Stack up silver, cash and 6 months of food by December.

As seen in Chicago looting happens. If 1 or 2 grocery ...

Apart from some crazies, the demand is not to get rid of the police, but to (a) make them more accountable (b) stop asking them to do things which they are not trained to do (c) not equip them like an occupying army.

So, I'd take minor issue with the use of 'crazies' to mean 'people who've maybe ...

What do they think those bad cops are going to do once they are unemployed and have no department to slow them down.



Well, not be able to murder people without facing legal consequences, for one thing. I'm curious how qualified immunity and having a union that fights for your right to terrorize ...

I guess were I to tell my kid "There's nothing I like about you," that would be harsh (and also not true, even hypothetically speaking) but there's more direct ways to convey that something is a murder and requires top-down reform to ensure that it doesn't happen. It's a weirdly neutral way of ...

Yeah, hydroxychloroquine doesn't work and the right wing sound machine's focus on pretending like it does to make Dear Leader happy has direct health consequences even for those not susceptible to meme science, since people who think they're invulnerable to CV aren't going to take precautions needed ...

Agreed, good article about the problems sometimes caused by the state and city police in the USA being too soft on rioters.

In a nearly 1,700-word statement, Mr Wolf blamed state and city authorities for failing to "restore order". He said ...

I think the fact that Florida and Arizona are the new American hotspots kinda runs in the face of the "sun kills it" idea...

1. It's not justice until they get jail time. Her family better not be paying for their pensions, neither.
2. I think jimbo was making an oblique reference to the fact that some people object to using American sources for international news.

Resisting arrest isn't a capital offense, dude. A man running away with a taser is not...

Define “immediate”... because depending on how you define that I may agree or disagree.

Ok. So I saw the video of the police shooting in Atlanta. I'm going to be straight up. I'm a miltary veteran. And have been on both sides of the law. I have been arrested 5 times, no violent crimes. I am a 2 time convicted felon and everytime I got in trouble it was my own doings. Nobody made me ...

A world where mental health is performed by funded mental health professionals, not cops with an incentive to focus on punishment instead of treatment. A world where conflict resolution involves people not trained to use a legal monopoly on the use of force to solve problems. Where violent crime is ...

As soon as S Korea realised it had more than just a small handful of cases among international travellers it immediately banned all mass gatherings and events, shut its schools etc. The growth of new cases in South Korea has not quite flatlined but has completely dropped off. This is in contrast to ...

To be fair, ever heard of the spanish flu?

The WHO's guidelines for naming new diseases say that naming them after a country or region should be avoided. Same for naming them after people or animals. Doing so creates an unnecessary stigma attached to whichever place/person/animal the disease is ...

Yes. Although I'm not sure if the cost of the fix exceeds the cost of the potential problem.

What do you think the USD value of someone's granny's life is?

Not to mention that once we start running out of healthcare capacity, it won't just be people's grandparents dying.

I mean, South Korea did it too, only with a less intrusive security state.

I find it interesting that the hardest hit American.states all didn't vote Trump in 2016.

Coincidence?

China is locking down 7 cities and building a hospital to hold 1,000 patients IN 6 DAYS. Is this a big deal?

Facebook is apparently using the far left wing "fact checker" Politifact. They wanted to remind me that an old post I made about the Clinton body count is clearly false because no evidence has been found (because everyone who had that evidence was killed by the Clintons, duh).

No dude. Zorro wrote that point that truckers have their finger on the political pulse of the country. Hoping he'd explain. Guess not :lol:

I would have, and seeing as Republicans spent 3 years trying to figure out if Obama was born in the United States (with no proof, mind you), I'm skeptical that the Republicans would have been ok with Obama doing actual crimes.
