    It's Hebrew.

    I knew an Armenian girl with a similar name, and I was about to ask a) how is he not more swarthy and b) if he's Armenian, what university would be willing to admit him?

    At least he's not a fucking bog jumper, but he's still got the inbreeding look going on.

    Police in Wynne, Ark., said in a statement that officers on Aug. 7 responded to a “suspicious persons” report and found Kelly standing with a gun over a group of teens lying on the ground, Memphis TV station WMC noted.

     

    yeesh.  Not just crazy lady at the door with shotgun, but holding them hostage apparently.  

    Expose her, shame her.  That's one nice thing about this shit here in 2019 - you can put these people on public display for the whole world to see, and potential employers can see what they are getting.

    I think that he could have been charged for the rifle in the park. Maybe he was not charged for possession of the rifle because he was not actually possessing it?

    So he was charged for carrying the piston and the baton, but not charged for having the AR-15 in a park.

    Seems like "C"  should be a charge here as well.

    Maybe we as a society didn't have the focus of them, but were public displays of white power movements this common and open before Trump? I just remember the KKK parade down Congress and a rally on DC a couple decades ago.

    All I remember (I'm just a man in my early 40s) is the David Duke stuff.  I was aware that the Klan was still around, because you would occasionally see some little blurb about it, but they damn sure didn't have the presence we see now, and they seemed to keep their hoods on - only a few like Duke would be "out" so to speak.

    Now, you see more folks who are able to make a living off of it through various means that don't include them being fired for their views, and so they don't feel the need to cover their identify.

    The rank-and-file on the other hand, well, we saw what happened when they were exposed/doxxed after Charlottesville - turned into blubbering idiots when they lost their jobs, got booted out by their families or their schools, etc.

    Way too much to quote, but these jumped out:

    Quote

    When announced about whether he saw a political shift happening in Texas, Abbott said he doesn’t see any big dynamic changing. “Texas is a red state and it will stay a red state in the next election.” 

    Abbott pointed to his “freedom agenda,” which aims to protect people from unfair laws like red light cameras, which have been banned, and protection of free speech.

    “Prohibit an income tax in Texas!” Abbott said to the audience, urging them to vote in the next election.

    A man was arrested Wednesday after allegedly carrying several weapons into a downtown Austin park.

    Austin police responded to the call around 1:32 p.m. at Pease Park off North Lamar Boulevard. Police said the suspect, 23-year-old Dalton Broesche, was carrying multiple weapons.

    Quote

    According to official court documents, police located him walking through the park carrying a loaded nine millimeter handgun, an extra magazine for the pistol, an expandable metal baton, two knives, a flashlight and black gloves.

    Once confronted, police reported that he also took officers to a wooded spot in Pease Park where he had hidden a fully-loaded, AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle. The rifle was carrying a magazine loaded with 30 rounds of ammunition.

    Broesche was taken into custody and charged with two counts of unlicensed carrying of a weapon for a pistol and a baton found in his possession. Police say Broesche also had an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Harris County.

    Oh goody, he had a tripod and scope.

    Shortly after 1:30 p.m., someone called 911, advising that a man was carrying an assault rifle and a large knife in a backpack, according to an arrest affidavit. The caller told the dispatcher the man was walking toward a "party with lots of kids."

    Quote

    According to the arrest affidavit, officers then asked Broesche for the location of the rifle the 911 caller saw him carrying and he told officers "he threw it in the brush off the trail." Officers found the AR-556 semi-automatic rifle "laying on a footpath that goes from the main trail to the roadway," which was about 50 yards from where officers had detained Broesche.

    The rifle was loaded with a 30-round magazine and fitted with a bipod, scope and tac light, police said.

     

  8. Sitting here in '59 and watching the lightning to the south, and earlier seeing lots of lightning east and west, and all I can think of, is that there is only one bigger cocktease in this world than the storms tonight.
