Peculiar Pot Smoking Punk ass Protestors Pepper Sprayed Prudently

richard — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 16:54:18 +0000

This Occupy protesting nonsense is dragging on and accomplishing nothing positive. Shocking… The wests Tahrir moment, it aint. Some are under the false impression that rich people are somehow getting richer in this bad economy despite the number of taxpayers with more than $1 million of income declining from from 400,000 back in 2007 to just 235,000 in 2009. Others are just annoyed that the world isn’t perfect in their estimation so they’re out bitching about anything and everything and feeling super noble about it. Sometimes though, the whole “breaking the law and being a dick about your protests over nothing” thing has consequences and that only makes irresponsible people more outraged that they’re not getting what they want. Tragic.

The only positive thing that’s come out of the Occupy protests has been the silly Amazon product reviews of the pepper spray used in the Davis-spraying. Aside from that it’s just more cause for whining and outrage. Did you know that forcing people to move who refuse to move from property they don’t own is a “military threat”? Oh ya dude. Totally:

“How Could This Happen in America?” Why Police Are Treating Americans Like Military Threats
Why is the armed might of the state, (necessary in waging war against foreign enemies) being applied to domestic policing of local communities and peaceful protests?

Who is gullible enough to fall for this victim-porn propaganda? These protests are often not peaceful – what with the attacking the police, vandalism, vandalism with feces, vandalism with 200 pounds of feces, other mass filth, corpse-filth, disease, open drug use, overdoses, rapes and death and all – but even during the peaceful ones, it’s painfully obvious that the whining reaction to them are just whining. Oh no.. you broke laws and got arrested or forcibly moved from a place you weren’t allowed to be. and I’m supposed to feel sympathy for that just because you wanted to be there? This is stupid. That article ends with this paragraph:

“Is this still my country?” That’s been a question from day one, asked by Americans of widely diverging views in response to government crackdowns on protest. Objecting to military violence against protesting citizens may be inherently American. The urge to crack down can look inherently American too.

Don’t people usually die in “military violence”? And yet no one has died in the law enforcement tactics used against these fleabaggers while 7 have died within the Occupy dumps. Lets see.. which is worse? Getting sprayed with something that hurts your eyes in response to your refusal to leave a blockade that has no purpose or meaning? Or dying for participating in a protest that has no purpose or meaning?

Update: woman pepper sprays black friday shoppers so she can get her Tickle-me Elmo or whatever.

I double-dog Dare you to think of something more stupid than this caption^

Police haven’t been shitting on any of the protestors. But the protestors have been shitting on the police.
Police haven’t killed any of the protestors. But the protestors have been killing themselves.
Police haven’t been breaking any of the protestors things to express their political opinions. But the protestors have been costing thousands of dollars in damage to public and private property.
Police haven’t stabbed any of the protestors. But the protestors have been knife attacking themselves.
Police haven’t jerked off in front of any 16 year old girls in the protests but… okay – i’ll give them a pass on this one.

UPDATE: Occupy sympathizer threatens to murder South Carolinas Governor. To date, police have not made any such murder threats in their “military action”.

I don’t understand what the argument against it is. When you tell someone to move and you have the legal authority to do so, wtf are you supposed to do? “Hey, those people are not legally allowed to be occupying that space. it’s not theres, we don’t want them there and they need to leave” – “but… they said no” – “Oh, okay. end of story then. I guess we tried!”. wtf? I don’t think so. They’re lucky all they got was a shot of pepper. Morons.

Although, I’ve also never made a secret of the fact that I don’t understand the Occupy protest as a movement either, and it’s not for lack of investigation. It’s an unorganized collection of whining about nothing specific and has no plan of action other than being annoying as a way to get what they want.

When it first started the most common line I saw was that it was against “Corporate Greed” but no specifics were given on what anyone wanted to do about it. Who exactly is breaking the law or doing something immoral? If the former – why are you not revealing their name to any of the thousands of trial attorneys whose mouths are watering this very second at the thought of taking a Wall Street corrupto-crat down and if it’s the latter then why are you not revealing their names either so people know what it is you’re protesting against and can maybe have some sympathy for your smelly disease riddled public park destroying illegal bongo sessions.

