I have mentioned I do not like monkeys.
They are nasty creatures. And you have to admit that a monkey on a bike trying to steal a kid rates high on the animal scum factor and is the weirdest thing you will probably see today.
A prediction from V for Vandetta?
This video has made its way around the internet, of an NYPD officer hulking out against some people for violating social distancing.
IS THIS #NYPD BRUTALITY OR NOT? We report, you decide. This happened on Ave D and 9th St, in the #LowerEastSide of #Manhattan on Saturday – @NYCMayor @NYPDnews pic.twitter.com/0pTDTat17S

From the New York Daily News:
SEE IT: NYPD cop making arrest for social distancing violation punches and takes down bystander
An NYPD cop making an arrest in the East Village for a social distancing violation threatened a bystander with a Taser and then punched him to the ground, startling video shows.
The video, which has spread quickly on social media, shows officers making an arrest on 9th St. and Avenue D just after 5:30 p.m. Saturday when one cop gets up, draws his Taser and approaches a bystander while yelling, “Move the f–k back right now… Don’t flex.”
The mayhem began when cops approached a group not following social distancing mandates aimed at curbing the spread of coronavirus.
The officer found marijuana in the group, which is the only reason why this isn’t a bigger deal than it is.
I was talking to a buddy about this and he was reminded of this scene from the movie V for Vendetta:
The curve has flattened across most of America.
The weather is getting nicer and people are tired of being locked inside for a month.
People want life to return to normal, or at least some sort of mostly normal.
Politicians drunk on emergency power and moving the goalposts at a running clip are dropping the boot harder each day.
Eventually, someone is going to do something dumb, like a cop shooting and killing some dad for playing catch with his kids in a park.
I think that is when shit will break loose and anti-lockdown protests will turn into anti-lockdown riots.
We’re not at the breaking point yet, but harassing people with drones, driving people from public places in helicopters, and beating up citizens for standing to close to each other is a very bad path for us to be on.
The American Boogaloo or Independence Day 2.0 – July 4, 2020
I read Miguel’s post Oregon will remain shut down till July 6th.
I did some internet searching and saw these headlines.
From the Federal Government:
Pence Warns Coronavirus Disruptions Could Last ‘Well Into July’
In Ohio:
Northside’s Fourth of July Parade is Canceled Due to the Coronavirus
This will be the first time in 50 consecutive years that the annual parade will not be held. The Rock N’ Roll Carnival is canceled, too.
Coronavirus forces cancellation of Woodville Fourth of July Celebration
In Chicago:
Suburbs Cancel Memorial Day, Fourth of July Celebrations Over Coronavirus Crisis
In Pennslyvania:
This headline is scary:
FOURTH of July celebrations are being scrapped across the nation, as government models show coronavirus cases could see a spike again in the summer if lockdown measures are lifted too soon.
The U.S. Government models warn of the second possible peak mid-summer, over June and July if social distancing measures are lifted prematurely.
As cities fear more COVID-19 outbreaks, 4th of July celebrations around the U.S. are being canceled – even though they are nearly three months away.
This one is worse:
San Diego County’s stay-at-home order to be indefinite, as officials lean on state guidance
San Diego leaders said Wednesday that the county’s stay-at-home order will be extended indefinitely, as they lean on the state for guidance on reopening.
This headline from Maryland is absolutely terrifying:
With 4th of July events already being canceled, warnings about a second summer spike, and models saying that the virus will peak in July, it’s not unreasonable to suspect that Oregon will be the first of many places to maintain the lockdown through the 4th of July.
Michigan’s Governor Ilsa She Wolf of the SS Gretchen Whitmer just extended the state’s stay-at-home order until the end of May. This may be the model other states use, incrementally extending their lockdown until they’ve eaten up Independence day.
Here is where I see this shit heading south in a hurry.
Most of the lockdown orders were issued at the beginning of April. By the 4th of July, people will have been locked down for about three months.
One month after the lockdown, we are seeing protests and black market haircuts. Cities and states are responding by cracking down even harder, threatening people will arrest for violating the stay-at-home.
I can only imagine how much more stir crazy and on-edge people will be if they’ve been locked down by July.
Independence Day is the most ‘Murican of holidays. It is a day where we celebrate our freedom from tyranny, eat meat that has been cooked over an open fire, and blow shit up for fun.
I know more than a few people who spend at least some part of their 4th of July planting freedom seeds in a berm.
What I foresee is a state or states under lockdown on Independence Day. The weather being absolutely beautiful. People decide to try and enjoy the 4th the way they always have. They set up a grill, maybe have some fireworks (either black market or some leftover from previous celebrations), and have a nice time.
Some fucking Karen rats them out for not staying under lockdown on Independence Day.
