Gun Free Zone

Lincoln County, Oregon, has exempted non-white people from a new order requiring that face coverings be worn in public — to prevent racial profiling.

Health officials announced last week residents must wear face coverings in public settings where they may come within six feet of another individual who is not from the same household.

But people of color do not have to follow the new rule if they have “heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment” over wearing the masks, officials said.

“No person shall intimidate or harass people who do not comply,” health officials said.

Oregon county issues face mask order that exempts non-white people

And still shit is gonna get political. Somebody is gonna come around to say thee don’t want black people with the face covered so they can be easily identifiable. And God Forbids somebody of color is paranoid enough about the flu that want to wear a mask for his protection and people will look at him  and wonder why is he covering his/her face.

Atlanta Police warned CBS46 and other news outlets that there is a group of armed people surrounding the Wendy’s and they are forcing white people out.

Video posted to social media over the weekend shows a crowd of people surrounding a police officer near the Wendy’s telling him to get out of the area.

“Go home. He looks like you. No white cops,” a person told police.

“Get your white face out of here,” another person told police.

CBS46 was advised not to send white reporters and photographers to the area.

“It’s not safe for no white people out here,” a person told police.

I don’t know if laugh at these idiots or feel pity for Civil Rights champions.

The irony of segregating themselves into an area cannot be understated. But there is a silver lining in the clouds: At least we know where the assholes gather in the wild.

Seattle Protesters Set up Barricades, Prepare to Defend CHOP From Police

Protesters in Seattle’s Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP) zone are  preparing to defend the area from police after the city’s mayor announced plans to dismantle it in the wake of back-to-back shootings.

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said police would soon move back into a precinct building that had been abandoned and taken over by protesters who formed the police-free zone, originally dubbed the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), earlier this month.

Durkan didn’t provide a timeline for clearing out the area, but said “additional steps” would be looked at if protesters do not leave voluntarily.

Pictures posted by one Twitter user showed barricades that have been put up around the East Precinct building. “People are waiting for cops to show up,” the user noted.

“We’re not leaving until our demands are met,” a sign posted outside the precinct building says.

We’ve seen that the protesters have guns.  Apparently lots of them.

The question is: how willing are they to use them and how willing are the police to resist.

Will Seattle send in SWAT if officers come under fire from Antifa with AR-15s?

Will Seattle be willing to stack up bodies of plate carrier wearing Marxists?

Whose will will be broken first?

I’m curious to see it.  Either way, I expect this to end poorly.

Let’s talk about history for a second.

Freak shows or side show attraction.

Today they are universally condemned as cruel and barbaric.

But before the days of Social Security Disability, large charities, and modern hospitals and hospices, what did you do with people who had severe birth defects and were unable to work?

Many suffered in poverty. Some became dependent on the charity of local churches, some begged in the streets.

Others joined the circus and became rich and famous, with the circus paying for the best doctors to care for them.

If you went back in time and eliminated the side show without creating all sorts of other social safety nets, all you did was condemn these people to suffering in destitution.

There are clearly many things in history that were pure atrocities with no redeeming characteristics.

Other things are a mix of good and bad.

This is an almost impossible circle to square by the aggressive application of modern absolutist morality to past time.

Understanding that history “is complicated” isn’t a euphemism.  It’s fact. How to address it will require wisdom and nuance, not the blunt tool of bumper sticker rhetoric.

From New York Magazine:

Demonstrators in Lafayette Park outside the White House attempted to remove a statue of Andrew Jackson, a slaveowner and Trump’s favorite president https://t.co/fPIkMfolmL

Why did they write this?  Because Trump defended defending the statue from vandals.

Numerous people arrested in D.C. for the disgraceful vandalism, in Lafayette Park, of the magnificent Statue of Andrew Jackson, in addition to the exterior defacing of St. John’s Church across the street. 10 years in prison under the Veteran’s Memorial Preservation Act. Beware!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 23, 2020

Jackson was a piece of shit.  He massacred Indians by the thousands, caused the trail of tears, destroyed the Seminoles, set up the foundation for the Civil War, and his longest lasting crime against humanity, created the Democratic Party.

He also kicked the British out of the US for good after 1812 and opened up the frontier for westward expansion and made the state of Florida possible.

History is complicated.

But what really irks me is that WE DO NOT LET VANDALS DESTROY WHAT THEY DO NO LIKE.

This is a representative democracy, if you don’t like a statue, tell your Congressman/Congresswoman and submit a bill to have it removed.

Obeying the law isn’t that fucking hard.

But in 2020, respecting the law and stopping the destruction of Federal property means you love a slave owner.

Nuance is dead.  The mob killed it.

Right now they are lynching statues.  Next they will lynch people for not wanting to see statues destroyed.

The media should understand that but they push The Narrative instead.

This will end in bloodshed. At this point I see no way back without it.

Denver’s public school system is officially ending its relationship with the Denver Police Department (DPD). The district’s school board voted unanimously this week to remove police from all schools by next year in order to undo “the systemic racism that Black children and children of color face.”

The Board of Education’s Wednesday decision to terminate its contract with the DPD comes amid weeks of protests against police brutality, sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The district plans to phase police out of schools gradually, removing all officers by June 2021.

And all the way from Hell, they approve this idiocy.

One Roosevelt went to war to liberate the last colony of Spain in the Americas with a group of volunteers he formed that included Whites Indians and Hispanics, rich and poor, Northerners and Southerners. Their most famous battle was proudly side by side with the famous Buffalo Soldiers, known black warriors in uniform. He went on t become President and among many other things, invited Booker T. Washington to the White House and defended the first black female Postmaster from racist assholes that wanted her gone and threw the power of the Attorney General against those threatening her. Brokered peace talks between Russia and Japan ending the war among them and pushed Germany’s and England’s Navies out of the Caribbean while they were seeking ways to establish colonies or protectorates in the area.

The other Roosevelt sent a whole race to concentration camps.

Guess who is getting a statue removed?

You need the mind of a Leftist, a Democrat to accept such idiocy with a straight face even after you suffered their politics. You will not only not Culture Cancel it but actively support it like you were suffering a long-standing case of Stockholm Syndrome
