.
Yesterday or the day before the story details and time line was quite different.
BTW I don’t think or plan on cops protecting me or mine. That’s my job.
Police: Woman killed man who fired rifle into party crowd
Huh. That thing that never happens? It just happened. Again.
Proggy froggies: “There goes your ‘good guy with a gun’ narrative!”
But, she stopped the—
“I SAID THERE GOES YOUR NARRATIVE, RACIST!”
Of course, the response from those promoting gun bans would be that, if guns were banned, that guy wouldn’t have a gun.
Just like in NYC and Chicago!
A 37-year-old man has been arrested and charged after five people were killed and two injured in a bow and arrow attack in the Norwegian town of Kongsberg on Wednesday.

Piercing insight, right there.
Obviously he was high-strung.
He was under a lot of tension.
He felt like people were pulling his strings.
Some may quiver at the thought.
To the victims, he was their arch-nemesis.
Add this to Breivik’s massacre despite strict gun control in Norway. Will the gun bans proposed these days ban the guns that Breivik used?
Meanwhile, gun violence continues in NZ. No one – including the cops – can figure out where the guns are coming from.
I thought the answer to that was always Indiana.
Many factors compounded the matter
Arrowing experience for all concerned.

Mom can’t really justify her fandom, so we agree to leave each other alone about our reading/writing tastes.

Amber Heard cross exam was brutal today. Short & bloody.
Yes, I’m watching the trial. Yes, in some ways it’s celebrity cheese. In some ways it’s a fairly landmark defamation case.
So sue me. I’m hiring Camille Vasquez & Dr. Curry.
What are your thoughts on it now that Amber has been on the stand? News seems scarce on it.
Still hawt.
I came in in favor of JD, so it’s hard to answer objectively. AH came across very very badly in both her appears on the stand, IMO. Fake AF on direct exam, hostile & snippety on cross.
Not following too closely, but the only pro-AH crowd seems to be feminists.
Neither of them sound like prizes, but I’d let him use my toilet, and he probably wouldn’t steal the silverware.

As the old saying goes:
“An ugly personality ruins a pretty face.”
Now that is how you do a euphemism!
Today, Camille essentially accused AH of perjury
I can easily believe that Johnny Depp is no angel, but that chick is utterly nuts.
I had no opinion either way (outside of “Legal Bytes'” pre-trial discussion of the evidence in the case that was already on record. I think overall, there’s no way Amber wins her counterclaim, and a very good chance that Depp wins on at least one of his claims. Whether the jury will award Depp any significant amount is up in the air, but it’s likely that Depp has rehabilitated his reputation to a degree and might even get some new roles. Heard is likely to slide into ignominy. Many of the people who were referenced as friends of hers have become former friends.
A couple of the Law Tubers (who are having internecine drama now) have suggested $7 mil as an award for Depp. Basically, giving him back the divorce settlement.
heh. He could F with her by donating it to a fund for awareness of male DV victims. Probably would be better not to do that publicly though.
At least the ACLU didn’t get their promised donation.
I haven’t been following any internal drama there.
I thought there wasn’t really any, but maybe something developed that I missed?
From what I hear from Rekieta, Legal Bytes banned DUI Guy from her stream because she thought his reaction to the TMZ guy’s testimony was inappropriate for a lawyer. Sounds pretty fucking petty all around. ?
huh, I missed that totally.
She doesn’t like Rekieta’s chat or general audience, which, I can see why because its just calls to see her feet and not what she has to say. The whole DUIGuy and the other kid that is just tweeting juror reactions is her protecting her stream. Even Rekeita is like…who gives a shit, her stream and she is welcome.
To be fair, that chat is deranged.
Both have screwed up lives and pasts. Depp comes across as genuine and Heard comes off as seriously a bi-polar crazy. I think today I saw three or four emotions in the span of a minute, all flipped on and off like it was nothing.
As Robbie Bernstein pointed out, somehow we get to see their personal lives in full video but Ghislaine Maxwell or Hillary Clinton’s lawyer are given privacy.
I have read SugarFree. I have no interest in seeing Hillary’s private life.
The reality is probably worse than fiction. But the trial is about the inner workings of her campaign staff, lawyer, and FBI collusion. It should be completely public, unlike the image of her munching Huma Abedin’s box.
The joys of Federal court, where they can shield the public and deny cameras and we have to be subjected to court proceedings via sketch artists and court reporters.
I don’t envy the jury (I have never jurored).
Oh, dur: Reasonable Doubt seems to cover this pretty well, if one is interested. I know I have more residual affection for him.
I am only interested insofar as empathy for an employee railroaded out of a job on lies. You better believe I feel bad for JD.
It will be a decent barometer on the #MeToo movement and its current steam…believe all women or maybe some are just crazy.

