  • This is such a terrible thing to say in a thread about a propaganda campaign to cover up a genocide. If I was more conspiracy minded I’d start to think it was a planned effort to distract from the topic at hand considering how often it comes up in these sorts of threads.

    Unfortunately, I actually think it’s just some asshole that wants to feel superior. Since that’s probably the case, I’m also pretty sure you’d label like half the midwest as Texas, and probably think that a trip to New York is just a quick 30 minute drive for people in Florida.

    So now that we’ve gotten our trite digs in on one another can we focus on the matter at hand? Cause I seriously doubt that the people being genocided give two fucks about this conversation.


  • Always has been. The flag they fly wasn’t even the Confederate States flag, but a made up amalgamation resurrected in 1948 by the Dixiecrats to opposed Civil Rights. All modern bullshit about the Confederacy is rooted in some post reconstruction era racist asshole trying to bring back the Confederacy for some other racist ass motivations.

    Never trust any racist ass inbred fuckwit when they say, “Heritage not hate” because that flag is solely based on hate. So was the confederacy for that matter. Now excuse me while I got back to writing petitions to get Confederate statues replaced with statues of John Brown.





  • Not sure where the above data is from but according to the below NIH study it’s about a 80% male, 20% female split. Which isn’t precisely what you were looking for but can probably give you a solid basis for inference.

    Also sort of interesting is that female patients were almost twice as likely to have a previously diagnosed psychiatric disease (23% of male patients and 49% of female patients). On the other hand, males were significantly more likely to have sustained a fracture (48% of the male patient and 11% of the female patients). For sure some stark contrast between the two but I don’t find that particularly surprising.

    What is surprising to me is that both males and female patients with previous visits for punching related injuries was about the same (23% of males and 29% of females). Would be nice to know the overlap of people with multiple punching related injuries that also have a psychiatric diagnosis, because I imagine they overlap quite heavily.

  • Just curious but have you looked into that story on the Aurora apartment complex past the reactionary headlines you’re cherry picking? It’s way more nuanced and has little to do with gangs. I kind of find it funny that you decided to backtrack with a different article because you didn’t even read the first one you posted.

    As for some nypost gibberish, I don’t care to read it. It’s obvious you’re a reactionary and have an agenda. The “immigrant problem” is a racist nationalistic bullhorn, and I suspect you fall into that crowd. Unless of course you support returning the US to the people that aren’t immigrant ancestors? Perhaps we could find some common ground there.


  • I’m not sure what you’re getting at. That article says in multiple places, and even implies it with the scare quotes in the title, that they didn’t find a bunch of gang members in that complex. So what exactly are you trying to say?

    Here’s a few quotes from that article:

    Aurora Police Department Interim Chief Heather Morris said in a statement on Friday that “gang members have not taken over” the complex.

    “I’m not saying that there aren’t gang members that don’t live in this community,” Morris said. “But what we’re learning out here is that gang members have not taken over this complex.”

    Morris stated that the local authorities have “really made an effort” in recent days to ask specific questions about gang activity in the area and at the complex.

    “Making sure that people aren’t paying rent to gang leaders or gang members,” she said.

    According to Morris, the residents they’ve spoken with have assured them that this isn’t happening, and she believes they are being honest.

    “We’re standing out here, and I can tell you that gang members have not taken over this complex.”








  • Walmart appeared to acknowledge the error in a statement released to the media.

    “We want our associates to feel safe and supported in their workplace, and we won’t tolerate bullying or threats of violence against our associates or customers,” Walmart spokesperson Joe Pennington said in a statement. “We’ve reviewed the situation and will be addressing it internally. We’ve also made multiple attempts to invite Ms. Davis to return to work, with back pay.”

    For once in my life I’d like to see one of companies respond in the same way that got them in the situation in the first place. Like if Walmart just responded, “lol fuck you idc” it would actually make me less angry than this bullshit.
