Just an update on this, protestors said later they're heading back to Brooklyn Center because they need more information about what happened in Burnsville first. //

First problem? The suspect was white, like most of the people who are shot by the police. So, pretty hard to argue the narrative.

Second problem? Not only did the guy fire at the police, a lot, he also carjacked a woman and took off in her vehicle. The police chased him, he shot at them and then abandoned the vehicle. He then pointed a gun at another motorist and then tried to carjack another car.

Young continued, "The thing that randos who have never had to actually work with rms don't understand is that MANY people who deeply respected him tried to help him learn to not objectify women, shout over others at Libreplanet as if it was his birthday party, stop sh*t like 'emacs virgins.'

Instead, "That energy, utterly wasted, could've been spent advocating for free software and building the inclusive, impractical community so many people WANT. Spent, instead, on a man's ego, over and over."

Matthew Garrett, a well-known Linux kernel developer and former FSF board member, tweeted, "The idea that someone who does enough "good work" earns a pass for inappropriate behavior is pervasive, and fosters environments where abusers can prosper. People who hold this belief shouldn't be involved in running organizations."

It depends which party t are from whether or not they are approved

“As we saw last summer, some of the local governments are actually telling, not necessarily in Florida but throughout the country, basically telling these folks to stand down, telling police to stand down while cities burnt, while businesses were burnt, while people were being harmed,” the governor said. “That’s a dereliction of duty.”

He continued:

What our bill says, and what I’ll sign into law today, is that if you’re derelict in your duty as a local government, if you tell law enforcement to stand down, then you’re responsible for the damage that ensues. And if someone’s been harmed, or their property has been destroyed, then they can sue you for compensation.

The measure defines a riot as a violent demonstration involving three or more individuals engaging in activity that causes injury to others, damage to property, or threat of both. According to Newsmax, “the law also created a new second-degree felony called an ‘aggravated riot,’ when the riot has more than 25 participants, causes great bodily harm or more than $5,000 in property damage, uses or threatens to use a deadly weapon, or blocks roadways by force or threat of force.”

Dean Alfange, a “progressive” of his era and a labor activist, wrote 163 words, in the form of a letter, 70 years ago that was first published in Reader’s Digest in 1952.

“My Creed”

“I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon.

“I seek to develop whatever talents God gave me—not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.

“I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia.

“I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any earthly master nor bend to any threat.

“It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say – ‘This, with God’s help, I have done.’

“All this is what it means to be an American.”

A plaque of Alfange’s words, unattributed, and confusingly misnamed — as I explain below — in Hagerstown, Indiana.

Alfange’s “My Creed” should not be confused with “The American’s Creed,” written by “American public servant” William Tyler Page, (1868 1942) — who worked in the U.S. Capitol for 61 years — in 1917 and accepted by the U.S. House of Representatives on April 3, 1918, which also stands as a reverend testament to American patriotism — and against the clear and present danger posed by the radical left, who is determined to steal from us our country as we know it.

“I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

“I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.”

The trial memo of the Trump impeachment managers has a sentence that did not age well.

“The insurrectionists killed a Capitol Police officer by striking him in the head with a fire extinguisher.”

That sentence was sourced to a Jan. 8 NYT report with the headline, "Capitol Police Officer Dies From Injuries in Pro-Trump Rampage." But the story was updated after information emerged that cast doubt on that narrative. //

President Donald Trump was impeached in the House on Jan. 13 and the trial was between Feb. 9-13. So they had every reason to know prior to the trial, even from the CNN report on Feb. 2, that this claim of death from being struck with a fire extinguisher by insurrectionists was false. Indeed they should have known since the ABC report and my report on Jan. 10, that there wasn’t any evidence for the fire extinguisher story; they should not have claimed that without evidence. But they made the claim anyway. Indeed by Feb. 2, it was clear even to CNN that Sicknick had no blunt trauma injuries indicating he was ever physically hit by anything.

Had the medical examiner’s report come in before the impeachment trial, saying that Sicknick died due to two strokes, that probably would have heavily impacted what they were trying to sell to people at the impeachment trial between February 9-13. The medical examiner’s report just came out today, April 19, after waiting since January 7. The length of time it took to get the report is troubling, to say the least.
