OT: Anything Goes 37

This speaks for itself, and it's horrifying. According to the comments it's Charleston.

The white supremacist rhetoric sounds like a B.S. to me. I'm sure there are a few skinheads in this country that participated in something over the weekend, that does not make it a story. These are opportunists looking to take advantage of the situation.

My only source is the hours and hours of Snapchat I watched the last two days, but the riots were overwhelmingly young black people. This spiel from people that "it's actually white supremacists infiltrating these groups and causing the rioting/looting" will never be accurate or correct in my eyes.

At least not in Chicago.

Protests were peaceful in Pittsburgh until this kid decided to start breaking the windows of a cop car. This is right in front of PPG Paints Arena where the Pens play.



Police find guns, spray paint inside home searched for man accused of inciting violence at Pittsburgh protests

Word has it around town that a lot of hotels out here that are typically empty (not even factoring in Covid impacts) were fully booked all weekend. Can’t personally vouch for how accurate that is, but a lot of people are claiming there are a ton of out of town license plates around too.... and that they came specifically to look.


Which in theory could make sense because you have a lot of small towns where the closest big city to them is SLC. This could apply for parts of Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and even parts of Nevada.

Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport was packed on Friday with incoming passengers. They have also been finding strategically place bottles of accelerants and bricks throughout the city. This is calculated. The local jewelry store we buy from also was looted but it took the looters 90 seconds...these people were pros.

f***ing ridiculous.

I don't know what the appropriate punishment for that behavior is but I hope those cops get it. Flat out violation of free speech and right to protest. Terrible

We know who the Chauvins are in that group of cops...

All this made me apply for my FOID card again, this is all unsettling.

I'm leaning more and more towards being one of those guys that stockpiles guns and ammo, than the normal guy that just has a handgun in the house for personal defense. Seriously. This country has major, major problems.

As goes a great Norm MacDonald punchline....

You're not helping!

To the quoted guy, not you, obviously

Nah. No need. Want a few? Sure. One per household member that is of age, and/or properly trained to use it? I can get behind that.

A closet stacked with weapons? You just look batshit crazy.

 

[Pez68]

I really hope they root out all of these scumbag piece of shit cops that are coming out during this. f*** them.

Light hearted change of topic...

How do you guys make your tuna salad? What's your method/recipe? GO!

A. Open the can of tuna.
B. Dump the tuna in the garbage.
C. Make a 1/2lb cheeseburger.

All jokes aside... tuna, mayo, salt&pepper, a little finely diced garlic, and some finely chopped vidalia or sweet onion. Sometimes I'll add an herb of some sort if I have anything fresh laying around.

I don't. I hate the smell of tuna. I've never had fresh tuna, and hear it is great, but just the smell of canned tuna makes me nauseous... Yuck.

Basically add enough spicy stuff to disguise the taste of that canned tuna. Think my mom used to throw in chopped olives. Only way I have canned tuna now is if I make a typical green salad and then toss in the tuna for a bit of protein.

If that's your reaction to all of this, you're part of the problem not the solution. I can't think of a single peaceful country where the citizenry got there by stockpiling weapons.

Also off topic, I watched my first entire Star Wars movie last night. Somehow I got suckered into watching the entire series.


This is going to suck.

Don't you eat sushi? Odds are you've had fresh tuna then. Lol.
