Quoterioters in dallas beat the shit out of a store owner outside his shop.

Don't know about the rest of them, but that one was proven wrong. That guy brought a giant ass knife, started screaming at protesters and chasing them, then got the shit beat out of him. He wasn't a store owner or anything, just a mental idiot.

Dallas PD has yet to confirm he is a storeowner, and no one else seems to confirm it either.

And either way, he chased a protester around with a giant ass knife, that's literally asking to get the shit beat out of you.

if there are conflicting reports and one of those reports is the daily mail, then it's generally safe to go with the other report

I can say the exact same about anything reported by BuzzFeed.

More released about the guy, he was defending a bar he liked from the riots and probably drunk wanted to scare protestors with his sword. He admits it was a stupid move to do what he did now.

Looks like we are heading towards martial law.

https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2020/06/01/watch-live-president-trump-makes-statement-amid-nationwide-policy-brutality-protests/

You want civil war, you get one.  Not a smart thing to want ;-(  Federalizing the National Guard is no more martial law than the LA riots federalized in 1992.  Which coincidentally was also against a Republican president.  Think maximum Covid lockdown like in Wuhan.  That is martial law.  You have to have a dictatorship already in place.  If some people thought that the arrest of Barak Obama, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton were doing to be arrested shortly, it explains why this happened now, rather than with recent previous police brutality cases.  Not that I know that those three violated any law at all.  The law is ... so complicated.  Personally I blame Jeffrey Epstein ;-)  Alive and well in Tel Aviv?

On the other hand, a Chinese attempt at world conquest is ... crazy aggressive.  A lot like the Japanese in the 1930s.  The Japanese kept thinking everyone would bow to them, and if they didn't, they just kept doubling down.  Japanese and Han Chinese have the same notion of grievance against the West, and racial superiority.  Modern China is the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity realized.  With Emperor Xi, not Emperor Hirohito.

Riots finally hit my hometown, even though it's in the arse end of nowhere. Whole thing's taken on a life of its own now.

Take care.

Rioters, looters and other criminals ... are all mental idiots.

And now y'all are spamming headlines ;-)  Doom porn.  Cthulhu will arise shortly!

How about the man with the bow? I wonder if he is alive. There was nothing on him yesterday. I couldn't find anything yesterday. It was so depressing.

I cleaned the posts.

wanted to go into a long reply, but I've realized looking at your other posts it won't be worth doing so.

Did that look like an invitation for conversation to you? I told you please not to repeat yourself.

Utah man with bow (nut case) was beaten by bystanders and charged by the police two days ago.  I have to think I prefer a gun shot to a hunting arrow (ow!).

Old joke ... two ants are talking to each other.  One says to the other "the humans are all dead, now ants inherit the world!" .. the other one replies "red ants or black ants?".

1. A VPN protects your data. Keeps hackers from getting your information and stealing your identity.

2. It allows you to trick the internet into thinking you're someplace else, allowing you to see things you can't normally see. Usually, people do this to watch The Office on Netflix, but now, apparently it allows us to see what is being supressed from American media.

I don't get it. Netflix doesn't even work if VPN is on. What is more, what is not available to you is not available to anyone else. I don't think this particular censorship works this way.

Otherwise, anyone in power would love to show America bad and especially him. I have never seen anything like it. There is nothing specific about the events but just the mainstream stuff. But then I don't have personal social media.

Different protocols are allowed in a comm channel.  If Netflix isn't allowed in a VPN, that is because it has the wrong signature.  I don't know that for sure, that VPN blocks Netflix, but it might vary by nation etc.

You weren't alive in the 1960s.  It can get much worse.  Regular riots every Summer by the usual suspects.  Demonstrations every Fall and Spring by the other suspects.  I kind of wish nuclear war had gone ahead in 1962.

The propaganda is thick, but not very impressive.  Hitler and Stalin laugh.

I thought it is because the existence of VPN means something illegal might be going on. It is illegal here.

They killed a young kurdish man yesterday and I don't believe anything about it.
