1st Amendment Protester Shoots Himself In The Leg Protesting Fake Antifa Rally

[JTA]

Back in the '80s and '90s we had a series of high-profile cases where someone was proven innocent after a decade or more of jail, having been railroaded by police. Railroaded because the police *knew* the guy was guilty.

You must be referring to Canada. It still happens all the time here.


Why the far right believes a US civil war will start on Saturday

Wingnut pansies.

From the article

"Some websites are telling their readers that antifa groups are “planning to kill every single Trump voter, Conservative and gun owner” this weekend. Hundreds of Facebook posts show how seriously consumers of such media are taking the news, and comments like “One more threat against white people and I swear to God I’m going to take a goddamn car and run over every fucking one of them” are not unrepresentative of the response."

More proof that people need to get out more. Get out of your house and talk to those in your community. Get out of your town. Leave your county, visit another state. The country is not being overrun by scary antifa members trying to enact a revolution. There aren't hoards of SJWs overrunig our cities trying to turn our children into gay muslims. The world outside of your home town is not the desolate waste land social media would have you believe. Stop living in your internet and TV paracosms and actually spend some time outside of your comfort zone.

well there is also the fact that the morons in the morning ran with this as a screen banner in spite of the fact that it had been debunked days earlier and the overwhelming fact that this quite football Saturday was already well into mid-morning.

Hateful idiots.

I saw it thoroughly debunked weeks earlier.

The Southern Poverty Law Center was founded 1971. It says:

Since the (Trump) election, our membership has doubled. Because of that, we’ve added more than 100 new staff positions – lawyers, investigators, analysts and more – to push back against Trump and his cruel agenda.

Long, massively researched, well written, disturbing, and fascinating to me.

Terror or Entrapment?
Five recent Bay Area terrorism cases by the FBI raise questions as to whether the bureau has enticed young, troubled Muslim men to attempt acts they wouldn't have otherwise committed.

“Marijuana is an entry drug into the higher drugs,” State Rep. Jim Alford said at a legislative “coffee session” over the weekend. “What you really need to do is go back in the ’30s, when they outlawed all types of drugs in Kansas, across the United States. What was the reason why they did that?... I hate to say it, was that the African Americans, they were basically users and they basically responded the worst off to those drugs just because of their character makeup, their genetics and that.”

Also, the 'gateway drug' theory was debunked decades ago. By definition, racists are liars and idiots.

Kansas lawmaker quits posts after remarks about blacks

A white Kansas lawmaker who suggested at a public forum that blacks were predisposed to abusing drugs resigned from two legislative committee leadership jobs on Tuesday but did not give up his seat in the Legislature.

Republican Rep. Steve Alford, from the western Kansas town of Ulysses, faced calls on social media to leave office altogether from critics who saw his remarks as racist. And a black House member said Alford should resign from the Legislature.

Alford stepped down as chairman of the House Children and Seniors Committee and as vice chairman of a joint legislative task force on child welfare. He won't keep a seat on either panel but will retain other committee assignments.

"We came to a mutual understanding," House Speaker Ron Ryckman Jr., a Kansas City-area Republican, told reporters after meeting Tuesday with Alford. "His remarks were a disappointment and unfortunate."

But Rep. Valdenia Winn, a black Kansas City, Kansas, Democrat, said Tuesday that Alford should leave the Legislature. She said giving up committee leadership jobs is "insignificant."

"Until he resigns from the Legislature, there is no difference," Winn said. "You owe that to your constituents and the state of Kansas." ...

I'm nearing the end of the book "Black Like Me", in which a white dude darkens his skin and lives amongst black people in the deep South in 1959.

The epilogue written in the 70s is pretty interesting. For me it's really telling seeing how many things simply haven't changed.

The biggest one is the NFL player's kneeling in protest of police brutality, and the subsequent reaction by white NFL fans.

The attitude that's persisted: They're trying to stir up trouble. Have no respect for X, Y and Z. They should be grateful for what they have.

It's really eye opening!
