“We have to understand that there is an enormous amount of Black people, you know, that need their rights defended,” he said in an online video. “I do believe, in many ways, the police need to be defunded. We have become a police state because of the funding that they receive.”

Some followers sharply criticized him, which Bundy said disgusted him. He later decided not to go to the protest, saying he feared his presence would increase the risk of violence from opponents.

“There needs to be a defunding of government in general, and especially the police forces, because they’re the ones that are actually going to seek and destroy us,” he said in a video. “And there are many people in the Black Lives Matter organization, along with patriots and, you know, libertarians and Republicans and Democrats that understand this.”

Anyone want to take a guess at who said this?

Probably Ammon. Cliven is the one who wants to tell you what he knows about the Negro, specifically

they abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.

With the Red Sox I feel its especially important, as they were the last team to desegregate, as the owner then was a massive racist. Boston is better now than it was, but the racism and classism is still there.

From what I recall he got nearly one million pieces of mail that year, so the death threats probably came from ~everywhere~.

Man arrested after pulling gun during mask argument at Florida Walmart
https://www.yahoo.com/news/man-arrested-pulling-gun-during-144548390.html

quote:

ROYAL PALM BEACH, Fla. — A Florida man faces felony charges after he pulled a gun from his waistband and leveled it at a fellow Walmart shopper during an argument over face masks.

The encounter served as a linchpin in the debate over whether store owners and officials should require people to cover their faces inside buildings as the U.S. battles a surge in cases of COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus.

Vincent Scavetta, 28, was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and improper exhibition of a firearm and arrested Wednesday after turning himself in, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office officials report.

‘Are you intending to shoot me over a mask?': Workers feel burden of enforcing rules

Widely circulated video showed Scavetta on July 12 arguing with another man in the electronics department of the Walmart. In the video, Scavetta is seen pulling a gun from his waistband and waving it at the other man.

Prompted by reports that the argument was mask-related, the story quickly went viral after Sheriff’s officials shared surveillance images of Scavetta and asked for help to identify him.

According to the arrest report, Scavetta told investigators that it was pouring rain when he arrived at Walmart the day of the argument, and that he had to walk outside from one end of the store to the other entrance while pushing his father in a wheelchair.

Once inside, Scavetta said he had to take his mask off because it was soaked, making it difficult to breathe and causing his glasses to fog.
Maybe get contacts or stop being such a whiny prick, bucko.

quote:

The other man involved in the incident, 46-year-old Christopher Estrada of West Palm Beach, told deputies on the day of the incident that he was shopping with his daughter when he told another man in the electronics department at Walmart that he should cover his face.

Estrada told deputies that man, Scavetta, swore at him. The two argued for a few minutes, drawing the attention of other customers who tried to break up the two men, Estrada said.

I'd honestly be down - even as a gun owner - with a law that if you're stupid enough to post a picture of one of your guns (not even you *brandishing it*) in a threatening social media post directed at a sitting politician (this goes for both sides), it should count as an automatic Red Flagging of yourself.

No "I was drunk," no "oh c'mon, it was a joke," no "FURST AMUNDMANT RAIGHTZ," do not pass Go, do not collect your weapons until cleared by a judge.

It makes them mad to put on a mask, therefore it's contrary to their pursuit of happiness, which is the Third Amendment, or something! Maybe the Seventh! It's ONE of 'em! :downs:

Yes, it's from the Declaration, but it's the same thing to an anti-masker.

There's just so much horrible greatness.

1. lovely song.
2. Dumbass brandishing.
3. Throwing the revolver down on the ground like it's a hot coal instead of clearing it.
4. The Mom losing her poo poo because she thought her son just committed suicide, because...
5. The realization that the guy is over 21 and still at home and brought a weapon into his parents house (where he still clearly lives) without informing them.
6. The Mom beating the poo poo out of her son for #4 and 5.

They should've sent a poet. Only thing that would've made it better is if it was a starter pistol with blanks.
