  1. It’s a myth that Second Amendment advocates are motivated by some libertarian desire to be left alone by the state. That’s not who they are. Gun nuts want guns because they see guns as a means to exert authority should society break down. They’re civilian fascists terrified of change. They’re that ugly lawyer couple from St Louis, waving guns around at the first inkling of unrest in their gate community. They’re the New Orleans vigilantes after Katrina, driving around in trucks and shooting innocent black men under the guise of “keeping order.” Second Amendment fetishists don’t wish to prevent tyranny. They’re desperate to maintain it.

  13. BJ unilaterally quit on his coaches in a moment of anger. For the coaches to react by unilaterally quitting on BJ by throwing him off the team in a moment of anger over what he did probably isn't the right way to respond. BJ is an emotional young man who appears to have a lot of growing up to do. The coaches, a group of grown men tasked with helping BJ grow up, need to be better. They should talk to BJ, talk to his family (as I understand he has a good one), talk to the leadership council, and talk to his other teammates. If they decide that it'd be best for BJ and best for the team for BJ to leave the program, then they should help him on his way out. But if they decide that there's a path for BJ to earn back the copious amount of trust he lost this weekend, and he's committed to following that path while accepting the consequences for what he did, then I don't see what's to be gained by kicking him off the team.

  15. Will the usual crowd here dig into the cops’ backgrounds to decide if they deserved it or not because they had a parking ticket or a use of force complaint? Or is that just reserved for when cops murder a black man and we gotta decide if he was arrested 5 years ago so he deserved to be murdered?

  25. I have had dialogue on my personal dealings with police on this board. I am 17 years old. I am looking around our apt for a hotrod magazine I had so I can dream about some car I would like to build. Realize I left it in the car. Walk out to the car, no shirt on and no shoes. Open the car and start rummaging around. I grab the magazine and turn around to a gun 1 foot away from my face. Freeze motherfucker, he says. He accuses me of breaking in the car. I am holding the keys in my hand. It should've ended there, but did it? No. He asks for ID. I told him I did not have it but we could go in the house and get it because I lived right there. He said no. He tossed me on the car and cuffed me. He told me I was going to jail if I couldn't prove I lived there. My mom wasn't home. I remembered her telling me she was leaving, but wasn't paying attention to where she said she was going. So I tell him my moms friend lives in the next building. He walks me over there in handcuffs and we knock. My mom answered the door, saw me in cuffs, and proceeds to give the officer the business. A couple years ago I am leaving U of H Clearlake's campus. I walk across the campus back to my car. Mind you, I am far removed from that 17 year old in the story above. I am wearing the Snacks traditional grey slacks and oxford. Classic corporate Black Guy almost bald with no facial hair. I see the campus police sitting there looking at me. I get into my Audi and drive away. Campus police immediately pull behind me and follow me off campus, all the way down Bay Area before pulling me over to investigate why I was on the campus. These stories are a huge difference in socioeconomic level and 20+ years apart. The only difference is in the latter they realized I was old and financially stable enough that they probably at least should be cautious about how they treated me. However, the message in both was the same. I have about 25 of these with varying degrees of violence or ridiculousness just with police. Or we could talk about the time my brother got physically thrown from the inside of a camper display inside the mall(you know how they sometimes have cars and such in there). He was curious and 9. Looked inside. The guy showing it picked him up and threw him out. My dad, as any dad should, hit him. Another Black guy with an assault charge. Sales guy got nothing for assaulting a Black Child. This is what it is for Black People in this country. We fear police and for good reason, because these are our experiences with them. My White Mother and Father in Law realized the extent of it when we were looking at a house in an area with few, if any, Black people. We had already been shown the property, but they were in town and wanted to see it, so we went by with no realtor. Detached 4 car garage with a pool in the backyard. He wanted to see it, so he opened the gate and walked right back there. I stayed where I was. He motioned for me to follow. I said, yeah no. He saw in my eyes what it was so he continued on. I can afford a house here, but there are certain protocols a Black Guy has to follow. I am not trying to die while combing over a potential home purchase.

  26. Agreed, its a good varmint or range gun, there are much better alternatives for most other activities. The fantasy that a well regulated militia could keep the government's army in check is laughable. I don't think we are ever putting the genie back in the bottle wrt guns being available to the public, but as capabilities for the weapon go up, the level of scrutiny on the buyer should as well. Bird gun, bolt action, or revolver? Standard background check. Semi-auto, magazine fed weapon? Dig a little deeper, have a longer standoff period, require stronger weapon storage to be sold/proven with the weapon so kids cant access them and go shoot up a fucking school. Anything that gets closer to the military capability (suppressed, automatic, high-capacity magazines, belt-fed, etc) has a serious background check, registration, storage requirements, etc. Personal sales and gun shows should have the same requirements, close all the loopholes. We make everyone that drives get a license, and anyone driving bigger vehicles get licenses with additional requirements. This shouldn't be controversial, but muh 2A. I also think that parents need to carry more responsibility for weapon access to kids. If your kid takes a weapon and shoots someone, you carry the same penalty as the kid.