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction sent Marissa Darlingh a letter on April 29, explaining that she was under investigation for what she said at a rally in Madison just six days before.
“DPI has opened an investigation to determine whether to initiate educator license revocation proceedings against you,” the letter stated. “It has been alleged that you engaged in immoral conduct.”
Darling was one of several speakers at a feminist rally in Madison on April 23 where she used a commonly expressed profanity repeatedly as she discussed transgenderism.
“I oppose gender ideology ever entering the walls of my school building,” Darling said. “Over my dead … body will my students be exposed to the heart of gender identity ideology. Not a single one of my students under my … watch will ever, ever transition socially, and sure as hell not medically.”
Her watch has ended.

All the cops made it home safely from the the scene of the masscare and, really, isn’t that what’s really important?

The Border Patrol tactical agent who took down the Uvalde shooter sustained a wound to the head after being brazed by a bullet. He was shot in the leg, but has been discharged from the hospital, per CBP sources.
Damn… first the SUVs attack people, now bullets are studying cooking techniques like braising…
Brazing is a welding technique, similar to soldering.
Worse, the bullets are studying metal joining techniques to make their bodies into new and more dangerous forms of metals…

High prices and low productivity?
Stagflation is the bitterest of economic pills: High inflation mixes with a weak job market to cause a toxic brew that punishes consumers and befuddles economists.
For decades, most economists didn’t think such a nasty concoction was even possible. They’d long assumed that inflation would run high only when the economy was strong and unemployment low.
But an unhappy confluence of events has economists reaching back to the days of disco and the bleak high-inflation, high-unemployment economy of nearly a half century ago. Few think stagflation is in sight. But as a longer-term threat, it can no longer be dismissed.
Last week, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen invoked the word in remarks to reporters:
“The economic outlook globally,” Yellen said, “is challenging and uncertain, and higher food and energy prices are having stagflationary effects, namely depressing output and spending and raising inflation all around the world.”
You don’t say. I guess we need more stimulus.
Back then the elites acknowledged that stagflation was bad but now today they like since they can implement the Great Reset
“For decades, most economists didn’t think such a nasty concoction was even possible.’
Jesus, the 70’s wasnt that long ago.
Nor the 80s, for that matter, which is when most of these economists got their education (with stagflation barely in the rear-view mirror).
For now, economists broadly agree that the U.S. economy has enough oomph to avoid a recession. But the problems are piling up. Supply chain bottlenecks and disruptions from Russia’s war against Ukraine have sent consumer prices surging at their fastest pace in decades.
Riiiight.
PUTINNN!!!
Stagflation, and especially chronically high inflation, became a defining feature of the 1970s. Political figures struggled in vain to attack the problem. President Richard Nixon resorted, futilely, to wage and price controls. The Ford administration issued “Whip Inflation Now” buttons. The reaction was mainly scorn.
Wage and price controls will work this time. A Democrat is in the White House.

Stagflations. Bookends of my adult life.

Hayek and Mises are dead white cishet men plus we have computers, anti-racism and environmentalism to make central planning work this time.
Can you imagine price controls in the age of social media? There’ll be retailers getting hammered on Twitter every hour. Then they’ll drop their prices to appease the mob, which will be followed by shelves being cleared off, then by shortages. I continue to think that social media hasn’t created many of the problems we face these days, it’s just amplified them and made them worse.
You have got to be shitting me.

Twenty-seven U.S-based companies are defying calls to exit or curtail their activities in Russia, according to a running tally by Yale University management professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and his research team.
While Starbucks and McDonald’s have both announced their complete withdrawals from Russia in recent days, Hard Rock continues to operate its Hard Rock Cafes in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia.
The company, acquired by the Seminole Tribe of Florida in 2007, “will suspend all future investment and development in Russia and donate all profits from the two franchise locations in Russia to humanitarian causes in Ukraine,” Hard Rock said in an emailed statement to CBS MoneyWatch.
Another purveyor of fast food, U.S. pizza chain Sbarro, is also staying put. Operating Russia since 1997, the privately held company signed a new franchise deal in the country in 2017. It has partnered with Horeca Band Group and plans to open more than 300 Sbarro restaurants in Russia by 2027. It did not respond to a request for comment.
It’s not only food chains that are “digging in,” according to Sonnenfeld. The owner of online dating services Match.com and its Tinder unit continues to do business in Russia, with executives at the dating company saying in an earnings call earlier this month that it expects to lose about $10 million in revenue every quarter as long as the Russian war in Ukraine continues.

