    There was this black civil rights lawyer on just a few minutes ago, complaining that the police in Minneapolis were “escalating” things. Saying that she wished the police new how to “de-escalate”.

    Well, I wish black people knew how not to riot too, so I guess nobody gets what they want. Though I would point out that people were smashing windoes and looting a few minutes ago, and now they’re not, so it sounds like they de-escalated things pretty well.

    Now the cops went into a store and started pushing looters out of it. The streamer Unicorn Riot just complained that they were pushing people instead of practicing "de-escalation" against the people breaking and entering. It's their new thing, apparently.

    For only the second time in my life, I ventured onto Reddit recently. I recommend it (or a similar site) to those who spend too much time in a sort of alt-right or libertarian bubble. People there are virtually unanimous in their conviction that the purpose of government is to distribute goods and services for free and taxing rich people will take care of it.

    Cops (and the law itself) exist simply to enforce predatory capitalism upon the masses. For this reason, neither has any legitimacy whatever and may be ignored and/or attacked depending on what your mood happens to be on any given day.

    Everything white people have (except wokesters of course) was gained illegitimately by trampling poor and minority peeps underfoot for centuries! Every single bit of it needs to be liberated. Either put up your fist in solidarity, and everything will be taken from you relatively peacefully, or resist and everything will be taken from you the other way.

    The important thing to realize is that these people outnumber us by a tremendous margin, and they have the (MSM) at their backs, providing cover and sustenance. And--every day or two--another manufactured outrage to keep the fires burning white hot.

  17. The Nicollet Mall store, i.e., HQ, Ground Zero for Target. A man being sought for a parking-ramp killing earlier in the day shot himself outside. Nicollet is one of those downtown street malls, not the suburban enclosed kind. Might just be coincidence this happened outside Target.

    Rumor spread that police fired the shots. Let the good times roll!

    Crowd gathers, looting breaks out in Minneapolis amid misinformation about man’s suicide

    The Trump people are serious about Donald being the first GOP to carry the North Star State in 48 years. No DFLer on the other ticket to stop them, as in ’80 and ’84. Maybe they spread the rumor!

    White Minneapolis,
    Its time to move folks. You have to live where law enforcement will protect you or at least let you use a weapon to protect yourself, your family, and your property

    Question:

    How long will it be before some black gangs decide it would be a good idea to buy a bunch of BLM garb and look for soft-target areas where the police just fall back so your members can ransack-under-the-guise of a racial-justice riot?

    Here we are as a country threatening China over the South China Seas, but allowing this kind of thing to happen to law abiding people in America.

  23. Perhaps Target can benefit from this hot-off-the-press advice from the Harvard Business Review.

    Just so you don’t have to read it, here is a summary of the major recommendations:

    – make sure your own house is in order
    – be humble
    – admit shortcomings
    – invest in structural change (acknowledge your role in perpetuating power structures)
    – make meaningful donations
    – engage early, often, and in lasting ways that demonstrate issue and cultural fluency

    And because it’s the HBR, there are quadrants. If you know business consulting today, you know there’d be quadrants…

    The author is Latia Curry. No prizes for guessing. Latia is a principal at RALLY, “a dedicated team of change-makers”. Of course she is. The wealth transfer from shareholders to black grifters will make for a fascinating study some day (probably a business school graduate student from Peking University, sifting through the wreckage of America).

    So, Target, get to work. Those looters, I mean civil rights defenders, will be out of your hair (extensions) in no time.

    Stay safe, Unzers. Don’t try to be a hero. There’s no one out there worth saving.

    Only exception is if you’re a business owner. Then my advice is to be on the roof with your 10 ga and a backup weapon.

    Remember the roof position is mostly good for scaring looters away. Not killing people you won’t be able to legally defend kill shots from the roof of your business unless you’re shooting an arsonist in the act.

    If you have to stand in front of a judge and admit you fired a warning shot you want to make sure you fired very high into the air with a shotgun buckshot/pellets. In a pro gun jurisdiction there is good chance you will get a slap on the wrist.

    1992 is the counter point to that. Obama's reelection also benefited from the Trayvon agitation in 2012. Stirring up black anger in an election year does seem to work.

    OTOH, I'm not sure the Democrats are right about the reasons for the low black turnout in 2016. The 'spirit cooking' controversy, which has been completely forgotten (no mention of it on Wikipedia), was likely the real reason all those black church ladies refused to turn out for Hillary.

    Well, I wish black people knew how not to riot too, so I guess nobody gets what they want. Though I would point out that people were smashing windoes and looting a few minutes ago, and now they're not, so it sounds like they de-escalated things pretty well.

