Random Conversation 2.0

K ...not you...that is why I didn't quote you,

I read something else and likely you did too. It's in the news and complaining and pointing out that someone threw a brick through a window doesn't excuse nor takeaway from killing a man unjustly.

 

It's difficult to focus on the root cause of the protests (George Floyd's unjust death at the hands of a white police officer) when the news ONLY shows footage after footage after footage of assholes destroying businesses and stealing cash registers, etc. in other cities that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the root cause. It's hard to keep focus when you're bombarded with those images. Last night, my daughter and I tried to watch game shows that were on ABC. We saw about 20 minutes of the first show and the remaining 2 1/2 hours was spent seeing images of looting and clashing between protesters and police officers".

On a related note, I live in a suburb of Chicago, nowhere near where the riots are, yet my retail store closed and boarded up their doors last night at 5 and then I just tried to go there for my 4:30 shift to discover it was boarded up again.

This has NEVER happened in previous riots, etc.

This whole thing is getting out of hand and the rioters and looters are destroying the narrative.

 

"I have to protest my right to not be killed"

Black man

 

Your quote says it all!

 

I don't know what happened but there is this video of a guy with a sword that got beat to what it looks like death by a crowd. His body was folded and unresponsive in the middle of the street and a guy kept saying "don't touch him" as if he is dead already.

 

I went and looked. He does look dead.

Did he fall on his sword? No pun intended.

 

I don't think he did.

 

Sounds like fun. I've just been staying in, finally finished my new computer build, and I've been stocked up on necessities for a while. Things will either work out or they won't. All I can do is continue to keep my distance and live my life.

 

Sure is.

 

Not a lot going on here which is fine, impossible to get bored, I can always explore another area of physics long before it comes to that. There are so many areas of it. The more you know the more fun you can have with your toys. People recently started dining in again at the local restaurants. Some of the bars have light crowds. I'll at least wait till after summer to get that comfortable.

The rain went away for a few days now it appears to be back. I just hope I can dodge it for a good run today.

 

It's raining off and on here. I just finished my computer, so I am having fun with that. Everything is calm here. Check out Doug Demuro on youtube. I think you'll enjoy his channel.

 

Mr “... quirks and features ...” ...lol

Did you see Hoovies impersonation of Demuro? ...lol

 

Hoovies? I don’t know what that is, but I am going to google it now, lol!!!

 

You guys should also check out Rich Rebuilds. He's a brother who rebuilds Teslas and other EV's.

 

I follow Rich. Couldn’t find the impersonation video. Do you have a link?

 

Yeah, that's it in my reply. The "I Took My Pimp My Ride ..." video in my post. Is it not visible to you?

 

These dudes wild af lol. I spent more than an hour in an Atlanta project only once not sure if it was this one, I remember the cops being posted out there in fairly large groups and being told it's like that all the time. Guys were just trading insults with the cops walking by like it was normal. With that said this video is wild, gotta wonder where the cops are at. Then again this might not even be the projects.

It wasn’t for some reason. I have it now, thanks.
