This guy I knew growing up became an insufferable anti-American and anti-White wuss. Dude's mom had enough money to buy two houses in the nicer meighborhoods, always kept new vehicles, and ensured all three of her kids went to college, including one having a doctorate.

He posts just inane stuff about "what does America have to be proud of", "white people have no right to be where we are, we just stole everything from blacks", and always dumps on anyone's success unless they are non-white.

Now his money squandered her money by living outside her means, has no savings, and has failing health. So of course her pivots to American Healthcare being shit, saying she shouldn't have to struggle if she doesn't want to work, and that stuff like disability should be insta paid out on such a level that she can keep both houses and her Mercedes.

Dude is so across the board and still has the audacity to tell me I am privileged despite me being the first generation American who grew up with a single mother living off Rice and beans in a 500 Sq ft shack.

There is no moral consistency beyond "white people bad" and "I shouldn't have to work because billionaires exist".

Good lord please let it.

I love seeing the folks post on my local reddit and all say the same thing "If any of yallqueda tries to interfere don't worry, we are working the voting places and will make sure your vote is counted."

The biases of poll workers is clear as can be when they start posting shit like that. You can't have an anti-Trump post history and then be proud to work the polls talking about "fairness".

I hate when folks look at this and say "yes, I do want to pay higher taxes" as if some government elites, getting rich off abusing their power, are better judges of that money.

Yea, so long as you are self-sufficient and not impeding on my rights, I don't care.

I have gotten shit for liking anime from some hardcore MAGA bros at work and for what? Last I checked I had a MS with a 4.0 and was working towards $5M in retirement. I hold my shit down.

The only thing we get when we bash those middle ground/left leaning younger folks that have a slightly alt lifestyle is an enemy. Instead highlight how we really don't care, we just want freedom and autonomy from EVERYONE, be it crony capitalism, government, or crazy SJWs imposing their thoughts on others.

When I was getting my CCW way back they had a journalist come and interview us. Everything was leading "why do you feel the need to be able to shoot someone at any time" "what about a gun makes you feel so much safer than anyone else" "if you had to shoot a kid to save yourself would you". So bad the cop who was running the class told her to leave and that no one should engage her. Of course her article was "no comment" and slanted against gun owners.

But, you know the worst part, the city I was in perpetually ranked top 10 or top 20 dangerous cities in the US and had regular DAYTIME shootings in our Walmart. My friend worked at a movie theatre and twice was pistol whipped midday asking folks blatantly jumping the ropes without tickets to leave. I fell asleep to gunshot. Why the hell wouldn't I want a gun in that scenario...

Screw phony journalists trying to push a narrative.

As has been proven by the destruction of statues and property everywhere, you just need a thing excuse to violate someone's rights and property. "Its just property bro"

I laughed years ago when a coworker brought up his 80 year old grandmother never had a formal ID.

Seriously, she never bought alcohol, never legally drove, never had a bank account, never used debit/credit, nothing. How'd she live.

He started making all these excuses for her and I just asked why he, an able bodied college educated man in a 6 figure job never helped her out.

Part of me thinks he was lying as when asking these questions he just fumbled and resorted to the "you're racist" card.

This is the new norm. Kid wears a MAGA hat and deserves deaths threats. Fly a Trump flag, deserve to have it stolen.

Us line workers are pretty based. Just our leadership that is a mixture of leftists and pandering goons. Sadly, the money needed to stand this up, operate it, and maintain it is substantial.

This happened in NC. Tea her were historically underpaid. Republican governor comes in, day 1 leftist yelled "Republicans don't pay teachers enough". Teacher marches, the works. Damn state has been blue 80% of the last century but yea, totally a republican issue.

Anyway, teachers pay gets brought in line all while building savings to weather another 08 crisis. Once again leftists cry foul cause wages weren't #1 in the country even though teachers were getting huge wage increases. They literally lamented the government having savings and 3unning black to say teachers should be paid more.

The left is either willfully ignorant or has the memory of a goldfish.

I have been daring to engage anti-Kyle folks across Facebook and I noticed two trends.

1. People really just don't know what happened and think Kyle acted in cold blood, killing people who were honest and hard working people just trying to protest and make the world a better place.

2. People who are so intellectually dishonest that anything short of kyle being bent over a trashcan so Joseph could have had his way would make them happy.

