Imagine that

Unarmed VA black man who called 911 shot TEN times by cop https://www.yahoo.com/news/virginia-she ... 31320.html

Apparently as the victim was following the order to raise his hands, he was holding a cellphone and the cop mistook that for a weapon. Now which is crazier - the cop lights him up 10 times....bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang....or that the dude is still alive?

I think people have to understand that a cop probably isn't going to shoot once
if it gets to the point where he is actually shooting, he's going to unload his clip

if you think about it - if you're going to shoot - its already with lethal intent - what difference does 1 shot or 10 make? He is intending to *kill* whoever he is shooting at.

This idea of shooting a guy in the leg or arm isn't SOP and never will be, if you shoot, you shoot to kill

that's not to say that shooting a guy is right or wrong, but once the gun comes out and the trigger is pulled, the cop isn't likely to stop after 1 unless its clear the person he is shooting at has no ability to fight back.

so no there is nothing crazy about a cop shooting a person multiple times.

I think its a binary situation - yes the person deserved to be shot or not, how many times he was shot is irrelevant.

So you vote for "dude is still alive" as the crazier part. Considering he took the bullets to his face, neck, chest, and pelvis - I guess I'd agree.

Only in the world of Hollywood Make-Believe would pregnant police chiefs who (while witnessing an actual murder) shoot a perp in the leg if he runs away after she puts him under arrest. In fact, in the world of Hollywood make believe, said actress posing as pregnant police chief wins an academy award for such an acting performance.

Ghislaine was in court yesterday, with 8 more counts charged against her.



I think the DA and the Attorney General have about 1000 counts they could hit her with. I think this is all a ploy to pile so much on her that she is FORCED to cut deals. I don't think they want her. I think the AG wants everyone else!!!! Got to go through her to get to them.

he is lucky to be alive because the intent was to kill him

"Senator Patty Murray blocked the "Cruise Bill" today"

One senator blocked a bill? Didn't know that was possible...

She "objected" to it. So I am not sure it was even allowed to come up for a vote.

here are details (if you care)



The CEOs of the cruise lines are now threatening to leave the US market. They will simply redeploy their ships to embark/disembark to ports out of the Caribbean instead of Miami/Ft Lauderdale/Tampa/Port Canaveral.

Anyway, the state of Alaska and the state of Florida both filed federal lawsuits against the Center of Disease Control. That happened right after Patty Murray opened her pie hole.

Maybe they'll put that cop on administrative leave for not using enough deadly force...

"here are details (if you care)"

I don't..

How do you get Ted out of Rafael?

Is that the setup for a joke?

Basically. Is it like Bill is to William or Robert is to Bob?

With a crowbar

Finished the joke for you.

After months of dropping charges on "peaceful protestors", the Portland mayor and prosecutor are now attempting to get tough. They have no one to blame but themselves.

Finally, an audit that might prove the election was stolen from Trump. Or not...

Arizona judge suspends Republican vote 'audit' being conducted by Cyber Ninjas, a Florida company led by a pro-Trump conspiracy theorist

An Arizona judge has suspended work over the weekend on a Republican-led effort to examine ballots from the 2020 election.

Arizona Democrats had filed a lawsuit on Thursday seeking to halt an audit, dismissing it as a partisan effort to validate false claims of election fraud.

On Friday, Judge Christopher Coury of the Maricopa County Superior Court granted their request for a pause until evidence can be presented at an 11:00 a.m. local time hearing on Monday.

The audit, which began Thursday, is being conducted by a Florida-based firm, Cyber Ninjas, that has never previously audited an election; the company's founder, Doug Logan, also embraced pro-Trump conspiracy theories about voter fraud on his since-deleted Twitter account, the Mirror reported.

with a name like Cyber Ninjas you know they have to be taken seriously

This is the kind of nonsense that just made me give up

I believe there are serious election issues that need to be addressed

but its been a complete clown show with people that have been asked or taken it upon themselves to investigate it.

This is an audit ordered by the state legislature of Arizona, correct? I think it’s kinda bullshit to get a judge to shut it down, even if it is partisan politics. The election is over, the votes cast in Arizona’s individual ballots don’t mean shit anymore. Arizona’s electors were certified and the electoral college voted, so nobody’s vote is in any danger of being changed or thrown out. If it’s bullshit politics, the democrats should have to fight against it with politics, not the judiciary. It’s either lawful or not for the legislature to perform an audit, and if you don’t have the votes to stop it, then you don’t have the votes. I think it’s horseshit to give lawyers and judges the job of goalkeepers in charge of stopping legislatures from doing anything to investigate their own state elections under the guise of some “thou must not question the integrity of elections because that’s bad” logic.

The Los Angeles Times reported that according to four sources, in March 2020, the California National Guard was told to put an F-15C fighter jet on alert status – fueled up and ready to go – to frighten citizens protesting Governor Newsom’s Covid lockdown orders.

“It would have been a completely illegal order that disgraced the military,” one source told the Los Angeles Times. “It could look like we’re threatening civilians.”

“That’s something that would happen in the Soviet Union,” said a second of The Times’ sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared retaliation. “Our military is used to combat foreign aggressors.”

The Los Angeles Times reviewed internal Guard documents that revealed the fighter jet was also placed on alert status for election-week civil unrest to intimidate civilians.
