Interesting parallel with the murder of Austin Metcalf by Karmelo Anthony
Karmleo Anthony was probing security because he was looking to steal; vigilance against line testing is easier than vigilance against the theft that happens when the lines are crossed. Find an unattended area and stealing is easy - the problem is the confrontations that happen when he wanders into areas he doesn't belong but the solution to that is individual overwhelming reactive violence and cultural hostility to anyone who would dare interfere with this theft precursor
The parallels to (D) run elections are pretty clear - they make sure to run them in such a way that the actual cheating is trivial under the rules they demand but they want the legitimacy conferred by running "elections" so they will *line test*
"Can we get away with this?"
Late night ballot dumps, delays in counting, zero audit trails, etc. - all a series of tests - "what can we push as 'accepted practice'?"
Some people foolishly considered this the exactly wrong way - that each escalation of credibility shredding practices would slow them down but instead what it did was establish a new baseline of what would be accepted and expected by some
Oh and SEIU actually runs the California elections and they are a directly interested party and have demonstrated that they are quite willing to view "elections" as a tool to extract money and power from the political system rather than as a way to "measure the sentiment of The People" [or however you want to describe the view of people who believe in "democracy']
when you’re at a baseball tournament and you see the blacks cruising and hunting other squads’ areas it’s to see what they can steal. who has loose bats? cleats? they’ll grab a whole bag and flee. tournament officials find scrap areas (closed off and hidden) where they take their loot to strip it.
karmelo was casing tents, stress testing security. who would stop him? what tents had scared white kids that would look away while he looted?
austin didn’t understand the neoliberal rule that any attempt to correct a black also includes the promise of violence. maybe he did understand and accepted the risk, wanting civilization to continue.
either way it’s his fathers fault for not having the talk with him. your sons and daughters should be told from a very young age that the enemy is here and moves freely. have the talk with them.
No, Keir Starmer will announce mandatory ID checks for all social media in the next two weeks.
Let’s not be naive about what this is really about. They want to be able to track down anons and send the cops round.
Generally the truth wins out in the end. Bad things aren't blessings, good things aren't curses. If you want to convince and persuade, you need to demonstrate you care a lot about the truth: and this goes double for controversial and emotionally-charged subjects.
Agreed, except I don't think there will even be unrest. None of Metcalf's black athletic colleagues were willing to lie against him, and this can be extrapolated to this not being an incident blacks consider worth rioting over.
I would argue some of the most powerful testimony in the Karmelo Anthony trial was when a witness heard the Defendant say: ‘You’re not going to move me. You’re a b*tch.”
At the close of the state’s case, it genuinely appears that the defendant was there it seems, as odd as it would’ve sounded, to provoke or pick a fight. There’s no rational reason that he refused 14 or 15 times when asked to leave. There’s no rational reason that he said what he said. There’s no rational reason why he intentionally brought a knife to a simple school track meet. This is not a case of self-defense.
I have an enormous amount of respect for the defense team. In this case, Mike Howard, and Toby Shook. Their seasoned attorneys and very good men. But I don’t know what they have to work with here.
I predict 35 years. I also predict that there will be a segment of the American community that will never accept any verdict other than a ridiculous not guilty because of how this was unfortunately made into a racial charged case by his supporters and his family. Sadly, there may actually be unrest, alá George Floyd.
@NormanDodd_knew Yeah, agreed.
Two factions are increasingly annoying, those who call it a blessing and those who want to eradicate them all.
At the end of the day, it's still unethical, but I rather be immoral to make my legacy not just raising them for the rest of my life.
Hearing that they blew all the donation $$$ and have to use the public defender now, I guarantee you what happened is this:
- the defendant genuinely, 100% believes this is self-defense based on ghetto "disrespect" mentality. The family believes this also.
- The public defender saw the files and went "holy shit"
- The family refuses to have him change the plea because "he wuz innocent, wyboy lay hands on him!" and the public defender is trapped between a rock and a hard place in the most humiliating case of his career.
Most takes like this don't realize with AI automating all labor, the ultimate act of this is eradicating men entirely.
In all cases, the right ends up worshipping women.