Following a pledge to “stick it to taxpayers“, the cost of this feel-good/accomplish-nothing masturbatory movement to the taxpayers is $10,000 a day or $13 million so far.

Thanks a lot, assholes.

Crime, Drugs & Responsibility

richard — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 01:23:21 +0000

Here is a relevant selection from a discussion I had with a friend recently on drugs, crime, personal responsibility and societal responsibility. Lemme know what ch’yall think!

BRETT:Drugs are the reason most are behind bars. Addiction isn’t weakness. They are either in there for possession of drugs, things they did on drugs, or things they did to get drugs. The fact someone is bound to chemicals doesn’t make them worthless, but our “correctional” institutes don’t correct anything so you end up with people that never get to the root of their problems, and they are bound by a cycle of addiction. If our country aimed at breaking addictions and treating the mentally ill, there would be far less people behind bars. I don’t think either chemical imbalances nor chemical addiction runs hand and hand with stupidity, hence the reason there are intelligent and capable people behind bars. And yes, some who could have been a political leader end up doing little more than hustling people either on the street or behind bars…wasted capabilities that could have been used constructively if the dice had fallen different along the way.

RICHARD:
Drugs are absolutely not the reason most are behind bars and the actions one takes to get themselves addicted to something is absolutely a weakness. it is entirely possible to use recreational drugs and not steal, assault, murder or jaywalk so the excusal of prisoners as being victims of their own behavior (itself a silly circular reasoning) is nonsense. idk why you equate being in jail with being worthless. if that was the case then we’d have a singapore or chinese system of justice instead of the cushy one we have now. the root of these peoples problems is not chemical – its moral. you can be an absolute fiend and it doesnt require you to harm your fellow citizens. there is no dice in this equation. it is peoples choices who put them where they are. not cosmic roulette.

BRETT:
an “absolute fiend” WILL steal, unless you are talking about Wall Street boys with 7 figure incomes powdering their noses. most poor people that become addicted to alcohol, crack, or heroin do not have 7 figure incomes and once they are fully addicted they have no recourse but to steal. i had a friend with decent morals (seems to be what you are stressing that non-criminals posses) who got addicted to oxycontins and proceeded to steal a bunch of appliances to sell on Cragslist. He’s in prison for 11 years now, but not a stupid kid at all . At one point he was making $80,000 a year fixing tanks in Iraq, but then he got hooked on drugs…first recreational treats like acid, and then later, the poor man’s heroin. it does take someone with an addictive personality to get so dependent upon drugs, but that is a genetic lottery, even if you don’t believe it is. Even at the furthest reach, we don’t pick our parents, so we’re all basically products of chance. Criminals are not inherently evil people. Often their lives just took a wrong turn and went off the road before they ever had a chance to turn back.

RICHARD:
People are not driven to steal and assault to feed addictions. entitled people, stupid people and moraless people do. crime is going down despite the economy going down. alcoholics didnt go on mugging and stealing sprees for speakeasy money during prohibition. it is entirely the prevailing moral compass of the person and no excuses should be made for any violence or theft from a person as there is no scientific data that shows an addiction makes you a shitty person. Anne Franks mother died in Bergen-Belsen because she didnt eat anything, choosing instead to give her entire food rations to her daughter. I think the certain death that comes at the end of prolonged starvation will poison the mind into acting selfishly more than the need to chase a high.

Describing a person who steals for pills as being of high morals is incongruent. Oxycontin doesnt make you a werewolf. it makes you want something really bad. if you have a sense of entitlement, you’ll stomp on whomever you have to to collect your “get mine” tax. people in prison arent necessarily ape-like buffoons but wise people dont skip naively down a path of increasingly dangerous and addictive drugs, forming a habit which they steal over and lands them in prison – even if they were talented in their trade as a mechanic.

