This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The mountains of Salt produced by the Rittenhouse verdict might just be enough resources to save the US Economy, even from Biden!

My favorite thus far being a liberal on twitter who responded angrily to a tweet I made where I criticized how the Left have been claiming that Huber and Rosenbaum were "heroes", where she adamantly called me a liar and said the left never did any such thing. It took me second to get a half-dozen images to post in response showing Anti-Rittenhouse demonstrators, Leftist civil servants, Hollywood celebrities, and Antifa/BLM terrorists all either tweeting or holding up signs that explicitly claim the wife-beater and child-rapist were "HEROES".

Of course she immediately blocked me!

The way some news outlets are handling it is pretty damn pathetic.
"It was a black guy with dreadlocks"
"I need to remind you that you are on live TV!"

....and turns out that was an accurate description.
But no, I don't think this was just him fleeing, or some sort of general malice towards humanity (though he's probably a misanthrope).
He's talked about doing this before, he's rapped about how bad Trump and the cops are etc etc.

Greetings!

Yep! Just yet another Leftist scum bag! Fucking animals. B-u-t us L-e-ftisstsss are principled! We're intellectual and educated!!

Watch how the cock-sucking Leftist Media spins this, too.

Napalm. They all need to drink napalm. ;D

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

At this point, I'd whole-heartedly support neighborhood militias standing a post.  It doesn't matter what skin color, religion, etc. - good people of every background are sick of this shit.  You could have a group consisting of a white truck driver, a black accountant, a hispanic pharmacist, an Indian gas station owner, and a Korean plumber patrolling with rifles and some asshole would call them racists for turning rioters attacking them into swiss cheese...

Reminds me of a remark someone made about black storeowners protecting their property back during the Summer of Lurve in May 2020.

"Personally, I have a serious problem with what I saw in that video.  The guy in the tan pants is trusting his life to a Kriss Vector.  Don’t ever do that.  They are jam-happy pieces of shit."

States could support that. Militias are traditionally under the authority of the states, but a couple of laws were passed in the wake of the Civil War and then in the first years of the 20th century that federalized recruitment and then financing. But you could make a strong argument those laws are constitutionally illegitimate, and push the power to raise militias back to the local level. The hitch, of course, is very few of the places that went up in flames in 2020 are politically aligned in that direction.

NPR's hard the gall to run a story this morning bitching about the fact that Waukesha still calls it's annual "Holiday" parade a Christmas parade. The media is absolutely the enemy of the public.

States don't need to support it - they just need to get out of the way.  Local is where it is.  You're always more vested in your neighbors than some asshole from halfway across the state.  Here in Jersey, those of us in the southern part of the state are closer in values to folks from WV, TN, upstate ME, northern CA, TX, etc. than we are to the leftists in the northern part of the state.  Lots of rural territory, lots of hunting, etc. here than in shitholes like Newark where they're all mixed together living like pigs where gun control laws are needed moreso than down here.

And I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the commenter is white - and the store owners' skin color made no difference to him because they're good people forced to defend themselves and their life's work from an angry mob of self-entitled assholes.

In LA last year, the Burn Loot Murder freaks attacked, looted and torched many LATINO owned businesses which surprised no one who was in LA during the Rodney King riots which attacked, looted and torched many BLACK owned businesses.

It only took a day for our enchilada eating bretheren to take a page from our kimchi eating brethern of the 90s. While the Latinos didn't take to the rooftops, they were front and center in front of their stores with bats and barely hidden shotguns. IIRC, the Latino guy with the chainsaw was in Texas.

Remember kids, it's patriots vs. traitors...and both sides come in all colors.

States provide a buffer. The Constitution doesn't allocate any powers to local governments, just to the federal government (very little power), the states, and the people.

New Jersey is a home rule state, so the state has already delegated a lot of that responsibility to municipal governments (and counties to some degree, but they're the red-headed stepchildren of government tiers, and only have a few quirky responsibilities). Other states are more centralized, some much more so. This is typically defined in their constitutions.

You forgot to mention the nuclear power plants. Everyone from the Pine Barrens or further south glows in the dark. :)

One thing of note:

We should all take a swig of something every time some idiot blathers on about “crossing state lines” as if it has any significance or basis in reality to what they hope it means.

I figure we’ll all have alcohol poisoning within 10 minutes.

It would help if Jersey were a shall issue state.  I don't know any other state that is ridiculous about it.  First - I gotta apply to get an ID card before I can even consider buying a gun - which can take up to 6 months. Now, I then gotta buy a separate permit for each individual handgun?!?!  I then have to go and fill out the NJ background check (which takes up to 12 days rather than 20 mins like everywhere else in the country) - after I've already had two sets of background checks (one for the ID card, and a second one for the handgun permit).  At any point in the process, it can be stopped dead in it's tracks - even if the background checks come back clear - based on the whim of the local police chief or the Staties. Not only that, but you give up several constitutional protections to even apply to begin with. But hey, at least there is no limit on the number of antique cannons you can obtain once you have your ID card...

All it illustrates is how lazy and stupid the general public is that they keep repeating it.  I'm waiting to see how many fools who are celebrities or politicians are gonna get sued for defaming Rittenhouse *after* the verdict.

Probably not gonna happen for a while if at all. The guy just barely escaped prison. He's not gonna want to step in court for another year. But I hope he does because they deserve to know actions have consequences.

Are you trying to Jim Jones us? I give you points for at least trying to kill us with alcohol instead of Flavor-Aid.