    Perhaps Target can benefit from this hot-off-the-press advice from the Harvard Business Review.

    Just so you don't have to read it, here is a summary of the major recommendations:

    - make sure your own house is in order
    - be humble
    - admit shortcomings
    - invest in structural change (acknowledge your role in perpetuating power structures)
    - make meaningful donations
    - engage early, often, and in lasting ways that demonstrate issue and cultural fluency

    And because it's the HBR, there are quadrants. If you know business consulting today, you know there'd be quadrants...

    The author is Latia Curry. No prizes for guessing. Latia is a principal at RALLY, "a dedicated team of change-makers". Of course she is. The wealth transfer from shareholders to black grifters will make for a fascinating study some day (probably a business school graduate student from Peking University, sifting through the wreckage of America).

    So, Target, get to work. Those looters, I mean civil rights defenders, will be out of your hair (extensions) in no time.

    Remember the roof position is mostly good for scaring looters away. Not killing people you won't be able to legally defend kill shots from the roof of your business unless you're shooting an arsonist in the act.

    THE NY TIMES HITS THE PANIC BUTTON

    I’m
    guessing the Democrats’ internal polling on the current rioting and
    protesting is looking really bad, because the New
    York Times
     this morning declares a five-alarm fire with
    this new story (I’ve bolded some revealing bits of the reportage):
    How
    Chaos in Kenosha Is Already Swaying Some Voters in Wisconsin

    .
    . . [S]ome voters who were less sure of their choice said the chaos in their
    city and the inability of elected leaders to stop it were currently nudging
    them toward the Republicans. And
    some Democrats, nervous
    about condemning the looting because they said they understood the rage
    behind it
    , worried that what was happening in their town might
    backfire and aid the president’s re-election prospects.

    EllenFerwerda, who owns an antique furniture store downtown just blocks from the
    worst of the destruction that is now closed, said that she was desperate for
    Mr. Trump to lose in November but that she had “huge concern” the unrest
    in her town could help him win. She added that local Democratic leaders seemed hesitant to condemn the mayhem.
    “I
    think they just don’t know what to say,”
     she
    said. “People are afraid to take a stance either way, but I do think
    it’s strange they’re all being so quiet. Our mayor has disappeared.
    It’s like, ‘Where is he?’”

    However, there was some evidence reported that rumors that Hillary was in league w/ Satanists supposedly hurt her in Detroit 2016 voting, especially w/ black women. Had to do with the Internet disclosure that Podesta (yet again!) and his crazier bro were actually attending seances or whatever they do in some "witch's" apartment in NYC. It was a thing with the insiders in the Dem/SWJ/Hillary elite. I guess it was a white woman's version of Voodoo (Voodu?). Black women aren't hip to Satan.

    Child trafficking is no joke. It's a multi-billion business in the same league as arms trafficking. Sadly, it is true that millions of children are trafficked each year for sex exploitation or for organ harvesting or for some even more nefarious purposes you people would probably joke about in your callous ignorance.
    It was never asserted that the Podestas were running a child prostitution ring from a pizza parlor, but that they were buddies of Alifantes, a Democrat donor, and owner of two pizza shops in Washington with strange not family-friendly art and an even less savory Instagram account with links to other suspiciously pedophilic in tone accounts.
    Now, couple that with the wikileaks emails between the Podestas and other creepy characters and innuendos and code words, and there were grounds for suspicion that there was a vast network of perverts acting in concert, meeting and perhaps indulging in their sick fantasies. It might sound crazy, but such networks are known to exist in other countries, such as Belgium (Dutroux affair), the UK (Jimmy Saville) and even in America (Epstein, Maxwell, etc).
    BTW, have you checked out Tony Podesta's home art collection? It's online.

    No. That's done by machines.

    As some commentators note, those cashiers don't know how to make change.

    Maybe "Spirit Cooking" was a thing among conspiracy theorists who weren't going to vote for Hillary in a million years anway - the same kind of people who thought that Podesta was child trafficking in (or under?) a pizza shop. The average black lady has no idea who Podesta is, nor what Spirit Cooking is, or Pizzagate, or anything else other than who is most likely to keep her EBT card working and/or keep paying her pension from the DMV office. You are really overestimating what (especially black) people know about or care about.

    However, there was some evidence reported that rumors that Hillary was in league w/ Satanists supposedly hurt her in Detroit 2016 voting, especially w/ black women. Had to do with the Internet disclosure that Podesta (yet again!) and his crazier bro were actually attending seances or whatever they do in some “witch’s” apartment in NYC. It was a thing with the insiders in the Dem/SWJ/Hillary elite. I guess it was a white woman’s version of Voodoo (Voodu?). Black women aren’t hip to Satan.

