No, I watched Tombstone again the other night. Doc Holliday's my hero.

Val Kilmer owned it, didn’t he?

Back in the real world....

Kenosha police chief blames the black victims of a white supremacist vigilante, saying they wouldn't have gotten themselves killed if they hadn't been out after curfew. Meanwhile, his police officers were seen offering water and words of encouragement to that same white supremacist vigilante and his friends.

But nah, there's no racist double standard in policing.

I guess there's a black curfew and a white curfew? Hell, the victims wouldn't have been killed if the vigilante wasn't out after curfew; hell Kenosha would be better if the police weren't out after curfew. It's that fuzzy "logic".

It is all so sickening.

What on earth is a 17 year old kid doing entering troubled streets with a semi-auto weapon? How unutterably sad. Posed here with his weapon and his 5.11+ Tactical t-shirt - just like the big dudes.

Oh yeah, you have to be 18 to open carry in Wisconsin. If police had taken 30 seconds to do their job in between handing out bottles of water to Rittenhouse and his band of white supremacist vigilantes, those shootings would never have happened.

This got little reporting. It's not just blacks being executed. The video is hard to watch and even more graphic from an audio standpoint.

The guy was going down on his knees with his hands up and they still shot him. And how they treated his wife/girlfriend afterwards was disgusting.

And here is the lesson, folks. If you're going to call the police every time your neighbours get a little loud for your taste, THIS is what you can expect to happen.

This is another Arizona story, which got press, and highlights that this problem of trigger happy cops transcends race. Lots of them are just *extra* trigger happy with black and brown ‘perps’.

Works for me. I'm tired of my neighbor and his loud-mouthed covid spreading company getting drunk in their backyard while their kids run around screaming.

The little vigilante wasn't from Wisconsin - he was a FIB (fucking Illinois bastard).  And ask anyone who lives in Wisconsin just what sort of attitude FIBs have about laws — whether it has to do with open carry, open consumption, or even trying to stay within 10mph of the posted speed limit.

They got shot because they were stupid; they were trying to take the gun away from the kid. They should have called the police.

And his MOTHER drove him to Kenosha knowing what he was up to. I should not be surprised, after the things I've seen, at discovering new ways that parents show themselves to be completely fucked up, but aiding and abetting your child to be a vigilante is one I wouldn't have expected.

This is the first I've heard of that. I guess he was destined to shoot someone eventually. His mother must be proud.

[BoSoxGal]

He walked by all those police vehicles with a gun strapped on him and people screaming to the cops that he’d just shot people. Got home safely to his own bed.

How can anyone persist in the assertion that no systemic racism exists in our society and law enforcement? That is just fucking deluded.