For the first group, I have found some success showing the Syncronized video that is only really missing WHY Kyle ran. It covers the tensions at the gas station and then Joseph chasin Kyle all the way to when the poice bypass Kyle. They may not come to Kyle's side, but they do step back and reassess their stance a bit.

As for the second group, they just want the world to burn. They are the true keyboard warriors that arn't anything but a leech on society, posting about not getting enough government assistance and never once actually doing anything remotely close to work. They hear something in their echo chamber and double down because no matter what, they are never wrong.

All I have to say is that public opinion is strong. We have to do what we can to engage and dispell this media misinformation. The video in question, graphic as it is, is here.

https://youtu.be/neUnhYO2Ehc

I have backed this video up, I suggest everyone download something like TubeMate on Android or whatever app you use and make sure this video isn't erased from the internet or taken down for some asanine reason. It is a pain to find if you don't already have the link or if you haven't already watched it to pull frm your watch history.

It is just disgusting that these goons are out there parading as "medics" and "press" while they commit crimes.

For everyone claiming tear gas is blocked under the geneva convention, well falsely marauding as a medics and press is as well.

I agree, but it becomes a very muddy line of whether the suspected criminal believes they committed a criminal act. Otherwise it is just some armed dudes approaching a person, trying to detain and question them, and they really don't have to sit down and engage them.

I say this knowing someone, pre cell phones, who held a person a gunpoint who was breaking into a neighbor's house. It took time to call the police, for them to respond, etc. He was charged with kidnapping because even though the burglar was on their front porch peeping in, he hadn't yet caused any damage.

The biggest thing I remember from my CCW training is that before you intervene you better be VERY sure about what you are intervening on.

I have found the "she deserved to get raped" argument to be very useful at shutting down people who want to typecast people just for wearing MAGA, thin blue line, and other patriotic items. Just burns their ass to be told they aren't allowed to judge someone by how dress.

This is a great take.

I suppose it changes my argument to this:

It may not be worth the time investment of taking your life because you want to take my $300 phone, but it certainly is worth the time investment to end your life if you want to burn down my house and all my possessions.

Thanks for the great insight, that really changes how I will phrase the argument from now on.

Like they say, time is the only finite thing, you can become a Billionaire but you still only have so much time.

This ticked me off in my city when they lit fire to a store that had residences above. Literally a retirement community, but yea, let's set the first floor on fire. Whoever did that should have 100+ chargers of attempted murder IMO.

Yea. I know a few cops who are fed up with other cops being turds and leadership just enabling it. They also don't like that, while they don't have formal quotas, if they aren't writing x number of tickets a week they have to write a essay about why they didn't write enough tickets. One guy was working overnight right when COVID started and it was absolutely DEAD, he still got in trouble for not writing enough tickets.

Careful, you may one day defend your self from certain death and have your car brought up as proof that you are a racist wannabe nazi. At least the news will frame it that way.

"Man supports police". Damn news treats it as if you are satan himself.

Also keeps pedophiles, domestic abusers, and other assorted felons from committing further crimes!

Heh, I work for an insurance company. I have seen some of our lawsuits where we dodge payouts on people that have paid in for their entire life. No chance of insurance companies going out of business.

I don't get how people are trying to demonize the kid. People are out there looting, burning stuff down, assaulting others, even killing others and that is all fine.

But, "he brought an illegal gun across state lines" is somehow the deus ex machina of retorts and demonization of this kid.

Maybe people shouldn't be out there having no respect for others first. I get so tired of this "person does everything wrong up to their death and now they are the martyr" sentiments. Why should he have stayed home any more than the people who are out there?

Oh yea, college is just a tool like any other. I know having "MS" by my name would net me a big pay raise and make job hunting easier, got my employer to pay for it, and easily passed in a year because I searched for the lowest cost, easiest, recognized state degree. Part of trying to be intentional about every step I take.

It is wrong, as a white person, to take pride in that a person of any race who is actually self-sufficient and functional is slandered as "white" by members of their own race? It is a seriously messed up insult to levy honestly.

My wife is asian, not Chinese or Japanese, and her people have told her the same stuff her entire life. Want to study for a test instead of getting drunk at 16; whitewashed. Actually attend college and want to be a social worker, white washed. Actually married a white person, now she is diluting their gene pool and selling out her people.

Shoot, in my city they were lighting fires to retail places that had apartments above. One of them housed a retirement community. But, the news only reported that the protests were peaceful until cops elevated tensions...