    Podesta again. Is there anything his presence didn’t turn to shit?

    Child trafficking is no joke. It’s a multi-billion business in the same league as arms trafficking. Sadly, it is true that millions of children are trafficked each year for sex exploitation or for organ harvesting or for some even more nefarious purposes you people would probably joke about in your callous ignorance.
    It was never asserted that the Podestas were running a child prostitution ring from a pizza parlor, but that they were buddies of Alifantes, a Democrat donor, and owner of two pizza shops in Washington with strange not family-friendly art and an even less savory Instagram account with links to other suspiciously pedophilic in tone accounts.
    Now, couple that with the wikileaks emails between the Podestas and other creepy characters and innuendos and code words, and there were grounds for suspicion that there was a vast network of perverts acting in concert, meeting and perhaps indulging in their sick fantasies. It might sound crazy, but such networks are known to exist in other countries, such as Belgium (Dutroux affair), the UK (Jimmy Saville) and even in America (Epstein, Maxwell, etc).
    BTW, have you checked out Tony Podesta’s home art collection? It’s online.

    Basically, the only sexual orientation you are allowed to be disgusted by these days is pedophilia, so a lot of people imagine that anybody they hate must be a pedophile.

    It's also excellent blackmail material, so you can literally own a pedophile politician. See Hastert. That is the reason pedophilia is rampant among politicians, because you need people in power you can keep on a short leash.

    This cycle will be worse, even sports news anchors will tacitly engage with the protests.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n79AJupR96Y

    And once again, no real demands are made, making it more a kind of ethno-national awakening than a real protest movement.

    Under different circumstances these protests have the character of an independence movement but since no defined African American homeland exists, the worm will continue to turn in the apple.

    For only the second time in my life, I ventured onto Reddit recently. I recommend it (or a similar site) to those who spend too much time in a sort of alt-right or libertarian bubble. People there are virtually unanimous in their conviction that the purpose of government is to distribute goods and services for free and taxing rich people will take care of it.

    Cops (and the law itself) exist simply to enforce predatory capitalism upon the masses. For this reason, neither has any legitimacy whatever and may be ignored and/or attacked depending on what your mood happens to be on any given day.

    Everything white people have (except wokesters of course) was gained illegitimately by trampling poor and minority peeps underfoot for centuries! Every single bit of it needs to be liberated. Either put up your fist in solidarity, and everything will be taken from you relatively peacefully, or resist and everything will be taken from you the other way.

    The important thing to realize is that these people outnumber us by a tremendous margin, and they have the (MSM) at their backs, providing cover and sustenance. And--every day or two--another manufactured outrage to keep the fires burning white hot.

    No, they don’t. The left-wing mob sites such as Twitter and Reddit seethe with the nonsense that you mention, but they bear no relation to reality at all. It is why online lefties are constantly amazed when they lose elections.

    @Barack Obama's secret Unz account

    1992 is the counter point to that. Obama's reelection also benefited from the Trayvon agitation in 2012. Stirring up black anger in an election year does seem to work.

    OTOH, I'm not sure the Democrats are right about the reasons for the low black turnout in 2016. The 'spirit cooking' controversy, which has been completely forgotten (no mention of it on Wikipedia), was likely the real reason all those black church ladies refused to turn out for Hillary.

    Don’t I know it!

    But there’s a knack to it that my colleagues seem to have lost. Election year black rage is best kept simmering under; you don’t want to let it boil over. We didn’t have any riots in 2012.

    Re: 1992: LA riots were in May, and got shut down comparatively quickly. Maybe 6 months is enough time for people to forget – or maybe Bill Clinton was just that charming – or maybe George W. Bush was just that repulsively pussified – or maybe Ron Unz is right…

  83. BLM [Burning, Looting, and Murdering] has lowered the bar for what constitutes valid grounds for commission of mass felonies. This time, the black thug resisting arrest and making a dash for a deadly weapon didn’t even get killed. Cops gotta get down to the range a bit more often!

  86. Writer Vicky Osterweil’s book, In Defense of Looting, came out on Tuesday. When she finished it, back in April, she wrote (rather presciently) that “a new energy of resistance is building across the country.” Now, as protests and riots continue to grip cities, she argues that looting is a powerful tool to bring about real, lasting change in society. The rioters who smash windows and take items from stores, she says, are engaging in a powerful tactic that questions the justice of “law and order,” and the distribution of property and wealth in an unequal society.
