  1. So apparently the Omaha police and protesters stuck a deal to disperse at curfew time, so we will find out shortly if it sticks. The bar owner/shooter has had his lease terminated and is being evicted. Also as a side note the Omaha World Herald report on site has been doing a great job with pictures and video coverage, and in normal times he’s the high school sports/recruiting guy for the paper.
  2. Generally speaking riot shotgun are Mossberg pump actions. I've got riot rounds for mine, and they're pretty easy to get.
  3. Remember in all of that, it was still the black guy that got shot by law enforcement.
  4. If it jumps off at 72nd and Dodge, I hope they move away from the Children's Hospital.
  5. It sounds like they've more or less ordered an evacuation of downtown Omaha ahead of the press conference on the non-charges at 1:30. It seems to me if you have to evacuate everyone before your press conference, you know you are about to fuck up big time.
  6. Don't think they'll wait until tonight if that's the case.
  7. Just think about how many people our dumbshit war on drugs/use of traffic infractions to provide local revenue drag into the system for no good fucking reason.
  8. I tried, but I'm not sure if I was effective at all.
  9. I will say talking to my farming clients today is a good reminder how casually racist a lot of the folks are. Granted none of the people saying racist stuffed surprised me in the least, but still. It's kind of amazing that people whose closet actual interactions with any urban minority is cheering them on for the college football team of their choice are able to know so much about their experiences and how they should be reacting to things.
  10. Why do some people worry about stuff so much more than they worry about people?
  11. Well Trump was missing his rallies, so one came to him
  12. Covid always gave me an Aggy vibe
  13. Omaha went to a curfew and called up the guard today, and a limiting crowds to 25 people. Last I knew Gardner was still in police custody, and that’s where he needs to stay.
  14. Running on law and order when it buckled under your watch is a lot different than running on restoring it
  15. I think it’s harder to campaign on stopping shit when it all happened on your watch. Ship running around is on the captain, no matter whose hand was on the wheel at the time
  16. The fog of war is a saying for a reason
  17. If Trump manages to be the second President to get the White House burned, I don’t think Melania will be nearly as resourceful as Dolly Madison is saving things.
  18. It’s too bad we probably can’t find a relative of King Victor Emanuel to call him in and fire him.
  19. Everyone needs to remember that Christ himself wasn’t afraid to riot when needed.
  20. Well the young people are a lot more connected to people different than themselves at this point in time than the olds are.
  21. So after about 3 weeks of progress, Tyson had to shut down another pork packing plant in Iowa with 555 of 2400 workers currently testing positive. As long it’s just that one it shouldn’t hurt the recovery too badly
  22. Cattle plants ran at 90% again today with improvement slowing a bit, boxed beef values faded a little bit again with good movement again this AM, hog plants gained again, and we are probably getting pretty close to being in balance there, fresh pork jumped this AM on what is likely export business. Retail prices are probably at a plateau for now until we can really chew into the backlog of animals, which we should be doing by mid-June.
  23. Still deals to be had to buy on the hoof for individual use. My BIL lives in Houston and he's getting a roughly 800 pound grass fed Angus steer for $1000. Processing is only going to run 400-500. So 1400 for a whole cow. That seems like a screaming deal to me, but I've only ever bought whole pigs. Cattle are relatively cheap, and processing’s not bad if you can find it, but getting the locker dates been the rub.
  24. Livestock wise cattle hit 90% of packing capacity today, and boxed beef was solidly lower as well, same for pork. Shortages should be pretty well wrapped up at this point.
  25. For your livestock update, hog runs finally got back above 400K head, still probably need two more weeks to get back towards capacity, would like to see 425K by the end of the week. Fresh pork values jumped out of the weekend, likely because of Chinese export interest returning along with seasonal belly demand with bellies up $56 this AM. Cattle are getting closer to 90% capacity, and could hit 95% by this weekend at the current pace. Boxed beef continues to drop with better availability and big movement for restocking this AM.