I just found out yesterday one of our over-achievers is out for two weeks after tomorrow. I just covered for a different one for two weeks, but at least I know that code-base. I don’t know this one at all. FML.
Where is my two weeks?
Where is my two weeks?
Sounds like now would be a good time to take them.

This has always been a key flaw: everything evolves and changes yet certain things will never change. Everyone will always will always support free speech, free trade and laissez-faire even if have they no clue what those concepts mean, have read the arguments of its advocates or even agree those things are good. It just will happen because progress and modernity. And that he realizes these things are good because he has rationally, logically and scientifically looked at the facts rather than out of a sense of tradition.
And this isn’t a straw man. Gillespie and Welch claimed that “The generation raised on the Internet has essentially been raised libertarian, even if they’ve never even heard of the word. ” Or how the economics lessons of the 1970s were quickly forgotten as those who lived during that time retire and die off.
Tonight’s dinner:
Take one kielbasa, diced. Put in pot, turn on flame. Core and slice one cabbage, add to the pot. Cook until softened and browned.
Serve with a glass of vodka.
I can dig that. I might do SOS tonight..it is feeling like that I need to acclimate the family to shitty eatin.
Do you use chipped beef or ground beef?
Chipped if I can find it, which if I save trimmings off of briskets I prepare, can serve the purpose. Ill also take chuck and toss in the food processor and give it a few whirls and use that. Never ground.
I was going to ask where you find chipped beef.
Oooh, I bet you could use that Buddig lunch meat and nuke it.
Any dried meat will do
Looks like you can buy it in jars.
Might try this some day.
It’s extremely salty so I advise rinsing it first.
All sounds good. It’s Thursday, and we have kids over night. It’s a work night!
Dude, go the extra step and use sauerkraut.
And pickled red onions
Well, I’ve got a cabbage, see…
and honestly, any kind of cured meat + leafy vegetables = yum.
I’ve decided to make myself a reuben.
NA, that sounds delicious
Time for local news

HOA is threatening to fine the man $100 a day for a personal sticker on his personal vehicle that he parks in his driveway, and backed in.
Article needs to name the attorney.
Lying and attorney is usually redundant. However, I’d like more on exactly what he said and if violates any ethical rules that would warrant a complaint to the bar.
We have a local radio show and they named the lawyer and the HOA president. I don’t remember it. Guy is a complete doush…especially when we think that he is being paid to go after a guy that is technically paying his legal fee.
Dissolve the HOA
It is close to it if they pursue it. From what I gathered, he was flying a “Trump 2020” flag and that is the nexus of the story. Since then, has been harassed and singled out for every petty violation of his CC&Rs
In a woodchipper?
Everyone is an asshole.
On that I agree. I wouldn’t love looking at the truck and the flags.
Many years ago in the town my where father grew up they had somebody with a big sign in the front yard ranting against somebody.
It ran afoul of some town ordinance. So the person splashed some effects on it and called it “art”.
In those days when courts actually gave some consideration to freedom of expression and told the town they couldn’t stop it. Forced them to make a new ordinance based on zoning and structures and the like. This of course took like 6 months to get done and by that time the point had been made.
Wall Street Journal.
Uvalde Shooter Fired Outside School for 12 Minutes Before Entering
Given this outlet is reporting it we can pretty much confirm this was an absolute fuck up.
Conspiracy theories, start your engines. What the hell?
No conspiracy needed. Institutionalized stupidity for the win.
When I heard about that shooting, my Tin Foil hat began to spark, the entire shooting up schools thing seems like a setup by the GOV to further erode our gun rights
Dude had free rein in the school for an hour while outside, cops were busy tackling, handcuffing, and tasing parents. Un. Fucking. Real.
Who would do this to a Corvette?

whiz took down Sean today, so the Final Four is set: whiz vs. kinnath and trshy vs. Grrizzly. Good luck!
24 players today. T-line split was an OK 16/8. Quordlemetrics: 0 2 3 6 (1). The average score was 37.5. Which is lower than I thought it would be because…
It looked early on like Mo’ might be chump today. 119 isn’t pretty. But then TARDis said “hold my beer!” He scored an impressive 309. That’s the second lowest possible score. Keep it up,
champchump. One day you’ll get an all four words miss named after you.Just played first time ever. 124, suck it Tardis.
Did you like it? I can add you to the roster.
The requirement to use real words pisses me off. We shall see.
