Heh. But if you add meat it is fine. I made NY strips and mixed greens for dinner. Do the steaks in a cast iron skillet and cut the heat. Add the greens to the skillet to wilt and reduce while the steaks rest. The greens will take on the flavor the spices on the steaks and the oil/butter used.

***
Execration texts, also referred to as proscription lists,[1] are ancient Egyptian hieratic texts, listing enemies of the pharaoh, most often enemies of the Egyptian state or troublesome foreign neighbors.[2] The texts were most often written upon statuettes of bound foreigners, bowls, or blocks of clay or stone, which were subsequently destroyed. The ceremonial process of breaking the names and burying them was intended to be a sort of sympathetic magic that would affect the persons or entities named in the texts. The fragments were usually placed near tombs or ritual sites. This practice was most common during times of conflict with the Asiatic neighbors of Egypt.[
…
The execration ritual was the process by which one could thwart or eradicate one’s enemies. Usually the ritual object(s) would be bound (usually a small figurine, but sometimes human sacrifice was practiced), then the object was smashed, stomped on, stabbed, cut, speared, spat on, locked in a box, burned, saturated in urine, and finally buried. But not every execration included all of the previous components. A full rite could use any of these actions numerous times with numerous figures. One recorded rite gave instructions to “spit on him four times … trample on him with the left foot … smite him with a spear … slaughter him with a knife … place him on the fire … spit on him in the fire many times”

Derpetologist
on May 31, 2020 at 7:49 pm
No, the Egyptians did not eat salads. They were invented and named by the Romans:
***
from Vulgar Latin *salata, literally “salted,” short for herba salata “salted vegetables” (vegetables seasoned with brine, a popular Roman dish)
***
Herba also means grass in Latin. It’s where the English words herb and herbivore come from. In Spanish, it got garbled into Yerba (as in yerba mate) and in French it got a classy apostrophe and became l’herbe.
Vegetable comes from a Latin word that means growing or alive. In botany, the word has no meaning. Every part of a plant is either a root, a fruit, or a shoot.
Hashish means grass in Arabic and later it referred to the stems and leaves of marijuana*. There is a dubious etymology that the word assassin comes from an Arabic word meaning “eaters of hashish”. Supposedly the leader of the assassins gave them marijuana and said the hallucinations were visions of the paradise the would reach if they became martyrs for the cause. It’s more likely that the word assassin comes from asasiyun, which means founders. Muhashi means pothead in Arabic and there are many muhashi jokes.
And now you know…
*experts aren’t sure on the etymology – it could come from the Nahuatl word for prisoner or the Chinese word for oregano

You don’t have to be black to be outraged.
I’m not black. I’m not outraged. But I find the violent riots and looting to be rather destructive and unhelpful, to say the least.
Just a general advisory for Glibs: In light of the current stupidity, if/when you’re out and about, when in doubt, choose safety. That can mean different things depending upon your situation, but give yourself permission to listen to that voice in your head. If you get a hinky feeling, don’t feel foolish in going back to your car, or keeping your hand on a weapon in your purse, or taking a different route, etc. Many of you have weapons and may or may not carry, but right now isn’t dangerous just because of the riots and associated idiocy: it’s also the perfect time for normal criminals and crimes of opportunity. The cops are otherwise occupied and people’s attention is elsewhere. Choose safety for you and yours Mr. and Mrs. Glib.
Also, I don’t know if it was already covered, but the guy who ran up and disarmed the twat with the AR from the cop car? The Glibs were right: former SF guy. He was security for a Fox News crew and did it twice while they were out filming, according to an article on Fox’s page. That’s why he had that second AR on his back with no mag.
I’ll say nothing about the weapons discipline of the cops who left their weapons when they fled their cars…. Fuckheads. (Okay, so I lied).

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important, groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.
Castle doctrine is the closest to defense of property only, and even that’s more just a presumption of a threat to life when breaking into somebody’s home.

Terms in this set (5) [6] If any one steal the property of a temple or of the court, he shall be put to death, and also the one who receives the stolen thing from him shall be put to death. This law shows Hammurabi’s belief that stealing sacred items was a heinous crime. Hence, the punishment is extremely severe.

No system of justice has ever allowed deadly force in the defense of property only.
Ahem:
Sec. 9.42. DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:
(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41; and
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:
(A) to prevent the other’s imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or
(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property; and
(3) he reasonably believes that:
(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; or
(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.

