I go into the local store and order my lumber and pay at the front desk. The yard people load it on my truck, and I go home and get busy.
OR
I go to the big box joint and find a cart out in the parking lot that still rolls and pick through the pile of already picked through lumber and load it on the cart, and push it and 400 pounds of lumber up and down the aisles looking for fasteners, and roll the whole mess through self-checkout, and out across the parking lot to load it in my truck by myself. My pushing 80 body is already fatigued and not going to do much else that day. But I might have saved a Dollar for all my courteous self-service.
This would be super-stupid. The 2021 redistricting was already an exercise in retrenching incumbent R’s and packing in D voters into existing D districts. Redrawing those districts now necessarily makes them more competitive. And Republican incumbents do not want to run in competitive districts.
In any sane world a law enforcement officer deliberately using less lethal weapons in such a way would be a slam-dunk attempted murder conviction. And the civil suit settlement would come out of the police pension fund.
It’s remarkable how many of these lunatics (see what I did there?!?) believe every single person who protests their cult leader is disingenuous or paid. No one has ever legitimately dissented, even once. Every election would be 100% if not for those pesky Democrats pretending they got votes, too.
Mr. Newsome is mistaken here, although a common mistake. Marines are not for defending democracy or liberties or shit. Marines serve the state, and they are used to enforce it’s policies. If the government goes authoritarian like it is happening, they can be used to quash opposition.
Gotta love “Gilded Age North Dakota”. Where men are men and they all subsist, necessarily, on a diet of prairie dogs, roots, and various nuts and berries.
Summary - At least 53 people died from projectiles fired by security forces, according to a peer-reviewed study based on medical literature worldwide between 1990 and June 2017. It also concluded that 300 of the 1,984 people injured suffered permanent disability. The actual numbers are likely to be far higher.
Kennedy is a coward . And very, very stupid – he judges the likelihood of a lab failure or malfeasance by labs to be a greater risk than facing an uninvestigated disease which attacks us.
