I know some people don’t like raccoons. They tend to get into garbage cans and scatter stuff about, making a mess. But… I’m sorry, just no. NO.

VIDEO: BLM Supporters Run Over, Beat Raccoon to Death

Warning: the video there is no freakin’ joke. Whether you like trash pandas or not, what these “people” do to this animal is unconscionable.They don’t just kill this animal, they cause it great and extended pain… and fear. And they – a sizable group – laugh gleefully as this happens. They take pleasure not in the killing of an animal for the food or resources it can provide, or as a way to defend against a dangerous predator… no, their pleasure comes from the pain and fear they inflict on a creature that they get under their power. The guy who filmed it – and laughed about it – then goes on to use the video to *support* BLM. I don’t generally want to link to images and/or videos of animal abuse, but here it’s important to know what kind of people are out there. It has long been known that those who abuse animals often go on to abuse humans. What these “protestors” do to this raccoon they will soon try to do to *you.* I would be utterly unsurprised if it turns out that one or more of those involved have already attempted murder or succeeded at it.

There is a lust for bloodshed and pain and violence here that should not be ignored and cannot be understood by civilized, intelligent people. Don’t assume that it’ll be sated with the screams of a small creature, or with the flames of an unoccupied business.

Anyone think PETA will take them on, and do so effectively?

Athletes No Longer Playing Games: Historic Moment in Sports as Teams, Players Protest Racial Injustice by Refusing to Take Court, Field

It seems sportsball-playing millionaires are deciding to take a little extra time off, and are using rare incidents as an excuse. My favorite quote from the piece:

Tennis champion Naomi Osaka, whose father is Haitian and mother is Japanese but has lived in the U.S. since she was three, took to Twitter to announce she would not compete in the semifinal of the Western & Southern Open Thursday saying “continued genocide of Black people at the hand of police is honestly making me sick to my stomach.”

“Genocide.” That’s awesome.

What do you want to be that they still want to get *paid?* Maybe the thing to do is for people to simply decide to set professional sports aside for, oh, three or four years. Wipe the slate clean, let it sit fallow for a few years, start fresh in a few years. Same with Star Trek.

Chants of “Death to America.” On American streets.

And here’s your “maybe reconsider your vote for Biden” video for the day:

EDIT: The original YouTube video was removed by the uploader. Don’t know why. But here’s a news article on the subject:

New Jersey police department sends 18-year-old BLM organizer a $2,500 overtime bill for security cost at her 40-person protest

ORIGINAL POST (based on the now-deleted video):

The city has a law on the books allowing it to bill for police services for private events… which this would seem to have been.

Money quote:

“I was shocked when I read that I had to pay to exercise my first amendment rights.”

Huh.

She also has a *second* amendment right. One wonders if she’d be shocked that the government won’t just *give* her a gun, that she has to pay for bullets and targets and training and range time.

 

Also: those arrested and convicted of rioting and looting should, as part of their sentences, be fined for the costs of restocking looted stores, rebuilding burned-out buildings. A lifetime bill of a few million dollars might be a bit of a disincentive to being a violent destructive jackass. Similarly, crowd funding efforts to support convicted rioters/looters should be leined-upon.

NEWS UPDATE:

Englewood Cliffs mayor rescinds $2,500 bill sent to teen organizer of Black Lives Matter rally

So, now you can monopolize the police at no cost to you.

Advocacy of criminality

This is an informative and interesting read… an interview with a left winger who advocates *for* looting, including the looting of small businesses. Including the trashing and destruction of small grocery stores in food deserts. because the author is not only evil, she’s a fricken’ *moron.* She believes that looting is just a fair way to redistribute stuff that those people deserve, and that every time they destroy a business, the business will simply restock for the next time.

And the reason that the world is organized that way, obviously, is for the profit of the people who own the stores and the factories. So you get to the heart of that property relation, and demonstrate that without police and without state oppression, we can have things for free.

Riiiiiiiiiight.

One Author’s Argument ‘In Defense Of Looting’

The author has all the very latest, most leftie-approved notions. Looting is ok, because the word “loot” was appropriated by white people from brown people. Looting is ok, because it destroys even the basic *idea* of owning property, because “property” is white supremacy.

Looting strikes at the heart of property, of whiteness and of the police. It gets to the very root of the way those three things are interconnected. And also it provides people with an imaginative sense of freedom and pleasure and helps them imagine a world that could be. And I think that’s a part of it that doesn’t really get talked about—that riots and looting are experienced as sort of joyous and liberatory.

Cthulhu nods approvingly.

But looters and rioters don’t attack private homes. They don’t attack community centers. In Minneapolis, there was a small independent bookstore that was untouched. All the blocks around it were basically looted or even leveled, burned down. And that store just remained untouched through weeks of rioting.

I do wonder about whether a business that gets looted after this can sue *her* for damages. I wonder about suing NPR and her publisher for giving her a platform.

Another Rittenhouse update

A video worth watching:

The narrative that he’s a murderer sure seems ill-supported by the facts.

Bonus round:

Nick Sandmann’s Attorney Lin Wood Takes 17-Year-Old Kenosha Shooter Kyle Rittenhouse’s Defense Pro Bono

This is the lawyer who sued (so far, successfully) the bejeebers out of a number of media outlets for libel and slander for claiming that Nick Sandmann was a smug racist when he was in fact the victim. And on *that* note…

As Kenosha rifleman gets legal aid, online vigilantes ARCHIVE tweets for defamation suits likely to come

For example:

Assuming that the video evidence and testimonies so far given continue to be unrefuted *and* Rittenhouse doesn’t get railroaded… Representative Pressley could wind up paying for Rittenhouse’s *everything* from here on out.

‘Black Panther’ star Chadwick Boseman dies of cancer at 43

Damn, son… 43?

That role in “Black Panther 2” now seems a little iffy. And I don’t say that sarcastically: Disney *could* if they wanted use a digital Boseman for the role. Because there’s little chance that Black Panther 2 won’t happen; it’s just a question of either recasting the role (which the MCU has done), writing the character out with an off-screen death or some such… or using some form of computer trickery.

More information has come out regarding Kyle Rittenhouse and the people he went up against. The information is interesting… and not exactly shocking. The following Twitter thread is by a journalist at the New York Times who did actual objective journalism (shocking, I know!). When Rittenhouse shot the second and third people, killing one and wounding the other, it was clear he was acting in self defense. But the *first* guy he shot was under unclear circumstances. But investigating the available evidence seem to show that he wasn’t the first shooter. When he was initially chased into the car dealership *someone* *else* started shooting. It appears that that first fatal shot was again in self defense.

 

It’s interesting to examine the three people that Rittenhouse shot. Fortunately, Andy Ngo is another journalist who is doing actual journalism:

Feel free to wonder if you should feel bad when a minor shoots a convicted pedophile.

Hardly surprising that these “mostly peaceful protestors” had violent backstories. And for those who question the propriety of a 17-year-old carrying a gun, you have to question whether someone with a criminal record involving a firearm should have been carrying a gun while claiming to be a medic.
