I'll take an air cooled carbureted 911 over a water cooled or electric any day.

For me to buy in to electric cars would mean I'd have to buy in to climate change. I'll never own an electric car.

Maximum speed and capabilities aren't what makes driving enjoyable to me. This is the reason the Miata has existed for 32 years.

You're trying to see way too much in to the situation to justify your outrage over it. They're children. If these were two adult males the female cop would not have set the man down and turned her back to him.

But to play devil's advocate you also need to consider the male female issue at play here. People, like many in this thread, that engage in victim mentality will find something to complain about in any scenario. The actions of police have been hindered so deeply by victims that maybe the female cop talked herself out of engaging the young male and putting her hands on him, thus deciding to help the male cop with the first kid so that the male cop could then move on to the second kid. You see that now all the time with female cops needing to be called in to the scene in order to perform searches on female perps in fear of the female perp crying victim and claiming sexual harassment by the male cop.

The constant crying foul of police actions, and the defund the police movement, are exactly why we don't have this mythical equally under the law concept. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
quote:

It’s fricking hysterical that you’re obviously proud of the white kid and see nothing wrong with how the whole thing went down.


So is your anger directed specifically at the white kid, and his actions, or how the police handled things?
quote:

then yelling at someone and wagging your finger in their face would certainly create an apprehension of imminent harm.


I suppose if you're one that possesses low impulse control and the inability to deescalate a situation by laughing and walking away.

You can play the contrarian bit to your heart's desire. Who made the actual first physical contact? We all know who.
quote:

if people aren’t being treated equally by the law who are engaging in the exact same act at the exact time and we cannot say that is wrong, then we have no society.



We may have something we can agree on here. The reason we are seeing society decline is because of the sheer fact that we don't have people being treated equally by the law. Liberal cities have proved this over the last year with catch and release. We've also had numerous instances recently of people being favorably treated unequally, for instance in the case of BLM rioters who are having their sentences (even for crimes such as murder) cut in half of what they normally would be because they were protesting this mythical equal by the law concept.

Strange times we live in.
quote:

Assault is physical contact with the express purpose to do harm or injure


Assault is "an intentional act by one person that creates an apprehension in another of an imminent harmful or offensive contact."

We can play semantics all day long on assault. It doesn't matter though. The question was who instigated the fight. The black kid made contact first.
quote:

You’re honestly asking this question?Because without it you have no society.


Is this sarcasm or a joke?

Assuming not, we've never had equal treatment in the history of mankind and society has somehow carried on and prevailed. There is no such thing as equality. Someone will always have more money than you, more cars than you, more properties than you, etc.

Equality is simply an unattainable idea that "they" use to keep people living under slave mentality, giving the common folk an illusion to believe in so that they think someone is actually fighting for them.
quote:

Getting your hand slapped for putting it in someone’s face in a threatening manner is not license for you to shove that person to the ground.


He didn't slap it. He forcefully pushed it away. This is what resulted in ego kicking in and prompting the white kid to push him back. Anyone of us would have done it at that age standing around in front of our friends not wanting to look like "the bitch".

I do find it funny though that I'm getting downvoted so hard for pointing out the obvious in that the black kid instigated the fight by making the actual real first contact. Who cares if someone has a finger in your face? Either control your emotions or face the consequences for your actions. By the very definition of assault the black kid made the first contact.
quote:

Umm if you're instigating fights in the mall, then obviously you didn't learn all that much respect.


The black kid is the one saying "let's go outside". Who instigated what and does it matter?
quote:

If you think that was equal treatment you’re kidding yourself. Male cop clearly had the kid handled and he wasn’t struggling. White kid was on top raining down blows when the cops came, clearly in the most aggressive position, yet treated the most delicately.

I’m hardly one to make a claim of bias, but this is literally as black and white as it gets.


Why the frick does there need to be "equal treatment"? You'll don't even realize how programmed you are to try and seek out equality and equity in everything. It's never going to exist. Quit wasting your energy getting upset over something you'll never be able to control.

It's like we have some Mandella Effect thing going on with this video where we are seeing two different realities. The white kid was not "raining down blows" when the cops came. He was on top punching the black kid on the couch only. Watch it again. As soon as the black kid went to the actual floor not a single punch was thrown. He was just standing over him holding him down, likely because he knew the cops were responding and within eyesight.
quote:

Because I'm not an illiterate dumbass. I read the article that was in the first post.


