Get woke, go broke. Every. Single. Time.
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. - Robert A. Heinlein -
Now, newly released documents sent to a Tennessee state board as part of the decertification process for the five former officers confirm that Demetrius Hall did indeed photograph Nichols after the beating, and he sent the images to at least six people, including “one female acquaintance.”
Apparently Tyre Nichols was dating the ex of one of the cops. I don't know why that would cause the cops to lay a beat-down on him, but I'm just going to say that feral humans do feral shit. I can't explain 90% of what goes on in urban cities, especially in areas with a high percentage of diversity.
I've worked with black Soldiers, both as subordinates and superiors. I have black friends. And almost to a man, every single one of them is happy to have left where they grew up. The only exception is a friend who grew up in rural Mississippi. And one common theme among them is that when they go back home to visit family, the people in that area are hostile to them because they aren't "really black", whatever the hell that means. I guess it means that they're not some dope-smoking lazy thug with an attitude.
Or a Memphis cop.
Anyways, avoid the cities if you can and buy more ammo.
Yesterday, when we looked at the final polling going into the Italian elections, it appeared that the coalition of right-wing parties seeking to curb forced migration would take roughly a combined 32 to 35 percent of the vote. As it turns out, they did even better, coming in with an estimated 37%. This is still short of a single-party majority, but impossible to ignore. It adds up to what is likely 123 seats in the lower house of the legislature where they previously held 22.
