Updates on the shooting:

quote:

Scanner traffic indicated at least two officers were down, one near a dumpster, and another taken by ambulance to a hospital. A dispatcher said one patient was wounded at Elite Vision, located an adjacent building at 3470 Centennial Blvd. A later dispatch said at four were injured and an officer was heard requesting an ambulance. Another officer indicated wounded patients were being taken to Penrose Hospital, 2222 N. Nevada Ave.

At least one victim was taken by stretcher to an ambulance shortly after noon.

what is he thinking? is he gonna save the babies by murdering their mothers? he's probably going to kill the staff and doctors to stop them from performing abortions (regardless of if the location provides abortion services)

Certain fundamentalist churches preach that shooting abortion doctors isn't a mortal sin in the eyes of God because you're saving the babies.

In the past, they've murdered doctors and staff as part of their crusade, so wouldn't shock me.

Just to be clear, the total inability to understand the chain of causation between things that you can't immediately see is surprisingly common. Humanity knew the cure for scurvy for centuries, but thousands died year after year because people couldn't make the right connections between the potential causes and their effects without a modern, scientific understanding of exactly what scurvy was and why it did or didn't happen.

Going back a few pages (because seriously gently caress the last several) to thank you for this excellent link. That was a very good read.

I'm pretty much in the middle of GenX (I turn 40 in a couple months) and people in my generation are every bit as lovely as boomers when it comes to entitlement, racism, FYGMism, and all the other -isms that make life in America so loving miserable. Especially early-stage GenX-ers born in the 60s/early 70s.

Fried Chicken posted:

Racism exists as a structural component of society rather than as a force of aggregate individuals. Thus the traits of individuals aren't particularly relevant, and reducing racism down to that has the effect of ignoring its pervasive nature, thus extending it.

Trying to make being racist nto something only dumb people do, like how it has been reduced to something only bad people do, is how we end up with the current situation of there being a ton of racism, but curiously no one involved "has a single racist bone in their body"

In the more direct of there being highly intelligent, highly accomplished, highly racist people about, I'm not really sure why anyone would deny that, "Ties are a bigger threat than hoods", remember? The bankers who gave subprime loans to "mudpeople", the legislative assistants who draw up laws with disparate impact against black people, the criminologists who come up with the policing training that treats minorities as a greater societal threat, the intelligence analysists who devote more time to communities of color than right wing militias, the organization heads at top colleges that freeze out minority students from joining them... It is tempting to have those channers in Minnesota be your image of the average racist, but the ones making it happen are the white collar upper middle/upper class people

calling racist people dumb or bad isnt the cause of people ignoring the effects of racism or pretending it doesnt exist, lmao.

people just like to justify being a shitlord regardless
