Live close to Ground Zero where George Floyd was murdered by police..... 2 people shot

https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/12/28/minneapolis-police-2-people-shot-near-george-floyd-memorial/


So on Next Door app, folks were having a "discussion" and I handed someone my opinion. LOL.

I am not black, but online people think I am. I take that as a compliment.

Some guy was saying how activists park on his block and if there is no conflict they don't have anything to live for, they need to get a life. Two people just got shot at and he's worried about people taking up parking space on his block, calling the city council stupid and just wanting everyone gone.

NOW maybe, because it is fricken dangerous, I can see his point about moving the memorial somewhere that doesn't draw the same kind of angry murderous folk, but really, where can anyone go?

Dolts with guns go into bowling alleys and shoot people up. It isn't safe anywhere anymore.

The solution is to go after people willing to murder others for no real reason at all, lock them up and throw away the key. IF the police would do that, they'd be doing their job and we could be proud of them again.


INSTEAD we have cops going up to people in their own garages, shooting them.

IT IS TIME for mandatory BODY CAMS for POLICE -- Another police shooting no body cams

Ohio Man Is Shot Dead by a Deputy Searching for Someone Else

Casey Christopher Goodson Jr., 23, was fatally shot by a member of a fugitive task force on Friday as he was returning home with sandwiches, the authorities and lawyers for his family said.

The Ohio attorney general’s office, which normally investigates shootings involving police officers, said it declined to do so in this case because it was not notified until three days later, after witnesses were interviewed and the scene was cleared.

“Casey was shot and killed as he unlocked his door and entered his home,” the firm said. “His death was witnessed by his 72-year-old grandmother and two toddlers who were near the door.”

Kaylee Harper, who identified herself as Mr. Goodson’s sister, wrote on Facebook that he “literally walked across the yard, walked into the back fence to get to the side door, had his subway and mask in one hand keys in the other, UNLOCKED AND OPENED THE DOOR and stepped in the house” before the deputy shot him.

No, there were no 'suitcases of ballots' counted in secret -- GEORGIA 2020

https://www.kusi.com/security-camera-footage-from-atlanta-ga-allegedly-shows-ballots-being-counted-overnight/

VIDEO is OBVIOUSLY SPLICED. @ 38 sec these bins appear out of nowhere.
@37 sec no bins.
@17 sec you can see the ballot boxes brought out @38 sec are already there.
FAKE

https://www.gpb.org/news/2020/12/04/fact-checking-rudy-giulianis-grandiose-georgia-election-fraud-claim

No, there were no 'suitcases of ballots' counted in secret

The most viral claim from the hearing is a 90-second clip of surveillance footage from Fulton County's tabulation center set up at State Farm Arena. Culled from hours of vote counting, the short clip allegedly shows election workers bringing suitcases of ballots out from underneath a table to be counted in secret after Republican monitors were told to go home.

But that's not what was shown and the claims misunderstand the laws and rules around counting.

.....

Sterling, the state's voting system implementation manager, said that investigators for the state watched the full surveillance video from Election Day and said those bins of ballots were already there and accounted for earlier in the day, while both monitors and the media were there.

Gabriel Sterling with the Secretary of State's Office tweeted "the 90 second video of election workers purporting to show fraud was watched in its entirety (hours) by @GaSecofState investigators. Shows normal ballot processing."

"The press reported that there was like a supposed water main break, or pipe break or whatever, and this was an excuse for people clearing out of State Farm," Pick said at the hearing.

The water pipe leak and the events on the surveillance video did not happen on the same night. Those two events occurred 17 hours apart.





Senator: They've investigated repeatedly, that they had a monitor on-site the entire time, that this whole thing has been debunked for weeks by our Secretary of State's Office.

Pick: I doubt he's seen the video.

Senator: What evidence?

Pick: Your officials need to watch the video.

11Alive learned that they did watch the video, which is not new. State investigators reviewed the State Farm surveillance tapes weeks ago.

