Two felony charges related to use of an explosive device and two charges related to use of a caustic agent. You think it was all pepper spray, like he had some kind of smoke bomb with pepper spray inside?

Also boo on no concealed weapons charges after he pulls a gun off each limb right on camera in the Vice report.

dranio bomb?

aluminum + HCl in a 2L bottle -> a poo poo load of hydrogen gas that causes a pressure explosion and spews acid everywhere


technically draino bombs use NaOH but same concept.

So I think this is interesting:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxWvtMOGAhw

I expect the frog Nazi brigade to try and exploit this: Why can't we have the White Knight then, huh??? Well, different cultural context and racial supremacy ain't the message here -- and in any case, you've got Thor if you want a superhero based on Norse mythology, for crying out loud.

Anyways, I hesitate to call this movie "fascist" but I think superheroes generally are at least somewhat fascistic, and I think the great wave of superhero movies lately has reflected a latent desire in people for charismatic, authoritarian leadership. Might makes right. The fictional nation of Wakanda of which T'Challa (the Black Panther) is its leader is also interesting for its palingenetic nationalism. Wakanda is hyper-modern and futurist and utopian, while at the same time it contains the essence of an ancient African civilization uncorrupted by the outside world.

Well the trailer looks dazzling and, looking at Twitter, has already had an empowering emotional effect on people. Still, I'm uneasy with this whole superhero business, though I can't begrudge audiences for showing up in droves to this next year given the indignities Hollywood piles onto black people on the regular:

Well I don't think Louis Farrakhan is playing T'Challa's version of Obi-Wan Kenobi but I see all this as part of a big cultural-political trend that's been underway for several years, and it wouldn't surprise me if there is some rallying around black nationalism given the threat from Trump and the white nationalists. I know Farrakhan was trying to use Trump's election as a recruitment tool for the NoI, though the NoI demands a lot from its followers.

Coming to America remake looks tight.

Black Panther was already in one Captain America movie where he was basically Batman if Batman was also dictator-for-life of a country. Then at the end he taught Iron Man that revenge was bad and flew away.

Marvel movies are certainly by-committee drivel, although the one other time they tapped a director with an actual eye and vision rather than a bland yes-man they got the closest thing to a real movie they've done so far. Black Panther's being done by the Fruitvale Station guy, so if he has an idea and they let him do it maybe the movie will actually say something.

What? The idea of remaking every movie is bad, but that literally turned my stomach.

*fake edit* I looked it up, it appears to be a sequel with Eddie Murphy and not an actual remake.
