But I'm not seeing any narrative that the cops are trying to use that to justify cracking down on the protesters.

That will be tomorrow, when they're in front of the cameras after tonights escalations.

Like, this is basic loving history. It happened in Ferguson, OWS, and WTO, just within my memory. And before that, all throughout the Civil Rights movement.

The Gov of MN has already said "sorry, I was given bad information." who gave him that information and why? What was the motive to lie about out-of-staters? Why did Chicago PD go try to find a caravan of 3000 antifa headed from Indianapolis with a chopper tonight? what could possibly be the motive if not to delegitimatize the protest


If, at long last, you still need evidence: Go watch videos of the sacking of Precinct 3, and then read all the lib tweets saying only whites out of staters did it. gently caress that. That was a victory. It wasn't "incited"

do you have any links to show why that’s not the case

I’m confused. how is that a talking point that’s helpful to the police? white supremacists agitating to make protestors look bad seems to support protestors

chuds are using the 'protesters were shipped in!' line to paint the protests as a Soros op with paid for rioters. Libs are using it to claim its the dastardly russians somehow. the more idpol oriented libs are trying to drive a wedge between communities by insisting any white person at a riot is an out of state chud operative. some of the white protesters certainly are chuds (or cops, which are double chuds) in disguise trying to escalate things, but most of them are just there to show solidarity. police are using it as an excuse to crack down harder on protesters, because now they can run with a narrative of deliberate provocateurs

yeah I've basically accepted the US is off the curve expected for a pandemic in a modern nation, and is going to have something similar to an early modern era pandemic.

wife and I were talking about when the second wave was going to hit in full last week, because June seemed too early. even states that were opening up still had the majority of people still distancing and reducing outings, even if the media was focused on the big gatherings. we assumed it would be September before the second wave took off, fueled by schools opening up and children being little plague vectors

we couldnt have predicted mass riots in most major cities. there isnt going to be a 'wave 2' now, just a minor lull as the first wave gets ever higher

Cell phone towers got shut off in MN by police btw, while they do god knows what to everyone during the blackout. Sucks for you if you need to call a hospital during a pandemic!

This is a great precedent to set btw, totally cool that we could lose this forum, Twitter, basically all communication channels on a whim if things escalate so much they decide to shutoff the internet backbone instead, which they have already discussed doing during training exercises for this scenario

at my old job i used to organize friday happy hours with some of my friends in the department. one guy came once and told me this crazy story about how he and his wife went on vacation in finland. they had rented a car to check out a national park or something and were driving along a backroad when a reindeer leapt out in front of the car. he couldn't stop in time and hit the reindeer.

they are stopped wondering wtf to do because there's this half dead reindeer there and a local kindly stops to help them out. the dude comes up, puts a knife in my coworkers hand and says,

YOU HIT REINDEER? YOU KEEL REINDEER!

so my dude killed the reindeer

i mean, that just makes sense. the poor thing is suffering.

The Vitamin D deficiency theory seems plausible, and lol enough that millions of us are going to die because we didn't invest $10 in a Nature's Bounty bottle

I started taking a multivitamin to stave off scurvy from my all-bean diet. So I've been getting 250% vitamin D since this pandemic started.

beans + multivitamin + weed + alcohol = a balanced cspam diet

The really really stupid outcome of this will be Trump blaming the riots for the entire 2nd wave and not the stupid white people at hairdressers and lake of the ozarks. It will absolve him of any mistakes/lack of response to Covid and his lapdog licking it up.

Literally anything that happens helps him get reelected, that's how good spindoctirs and Media are at twisting everything.

That's how these riots will end. The virus is certainly spreading like crazy right now. When the symptoms catch up to the cops and protesters in a couple more days people are going to start staying home sick.

We're going to see a million deaths from this.

Articles about multiple local politicians dying have been posted on SA. I assume either national politicians are taking way more precautions or there's actually some kind of expensive treatment available (like the IL-6 inhibitor-based treatment people have mentioned) - most politicians don't look like they're in great health, if we're being honest.
