Cincinnati instituted a 2200 curfew today. Wife and I are watching now, stupid reporter was expressing surprise that the cops sallied forth shortly after 2100 and started putting zip-tie cuffs on folks outside the station. Yeah Karen, it's called getting ahead of the curve. Nip things in the bud and it's amazing how quickly you can deflate a situation. What is funny to me is how I don't see any police wearing masks. Guess the virus is no longer valid.

Call management and tell them that if they don't use the company chopper to land you on the roof with a weeks supply of food and a couple ex DEVGRU guys (or girls) for company, that they'll go off the air and there's nothing you can do about it from your apartment.

It's only racism when it's white against black.

******* Trump, inciting violence again.


He's not dead, but he was defending his store -- apparently he only had a sword and not a gun that Trump mentioned in his horrible tweet.

I wish more people had guns right now. This **** would be over now. But if you defend yourself against thugs, youre a racist -- right @TNTUBA

Do you just sit with your coffee, pet your cats, and **** post for a hour every morning?

I enjoy it, was just curious.

Actions sometimes have consequences.

I expect they'll be looting and burning UPS now, in retaliation.

You screw with the bull, sometimes you get the horns. I have a fair amount of experience with truck drivers and many aren't the intellectual type. If you put one in fear for his life, even the smartest, coolest of them will just go hammer down and try to flee from the danger. If you are between the two trailers trying to disconnect the second one to loot it, you might watch out for unexpected movements.

FedEx drivers are almost all contracted companies and vehicles, even local delivery. Look for "Operated by:" on them.

Just noticed that this is the anniversary of the 1921 race riot here in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Must be something about May 31/June 1 that brings out the worst in people.
The riot in Tulsa got out of hand and an unknown number of black rioters got killed.
Something between 20 and 2000 depending on whom you believe.
Hopefully history does not repeat itself.

Leftists never want you to think America is great. So as soon as states were reopening and recovering, they had to distract you with typical leftist violence in the name of justice. This is just par for the course. And some of you eat it right up and actually support terrorism, because you wouldn't want another leftist to think you hate :insert adjective: :insert noun:.


Did I say violence? I meant, "they had to distract you with typical leftist mostly peace the name of justice."