State Farm #suitcasegate video:
• Water leak & counting happened on 2 different nights
• NOT #Suitcase. Standard ballot containers
• Press & monitors told counting done for the night
• No one was told/forced to leave
• Notice should have been given of ongoing counting pic.twitter.com/O0VTZa8Mii

So now that tRump has completely embarrassed the reThuglican party.....

What should those who are conservative and have views of smaller government and fiscally responsible management call themselves?

The Lincoln Group is a great collective, but could it be the new party?

Libertarians are a little less crazy than the current cultist-like base that is pandering to tRump.

Or should they call themselves, Retro Republicans? Like Pre-Trump and GW, although he looks SO much better in comparison.

We will still call them LO-OO-OO-SERS until they can ditch the White Supremacist baggage and idiotocracy demands of their party platform, but they should take the party back and get rid of these slime balls themselves. We can help for sure, but they have to ask.

Thots?

SO if you know FLUFFY see how he treats a tRumpie....

Maybe he hired the guy for the comedic potential....

To CELEBRATE a PEACEFUL Transfer I have a suggestion.

If everyone who voted for Joe or who thinks we can move forward would display the PEACE SIGN in their yard this holiday season, blue lights or blue tinted would be good if possible to convey DEMOCRACY and Rule of LAW triumphing over whatever the heck these last 4 years were.

I had a friend who made a very simple peace sign for her Christmas display. She took a hula hoop, wrapped a string of lights around it and from the bottom let one part of the string go across at the 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock points then ran the string up to 12 and brought it down to snag the middle of the cross string and made it taut as it came back up displaying a really great and inexpensive peace sign.

We could go red/white and blue to symbolize unity and forgiveness for all those who just got duped and who will as good citizens do their best under new leadership despite any misgivings they might have.

We could set up blue or red white and blue candle vigil peace signs in parks and use drones to take pictures of them. JUST DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO PROMOTE THE IDEA OF PEACE going into the holidays when folks are receptive to that idea.

WE NEED TO HELP JOE bring the country together by reaching out to the world with a united vision of PEACE and JUSTICE for all. Those who have done bad things should be brought to justice, but no need to throw everyone under the bus if we can avoid it.

It's a little something we can do on our own or together and it's like paying it forward, it can brighten people's day and be a reason for hope and a message of forgiveness.

I know some Trump supporters are keying into their worst selves, but I hope there is more to most of them than JUST that ugliness. American's have found ways to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and find a better path for a few hundred years. Maybe this can be another fresh start with a lot of good work on our "TO DO" list.



I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A BIG BLUE PEACE SIGN SO LARGE AND BRIGHT THAT THEY COULD SEE IT FROM SPACE.

TRUTH about Boogaloo Bois part in Minneapolis 3rd Precinct Fire comes out.


Texas member of Boogaloo Bois charged with opening fire on Minneapolis police precinct during protests over George Floyd

Feds say Texas adherent of far-right group fired on precinct building, conspired with cop killer to ignite civil war.

In the wake of protests following the May 25 killing of George Floyd, a member of the Boogaloo Bois opened fire on the Minneapolis Police Third Precinct with an AK-47-style gun and screamed “Justice for Floyd” as he ran away, according to a federal complaint made public Friday.

A sworn affidavit by the FBI underlying the complaint reveals new details about a far-right anti-government group’s coordinated role in the violence that roiled through civil unrest over Floyd’s death while in police custody.

Ivan Harrison Hunter, a 26-year-old from Boerne, Texas, is charged with one count of interstate travel to incite a riot for his alleged role in ramping up violence during the protests in Minneapolis on May 27 and 28. According to charges, Hunter, wearing a skull mask and tactical gear, shot 13 rounds at the south Minneapolis police headquarters while people were inside. He also looted and helped set the building ablaze, according to the complaint, which was filed Monday under seal.