  27. An M4, the military equivalent to a civilian AR-15, does not have a fully auto (at least not usually) mode. It’s semi-automatic or 3 round burst. Also, probably the most practical use for an AR-15 other than target practice would be something like hunting hogs for the purpose of population control. It’s an awful choice for home defense and for something like deer hunting you want a bolt action with a much larger scope. You are correct they were designed to kill in war. Period. I agree regarding the gun violence issue. I’m a strong 2nd amendment supporter but I am all for sensible gun control. Hell you can’t go buy a claymore to plant in your home or an M203 grenade launcher so clearly there is precedent for regulating certain weapons of war, which does not lead to abolishing the 2nd amendment.

  28. I’d like to see us win the conference a few times before we start talking about how bad it is. Most of these sorry teams have beaten us in the last few years. If it was that bad, we would never finish lower than 2nd. And have a few more titles. Even in our best years, these teams not worthy, somehow kept us from a conference title. It’s ou’s conference basically. People just include us because of our name and money. I don’t want to be like Nebraska/Aggie/Missouri and leave a conference just because we can’t win it.

  29. Fuck. That video. Just total dismissiveness and condescension as Americans lose their homes and lives and officials practically beg for him to help. Not even pretending to listen. Or give a shit. Amazing that millions will continue to assert with 110% insistence that this guy loves America. And this cult worshipping such malice really shows the darkness of where we are. I get that it's California so now it's all us vs. them. But we have fallen fucking FAST not to be shocked by it.

  33. I spent a couple summers in college working in the meat packing plant in my home town. It paid 2 times more than minimum wage at the time and usually had at least 8 hours of overtime most weeks. In Kansas, the meat packing towns are usually much more diverse than the rest of the state at the time (90% white) due to all the immigrants that would go work there as it paid well for unskilled labor. There were a lot of SE Asians, mostly Thai and Vietnamese, Hispanics, both long time citizens and new immigrants - legal or otherwise, a few blacks, and a bunch of poor whites or white college kids (there was a small university in town) like me making some summer/part-time cash. They always struggled to have enough workers for the 2 shifts they ran. So much so that when I returned to college in Lawrence they told me to keep the equipment and I could go back whenever I wanted and just walk into work. No need to call in and ask if they needed me. Just show up. A few years later they were able to get special visas to bring people in from Mexico because not enough Americans wanted to work there. In mid 2000s a lot of Somalis were settled in these meat packing towns in KS because the government hoped they would go to work in these plants. Pretty much whenever the government has an influx of immigrants they like to settle them in these towns hoping they will go work in the meat packing plants. They had 2 sides at this plant, a slaughter side for killing the cattle and a processing side that cut the slabs into the separate cuts. I worked on the processing side in packaging (I pulled strings so I would not have to be cutter). All new workers started in processing as a cutter on the floor. Being a cutter is really hard work. The temperature in there is just above freezing. They are working with knives so there are constantly little nicks and cuts or bigger accidents requiring hospital visits (my uncle worked there for 6 months and got a nasty gash on his lower leg from a dropped knife). They basically are outfitted in chain mail from shoulder to hands and over their torsos to their knees, so that is a lot of weight to carry around all day. Cutters specialized in one cut so the chain could move faster so their bodies would often become overdeveloped on one side causing health issues. The work is extremely repetitive so carpal tunnel was almost certain to affect anyone that spent enough time doing cutting work. The environment can be wet from washing the blood and waste off the chain/floor. After 6 months, you could bid on different jobs including the kill side, packaging, or maintenance. Who got the job was based on seniority, so usually you had to be a cutter for years before you could get off the processing floor. The work is mindless as hell (My coworkers and I in packaging used to ask each other trivia questions about music, sports, etc. just to keep our minds busy). Lots of people quit within a couple weeks. One of the guys I went through training with quit the first day. Puked on the floor and walked out. I think 40-50% quit before the first month was over. The best workers were the immigrants. They needed a job and had no support system to fall back on without one. Those guys and gals almost always stuck with it. Most of the quitters were the college and rural whites. The local townies usually stuck it out because their parents and extended family often worked there so they knew what they were getting into. I really liked almost everyone I worked with there. They were mostly good people that knew they had few options in life and were just doing the best they could with the hand they were dealt. Last I knew there were well over 100 Covid cases at that plant and they only have like 40% of the employees that they had when I was there due to shutting down parts of the plant. Too bad these companies put profit over the lives of the workers. But then that is sadly the case with American corporations too often now days. Some stories from that place:
