YOU ARE FULL OF S***!” | CAUGHT ON CAMERA: A 65-year-old woman became aggressive with a Cashion police officer, kicking him and resisting arrest, after she refused to sign a $80 ticket for a broken tail light.
I think we are reaching (or have reached) the level where any special consideration for women is pretty much gone. The attitude of “I can get away with it” followed by the surprised face when they really don’t and end up in a ton of crap is just precious. And for trying to escape a $80 ticket, the lady is facing 5 years in prison just on kicking the cop.
I don’t have to repeat the story of gun control in Venezuela. They voted and got a government that proposed a general disarmament, volunteer and not so volunteer turning in of weapons in private hands and nasty penalties for any gun crime. But you I know that is not the solution to “gun violence” and Venezuelans are getting not a taste, but a full 7 course meal on the unintended consequences of trusting the government with their safety.
Altagracia de Orituco is s small town some 50 mile SE Caracas way down in the boonies. It should be a quiet place, but unfortunately it is actually ran by a local criminal gang who apparently fear nobody because there is nobody to fear.
And also do not forget that criminal gangs roaming the streets and keeping unarmed people sacred inside their houses serves as a “pacifier.” Juan and Maria will not bitch much and go out to bang pots and pans complaining about the lack of freedom and lack of food if there is a chance they would be mow down by criminals.
The New York case concerned people who have licenses to possess guns at home, known as “premises” licenses, and already are allowed to take unloaded guns to shooting ranges within New York City. The plaintiffs said the city’s rules forbidding them from taking their guns to ranges or other homes outside city limits amounted to a “draconian” transport ban in violation of the Second Amendment.
Premises licenses are different from “carry” licenses, which give holders broader freedom to take guns outside the home and are not at issue in the case.
Theoretically, the court could pull a Roe v. Wade and legislate from the bench, essentially go all Moore v. Madigan on New York and force them to adopt some sort of shall-issue concealed carry. That would be awesome but would be highly unlikely.
But you can see why CNN and Senator Murphy’s serious misstatement of what the court decision entails got my hopes up.
What is amazing about this clip is just how wrong a news anchor and a US Senator can be in whole 98 seconds.
Forgive me if I don’t think that a Progressive Democratic Senator from Connecticut has any idea what our Founding Fathers thought about gun rights.
The words are very clear:
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
I don’t know how to make that any clearer.
Then again, when I read:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech
I don’t get forcing nuns to pay for abortions or banning hate speech out of those words the way Democrats do.
I’m pretty sure our Founding Fathers would have preferred gun laws circa 1933 where you can have a machine gun delivered to your door out of the Sears catalog than what Connecticut has now.
Lastly, semi-auto AK-47s only in Iraq and Afghanistan?
There was so much bullshit in that clip that AOC would have it banned by the Green New Deal.
Ans hypocrite also. My brain, with a slight delay, reminded me of an episode of his most famous show Homicide: Life on the Street episode (season 1, episode 9) – Night of the Dead Living. One of the subplots is that the detectives, doing a night shift without air conditioning in the Baltimore summer, find a baby inside a cage in the basement of the precinct.
Their emotions run the gamut. From wanting to start a lynching party to utmost care for the baby. It is finally found out that the baby belongs to a young woman who does the night cleaning and the reason she put the baby in the cage was so the rats would not bite him.
Simon made millions portraying Baltimore a third world shithole country. But God forbids the President happens to tell the truth, and he loses his shit getting all high and mighty. Possibly because Trump messed with his Plantation.
The report they were making was simply people admitting that “Bawlmer” is indeed a crime-ridden rat’s nest, but that the President was harsh saying it.
I think that rat was a Klan member…. not sure. Now, if you excuse me…
? When we talk water, we discuss Flint ? When we talk air, we discuss BX asthma ⛑ When we talk coal, we fight for miners’ pensions ?? When we talk abt just transitions, we honor Native people ??? When we talk economics, we center working people & families https://t.co/rZQsj1EDKk
Just Transition is a vision-led, unifying and place-based set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy. This means approaching production and consumption cycles holistically and waste-free. The transition itself must be just and equitable; redressing past harms and creating new relationships of power for the future through reparations. If the process of transition is not just, the outcome will never be. Just Transition describes both where we are going and how we get there.
We must build visionary economy that is very different than the one we now are in. This requires stopping the bad while at the same time as building the new. We must change the rules to redistribute resources and power to local communities. Just transition initiatives are shifting from dirty energy to energy democracy, from funding highways to expanding public transit, from incinerators and landfills to zero waste, from industrial food systems to food sovereignty, from gentrification to community land rights, from military violence to peaceful resolution, and from rampant destructive development to ecosystem restoration. Core to a just transition is deep democracy in which workers and communities have control over the decisions that affect their daily lives.
Some of that sounds like eco-babble. If we dig into it a little more it seems like it is going to incorporate a lot of technology for recycling and improving efficiency.
I have no idea what that has specifically to do with “honor[ing] Native people.”
After centuries of global plunder, the profit-driven industrial economy rooted in patriarchy and white supremacy is severely undermining the life support systems of the planet. Transition is inevitable. Justice is not.
To liberate the soil and to liberate our souls we must decolonize our imaginations, remember our way forward and divorce ourselves from the comforts of empire. We must trust that deep in our cultures and ancestries is the diverse wisdom we need to navigate our way towards a world where we live in just relationships with each other and with the earth.
Oh… I forgot.
Progressives are viciously racist.
This is all about the idea of the Noble Savage and that Native people are magically more in-tune with Mother Earth or something because they used every part of the buffalo.
I get it now.
This is a policy of Progressives afflicted with White Savior Syndrome employing weapons-grade patronizing racism assuming Natives Americas are magic.
It’s kind of fascinating to see in real-time how awful these people are while they believe that they are so good.
