CANCEL CULTURE!

And to be clear, "cancel culture" is a good thing when someone faces consequences for saying things like that.
But she's a comedian. She's just pushing the limits of her art. People just want an excuse to be offended, when they just need to lighten up. :slug:

The inability of people to filter their public interactions is fascinating to me. Like, that tweet was objectively a terrible idea. Small children that were just excited to see Christmas lights and a glimpse of Santa were mowed down by some idiot in an SUV, and that's your first reaction? To politicize it? Less than 24 hours later?

The combination of social media/smartphone addiction, the 24 hour news cycle, and the political state of things has driven people insane. None of you are funny. If you are chanting "Let's Go Brandon" in a house of worship, you are not funny, you are a deranged individual.

Wow. Heads need to absolutely roll for this. How a piece of garbage with the history this guy has was still walking the streets is beyond me. ESPECIALLY after what happened earlier this month. $1000 bond. Joke.

https://www.the-sun.com/news/4119750/cr ... ttenhouse/
Police confirmed on Monday that Brooks was being questioned in relation to the rampage in Waukesha, Wisconsin which injured 48 people, including 18 children.

He had also been accused of running over the mother of his child in early November before making bail, court docs reveal.
In one case, filed November 5, he was charged with resisting or obstructing an officer, reckless homicide, disorderly conduct, bail jumping and battery.

He was ordered to not have any contact with a female victim and records show $1,000 bond was posted on Friday.


In another case, filed in July 2020, Brooks is charged with reckless endangering and illegal possession of a firearm.

In the more recent one, a woman -believed to be the mother of one of his children - told police that Brooks deliberately ran her over with his vehicle in a gas station parking lot after a fight. She was hospitalized for her injuries.

An arrest warrant for the November 2 incident obtained by The Sun says he punched the mother of one of his children "with a closed fist".


The woman was left bloodied with tire marks on her clothing and a swollen lip, according to reports.

Court documents show officers "observed her to have swelling to her lip and dry blood on her face."

"Officers observed tire tracks on her left pants leg," the report adds.

Details of the latest domestic incident Brooks is said to have been fleeing on Sunday are unknown.

Brooks is said to have a long criminal history, with 15 arrests since 1999 in Wisconsin alone.

Charges include possession of drugs, strangulation and suffocation and battery.

In Nevada records show he is listed as a sex offender after he was charged with having sex with a minor.

Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office said in a statement on Sunday: "The bail recommendation in this case is not consistent with the approach of the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office toward matters involving violent crime, nor was it consistent with the risk assessment of the defendant prior to setting of bail.

"This office is currently conducting an internal review of the decision to make the recent bail recommendation in this matter in order to determine the appropriate next steps."

According to the Milwaukee Journal the $1,00 bail was the amount requested by the prosecutors.

There has been a rash of terrible prosecutors in big cities. Larry Krasner in Philly, for example. That is inexcusable.

Good for them. Although, if I were Mr. Jordan, I'd swap off that scope for a dot sight, which would probably be better for the shorter engagement distances that one would be more likely to encounter in an urban environment.

Poor guy wouldn't be able to afford it otherwise and it would be racist.

He could beat his family, but not the custody battle.

So at this point, are we assuming the Waukesha guy was just garden variety insane? Was there a motive? The Chief said there is no evidence he knew anyone there.

Six children in critical condition. Man, this stuff bothers me so much more than it used to. :cry:

I read earlier today that he was fleeing after a knife fight, but don't know if that's accurate or not.

I was looking at porch light bulbs and learned that there is a blue bulb to use to show your support for Blue Lives Matter.

Iran contra is a thing that happened. Maybe you split that up? Add “CIA drug trafficking” to the questions level

Also FBI spied on mlk? Sure, you can put that on what they freely admitted to. But maybe, fbi murdered mlk and Malcolm x would fit better. Also, just leaving out rfk, or does that just fall under mkultra?

It's almost like people showing up with guns can escalate an already dangerous situation.

Yeah, I would say close to 1/3 of our neighbors have these blue bulbs. Very popular here.

Blue bulbs is a real problem with many marriages.
