SABRES 0311

So you want me to address the right wing even if the subject is left wing?

Totally agree with this. I made a long post a while back meant to be funny. The summary is JBot gets experience and when fired nobody really holds it against him as it was a learning experience and the Sabres suck anyway. IMO if he gets fired he’ll get picked up quickly so he doesn’t have much to lose. Maybe the Pegula’s look at the fan base like a little wind up toy. Say the right things to get them stirred up but when it’s over it’s pretty disappointing. I don’t live in WNY anymore but from what I remember, during the winter you have the Sabres and snow. They know fans will buy those tickets at first no matter how much they complain. In the end the GM has minimal pressure and the owner keeps collecting the rent. It hits real rock bottom when the only good thing about the organization says I’m done.

Why do ya gotta say “don’t pretend like”? The post was addressing what the lady in the video was saying about AntiFa. I’m sure their counterparts are there as well. Together they get people amped up doing stupid things.

What did he say?

Here’s some reading on AntiFa. While loosely affiliated between groups/cells, they have a goal. Typically wearing all black with face coverings the group also has insignias it brandished in the last few years. Common dress is debatable as uniform. Identified goals, and identifiable insignia. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/07/02/us/what-is-antifa.amp.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/08/14/us/what-is-antifa-trnd/index.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/time.com/5437204/antifa-history-comic/%3famp=true Other organizations who use/have used similar dress among members, stated goals, insignias, and violence or threat of violence to achieve political/social goals include Aryan Nation and KKK. The difference is those groups had identified leadership where as AntiFa’s loose affiliation between cells makes it difficult to identify a hierarchy. There are groups who claim they started in response to AntiFa while AntiFa claims they are in response of far right groups. As far as funding, it’s difficult to identify because the structure is not widely known.

If the burning spread to your house or your job and you lost something you cared about would you say it’s ok because at least a certain building was burned too? For some people the justification of one act is used to justify another.

The fact there were organized groups participating is a good place to start looking at what’s going on. I don’t see these groups selling Girl Scout cookies so where does the money come from to transport, arm, and make professional looking signs? If it was one city I might not care. They’re all over the country though. People needing to find purpose in life with a misguided sense of righteousness. I’ll watch with a cup of coffee.

I’m not saying the anger is unjustified. I just don’t agree with saying it’s ok to burn one building but not another simply because it fits a personal feeling.

The ends don’t justify the means.

Not sure but I’ve been looking at houses with some land as far away from people as possible for when we move.

I’ve seen “ACAB” spray painted in LA and Philadelphia. Anyone know what it stands for? Edit: Never mind, I found out. Everyone seems to agree this is organized and there are outsiders coming in.

Know your target and what lies beyond if it comes to that. Two hands, center mass.

I hope SpaceX builds a dirt bike for the next moon landing. Put Travis Pestrana up there and you have XGames brought to you by SpaceX.

Found this on Twitter

I like how the capsule and suits look sleek. I remember the shuttle with all the exposed controls but this looks very futuristic. Imagine where we’ll be in 10 years.

We just put Americans in space and the rocket landed on a ship in the water. This is awesome.

I deleted it because I realized I sounded like a cry baby. I think the photo takes away from the bigger picture. I also think the double message takes away from the guy who died with his face buried in the pavement. I don’t know if the cop is racist or poorly trained or on a power trip. I do know abuse of authority by politicians and some law enforcement affects people of all races no matter how disproportionately. Our reaction is to burn our communities and point fingers at other citizens based on political views.

Four cops to hold one guy who is cuffed does not necessitate a knee on the neck IMO. That, in my non cop experience, is something I would do if I was alone, being overpowered or trying to apply restraints. I will reserve judgement on their mindset until this plays out.

SpaceX @SpaceX Standing down from launch today due to unfavorable weather in the flight path. Our next launch opportunity is Saturday, May 30 at 3:22 p.m. EDT, or 19:22 UTC

Looks like they’re still a go.