Genetics do not dictate behavior. Hitler was proved wrong on that. you can have a propensity to be angry, violent, addicted to something, rapey – whatever. but just like average humans have evolutionarily wired responses of rage, selfishness, etc and yet find a way to function in polite society – people with a tick towards another vice area can do the same just as easily.

Hundreds of thousands of criminals are inherently evil people. Others are low intellect fools and then that fraction of a percentage I mentioned before are the supervillian geniuses and the “just got unlucky” rubes. Peoples lives are not predetermined nor sentient so if they take a wrong turn, it is because of the person, not their genes or circumstance. that is – for all except that fraction of a percent that are held hostage in Repunzal towers or otherwise literally and physically prevented from taking action with their own life. If that weren’t true then there would be no explanation for people who will themselves through death, destruction, poverty, violence, abuse, negligence or anything else since if you dont control your own life, such things would necessarily dictate mathematically absolutist numbers of those lives flatlining and never improving.

BRETT:
The kinds of things that lead people to use hard drugs usually stem from a shitty set of initial circumstances – shitty or missing parents, crime-ridden communities, economic oppression being the stem. These people are more prone to use drugs and are not wealthy enough, nor do they have the resources to provide a legitimate income, from which they can blow it all on the drugs. I don’t know of many junkies that work 9 to 5 jobs (not that I know any junkies at all, for that matter), but I would guess this working class addict you speak of is quite the exception to the rule. There are of course alcohol addicts everywhere that don’t cheat and steal to get their drink, but the people that drink alcohol are not always the same ones that get addicted to prescription drugs or hard street drugs.

Making wrong choices is usually the hallmark of what becomes a criminal life. I know it sounds nearly Christian to say, but by keeping away from bad associations people can avoid a lot of trouble, and the problem is that like attracts like, so addicts get to know addicts, and successful people their like. It breeds a cycle, as I referred to earlier, because they keep kicking out god damn children who turn out just like them (our friend Matt DiColla, the super piece of shit that said he wanted to rape megan, has 4 kids. Low class people outbreed the wealthy and fill the prisons). You can’t tell me that a kid raised by a crackhead mother who was selling drugs and using them by age 12 has the same chance — even with an identical twin — speaking theoretically — as succeeding in a middle class “moral” (seems to be your main thrust on most things) family. Morals are inculcated into children…we agree on that. The fact that some get it and some don’t pretty much is, not a genetic lottery, but a circumstance lottery, which was what I was trying to imply earlier, but I see where I left room for some ambiguity.

“Family Lottery,” Separate twins and put them in opposite cirumstances, but only for entertainment value — new reality show.

RICHARD:
It’s not a shock or being contested that people in shitty situations make shitty choices, but that is because human nature is selfish. You’re saying we’re bound to that nature in a predetermined genetic code and i’m saying thats bunk cuz everyone aside from a very small group with psychiatric problems is perfectly able to not just do what is easiest and they do it all the time. a crackhead raised kid and a middle class raised kid have the same opportunities if they’re raised the same way with the same moral code and access to information, im saying. the shitty drug addicted mother raises a baby that continues the cycle only because of the way its raised, not because she’s passing on selfish genes. if that were true then the president would be smoking crack and have 14 illegitimate kids somewhere like his dad right now. his dad was shit. his mom was shit, but luckily she dumped him off on his upper class grandmother in hawaii who was able to raise him and thus the genes of 2 selfish drug addicted irresponsible parents produced a united states senator and president.
I would definitely tune into Family Lottery! lets pitch it to a studio!

Definitely dont disagree (idk how anyone could) that shitty surroundings will handicap a person into keeping the shitchain goin strong. The loss of community is a big deal, but the loss of personal responsibility is also a big deal. Crime went DOWN during the Great Depression in many cities and there was cultural attitude of “be thankful for what youve got and be happy”. now these same cities blame everyone else and their dog for their problems and rebel against society instead of work to make it better, as you put it.

Electronic Pickpocketing

richard — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 17:51:21 +0000

Coolest new mode of theft in awhile:

Credit card issuers, along with the U.S. State Department, have begun installing radio frequency identification (RFID) chips in credit cards and passports because the technology holds more data than magnetic stripes and can be read quicker.