Tanker truck barrels down on protesters marching on I-35W in Minneapolis
The peaceful march of thousands of protestors Sunday turned into a scene of panic, as a tanker truck barreled towards the crowd on the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis just before 6 p.m.
State officials say the trucker may not have realized the highways had been closed. No injuries among demonstrators have been confirmed, they said.

I was thinking more along the lines of, “I wasn’t born in ’68, why the fuck do I have to relive it?” Looking forward to my vacation (which is all very far away from urban centers) all the more.
We’re debating whether or not to return, once we do leave.

I have a pretty good idea about the gun culture in CA – I left San Jose before all the bans happened so I know what kind of people had that kind of hardware before – and expect I could guess what the underground scene is like there.
I expect the usual shop owner in or near rough neighborhoods would be properly armed – but I’m pretty sure the actual ethnic Koreans would not be showing off any banned equipment but keeping it out of sight. Many of them grew up in Korea where gun ownership is very restricted so they understand how to keep that on the down low.
The violence since the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis is a communist inspired insurrection—nothing more, nothing less.
….
The U.S. Left now has the power to start race riots in nearly every major American city.
Unless forcefully countered, these current riots and protests will go on all summer up until the elections. The twin goals are to stall the U.S. economic recovery and destroy President Trump. In truth these riots have nothing to do with race and everything to do with regime change and revolution.
Unless resolute action is taken, Americans are in for a long, hot summer. Revolution may be coming to a city near you.

I have noticed at a few protests that I have seen personally in the Bay and at other protests for BLM and other lefty causes that the same signs with the same font were being used. A lot of them are from Refuse Fascism, which is an offshoot of the RevComs. They have been purposefully stoking resentment and fueling a lot of these protests for a while now.

Many people are calling for federal intervention; however, that type of confrontation is the intended goal of the social anarchy crowd. The leftist chaos is purposeful bait; let them exhaust themselves first and highlight inept democrat Mayors and Governors.
Politically speaking, the merging of Antifa (revolution communists) & Black Lives Matter (sub-text political Islam), has a purposeful agenda unknown to the standard brick thrower. Suburban white liberals, essentially modern affiliates of the former Bill Ayers Weather Underground, are the organizing entities. Most of the people on the street are oblivious.
Local authorities in/around the urban danger zones have the primary responsibility to maintain domestic tranquility. Federal intervention to replace local political ineptitude, and lack of desire to confront a crisis of their own creation, is short-sighted.
If local officials and/or state governors are not going to take action; factually they do not want to take action because they are fearful of backlash from their own tribe; then federal assistance doesn’t work. It is better for President Trump to watch from a distance and keep reminding the U.S. electorate how he supports, but will not replace, local officials.
Interesting take.

It’s not far off the mark. The Dems that rule unopposed in these cities have allowed this to fester and grow. They have encouraged it for christsakes. I was fairly sure this would happen with extended lockdowns and here it is right on schedule.
I wouldn’t have guessed the catalyst in a thousand years, but the result isn’t surprising. The only thing left to see is whether these riots fizzle out or whether they gain steam over the next week or two.
Paraphrasing one comment, now that Antifa rioters are terrorists, if the National Guard goes in, what are the rules of engagement? Wouldn’t that then be considered asymmetric warfare and combatants could be shot on sight?

The point seems to be to declare Antifa a foreign terror organization, what that means is the NSA is off the leash, FISA comes into play, and all the other powers people gave the feds after 9/11 can be used.

Crowd surrounds a vehicle with two adults and a small child and begins threatening them. One occupant apparently used pepper spray and the other fired a warning shot to get the crowd to move back. They then drove off. Police arrested the guy who fired after they reported the incident.
Meanwhile, the crowd which was unlawfully obstructing traffic and walking in the street wasn’t impeded in the least by police. Not in that news story, but the event was planned as “March for Black Lives”. Because police killing or brutalizing non-blacks never happens.

Some idiot on another board, who has been pushing the white supremacists angle, bitched about people talking about “leftist activists” taking part in the rioting, and saying that the way to solve this is to go after the corporate fat cats.

Yeah its not like all those cops will be forced out on foot patrol. They, and by they I mean the taxpayers who just got burned out and terrorized, will have the privilege of providing our noble heros in blue with new vehicles they can use to drive away from the rampaging mobs.
Yup. Mr Taxpayer it is your honor to help pay for new squad cars to pay for your protection. We have to raise taxes since you haven’t produced much sales revenue the last few months, and don’t think that just because your home was burned in the riots you can skip on property taxes. It’s the price we pay for civilization.

