the overstock CEO has been full brainworms for quite a while. he though wall street was gangstalking him and loving with the overstock share price and also at some point he had a plan of making some crazy super building where all overstock employees would work that was like a combination of a simcity arcology, the scientology super power center, and a peace energy vibrating geometric shape

or something like that, not too clear on the latter since it has been a while

does he have too many shares to get deposed by the board of directors or something bc he doesn't have the rabid fanbase and name-recognition that protects ol' musky

im not toof amiliar i just know hes one of those guys who is crazy enough to have one of those market analysis presentations out in the wild. like some investment group analyzed overstock and their conclusion was: "this company has potential if they would get rid of the crazy director. sort of like that olive garden presentation that leaked which had new management plans like "use salt when we boil water"

hes the founder so its likely he has a significant number of shares

also the naked short selling thing Dmitri mentioned seems to be accurate according to wikipedia. he did seem to take the paranoia a bit further though

Does not having the local dudes around make it more or less likely there's gonna be violence? I assume the imported weirdos were gonna take their cues from people like Gibson who was getting cop texts directing where and how to assault people without getting in trouble.

Sounds like the fash groups are on the receiving end of a disruption campaign in the lead-up to the 17th.

Cops probably don't want another right-wing massacre all over the news.

For these sorts of groups it was always a delicate PR dance to remain "Good ol boy' patriot clubs that blue collar and white collar law enforcement can raise a beer to" and avoid crossing into the "Gross internet weirds with manifestos and crazy eyes" zone.
And El Paso and all that seems to have shifted that discourse just enough for the time being.

if i recall she lured a proud boy from massachusetts who sold his weight set and xbox to move to texas to shack up with her, and then she created a fake ex-girlfriend profile to ensare him in a cheating plot and exiled him to the west texas oil fields

the thing that scares me is that the ppd doesn't actually do weapons checks at these things, only for people who are carrying something that is obvious weapon and only for people who are decked in colors, plus the cops only really face the counterprotester side, so someone with a concealed holster could really do some serious damage before anyone even tried to stop them, not to mention someone easily being able to come in on the counterprotester side and start firing at peoples backs

I feel like this is as much because PP/PB/et al started explicitly talking about causing violence and hurting people without wrapping it up in chud talking points about freedom of speech or whatever as it is a response to El Paso

also it's interesting how the El Paso shooter basically just fell the gently caress off the face of the world media-wise but they're falling all over themselves to both sides the Dayton shooter while deadnaming/misgendering his brother

Yo I had this exact same feeling. I hate the whole "why isn't the media covering this!" cliche but the fact that there was a terrorist attack on immigrants that has already passed in the news cycle is really hosed up
