The Great Ghost Dance was a powerful magic ritual, led by Daniel Howling Coyote, used by the NAN to cause Mts. Hood, Ranier, St. Helens, and Adams to erupt simultaneously, the magical equivalent of nuclear war. It occurred on Aug 17, 2017, at 10:32 am. After the Great Ghost Dance, the United States admitted defeat and drew up the Treaty of Denver.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Yeah the Bundys are alive because they're white and are therefore granted the assumption of peacefully protesting in good faith, despite that being the opposite of the truth.

i agree armed violent protest is necessary to achieve significant change but in this instance theres money on the table so the cops would run away and the protesters would probably just be called terrorists and get hosed up by the army

hell the survivors might even be indefinitely detained without charge in some blacksite wishing they were dead cause thats totally cool and okay now

I'd assume the whole lot of them would get massacred and it would not even make it on to the chyron of any of the major news networks. If being the first female killed in the Iraq war or a school massacre can barely get a mention (Jessica Lynch and Terry Schaivo were a bigger deal to the MSM) I suspect a 200+ person massacre would warrant the same amount of air-time.

Native American reservations aren't America so they'd only get the "foreign tragedy" allotment. Like that scaffolding accident in China.

maybe. you willing to bet your life on it?

i mean, the police chief has outright said he thinks any level of force is acceptable. those aren't the words of someone who is going to break with hundreds of years of convention and respond to armed native americans with peace and diplomacy

I especially enjoy the part where the "reporter" says he knows the girl didn't blow her own arm up, but wants reaction from the "witness" about the people who think them full of poo poo.

Some hard hitting journalism there, my friend.

I don't think it's just the fear of death, I think most people except for the total psychos don't really want to murder other people. But if you happen to throw a grenade that's not "supposed to" do enough damage to maim or kill and then it does, you can do all sorts of mental gymnastics to claim it was an accident. Same with tazers, some guy dies of heart failure and you can just say it was an unfortunate accident and then you don't have to feel bad.

They self-govern on the authority of the federal government, but I meant "in the mind of the average American." There's a pretty common sentiment that they're different from the rest of Us Folks.