Would anyone notice?
So, two months…and a day? They people are beyond retarded.
I haven’t been allowed to work since Mar. 18. I finally GET to back on June 8.
I’m extremely fortunate that I was furloughed for a whopping three days.
We have new people starting tomorrow. I am likely going to have to train one and/or be shadowed by one. As much as I would prefer to miss that, I get paid to show up and do things. So I’ll be going to the office.
Would anyone notice?
If people that clearly don’t have jobs failed to show up for their nonexistent jobs? Probably not.
Damn. So they really don’t want jobs down in Columbus, do they?
today I learned
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execration_texts
***
Execration texts, also referred to as proscription lists,[1] are ancient Egyptian hieratic texts, listing enemies of the pharaoh, most often enemies of the Egyptian state or troublesome foreign neighbors.[2] The texts were most often written upon statuettes of bound foreigners, bowls, or blocks of clay or stone, which were subsequently destroyed. The ceremonial process of breaking the names and burying them was intended to be a sort of sympathetic magic that would affect the persons or entities named in the texts. The fragments were usually placed near tombs or ritual sites. This practice was most common during times of conflict with the Asiatic neighbors of Egypt.[
…
The execration ritual was the process by which one could thwart or eradicate one’s enemies. Usually the ritual object(s) would be bound (usually a small figurine, but sometimes human sacrifice was practiced), then the object was smashed, stomped on, stabbed, cut, speared, spat on, locked in a box, burned, saturated in urine, and finally buried. But not every execration included all of the previous components. A full rite could use any of these actions numerous times with numerous figures. One recorded rite gave instructions to “spit on him four times … trample on him with the left foot … smite him with a spear … slaughter him with a knife … place him on the fire … spit on him in the fire many times”

Did they do one that said “fuck salads”?
No, the Egyptians did not eat salads. They were invented and named by the Romans:
***
from Vulgar Latin *salata, literally “salted,” short for herba salata “salted vegetables” (vegetables seasoned with brine, a popular Roman dish)
***
Herba also means grass in Latin. It’s where the English words herb and herbivore come from. In Spanish, it got garbled into Yerba (as in yerba mate) and in French it got a classy apostrophe and became l’herbe.
Vegetable comes from a Latin word that means growing or alive. In botany, the word has no meaning. Every part of a plant is either a root, a fruit, or a shoot.
Hashish means grass in Arabic and later it referred to the stems and leaves of marijuana*. There is a dubious etymology that the word assassin comes from an Arabic word meaning “eaters of hashish”. Supposedly the leader of the assassins gave them marijuana and said the hallucinations were visions of the paradise the would reach if they became martyrs for the cause. It’s more likely that the word assassin comes from asasiyun, which means founders. Muhashi means pothead in Arabic and there are many muhashi jokes.
And now you know…
*experts aren’t sure on the etymology – it could come from the Nahuatl word for prisoner or the Chinese word for oregano

Hmm…
Our little revolution right now is going to lose all it’s cannon-fodder when there’s nothing left to loot.
People are now looting Merle Hay Mall in Des Moines. Police sending reinforcements.
Our county (the one just north Of Des Moines) loaned an MRAP to Des Moines today. (And yes it is an issue that our county sheriff wanted to get and did get an MRAP.)
I forgot to mention that a curfew was earlier called to start at 9 PM, so I guess the rioters wanted to get a head start on it so they could be done by 9.
Well your sheriff is gloating over the naysayers now.
Not the greatest looting target, it’s too easy to get hemmed in in a mall.
Yes, some were seen running away without anything in hand — apparently they had to ditch their booty.
This seems wrong … but oh so right.

