Taste the High Country

quote:

OSSINING, N.Y. — For nearly two decades, the Trump Organization has relied on a roving crew of Latin American employees to build fountains and waterfalls, sidewalks and rock walls at the company’s winery and its golf courses from New York to Florida.

Other employees at Trump clubs were so impressed by the laborers — who did strenuous work with heavy stone — that they nicknamed them “Los Picapiedras,” Spanish for “the Flintstones.”

For years, their ranks have included workers who entered the United States illegally, according to two former members of the crew. Another employee, still with the company, said that remains true today.

President Trump “doesn’t want undocumented people in the country,” said one worker, Jorge Castro, a 55-year-old immigrant from Ecuador without legal status who left the company in April after nine years. “But at his properties, he still has them.”

More info on that rear end in a top hat who threatened that immigrant center

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/armed-trump-supporter-detained-released-el-paso-immigrant-center-n1040626

quote:

An armed Trump supporter was detained and released by police Wednesday outside a community space for immigrants in El Paso, Texas, days after a mass shooting that killed 22 people at a Walmart in the border town.

Witnesses said they called police after Thomas Bartram, 21, made threatening comments to people and brandished a knife while sitting in his truck outside the community center Casa Carmelita. His truck was emblazoned with pro-Trump banners and bumper stickers promoting InfoWars, a far-right conspiracy website and radio show.


As it reads, at least in my jurisdiction, he'd be arrested for Menacing and Harassment.

Looks like even in Texas it'd be Harassment:

quote:

According to Texas Penal Code Section 42.07, a person committing harassmentmust have an intent to “harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment or embarrass” another person.
AND, "assault by threat:

quote:

A person commits Assault by Threat if he or she intentionally or knowingly threatens another person with imminent bodily injury. In this context, the term “bodily injury” means anything that causes pain, even if it does not leave a mark.[1] The threat can be verbal or non-verbal.[2]  The base level offense for Assault by Threat is a class C misdemeanor, the lowest level of criminal offense in Texas

Hopefully El Paso PD detectives are just taking statements and getting video footage so they can arrest this piece of poo poo.

Seems to me like this guy deserves a lot closer scrutiny by the police and FBI.

Unfortunately (since they can't arrest him), as it reads, he didn't commit any crime. So loving creepy that he was wearing gloves, though. What the gently caress?

A Tactical Mastermind: I will drive my easily identifiable and extremely distinctive vehicle to the scene where I intend to harass and intimidate people, maybe even getting my Active Shooter on. However, I will confound the authorities by wearing gloves, therefore not leaving fingerprints at the scene while I make my getaway!

I still have my IBA + plates because it fell off the books when I was leaving and I can't be bothered to deal with it, so it's sitting in my trunk of Army bullshit.

Second set of plates though because I fell real bad once and my mags on my chest broke the plate.

The pog-est broken plate story ever.

We had a guy who went outside the wire without a back plate for several months because his kit was in the truck and people started dropping boxes of ammo on it.

I remember reading about those tests. It was supposed to be the greatest thing in the world, and why aren't are troops wearing this right now??!! And then in testing the adhesive turned to goo at 120* and all the little plates sloughed down and left the test dummies exposed
