  1. This “girl” was anything but mentally ill.  She was blinded by hate and acted on it because well, there are people out there including many of our politicians and news media who will until their dying breath tell her and those like her that she was the victim.  
     

    The same goes for the extremists on the other side.  It’s here to stay.  Buckle up.

    I believe we’re envisioning two different things when speaking of mental wellness.  Gender identity is not a concern of mine. Live and let live as far as I’m concerned. I’m speaking about issues that actually prevent an individual from being a stable, functioning member of society. 

    I won't speak for Greg, but I don't think he was talking about "gender identity" specifically as a topic, but rather the types of things that trigger people into completely absurd emotional responses.

  3. I use Italian Dressing for quick stuff, but my favorite is a white vinegar, olive oil, melted butter, salt, and pepper mixture.  Mix it half vinegar/half oil and then about a tablespoon of melted butter (for help browning), a tablespoon or so of kosher salt and as much pepper as you like.  You will have to keep mixing it as you use it.   Don't marinate the chicken in it, just brine the chicken and then start basting/mopping it on the chicken with the mixture as soon as you put it on the grill.  I have yet to have one person that doesn't like it.   It's best on chicken that has the skin on it, but works great on all.

  4. I feel like I probably have to clarify.  
     

    Obviously learning about history is good.   Creating a project that seems to be deliberately designed to inevitably create a way to prove racism is just wrong. 

    I would honestly not have my kid do it and explain why

  5. There are a lot, but anymore the #1 thing that seems to be lacking is the ability of kids to cope with adversity and failure.  They need to learn how to deal with adversity and failure and even understand what is even worth caring about.  Failure is a great teacher.   

    Putting them in positions to fail is not all bad.  They need to then use some reasoning to figure out why they failed and how they can improve next time regardless of the scenario.

  6. Sold.

     

    This is an SEB Mini-X with F-Class products adjustable feet with a Rodzilla 5 Axis top installed.  The original Mini top, bag, and feet components all come with it.   I actually bought two of these because I wasn't sure which top I would prefer and for the style of shooting I do and the rules, I need to stick with an adjustable sandbag top which on on my other one.

    If you are familiar with the SEB products, you will know there is about an 8-12 month wait for most items.  The 5 Axis top is great and if you aren't familiar with it, I encourage you to look it up.  It alone is $600.

    Prefer to sell locally before I put it on one of the other national sites and have to ship it.

    $xx.  Will meet within a 30 mile drive of Chapel Hill.

    Any questions, just let me know.

  7. Caution is probably warrented.  No one knows what is going to happen, but you can bet there will be some agitators out.  I have to go to a wake over by Briley/40 on the west side of Nasvhille tonight.  I would normally drive my car, but tonight will be my 4x4 truck with plenty of self defense options.  It's sad to say, but you just don't know when stupid things are going to happen.  I really hope no one tries to block highways.

  8. To be honest, no one needs to see the video except the Prosecutors, jury, and family.   All showing it does is initiate the next killing of someone innocent, whether that be a person or cop.  

    This is not a special situation.  It happens every day to thousands of people, but this one fits into a narrative.

    The sad thing is that this will cause even more people to run from police. Why pull over if there is a chance you could get beat to death. 

    Why own a gun if there is a chance it will kill someone unintended?  Why take a vaccine if there is a chance it will do you harm?  Why anything?

    I am not Black and I am not saying I can relate to everything.   But I have worked with police all over the world for 25 years and while some are meat heads, I don't know of one who is shooting someone for cooperating.  There is a cause and effect and we have lost site of the root cause in 99.9% of these situations in my opinion.

    As my 6th grade teacher told me and I still tell others today.  There are excuses and there are reasons.   Running and not cooperating is an excuse, not a reason.

    In both of the sh*tty jobs I had in my youth that involved placing handcuffs on people, there was always a huge emphasis placed on deescalation.  I don’t understand why the so called law enforcement officers of today can’t comprehend this simple skill. 
     

    Very good point @Chucktshoes.  I’m terrified of getting pulled over, because I’m immediately at the mercy of someone’s insecurities when they see a huge black man. A fear many will never understand. 

    While I am sure that is how you feel, I am also pretty confident that you would not run from them or escalate the situation.  There are exceptions to every rule, but for the most part if you act like a normal person, you will be treated like a normal person.  

    De-escalation should be standard operating procedure, but it should be on all parties to deescalate if they are really worried about their lives.  Even with these 5 cops being jackwads, I highly suspect we would be having a different conversation if the kid killed had just bit his tongue and cooperated.  

    Doesn't make it right, but I would bet big money it would make it true.

  11. Not condoning a beating at all, but every one of these seems to involve someone fighting with the cops and then running.  If you didn't do anything wrong, why run.  Even if it was for a minor violation, when are these people going to realize that running only makes it worse.

    The result doesn't fit the crime it sounds like, but jeez I just can't imaging thinking anything good is going to come from fighting with a group of cops.  Good ones or bad ones for that matter.