“Racist black cops arrest white protester…” ///jk
But that was interesting.
That first reply is a sad commentary.
Just a general advisory for Glibs: In light of the current stupidity, if/when you’re out and about, when in doubt, choose safety. That can mean different things depending upon your situation, but give yourself permission to listen to that voice in your head. If you get a hinky feeling, don’t feel foolish in going back to your car, or keeping your hand on a weapon in your purse, or taking a different route, etc. Many of you have weapons and may or may not carry, but right now isn’t dangerous just because of the riots and associated idiocy: it’s also the perfect time for normal criminals and crimes of opportunity. The cops are otherwise occupied and people’s attention is elsewhere. Choose safety for you and yours Mr. and Mrs. Glib.
Also, I don’t know if it was already covered, but the guy who ran up and disarmed the twat with the AR from the cop car? The Glibs were right: former SF guy. He was security for a Fox News crew and did it twice while they were out filming, according to an article on Fox’s page. That’s why he had that second AR on his back with no mag.
I’ll say nothing about the weapons discipline of the cops who left their weapons when they fled their cars…. Fuckheads. (Okay, so I lied).
Hey, the cops don’t expect anyone to be brazen enough to take their weapon when all they’re doing is busting windshields and setting their patrol cars on fire. Cut ’em some slack.
They made it home safely after running away in fear. All that matters.
My recollection is you’re a Marine, Drake. Try to imagine your DI’s voice in your head after abandoning that AR in the car for shitheads to take.
He’d go off for a few hours.
I and another private once temporarily mislaid a rifle because we thought the other had it. Mislaid. Once.
HA! One of my guys once left his rifle leaning against the wall of the on-post do-it-yourself carwash. Hilarity ensued as we made a mad dash back to find it untouched, right where he left it.
Well, you forgot their paychecks. Those will still come in.
What are the odds that the retention locks weren’t even engaged?
Scruff–if you only knew how many times I’ve seen teletype messages going out from local PDs about officers’ personal vehicles being burglarized… Lots of stolen credentials, uniforms, and, of course, guns.
Most squad cars have the long guns in fairly secure locks. Chances are that looters would damage the gun before being able to use it. But, an officer’s personal vehicle? Especially when they are Tac-Bois? GTFO…
SEE! There WERE armed white supremacists at the demonstrations!
? Nice.

3) Finger off the trigger until you are depressing the trigger.
4) Never point it at something you are not willing to kill or destroy.
5) clean and maintain the dammed thing after you practice shooting it.

But a 1911 will put hair on ones chest.
So will a Glock.
If you’re going with a compact carry, then go with a nice 1911 or 911 from Springfield.

A 1911, huh. I’ll have to Google that.
My standard advice (I’m no expert):
I wouldn’t go for anything less than .380 caliber.
9mm is popular and cheap for a reason.
Try before you buy. Go to a shooting range and rent a gun to try it.
Get training.
Stay proficient.
You are a complete fucking waste of space. Take it someplace else for a couple of days.

This will fizzle in a week when all the stores are looted.
Then all the virtue-signaling twats will decide big city life just isn’t for them and head for the ‘burbs, bringing their shitass politics with them.
Philadelphia, Minneapolis, etc… just all took one huge step towards Baltimore/Detroit status.

I live in the middle of nowhere. No one here is rioting. Race relations seem pretty good. I had a chat with a black preacher in the grocery this morning. Race didnt come up. The riots didnt come up.
I don’t think anyone is going to come here and stir shit. As I saw in a twit this morning “Rural America is well armed and peaceful as always”.
I wouldn’t live in one of those cities if you tried to force me at gunpoint.
They (the left) riot where they know they are safe… Leftist cities.
My Brooklyn neighborhood is quiet as always. Even the Staten Island muffler guidos have taken the night off. ?♂️
White/Muslim/Asian/Latino privilege, I guess.
Today was a nice warm, sunny day and Rockaway Beach was packed. There is NO evidence whatsoever of any of this foolishness out here on our lovely peninsula.
Orlando’s had protests, but only a small amount of looting in South Orlando, near Universal.
They had one picture of a messed up Krispy Kreme (donut) shop, which is one way of getting back at cops I guess.
There’s riots ~10 miles north of me. Here? It’s quiet… of course, I’m probably in the minority in my community by not having a firearm in the house.
Here in the “minority majority” islands state things have been calm. One small protest near Waikiki yesterday with no damage. With a 40% unemployment rate other things are on the mind of the populace. No inside dining, no haircuts etc, no bars or nightclubs, and the idiot governor is keeping tourists out until “at least July, and no promises for then”. This is a nice place to watch a shitshow start.
Today was a good day sailing. We broke the gov “no more than two people on a boat” rule. Fuck him.

They would not be safe here. The Sheriff would be in a spot. He would have to protect the rioters but not be perceived as sympathetic to them. That is a fine line.
Not sure how this ended up here. Supposed to be a reply to LJW above.
Apparently the cake is a lie:

If you can’t trust twitter user “Boner Garage”, who can you trust?
In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important, groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.
DUN DUN
In the replies:
“Law & Order doesn’t include shooting looters.”
The hell it doesn’t.
It doesn’t if they aren’t threatening you physically (though you may reasonably believe that, and a prosecutor (and I) would probably believe you).
No system of justice has ever allowed deadly force in the defense of property only.
Castle doctrine is the closest to defense of property only, and even that’s more just a presumption of a threat to life when breaking into somebody’s home.
Hammurabi would like a word:
***
Terms in this set (5) [6] If any one steal the property of a temple or of the court, he shall be put to death, and also the one who receives the stolen thing from him shall be put to death. This law shows Hammurabi’s belief that stealing sacred items was a heinous crime. Hence, the punishment is extremely severe.
***
If the state refuses to protect your property and you protect it yourself I have no problem with people using deadly force to do so. I wouldn’t stand by and let somebody torch my house or my business, especially if I was inside.

