When you cannot get spare parts for your artificial arm anymore.
Especially when the company is still in business, just not in the artificial arm business anymore.
“Sorry, Bud, yer screwed'”……that implant is obsolete.
I thought getting parts for old equipment was bad, but damn!.
(and work and commute in) in a single race area, I’d plan on a long hot summer of unrest.
Might be a good idea to have some firepower in your car, even if you can’t carry at work.
Maybe a bail-out bag just in case driving isn’t a good idea….
Or a change (or two) of clothes and some food and water at work, just in case staying put is a better idea.
Best place to be if there is a riot?: Somewhere else.
George Soros has always felt tht the “rich” should pay more (a fair share) taxes than those of us who earn less than him.
It is, of course, all about safety.
Right?
Not Revenue. Ever.
Cops in Hawaii write $18K in tickets for cell phone use while in a traffic jam.
” Honolulu Police Department Assistant Chief Clayton Kau said that the whole thing was just one giant misunderstanding.
“At the time, that they were doing that, they weren’t aware of the traffic problem. When they were notified, at that point, they ceased enforcement action,” Kau said.”
On down the road…..
So the rush to judgement has 6 cops charged, after only a few days of investigation.
Did the cops take Freddie Gray on a wild ride? A little “Road Therapy”? Probably. Is there proof? Not really..the Detectives doing the internal “Investigation” (oops!) waited too long to collect videotaped evidence, so much of it is taped over by now….
Are all 6 of the cops guilty? Maybe, maybe not. But the “Nickle Tour”…a little “Screen Test” or, as they call it around here, “Road Therapy” is a common thing for people who the cops wish to impart a lesson to…Adjusts their attitude a bit, you see…..
But I think the charges were rushed to placate the crowd…..Arrests (temporarily) satisfy the crowd. [Look!!! We are doing something!!!]
The real big riot is gonna happen when there isn’t enough evidence to convict. And that(unless the verdict is released during a hurricane or a blizzard) is gonna lead to even bigger and more intense riots.
Bet on it. The only thing the people who rioted will accept to placate them is a lynching.
“If a man neglects to enforce his rights, he cannot complain if, after a while, the law follows his example.”

Happy Socialist Workerz day.
Also known as Labour day, Labor day, etc in much of the world.
Be Socialist today….or something.
I met a dude (a customer) I’m gonna call slinky….
He ain’t good for much, but I thought if I could push him down the stairs he’d amuse me for a while…..
As the people of Baltimore take to the streets to fight back against decades of systemic racism and police brutality, crunchy granola grocery store Whole Foods is on the scene with some much needed rations. Only instead of giving them to the non-violent protestors, volunteer clean-up crews or kids who went hungry because school was canceled today, they’re giving them to the fucking cops.
Lessee here:
Non violent protestors: Yep, saw that happen while the cops stood by and let the protestors non-violently loot and burn….and non-violently threaten the people leaving the baseball game.
Volunteer clean up crews: That would be the people who finished cleaning the shelves in the looted stores?
“Kinds who went hungry because school was cancelled: Yep, that’s the reason for school, to feed yer kids. Can’t make ’em a sandwich at home or anything…..School feeds ’em breakfast and lunch. Gotcha.
There is so much wrong with this article and the attitudes of the people who wrote it that I don’t think that there is ever hope for an understanding between me and them.
