Clunk Tap It posted:What kind of stuff went wrong? Did anybody die or poo poo their pants? A well executed choke applies pressure to the arteries and veins leading to the brain to cause a temporary state of hypoxia that feels like sleep but does this without restricting the airway. If applied properly, a choke will start to work in a few seconds. I've been choked out before while sparring in judo, and from what I remember the world went gray and I went to sleep. The sorts of things that can go wrong are constriction (or crushing) of the airway, dislocation of the recipient's jaw and even broken necks. Even correctly applied chokes can still cause damage-- hypoxia will induce unconsciousness, but if it continues it can also cause a person's bowels and bladder to empty themselves. Continuing beyond this point can cause seizures. The idea is when your target goes limp, let go.The guys I worked with that were known to do this were good at it so I never personally saw someone get hurt from a choke but there have been plenty of incidents all over the world where someone winds up getting strangled or their neck broken by some meathead who doesn't know what they are doing. Where I worked, bouncers had to be able to articulate why they used the level of force that they did when removing a patron, beyond "he pissed me off so I hosed him up." The local police strongly discouraged chokes for the reasons described above, and later outright told bar staff to never use them. Personally, I preferred to talk people out. Firm and fair goes a long way and doesn't piss off a crowd so much as the sight of a massive bouncer latching on to someone and hauling them into the night does. If I had to get physical, I simply used arm or wrist locks in a reward based system. Do as you're told, and the pain's minimal. Get nasty, and the pain turns to agony. That said, I remember one incident wherein one of my coworkers choked out a patron who had a long history of physical violence. This individual was the lead bully in a pack of assholes and one night one of my colleagues decided to make an example of him in front of his underlings after he slapped one of our bartenders. This sort of behaviour usually prompts the bouncers to swarm the individual in question and drag him or her bodily out of the bar and possibly into the waiting hands of the police, but in this case my colleague got there first and clamped on a textbook hadaka jime and waited. At about four seconds, the bully stopped thrashing and went limp. About two or three seconds later, he was handed off to his deeply frightened friends with a growing wet spot on his jeans. A busser quickly mopped up the puddle of urine on the floor before it got tracked all over the place. Fearless fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Dec 21, 2017 |

America would be way more socialist if black people could be effectively denied all those benefits. We collectively hate black people more than we want to help ourselves. That is the revolting truth that makes everything lovely about America so hard to fix, and most of our own dumb excuse for "the left" can't come to grips with it. Our right of course runs on it, Trump just made it more obvious than it already was. The backlash against the civil rights movement and the backlash against expanding welfare programs being simultaneous was not a coincidence.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Considering that her entire M.O. is that the rabble should pay as much as possible for education to prevent more of them from achieving upward mobility (especially the poorest), yup. The poor should go to religious schools, graciously provided by right-wing churches, which pump out little Republican voters by teaching that Democrats are evil. I’ve seen a worrying amount of posts online from other parents about how they are forced to send their kids to cheap subsidized religious private schools because the local public schools are complete poo poo due to underfunding. They are worried about the level of indoctrination their kids are getting, but feel that they have no other option. DeVos and her ilk are setting up this conundrum to require parents to either send their kids to underfunded secular shitholes or pleasant, happy indoctrination camps, quite deliberately. And I’m pretty sure it’s ALSO a de facto way of introducing segregated schools, because statistically a lot of black families are so poor they probably can’t even afford the low fees for private religious schools.

I think everyone in congress is super loving nervous about the reveal of that investigation. The Republicans know they aren't going to do poo poo regardless of what he says but don't want to be seen as being complicit to an administration that is not only treasonous but also subverted democracy with a foreign power to get elected which is why they are heavily getting their media allies to start muddying the water. The Democrats on the other hand want to take down Trump, but I'm guessing they are much less willing to handle the Constitutional crisis that will occur when the Republican party decides that the President is above the law and electoral fraud is fine if you win and actually having to go to war with them if they want to maintain any credibility as a party. Honestly it would probably be better for both parties if Congress just threw Trump under the bridge and the Republicans got the Democrats to help rebuild their image (which the Democrats would probably be happy to do in exchange for Trump's head) but there's no way the GOP has the guts to stand up to their king.
