Learned something new here…
A derivation, “Big Luau,” explains why many followers of the movement, sarcastically or not, wear Hawaiian shirts to protests.
Sarcastically wearing Hawaiian shirts is a signal you’re part of this brain deficient movement? That’s really too bad. I thought the only reason to wear a Hawaiian shirt (in the continental states) was to make the statement you are large, tacky, and ready to party.
Not that I would know, or be, anyone who would do such a thing.
If your son is white, no matter how much he thinks that he’s helping or being ironic or trolling, it’ll never be perceived in that way.
Just like it can be acceptable when a black person uses the n-word but never is when a white person does, there are some things to just avoid in life. Symbols that have taken on racist meaning being high on that list.
If he’s using those, or associating with those who do, best to get out of that. These groups don’t recruit by sounding racist and unreasonable, that stuff gets added later in the indoctrination process.
OMG, I had the exact same content. Only because I’m a Californian did I think this happened in northern California through the references to Santa Cruz, Travis AFB, and Oakland. The location of the event should have been immediately identified.
It’s deeply pathetic. The last gasp of the losers in America.
Travis, that’s the guy that made the last stand at the Alamo against specific orders from his superiors.
Nice.
Regardless of what they call themselves, their peculiar manifestoes, or what their preferred accoutrements are, they’re heavily armed lunatics and a danger to themselves and society.
Interesting as I’m reading an older book by Sandra Brown Smoke Screen and one of the characters in it has a racist white guy that hates the govenment, granted it’s probably because the govenment isn’t allowing him to be the racist, homophobic, white supremacist he wants to be. But interesting how those three traits seem to go together.
What’s going on in California? This happened just days later:
This shooter was schizophrenic according to his dad…
Yeah, while we’re having these serious national conversations, I think we probably also need to have one about the Camo Wall of Silence in our military.
It’s somewhat hard to believe that no one in this guy’s unit had an inkling that there was a potential problem. What is unnerving is the possibility that this kind of insanity is so prevalent in the enlisted ranks that it doesn’t raise any eyebrows.
Our all volunteer military is full of misogynist, homophobe and racists.
“Excessive use of force on unarmed civilians — that was a huge thing for him,” Ehrhardt said. “It was a mental tipping point for him.”
Which is, of course, why he tried to use a pipe bomb to kill the (heroic) unarmed civilian who resisted having his car jacked.
That’s some tipping point, all right.
I love this line.
“. . . “I’m looking for fellow Minneapolis residents to join me in forming a private, Constitutionally-authorized militia to protect people . . .”
“Constitutionally-authorized militia.” I guess he’s got a different copy of the constitution than the one I have.
Somewhat off topic, but the major sticking point to “defunding” and “demilitarizing” the police is that it will be pretty much be the case that the right has hammered on for years with regards to gun ownership: the, ostensibly" good guys will be, in some instances, undergunned when going up against the bad guys thanks to the last three decades or so of fucked up interpretation of the 2nd Amendment.
They believe the 2d amendment gives them the right to overthrow the government.
Some on the left believe that too - Killer Mike said that very thing to Bill Maher last Friday night.
Do people not think? No government is going to form up around the notion that it is legal to overthrow that government.
That is some of the derpiest derp in America.
Is that Killer Mike the rapper? Not impressed with their stuff. Then again, I’m not an angry 16yo suburban white male.
I’m a major hip hop fan.
Killer Mike has some weird ideas however.
I like how they want to pile on a bunch of other violence against cop charges on him. Like since he had the temerity to get into one shootout with them now he’s suddenly responsible for unsolved cases like a drive by and a cop murder. If they thought he was a suspect in those cases previously he wouldn’t have been walking around free.
I figured it was in TX 'cause with a name like Travis how could it not? But I guess it is not?
California.