Stealing involves the risk of being ventilated and possibly dieing of lead poisoning.
Ahem:
I always thought that martial law included the clause that looters could be shot on sight.
Look at my friend the lawyer.
It’s ok, the government will print more money to reimburse you and pay the looters to stay home.
IIRC, Florida statute law authorizes deadly force to “…prevent the commission of a forcible felony.”

I’d put up the version of the flag where the blue line is peeled away to reveal a swastika, but I have a feeling people wouldn’t get it.
I have a thin blue/thin gold line sticker on my vehicle. Would you care to discuss it?

/The Persuaders
Heh.
Apparently, it’s anorexic.
the conundrum
if cops are not punished for abuse, it continues
if cops are punished for abuse, they stand down during riots, strike, etc
if cops lose special protections, no one will obey them
if cops keep special protections, they will abuse them
The only way out I see is to repeal laws so there are fewer lawbreakers to deal with.
That’s the best plan.
But we still need to do away with qualified immunity. Amash is putting forward a bill to do that this week.
Sure – let’s be pure Libertarians – if we just stop the WOD all will be well.
You’re not PURE! Only I am PURE!
Get rid of public employee unions an QI.
If the cops stand down, fire them.
Hire new cops. Pay well enough that you can afford non-sadistic non-morons.
And what you said.
A lot of the problem is that cops perceive themselves as something other than citizens who are employed for law enforcement.
Is modern urban life possible without a large police force?
My Prediction:
Shortly after these riots die down, we’re going to start getting flooded with pieces from CNN/MSNBC/et al predicting* even bigger riots if Trump gets re-elected.
* But certainly not encouraging. Oh no. Not at all. Just predicting. Making observations, you know. *wink*
We’re going to have post-election riots from the losing side regardless.
This is bullshit. There’s a threat of violence from one side.
And that’s the Amish, right?
Nice barn thee has here. Shame if something happened to it.
Yeah, the chances of a bunch of Republicans rioting after a (fairly) lost election is essentially zero.

It’s very simple: We each buy a Subaru Outback and migrate between Casper and Phoenix like a gypsy caravan. In the evening, we will make a camp and entertain the townies with magic and stunts. We already have a guy who does horoscopes and tarot card readings. Throw in a food truck or 2 and we’re set.

It is not a substitute for a shower.
Maybe I like smelly armpits.
DON”T KINK-SHAME ME!
You and me both.
Already set up for migration with truck and travel trailer. Can I join in without buying the Outback?
Well, you are married to a man.
Does your travel trailer have a “coexist” sticker on on it? I would suggest one for tactical immunity.
I have one of those US maps you’re supposed to plaster on your trailer, and put the appropriate sticker on each state you’ve camped in. And I haven’t been able to bring myself to put even that up, yet. I don’t know if I could bring myself to add a coexist sticker, even for strategic camouflage. Also, it would signal to most people at most of the campgrounds that I’m not to be associated with.
You could slap one of these on the back.
I clicked through, yelled, “I want to put this on the trailer!”
My husband replies, “after the election.”
Eh, I got one on the back windshield (along with others…). Tell him to quit being a little….well, never mind.
The only sticker my husband has willingly put on his truck was for “Lake Superior: 100% Shark Free.” Getting us to sticker up anything is a big deal.
That is an excellent sticker. Kudos on that.
I still want to match it with a Hat and the Hair decal, though.
The Outback is optional. I suggest it because it was voted the best small car to sleep in. I found it by googling “best small cars to sleep in”.
I will tell stories.

