He's alive but probably in critical condition. Came after someone with a freaking sword. How did he think that was going to end for him?

Yeah. Should've used a freaking gun.

Apparently he wasn't even the store owner, he was just some stupid piece of excrement trying to "protect his neighborhood" who attacked a young person with the sword and was charging at random people until the mob came in.



Another excellent take by MJ. You're on a roll

Richmond protestors targeted the Daughters of the Confederacy building and the Robert E. lee statue. Good.

My favourite bit of all this is people squealing about protests while there are social distancing rules in place. "Oh no, a bunch of old white people might get sick, I must accept being treated like a second class citizen to protect them and the society they've created!"

As someone who is very much sympathetic to mass protests, I think it's a legitimate concern, especially as covid-19 has already disproportionately impacted poor black urban neighborhoods. The protestors have families that they're returning to, and a tragic consequence of the protesting could potentially be further devastation within the very communities that are suffering the most from the injustices of systemic racism. Not to say that people shouldn't be protesting, but the pandemic is still uncharted territory, and the effects of it shouldn't be ignored as mass demonstrations ripple through densely populated urban areas.

Wha? Do you think that black people don’t get old?

I saw a post on reddit talking about the Australian wildfires and I was like, "Holy excrement, that was this year."

Feels like a lifetime ago.  2020 is the freaking worst.

freak the police

[Johnny English]

I'll take you back to the beginnings of the whole corona thing, when I posited that young people are not inclined to give much of a excrement about following rules designed to protect a society that is deliberately freaking them over.

Same principle applies here. "Stay home to protect society" is a fairly hollow argument when that society is already designed to oppress and even kill you with impunity.