But, that convenience, experts warn, can also put people at risk of having their information taken.

“I wouldn’t walk around in public with my cards exposed like that,” said Walt Augustinowicz, founder of ID Stronghold. “It’s too easy to do.”

RFID chips are commonly found in cards used to raise gates in parking garages and unlock doors at businesses. All one has to do is simply swipe the card in front of a reader.

Within the last few years, that same technology has been introduced to credit cards and U.S. passports, potentially putting holders at risk of being ripped off.

It doesn’t matter if the cards are kept in a wallet or a purse since they can transmit through them when prompted by a RFID reader, which are for sale on eBay.

Augustinowicz said it amounts to electronic pickpocketing.

“[At Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport], where you’ve got lots of crowds and a lot of people moving back and forth, no one is going to think anything of you walking by them with a briefcase with a higher-powered reader in it,” he said.

Using free software, he showed what hackers when using a RFID reader on a credit card. The account number and expiration date pop up on the computer screen almost instantaneously after the reader gets within a few inches of the card.

The only credit cards that are vulnerable are those that allow users to tap or pass a reader to pay rather than swiping. Some might also have a symbol on them that indicate they transmit.

Good News: “Minority Report” (Movie) reality might be coming soon

richard — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 03:18:20 +0000

Alternate Headline: Scientific Study suggests precognition may be possible.

If you never saw Minority Report, it’s a Tom Cruise movie where he plays a cop who arrests people before they commit the crime they’re being arrested for based on reports printed from data mined from 3 physics kept in a pool. yeay!

In one experiment subjects, all of whom were students, were briefly shown a word list and then asked to recall as many as they could. Later, they were asked to copy a list of words randomly selected from the same list by a computer. The surprising result of this experiment was that in the recall section of the experiment the subjects recalled at a significantly higher rate words they were later asked to type, even though they had no way of knowing which words would be on the list.

In another experiment subjects were shown images of two curtains alongside each other on a computer screen and told one was concealing a picture (sometimes of an erotic nature), while the other concealed a blank screen. They were then asked to click on the one they “felt” was hiding the picture. When the curtain was selected it was opened to reveal what was behind it. This was repeated 36 times for each subject, and the picture positions were computer-selected and random.

In the 100 sessions subjects consistently selected the correct curtain 53.1 percent of the time for the erotic pictures, significantly over the 50 percent expected by pure chance. For the non-erotic pictures, the success rate was only 49.8 percent.

In a third experiment Bem reversed a common test in which subjects are shown one of the words “Ugly” or “Beautiful,” and then shown a picture of something unpleasant (such as a snake), or pleasant (such as a puppy or kitten), and the subject is asked to quickly decide if the picture is pleasant or unpleasant. In Bem’s reversal experiment the subject was shown the picture first and was required to respond as fast as possible and was then shown the word, which was randomly selected by the computer.

Lohan cries in court

richard — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 07:29:26 +0000

? Li-Lo, Li-Lo, it’s off to jail you go… ?Lindsay Lohan is facing three months behind bars after she violated her 3-year-long probation on a drunk driving charge. In 2007 the actress pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drug charges and three driving charges and spent 84 minutes in prison before her release. A judge in California said Lohan had failed to attend court-ordered alcohol education classes. The actress burst into tears as the verdict was announced. The surrender date is July 20, 2010.

Good for you ~~Judge Judy~~ lady judge… it’s so bizarre to see Lohans defense of why she didn’t comply with the loose terms of her probation because “i was working” and “with children” no less. then when the ruling is read she does the whole “are you serious??” shock reaction. jail?? for breaking the law that was placed on me after i was allowed to not go to jail after breaking the law?? omfg!!!11. on the other hand though, i think its really fkked up that news cameras are allowed in the court room. seems like a big invasion of privacy (says the guy who embeds the video directly the below this sentence)…

not enough for you? here’s the extended footage. 11 minutes of…yikesness…
