Interesting Video.

I read a lot and watch a lot of videos then file it all away in a "let's see if there's something to this later" category. This video is one of those.

You decide for yourself.

Observations on Charlottesville

Suggested read if you have time. There is also a statement by the manufacturer of Tiki Torches at the bottom of the article.

Highlighted sentence by me.

Observations on Charlottesville

" ....But we should pause to make the obvious point that I haven’t seen made anywhere yet. What do Antifa and the alt-right mob have in common? They both hate America. The alt-right mob marched mostly behind some kind of knockoff Nazi or fascist flag, and not the American flag. White, yes, but “nationalists”? They are not trying to “Make America great again” even in the Trumpian sense. They want it to be a different country. Antifa, of course, has no use for the American flag except to burn it. They also want this to be a different country. If they do carry a flag, its likely to be a familiar foreign one. Both groups should be labeled as Un-American. They deserve each other. And perhaps one nice punishment would be for people from both groups to be put in the same holding cells in the local jails. ...."

Why Were The Police Held Back In Charlottesville?

Violence is not a way to get any point across.

Also failing to allow law enforcement to do its job when they were in full riot gear sure sounds like setting things up so a narrative can be railroaded through.

Why Were The Police Held Back In Charlottesville?

"....Law enforcement was on hand at the dueling demonstrations on Saturday, decked out in riot gear and looking prepared for the worst. Except they weren’t allowed to do their job. Police on the scene were reported to have been ordered to “not intervene until given command to do so,” according to the ACLU. That kept them from suppressing the numerous scuffles that broke out.

When police were ordered to disperse the alt-right rally, that act directed the white nationalists into the antifa demonstrators, leading to further street brawls. Police didn’t seem to try to get in between the two groups or suppress the fights.

As ProPublica reported, state police and National Guardsmen mostly stood aside and watched as the violence grew worse.

This appears to be a direct result of what appears to be a stand down order from higher-ups.

When the alt-right rally was mostly dispersed, police still seemed a missing presence in the city as the leftists kept demonstrating, some armed with aluminum bats and other weapons. This is the scene where the white nationalist drove his car through pedestrians, with police seemingly far away from the action.

That absence allowed for a female reporter who was an eyewitness to the intentional crash to be allegedly punched in the face by antifa. The reason: because she was press. ....."

".... But there is a surefire way to prevent further deaths and serious injury: let the police do their job to enforce law and order.

Both McAuliffe and Signer should be taken to task for police inaction in Charlottesville — and blaming militiamen isn’t going to cut it as an excuse."

The Week in Pictures: Googleplex Edition

I personally will not willingly use Google as a search engine in retaliation for the number of times they forced included their toolbar into browser downloads several years ago, sometimes even if you checked you didn't want it in custom installations. I've de-installed that toolbar countless times. These are my personal views based on my own past experience of disliking all toolbars.

Something to offend everyone, so if easily triggered don't click the link.

Rahm Using Sanctuary City Lawsuit Against Trump To Distract From $55 Million Scandal

Rahm Using Sanctuary City Lawsuit Against Trump To Distract From $55 Million Scandal

"....So don’t be fooled by Rahm’s fake lawsuit against the Department of Justice. Emanuel’s token lawsuit against the DOJ’s sanctuary city funding threat is a just convenient diversion from a $55 million scandal in Chicago that broke last week.

Chicago aldermen and city watchdogs have accused Emanuel of secretly redirecting $55 million in TIF funds earmarked to help a poor, predominantly black ward on Chicago’s South Side. Instead, the diverted property tax funds were poured into a popular tourist attraction in a wealthy area – another vanity project for the Mayor. Chicago taxpayers are on the hook for these funds too – but they’d never know it because it’s not disclosed on their tax bills.

What happens in Chicago – stays in Chicago. ...."