A couple of cops with bad attitudes show up to break up the Independence Day celebrations and try to arrest people for grilling burgers outside on the 4th of July.
This escalates until violence happens and shots are fired.
American citizens get killed by police for being outside having a barbecue on the 4th of July because the government said people have to stay at home.
The next protest like the one in Michigan, the one to protest killing Americans on the 4th of July for enjoying a modicum of freedom doesn’t end peacefully.
Now it’s on.
I know this sounds far fetched to some, but you cannot shut people up inside for three months then arrest them for trying to enjoy the 4th of July and expect it to go well. I think that will be the breaking point.
California to New Jersey: hold my fascist beer
New Jersey breaking up crowds with drones isn’t enouh of a jack booted waste of money.
California had to go all out with helicopters to drive people from the beaches, in the nice warm sun.

Now I see why California outlawed the 50 BMG.
Elizabeth NJ PD can’t contain the lies
Damn, talk about using and old and trite expression that for gun owners painfully know it means “We are about to f*** with you and we will enjoy it.”
Oh yes, posting a video while saying you are not recording video is kinda shooting yourself in the foot which contains more brain matter than the skull of whomever posted this tweet.
The predictable happens in California
First story:
Third-Striker Charged With Attacking Irvine Police Officer 5 Days After Being Released On $0 Bail
A third-striker was charged with attacking an Irvine police officer while allegedly breaking into a business, just days after being released from jail on $0 bail by an appointed court commissioner who is under fire for releasing seven high-risk sex offenders recently.
Russell Paul Parson, 39, of Los Angeles, was released from jail on April 14 on his own recognizance after pleading not guilty to a felony count each of burglary and theft with a prior theft of a vehicle.
Officials say it was just five days later that Parsons attacked an Irvine police officer who was responding to a silent alarm at a commercial business.
Second story:
California man arrested 3 times in a day, given citations and released due coronavirus restrictions
A man in California was arrested three times over the course of 12 hours on Wednesday — including for allegedly leading officers on a pursuit — and was only given citations and released each time due to the statewide zero-bail policy amid the coronavirus outbreak, according to officials.
The Glendora Police Department said Friday on Facebook that 24-year-old Dijon Landrum from Monterey Park racked up three citations between 8:28 a.m. and 8:50 p.m. on Wednesday after three incidents in the city located about 23 miles east of Los Angeles.
According to police, the first incident happened around 8:28 a.m. when officers responding to a call of a man who was attempting to break into a vehicle on the 1400 block of South Grand Avenue.
When officers arrived at the scene, they contacted Landrum, who was attempting to drive away in a stolen vehicle from the East Los Angeles area. In addition to driving a stolen vehicle, police said the 24-year-old had stolen property and narcotics with him.
One hour after Landrum was released, officers received a call around 2:20 p.m. of an unknown man carrying a box and walking through the front yards of homes.
When officers arrived on the scene, they encountered Landrum for the second time, reportedly with a box of stolen property. He was issued a second citation and released.
Several hours later around 8:50 p.m., officers received a call of a vehicle that had been stolen out of a parking lot on the 1300 block of South Grand Avenue.
When a state essentially legalizes crime, criminals will take advantage of that by committing all the crime their heart’s desire.
Any rational human being could have seen this coming.
Not government officials in the State of California. Either they didn’t see it coming or they did and had no problem with it.
And the Left wonders why people have been buying guys by the millions during the Coronacrisis.
Who wants to bet me that when this ends (assuming that it does in Democrat-run places like California) the powers that be will say that there is such a backlog of summons, situations, and warrants issued during the Coronacrisis that it would be impossible to enforce them all and that they all should be expunged or just sort of waved away?
Go to the beach on a nice day, get arrested for violating an unconstitutional stay-at-home order. Steal three cars in 12 hours like you’re LARPing Gone in 60 Seconds and you get a walk.
Welcome to California, the shithole state.
Tyrant tells you that nice weather is a danger
New York City SS-Gruppenführer Bill de Blasio said that people enjoying the nice weather outside in New York City will be arrested.
Forecast highs in the 70s on Saturday and Sunday present a “danger” if cooped-up New York City residents venture outside without masks, crowd public spaces and ignore social distancing measures meant to stop coronavirus, said the mayor.
“The nice weather is very much a threat to us,” de Blasio said on WNYC Friday.
“There’s nothing wrong with going out and getting some exercise and getting back home,” he added. “Go out for a little bit, but don’t go out for too much. Don’t gather, don’t try and do the things we would normally do on a beautiful spring day.”
Going to work crushed into an underground tube filled with stagnant air or stayed shut up into a hermetically sealed building with air recycled through a central HVAC is the preferred activity to being outside in the breeze and DNA destroying UV sunlight.
The first casualty of tyranny is quality of life.