“Looting And Vandalism After Peaceful Protests”, the chyron assures me.
Twitter assures me the violence happened after the police attacked those peaceful protesters for no reason whatsoever.
Those paragons of peace just had to defend themselves with what they had at hand – e.g., frozen water bottles, which they had to hydrate themselves. Frozen, of course, because you wanted to keep the water cold on this… 55 degree night?
I’ll give them credit for properly calling it “looting”.
On CBS sports radio all weekend during my commute they were talking about the protests/riots. And all of the hosts started off talking about how no one should judge anyone by the color of their skin. I tried to find any evidence that this shit that happened in Minneapolis was done because racism. I didn’t find it. Anyone come across any evidence this cop was not just a piece of shit but a racist piece of shit?
The video fits the narrative. That’s all that matters.
It turns out that the cop and Floyd had both worked security at the same nightclub. The club owner didn’t know if they knew each other. The smirk on the shit pig as he killed Floyd tells me he did. In other local news:
Tanker truck barrels down on protesters marching on I-35W in Minneapolis
The peaceful march of thousands of protestors Sunday turned into a scene of panic, as a tanker truck barreled towards the crowd on the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis just before 6 p.m.
State officials say the trucker may not have realized the highways had been closed. No injuries among demonstrators have been confirmed, they said.
https://www.startribune.com/tanker-truck-barrels-into-thousands-marching-on-i-35w/570908442/
There are a lot of intersesting other pieces of information in the story.
Again, not that what happened is right, but from what I have read they picked the most convoluted case to riot over again. They may have known each other; after confronting him initially while he was inside a vehicle, he is said to have started yelling about being claustrophobic when they tried to put him in the squad car, he started complaining about not being able to breathe before the asshole put his knee on the BACK of his neck (not the part you breathe from), coroner (which I don’t know how it is there, but here is an elected position and doesn’t mean they are qualified so may not be correct, even if unelected may just be protecting their ‘brothers in arms’) report so far says cause of death wasn’t suffocation…
The cop had multiple complaints against him for excessive force. The ones I have heard about are all POC, although I don’t know about them all.
NBC News in Phila.: ” (Mayor Asshole) Kenney said that many of those arrested Saturday night were from outside Philadelphia, and he called them “anarchists” and “right-wingers,” all the while praising the restraint shown by the city’s police department.”
Will never be fact-checked by the media, nor will Kenney ever produce a list of the “right wingers” who were arrested.
Of course they’re right wingers. I could tell by all of the black bodies looting the Urban Outfitters.
The media will parrot that bullshit.

I’ll repeat the same thing I’ve said for days – if someone thinks these are “white nationalists” they should have no problem unleashing the full wrath of law enforcement.
I like this one.
Documented!
It’s mostly a peaceful protest, ignore the fire behind me. That was set by white supremacy.
It’s just straight up propaganda at this point and it’s not even believable propaganda.

I just arrived back home after being away for a boys fishing weekend in the Sierra Nevada with some old high school friends. It was surreal coming back to the city. I last recall seeing the roads look like that on a Sunday evening sometime in the early 1990’s. We decided to take a more southern bridge to get back even though it added 15 minutes to the trip, so we wouldn’t have to pass the freeway to Oakland and the Bay Bridge. I have been expecting civil unrest for a while now, looks like we have it here. Fuck.

