You have a week left:
Or don’t, as the case may be……
(I’m as prepped as I’m gonna be…..I might bother to top off the cars with gas and such, and make sure I have plenty of booze, but other than that, I’m pretty well set……)
Biblical end of the world shall start on 4/23/18.
If the Rapture comes, I’m set that way too……
He was, of course, a danger from over 50 yards away….
I call BULLSHIT. I say MURDER. (HERE IS THE VIDEO….the shooting starts at 1:00….) The cops had reason to be wary, yes. The SWATTING had everyone on edge, and they thought they were surrounding the home of a man who was purported to have shot his father…
The cops were in position over 50 yards away, under cover. The poor dude, who had no idea what was going on, got shot because the cop at the back of the rifle, looking through a scope, at night, with VERY poor lighting, decided the guy on the porch was “reaching for his waistband”.
He shot and killed Andrew Finch, who likely never knew why the cops were surrounding his house or why he was shot.
If I had shot anyone at that range, for ANY reason, at night, with no weapon visible, I would (rightly) be charged with, and tried for, MURDER. The cop needs to be as well. Low lighting, a LONG distance and yet the cop was able to “be assured” that there was a weapon (hint: There wasn’t…Mr Finch was unarmed).
“Officer Safety” and all that….Had there been an officer on the porch, instead of hiding across the street, then this could have perhaps been avoided.
Here’s a hint for cops: If you are that afraid, then FIND ANOTHER JOB.
No, I wasn’t there, and no, I don’t want to be a cop….but at the end of the day, your safety doesn’t trump those of the citizens you serve.
I call this, still, murder.
This might actually help:
Los Angeles to paint streets white in order to counteract the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Note: “If the 100 largest cities in the world replaced their dark roofs with white shingles and their asphalt-based roads with concrete or other light-colored material, it could offset 44 metric gigatons (billion tons) of greenhouse gases”….More than a years worth of Human caused emissions…
Anyone who lives in the country can tell you how much asphalt creates heat in the summer. And if you live in the snowbelt, you know how much faster things melt if you can find the “Black” under the snow……
I do think that $40K per mile is a bit “salty” for what is, essentially, parking lot seal, but has there ever been a Glowbal Warming initiative where someone in power didn’t make a shitload of cash in kickbacks?

Other theories are being fabricated as we speak.
Godspeed, Art.
You were entertaining and made me think many times when I was driving late at night.

Since I tossed CitiBank….
It looks like my new credit card will be a Wells Fargo card. While there are business practices that Wells Fargo has participated in in the past that I dislike, their CEO has told the American Federation of Teachers that they cannot dictate terms to the bank….and, in fact, that the bank won’t be told how or whom to do business with.
I applaud his stance. Not taking sides, simply doing business and staying above the fray.
‘Tis the way it should be.
Apparently
“Lack of Candor” in OIG speak is a substitute for “lying his ass off” and “Not telling the whole truth” and “Withholding evidence in testimony”.
Either way, it is, apparently, a jailable offense.
Remember, we are supposed to trust the FBI….Sadly, I can no longer do so. I’ve known other Agents that were decent men, but who would lie or otherwise follow orders they KNEW to be immoral, and now, sadly, the FBI no longer has any integrity……
But he doesn’t have any reason to not try
Odd, that.
Weasel.
Does anyone really believe
If he had all these “facts” why didn’t we hear about them then, rather than now?
Unless, of course, it was so that he could use them against Trump make a bit of cash selling a book or three….
