This. Even if we view this as corruption of their original mission (it isn’t), at a certain point, the only thing to do with a structure that’s rotted so much is to pull it down and start fresh. Corruption is cancer, and allowing any corrupt entities to exist within the system means that corruption will spread back in.
Or start deputizing people who will. Police say they won’t help? There’s plenty of people out there who will. The admin wants to claim it’s a Wild West city? Treat it like one.
What about the innocent Red Sox fans?
Bingo. Drag your feet, use up time. File shitty motions you know won’t work to tie up the courts. Sabotage is hard work, but slowing the gears of the Orphan Crushing Machine is important and actually pretty easy to do when it’s the federal government.
Remember, squids: if you’re in a big city, cops are better at responding to one big thing in one location than ten medium sized things across the entire metro.
Oh it gets more fun, because if you have to go by ambulance like I did, you get a bill from the ambulance company. The one I had tried to quadruple charge me and had to be told multiple times that the bill was paid, they can’t keep making up new charges because “we forgot one thing” or “rates changed”.
Luckily it was all worker’s compensation, so I didn’t pay a cent, but it was a rather interesting 6 months.
I’m sure they’re being pushed to not decline ANYONE. You aren’t hiring the numbers they want to hire if you decline anyone with a pulse and the ability to hold a firearm.
This. They need some form of actual income, and ad revenue gives them theoretical capital to loan against.
The issue is whether he’s in MN anymore. I’m sure for “safety reasons” he’s out threatening people in TX or Oregon or whatever.
Actually likely no. Being LGBT is a potential cause to decline a security clearance.
Yeah, I’d be willing to bet he’s been flown out on an ICE plane to Texas or Florida or DC. You’d need to involve federal law enforcement in actually arresting him if he’s fled the state, and that will go over like a wet fart with the department who keeps saying he’s done literally nothing wrong.
One of the things they teach cops (and some CCW holders): if you’re going to shoot someone, kill them. It’s easier to put words in a corpse’s mouth.
Pretty much this. The average American is homeless without their next paycheck, if not dead. We do not have social medicine, we do not have safety nets of any sort. We don’t have a culture of mutual aid despite what we might claim, nor enough charities to bridge the gaps. Being homeless is effectively a death sentence in much of the US, anyway - if the cops don’t kill you, it’s a good chance that the weather will.
Napoleonic France too.
Oh nah, they’re selling it at market rate, but the money goes into a PERSONAL ACCOUNT FOR TRUMP. Not into a government fund.
Dude just extorted about 2 billion bucks for himself, with more on the way if he keeps seizing tankers.
By his logic, that one DOGE kid that allegedly got assaulted by a bunch of teens deserved it because he couldn’t fight back.
Shipping. The Arctic is expected to become a huge shipping lane soon thanks to melting ice.
NWS has largely lost the ability to do that. The NOAA data just isn’t there thanks to DOGE tearing the agency to shreds.
This wasn’t just the Panthers, there were plenty of armed volunteers during the Civil Rights movement. I highly recommend “This Nonviolent Stuff Will Get You Killed”.
Actually, at least according to this article, the charter does state that any funds will be personally controlled by Trump (or whoever he designates as his successor).