She’ll also made that some Confederates monument wasn’t destroyed.
Imma say this these lowlife thugs are way smarter than the ’92 scumbags. They are after high end merch. I wanna go shoot the ones I see hurting people. I really do.
Frank Castle?
Somebody’s gotta do it. Actually the cops are nabbing people by the dozens. In ’92, they got them all after the fact by videos. This time they won’t because of the covid theater mask bullshit.
That would be awesome!
Except for the fact a ton of them are streaming their actions, doesn’t exactly show great intelligence.
Well there’s a hundred kids kneeling solemnly and chanting about justice, and there’s that many again beating people and stealing. This time, though, they hit Beverly Hills and Santa Monica where the expensive stuff is. We’re gonna see more cops, more laws and way more brutality because of these assclowns. Trump will win, too.
Yep, it is like they want to bring back the law and order politics of the 80s.
Definitely. The NAP allows for it.
Hell, I wanna see the looters get some lead comeuppance. That may not sit well with others, and we can always debate it. But, the stolen and destroyed property wasn’t hurting anyone, and deserves to be protected.
Those that are fortunate enough to get arrested will hopefully be in for a treat–3
hots and a cotcolds and some mold.Oh, when I came in for shift change this morning I heard one of my cow-orkers tell the guy he was working with, ‘…you should look into Jo Jorgensen, she’s the Libertarian candidate…’ Mayhaps I have a cow-orker I can share Hat and Hair cartoons with.
In a total coincidence, the only department at my company that has no proggies on it, is the one I lead (not that that says much, it’s a 3 person QA team). It’s also the only safe place where I can get away with sharing shit like Rooftop Korean memes.
I suspected this cow-orker may have been leaning our way way he talked about the outbreak of Wu-Han-Clan before it ever got here and he was complaining about the same stuff we were at the time, but he’s also almost 20 years younger (damn that makes me sound old), and sometimes the young kids will complain about stuff, but be able to match their complaints to an actual political solution.
Yeah… the folks on my team are my little sister, and a guy a good 15 years younger than both of us. I remember the days when coworkers would tease me by inviting me to happy hours and say “I’m sure they serve milk” because I was too young to go. Now I’m the old lady, and it seemed to happen in no time at all.
Don’t you think that might be taking it a bit too far for the first date?
I’m not into doods, NTIAWWT (unless your faith says there is, but the law should not have a say…)
Popo popping tear gas in downtown Spokane
I know what I’m doing for the rest of the night!
Quiet here in Ballard. Might be noisy and violent in downtown Seattle, but I don’t know. Or care.
Quiet here in Ballard. Except for my guitar which is clear, loud, and jangly as fuck!!
My buddy bought a 30′ sailboat moored in Union Lake and we went through Ballard Locks on our way to Anacortes. That is my exciting Ballard story.
Dang, Spokane too? I half expected the deplorable side of WA to go about their business.
Tripacer,
There is some talk up-thread about an EWA N Idaho + egould glib-together if you are interested.
Could be arranged. Short wing atthe proton mail is where I can be found.
I was supposed to be taking my temperature every morning for the entire month of May and record it on a document one of my companies sent me. Now I’m scribbling them all in as I make it up and I’m using different color pens to make it look legit. Oh, and I worked from home all month, so I don’t get why I had to do that in the first place.
I also try to vary my penmanship when pencil whipping forms.
True. They should be used to the Kabuki.
Straiff’s temp for the last month: 69.69
Add all caps to the mix.
That’ll be tricky. Don’t have it in Japanese.
KC After Dark got dark.
Watching the teevee, looks like half these people are young white LARPers.
I made that comment elsewhere earlier- at least from what Ive seen in Ohio, all the “Black Lives Matter” protesters are white 20-somethings
Glad I’m in BhC, nothing going down , all quiet here,
Got a guitar, Bob?
many, what’s up?
Just checking.
I got Guitars, Basses, Ukuleles, Keyboards and amps from hell, just no one worthy of playing with, yet,
Rock on.
Party on, Wayne
I ended up getting a les Paul melody maker. It’s cool, USA and nice and light. It’s just not a chunky assed les Paul. It plays all light and flighty like an SG. I guess I gotta get a second Gibby.
Tear gas and rubber bullets deployed in DC. Again. Dammit, can’t go to bed, busy watching the country burn.
Went from Kent State to Kunte State in a few decades.
I was thinking more along the lines of, “I wasn’t born in ’68, why the fuck do I have to relive it?” Looking forward to my vacation (which is all very far away from urban centers) all the more.
Bug out vaycay sounds wonderful.
I gotta getaway from this madness!
We’re debating whether or not to return, once we do leave.
Coming back into the Bay Area in a buddy’s pickup a couple hours ago was surreal. What the fuck did these assholes expect would happen when you shut everything down for a couple months?
They’re using all of that here. We have national guard troops here. Funny, they are all downtown where the peaceful protest is, not at the high end shopping areas where the thieving and beatings are happening.
Makes me wonder how many “Koreans” in California kept their AK’s through all the bans since ’92.
All of them. If I was an undercover, I’d have a serious arrest tally going.
By that, I mean a shit ton of people have shown me stuff that later fell out of a boat.
I have a pretty good idea about the gun culture in CA – I left San Jose before all the bans happened so I know what kind of people had that kind of hardware before – and expect I could guess what the underground scene is like there.
I expect the usual shop owner in or near rough neighborhoods would be properly armed – but I’m pretty sure the actual ethnic Koreans would not be showing off any banned equipment but keeping it out of sight. Many of them grew up in Korea where gun ownership is very restricted so they understand how to keep that on the down low.
Yeah, in ’92 all of this stuff was legal.

I have noticed at a few protests that I have seen personally in the Bay and at other protests for BLM and other lefty causes that the same signs with the same font were being used. A lot of them are from Refuse Fascism, which is an offshoot of the RevComs. They have been purposefully stoking resentment and fueling a lot of these protests for a while now.
The RevComs are dick deep in every ruckus in Chicago.
Reminds me a bit of the standard spiel on an FBI infiltration and take-down of a terrorist cell.
Love the “police-involved death” bit too.
Aight, I gotta try and get more than the hrs sleep I got before I went to work this morning. Peace be with you. NEW CARTOON TUESDAY NIGHT RIGHT HERE ON GLIBS!
Later. *Pats CP on head*
*3hrs of sleep. I really need to get some that.
Goodnight!

