I sat in on a little bit of the Comics Journalism panel with Rall, Bors, Kuper and Chris Kindred and was pleasantly surprised that Rall didn't try to commandeer it and make it all about being fired by the LA Times. From that and from what I saw at the booth, he really does seem like he can be pleasant in person (or at least knows when to rein it in).

Are they really choosing to acknowledge this rather than quietly pretending it didn't happen? EDIT: I mean what is even the point he thinks he's making?

It's a bomb but it's missing the explosives and detonator and everything else that would pose a danger to anyone. Every clock is half a bomb. Ban this sick filth.

That's a real masterful piece of car repair she must be doing with that claw hammer. What a mechanical genius! I know Muir just had her use a hammer to set up the situation as an attempt at a joke, but does he and/or his audience know so little about cars?

Like a timer and some wires in a briefcase held by hands significantly whiter than Ahmeds. And of course they have to spin this like it's some kind of cover up to say it was a clock. Racist hegemony is like a patent; you have to at least go through the motions of actively defending it on all fronts to maintain it.

Clocks moreso because you can wire up a clock to fire a detonator without you having to be there. But you can do that with literally any automated system. It doesn't make a clock half a bomb, it makes certain bombs half clock. What he basically said was "I can imagine that being made into a bomb and that scares me."

I mean, the main thing is that the police who arrested him didn't even seem to think it was a bomb - they didn't evacuate the school, they didn't call the bomb squad, they didn't get people as far away from the "bomb" as possible...they even brought the clock with them in their police car for gently caress's sake.

I mean people like Lester who are still acting like he brought the Tsarnaev's pressure cooker bomb or was cutting people up with a box-cutter like 9/11

Schools today, confusing our kids...when I was their age, we all knew exactly what bombs and terrorists looked like.  majormonotone posted:I mean, the main thing is that the police who arrested him didn't even seem to think it was a bomb - they didn't evacuate the school, they didn't call the bomb squad, they didn't get people as far away from the "bomb" as possible...they even brought the clock with them in their police car for gently caress's sake. Right, they thought that it might be a "Hoax Bomb" under the law, because the teacher who confiscated it called them and was all "hey maybe this is a bomb?" http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/PE/htm/PE.46.htm#46.08 posted:Sec. 46.08. HOAX BOMBS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly manufactures, sells, purchases, transports, or possesses a hoax bomb with intent to use the hoax bomb to: You might think that seems to mean they should have arrested the teacher, but again, they only handcuffed and detained the fourteen year old technical genius for his own protection.

For whatever reason I'm mad Lester went for the stretch of "backpack" instead of the obvious "pressure cooker" but then again maybe it's for the best, since his whole cartoon such so strained it has stretch marks. EDIT: Oh god, looking at the real clock just reminds me how people like Lester treat 24 as a documentary

I'm a bit late to Garrisonchat, but I think it's worth noting that "cuckservative" is not only endemic to right-wing twitter, but more specifically to 'white genocide' right-wing twitter. The people who posit that moderate right (IE, anyone left of full-blown nazi nutjob) political parties are enabling the gradual erasure of white people. It's really interesting to see how it only takes a hop, skip, and a jump to get from /pol/'s wildest ravings to FOX's party line. It's even more interesting to note that the 'white genocide' cadre on twitter re-use the same 4 or 5 stale memes in all their arguments- much like their more politically cuckrect counterparts.
