  1. Lol commies are a hoax?
  2. This is my guess as well, but I'm aware it's a guess.
  3. Someone gonna get chopped into bits there. Right @Joe in Winslow ?
  4. Looks like a white supremacist.
  5. Elisabeth Shue?
  6. Do you remember if Ellison was here at the same time as Brad Butler? Butler leaned more to the right and had political aspirations that I'm not sure went anywhere. Butler was a little bit better of a player.
  7. I get that this all started in Minnesota and that it is happening all over the country but are we certain the Buffalo stuff is cut from the same cloth? Is it merely a coincidence that this is happening right after we found out Jason Botterill will be back for another year?
  8. If we can just bottle an 8 minute span in November and play like that every minute all year..... Did you know that the Orioles beat both the Yankees and Red Sox last year? If the baseball season starts....watch out for them birds.
  9. Nice broad brush. In real life Elmo chooses the apple millions of times a day.
  10. Each individual case is an individual case. We may find information indicating this was racial, personal, birth or neither. The end result is a tragedy as is the rioting response. The ahole cop woke up one morning and by the end of the day started this ball rolling.
  11. If the guy had a heart attack because he panicked because someone had a knee on his neck, the cop still needs the book thrown at him. I get that determining what constitutes "the book" is determined by all of the circumstances. I understand why it took four days. To me if the guy had 7 heart conditions and was high as a kite, the officer's actions still cause his death. The seemingly established fact that he kept kneeling on the guy's neck for almost three minutes after no pulse could be found is something beyond my comprehension.
  12. Just spitballing here. What if the Guard, Cops, FBI, whoever shoot protesters but only protesters committing violence and only white ones. This will send the protestors home without stirring any further racial tension. All we lose are a few commies, hippies and B-Rads. Just an idea. I haven't thought it all the way through.
  13. And the desire to travel through more poop than necessary leads me to believe he was feeling guilty about something and self assigning penance. Maybe he killed his wife after all.
  14. There are two primary reasons: 1. Societies change very slowly. Today's move faster than they did in ancient times but they're still slow. This is sad for individual people; we get about 80 years and while it would be nice to expect everything to be fixed by year 80 it is unrealistic. Individuals can change but not all do. It would be swell to think that a nice conversation could change every bigot into a self actualized fair person but it doesn't. Maybe it could change greedy people into philanthropists or power hungry politicians into altruistic champions. It's unrealistic to expect these things and judging people by those standards does not engender improvements, it causes strife and conflict. People all should be held to the rule of law and judged against that and that alone. Judgement beyond that is the big man's job. 2. Collectivist attempts to force changes to the above have set us back. Whether they are misguided good intentions like the welfare state taking fathers out of homes or charalatans fomenting proletariat revolutions to get power for themselves and strip freedom from people, they are harmful. There are more reasons too but IMO the two above are the top 2. There are still bigots and this cop might be one. Maybe he killed the guy because he was black or maybe he is just an ahole who would have done the same to a white guy. Things like this will happen again. Some will be interpreted correctly as racially based and some will be interpreted incorrectly. Trying to force unreasonable expectations for everything to be daisies and gumdrops because that is a desirable outcome, results in these riots. This does not mean that we should accept events like what happened in Minny. We shouldn't. But the response should be law based and everyone should understand that all responses will always be law based.
  15. Venmo me $2M which gives you a lifetime supply and early entry entry into our multi level marketing structure modeled after the Luxor in Vegas. It's called DeLux which is short for Dendrite Luxor. How many bald friends do you have? How many normal friends?
  16. Don't quit your day job. HairGenie sounds like a cross between a ripoff of a diaper garbage can and some chick curling iron. Hair4GeneGene4Hair has a 3 Musketeers vibe and works GeneGene in the middle so I might claim it improves dancing skills too.
  17. Two Sheas. My first thought was Gene4hair or HairGene but it sounded too targeted. Now I realize Eugene and genetics both shorten to gene and I'm thinking it might be go time.
  18. At least they're going to a doctor. If one savvy marketing department comes out with a product called Grogaine you'll be broke in twenty minutes.
  19. Don't complicate it. Just substitute an unproven but anecdotally successful cure for baldness that doesn't do any harm. WWGFD?
  20. That might not actually be about a gun.
  21. I'll go ahead and recommend "Hinterland" on Netflix. It is a British police drama. Some may see it as a slower moving European Bosch. There are more differences than similarities but it is well written with a lot of tension. Not a lot of action and it's understated but the stories are very good. Give it a chance.
  22. When should the violent protests end? When all the buildings in Minny are burned to the ground? When do you think they should end?
  23. Yes but he is bald and angry now.
  24. I read something, I believe from the documents charging him, that when another officer couldn't get a pulse, the accused cop maintained pressure on the guy's neck for another 2 and a half minutes. Not that any other part of this looks good at all, but that part is beyond disgusting and I can't imagine any circumstance that could possibly introduce any nuance whatsoever to that. They need to charge the guy with the right offenses and make them stick. They need to dig for every possible charge and pile them on. Does the above qualify as desecration of a corpse? Every single thing needs to be charged but they can't overcharge...maybe murder 1 is an overcharge maybe not.....because every charge needs conviction....he can't get acquitted on anything. The protests that include violence are not justified. They are not. I think people swept up in the chaos and committing impulsive acts, are one thing and it is impractical to go after them. If they can somehow identify groups organizing these things......that needs follow up.