Cool. My bad on that. I didn't care enough beyond clicking the first link and watching the video.

Regardless, what does age have to do with anything? Were they supposed to pause the aggression and ask each other their ages before throwing down? Were the cops supposed to say "which one of you ruffians is the oldest so we can handcuff you first?"
quote:

ETA: yeah white kid definitely pushed first. Some bullshite. If you are gonna cuff one you gotta cuff both.


Nonsense. The white kid pointed his finger at the black kid which then prompted the black kid to make the first contact by pushing his arm away. Then the white kid pushed back.

Good question. I'm not certain without being hands on.

Let me know if any info in this link helps: LINK

Apple Tv reigns supreme but there's nothing really wrong with the firestick assuming you have solid consistent internet speeds above 200Mbps. Sure it's interface is laggy in comparison but you get what you pay for. The 4k version cost me $30 during a Christmas sale. Hard to beat. And no you don't need an Amazon account to use one. It will stream Netflix, Hulu, AppleTV, HBOMAX, etc just fine.
Yes, multiple versions. I like the English Standard Version (ESV) the best.

ESV has a dedicated website. You can also find the ESV on a really neat website called "Bible Gateway". That site will actually allow you to put multiple versions side by side so that you can compare the interpretation of the scripture as well.
Incredible. These fricking liberal double standards are literally insane.

How much more of an increase in crime do we need to see nationwide before even the most progressive dumbfricks among us realize they fricked up, swallow their pride, and start respecting law and order? How are these people stupid enough to convince themselves that less severe penalties for crimes will result in less overall crime?

Hopefully some gang member will take care of him and save my state taxpayer dollars.

That’s because most of us as vaccinated, genius. Also, not everyone has caught it yet.

Holy shite, the stupid.

ETA: “only 800k dead”. Only!?! Y’all have gone off the deep end.


Right and common sense tells us that the real death count from COVID is likely about 50% of the reported numbers when you factor in co-morbidities. Considering the information we now have available from the past two years we know that every person a hospital could get on to a ventilator equated to a $12K bonus to them from the government, and once you go on the ventilator with full blown COVID you don't come off of it. We know that straight up negligence and medical malfeasance has also contributed to the count.

Now also factor in the number of deaths related solely to the vaccine itself. Numbers which are increasing at a profound rate now that data is spreading worldwide despite the intentional coordinated suppression by the media and pharmaceutical companies. Athletes dropping dead at an unprecedented rate never before seen in history.

And then you have the whistleblowers finally coming forward: LINK

You can keep your silly vaccines and boosters with their numerous side effects. I choose freedom and natural immunity.
I'm trying to understand how the OSHA debate taking place in the SCOTUS in a few hours isn't completely shut down by Wolensky's admission from Monday when she said that Covid-19 vaccines are no longer effective at preventing transmission of the virus.

If the vaccine can not prevent transmission then all forced vaccination, in any form, is off the table. And if the transmission part of it is off the table entirely then the ONLY case for vaccination at this point would be to supposedly reduce your symptoms should you contract it. Right?

So if those of us that are unvaccinated (and always will be) don't give a shite about the potential symptoms, and through our own free will choose to deal with the potential ramifications of said symptoms were we to contract it, then how can the vaccinated care any longer about whether or not we get jabbed? They're already protected.

Transmission was the only thing keeping this argument going. That somehow the vaccinated are at risk in the workplace due to this bullshite lie that it's "a pandemic of the unvaccinated", and that we may transmit it because we aren't vaccinated, is completely dead now.

If you've had the jabs then you should be perfectly fine knowing that your symptoms will supposedly be less and you should stop trying to control other people that are willing to put up with the full blown symptoms.

What am I missing here? Why isn't this all over the media? Those that have the shots have it. Let's move on with our lives.

Fact is, the economy is booming and jobs are there for anybody who wants one.


The fact also is, that absolutely none of this is attributable to the failure that is Joe Biden.

Businesses rehiring people they let go at the start of the scamdemic, or simply adding back positions to their workforce that they had to trim to survive during the scamdemic, are not the result of any single liberal policy from this joke administration. If it existed prior to the scamdemic then no Brandon can't take any credit.

That this even needs to be typed out and stated is however the result of failed liberal policy.
