Since ICE got to shoot pepper balls at people legally walking (and protesting) on the sidewalk outside of their faculty in Broadview Illinois and got away with that act of assault….

Can I or others go to the “No Kings” protests and do the same with paintballs, pepper balls, or (just sayin’) bb guns?

How about water balloons or spray paint?

Can we assault people on the street peacefully protesting and get away with it? ? Just because?

“Asking for a friend” and such…..

(and no, I won’t be doing that, I (and some others, one of whom is a county deputy, so I will have an alibi) will be helping an old man with his tractor repairs most of Saturday.)

Still, however, it is a question worth asking. Equal protection under the law and all that.

Yes, that is the best outcome for the animal….’cause euthanasia is better than being cared for in a facility designed for them….

lawmakers called on Governor Gretchen Whitmer to stop the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) from euthanizing two animals that could not be released into the wild: Peanut the fawn and a coyote named Kota.

  Wildlife unable to survive on their own must either be transferred to an approved educational facility or euthanized under state law. 

The department claimed that the Detroit Animal Welfare Group (DAWG), a non-profit no-kill sanctuary caring for Peanut, missed a paperwork deadline and can no longer keep the animal in human care

We all know that having the proper paperwork is the only thing keeping chaos at bay and without it things just can’t happen.

If ever there were an example of “Government workers who need to be fired because they miss the point of their job” this is one of them.

Why SHOULD furloughed workers get paid for the time that they didn’t work?  (yes, I know it is the law, but WHY is it a law? )

Laid off private sector workers don’t (generally) get back pay for the days that they were laid off. Why should government workers?

Personally, again, if your job is so non critical that you can be furloughed and no one notices or cares then you shouldn’t have a job. If your job is not listed as an “Essential” job, then do we really need you?

that they aren’t as tough as they thought they were:

ICE confronted by crowd and panics, sets off teargas.

That’s what happens when you recruit the dregs of the domestic police and give them Federal powers. There’s a reason that these folks were one step ahead of the review board in their departments before they joined ICE. Not the kind of people we need as Federal Agents.

Chicago or New York police would have handled the crowd with a stern look and a baton. Maybe a riot shield. Not much else.

But when you are a big bully (and likely a coward when you don’t have overwhelming force behind you), you get skeered and react poorly. We are probably lucky they didn’t blindly shoot into the crowd…..

I am all for the immigration enforcement and arrests of illegals, but these folks are about as worthy of respect as the ATF jugheads back in the 90’s and ’00’s….you know, the ones they compared to F-Troop. The ones who shot dogs and stepped on Kittens just to show they were in charge… who broke down doors rather than knock, just to be intimidating…….And who caused Waco and other debacles back then.

The NRA actually joined a Gun Rights Case.

Yes, That one:

the National Rifle Association.

Seriously, they did.

Unfuckingbelievable. I am shocked. Perhaps they can be redeemed after all.

Today is National Dessert Day.

Plan your limited time accordingly.

Where did you go? I am still waiting to learn how I am so unsafe as a pilot.

Feel free to educate me.

You were adamant in comments that I was unsafe and had put my passengers in danger. Yet when pressed, you failed to give details

If you have criticism, I am always willing to learn.

Or was all that hot air?

I am irritated by both Keyboard Commandoes and Google Experts.

You brought it up, back it up.

Why, then, did I hear it 5 times yesterday in otherwise civilized company?

Of course, it was from one black person to another. Had I used that word, there might have been….friction.

But they used it:

“yo nigga”

and

“Hey,, niggah, where you been”

and

“what’s up my niggah?”

plus

“Nigga you been gon a while”

along with

“Yo nigga, where my money?”

5 instances that I heard in about 3 hours…I would expect that there were more that I missed, despite being fairly observant…

Yet no one batted an eye.

This was a place where a lot of cultures mixed: white, black, hispanic, indian, egyptian korean, chinese, etc. No one misbehaved towards anyone else, people were polite and decent.

But still, if it is such a bad word, one that causes hurt and is an incitement to violence…. why can they use it without harming one another but for the rest of us it is a social sin of the highest order?

(I also saw a black couple selling cotton goods, but that is another question for another day)
