And you have to love this idea there there's a "THE" community... based entirely on race.  

Finally, there's that ACAB graffito, which serves as a useful reminder that's it's the True Crazies who are driving the bus for the Left now.

I think all of us in the White Community can agree on that.

What's that?

It's racist to declare there's a "White Community"?  

Hmm.....  so, um, how come.... ohh, never mind.

What is ACAB?  I take it that it's not intended to denote a taxi stand.

"All Cops Are Bastards",  a motto being used by the Antifa scum and their ilk.

I would like to see some martial drillin'.  

I think it would be appropriate to send out police, or federal people---or both---prepared to volley-fire on the "protesters" if they do not disperse when ordered to.  First night---or even two nights---it would be shotgun shells filled with rock salt, which was a regular crowd-control technique in past decades.  Switch to live shotgun shells if the unrest continues.

Would there be howls of outrage? Of course.  But there are howls of outrage now, whatever is done or not done---and the only way that the violence will cease is if the "protesters" are in fear for their own safety.

Did I mention that my rabbi used the term "murder" several weeks ago when referring to the death of George Floyd? 

I confronted him on this, pointing out that "murder" is a technical term and very much in doubt in this case---the ugly kneeling optics notwithstanding---and that words have consequences.  I happened to be listening to NYC's black talk radio the day that Gavin Cato was killed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe's motorcade; I'd read an article in Harper's on the station/program in question and wanted to hear what it was like myself.  

As soon as the news of the accident was reported, the newscasters on that station started calling it "a murder," which I maintain was a major factor in whipping up the riots (and actual murder) that followed.  Given that my rabbi has Crown Heights connections, you'd think he'd know to be a little more temperate in his language---but he started in on a rant about how "some police are just bad."  Well, no kidding, genius; there are some people who are "just bad" in any field of endeavor, and police work is no different.

Seeing that neither of us would back down, I decided to end the discussion with a sort-of exit joke.  But I found the sloppiness of thought and language disturbing.

Tough call.  Of course, this ongoing mayhem cannot be tolerated; but also of course, the DNC and the crazies who drive the bus for them are drooling at the thought of Kent State on Steroids footage to plaster all over the news and social media from now until November.

Remember the Dick Tracy "Crimestoppers' Texbook" that used to be a cutout page atop the Dick Tracy Sunday comic?

I'm envisioning a "Doc Faucy's Virus Stoppers' Textbook," with mask-wearing directives and the like...

Same thing happens with "homicide" a corner will rule that the death was "homicide". Media gleefully jump on, see corner ruled it a homicide he was murdered.

The media knows full well that the corner only rules on MANNER of death, homicide death at the hands of another person. It's up to the cops and prosecutor to rule on what type of homicide. Justified, Criminal, Negligent.

Sloppy... intentionally so to fit the narrative.

There was a song we had in camp which went,

A man was standing by his home

And by his home he died

They didn't know what to call it

So they called it "home-a-side"

This is why I suggest that painful, but non-lethal, alternatives like rock-salt be used---initially, at least.  

I suspect that the combination of the act of facing volley fire itself, the recognition that it could have been lethal, the awareness that the authorities are willing to fire on "protesters," and whatever pain is experienced by the rock salt would have a calming effect.

High school football coach fired, says it was because he’s a Portland police sergeant

PORTLAND, OR – It seems as though a form of cancel culture may have played out recently within a Portland high school,  as a football coach found himself terminated and he’s saying it has to do with him being a Portland Police sergeant.

I thought maybe a dermatologist could sponsor the team, as the Washington Deadskins

Pigskins would be opposed by Muslims and PETA. And given what police used to be called in the 70's, I don't know if BLM or the police would dislike it, or both.

I don't know what's wrong with the Red Wolves or the Redtails, both of which I've seen suggested. Maybe it's a trademark issue and they need time to sort it out. But I'm disappointed every time an organization caves into a group of activists, usually 99% white, who just want to push others around to make themselves feel better.