Is there a two drink minimum?
I moved my pistols to the bedroom. I’m glad I made a bunch of reloads when the lockdown started.
Good move, this has officially gotten to the next level.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/05/31/anger-games-night-5-sunday-night-riots-open-discussion-thread/
Interesting take.
It’s not far off the mark. The Dems that rule unopposed in these cities have allowed this to fester and grow. They have encouraged it for christsakes. I was fairly sure this would happen with extended lockdowns and here it is right on schedule.
I wouldn’t have guessed the catalyst in a thousand years, but the result isn’t surprising. The only thing left to see is whether these riots fizzle out or whether they gain steam over the next week or two.

All talk or will something actually come of this?
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-william-p-barrs-statement-riots-and-domestic-terrorism
Paraphrasing one comment, now that Antifa rioters are terrorists, if the National Guard goes in, what are the rules of engagement? Wouldn’t that then be considered asymmetric warfare and combatants could be shot on sight?
The point seems to be to declare Antifa a foreign terror organization, what that means is the NSA is off the leash, FISA comes into play, and all the other powers people gave the feds after 9/11 can be used.

Shocking news from Boston news: “one of the business was hit was the Adidas store”. Huh.
Must be a trend. The only store looted in Spokane was a Nike store.
Kicks yo.
Gangs are big fans of Nike. They send in people to hit the stores – not just Niketown but places like Marshall’s, to shoplift the Nike stuff.
Hey, everyone: Balko changed his name, and got a new gig!

I’m surprised we don’t have doctor’s jumping on the racism wagon, applying for grants to see if the can find the white man racist Gene.

Sociologist won’t put up with that competition.
Far enough out from the cities that I don’t think there’s an immediate threat, but I did spend the last 45 minutes adjusting the outside flood lights to illuminate more of the yard and further out than they were.
Also loaded some more magazines.
Jesus H Christ.
Crowd surrounds a vehicle with two adults and a small child and begins threatening them. One occupant apparently used pepper spray and the other fired a warning shot to get the crowd to move back. They then drove off. Police arrested the guy who fired after they reported the incident.

Meanwhile, the crowd which was unlawfully obstructing traffic and walking in the street wasn’t impeded in the least by police. Not in that news story, but the event was planned as “March for Black Lives”. Because police killing or brutalizing non-blacks never happens.
Fuck that town. And the state, for writing legislation that gets enforced like that. And, the DA for accepting the charges.
Just like old times. About twenty years ago, there was a multi year problem with rioting anarchists there, including stopping traffic.

Even the name rubs me the wrong way…”Eugene”.

Cops are cowards. They aren’t going to arrest the mob of thus, they’ll go for the defenseless man trying to keep his family safe
Hell, that article basically sucks protester cock. “Peaceful protesters, who merely tapped on the car’s trunk, are suddenly menaced by A GUN!!! And, the guy who handled it, too, I guess…”
I dunno. The idea that comes to me for cases like this would be a “Super Soaker” rebuilt to spray gasoline. Deploy it on the closest “demonstrators” – without any flames to start with. Once they’ve been doused it would be pretty obvious that they have to back down or risk something much worse.
If going that route, kerosene would be better.
Never fire a ‘warning’ shot. Center
Mass or not at all.
One is either threatened or he is not.
Also note that the castle doctrine is thoughtfully extended to one’s vehicle in many states. Stand your ground states would not project a duty to retreat upon those enjoying the right of way on a public way. In light of these circumstances, it would be unwise to accost persons in a car.
You’re in a two ton vehicle, a gun is superfluous. If you feel threatened floor it.
Last time I hit a deer at ~30mph, my car was totaled and undriveable. Deer are mostly lighter than people. Once you’ve disabled your car running some asshole over, what happens next probably won’t be a lot of fun.
Don’t floor it. Crack all the windows, sound the horn, flash the lights, and take off *slowly*

Mornin’, UCS. How’s life in your neck of the woods?
Quiet. Heat and humidity finally went away.
Yeah, the weather was perfect here over the weekend. I got in lots of back porch time and didn’t even mind doing yard work yesterday.
Off to the office. With any luck, there won’t be any protestors blocking the interstate through downtown.
Just remember to attach a people pusher to the front bumper and load up on carpoons before setting out.
