    Only thing that would top that would be a B-52 carpet bombing the neighborhood.

    How did that work out for the driver in Minneapolis yesterday? He got arrested.

    Did they attack the truck first?. Hard to tell from the new channel video footage, almost looks like he charged the crowd at speed when the truck first enters the frame. Kinda hard to claim self defense if you are purposefully advancing towards the perceived threat.

    Whatever the case, the circumstances appeared quite different from that poor Fedex driver. I feel for whoever that was. Even if they avoid criminal charges, you just know the family are going to come after them for civil.

    He must have been sitting on the shoulder somewhere, because the road had been closed off for 40 minutes.

    I will be the first to say that I don’t have the answers... but people responding to the rioters (Business Owner defending his business charged for shooting a rioter, drivers unwilling to stop in the middle of a riot, etc) are being arrested and charged while the rioters are allowed to riot, burn, loot, etc... Rinse Repeat...

    I was totally on board against the “injustice” of a handcuffed man dying while in police custody ... and would stand in support of anyone expressing their Rights of Free Speech, Assembly... to peacefully assembling and protesting... but the riots, looting, arson, destruction of communities... nope, you just lost me.

    instead of being unified against an injustice, we are all now, once again, Divided... someone is benefiting from this and it’s no one on the front lines.

    Was at family dollar for over three hours, better than last time I went to family dollar warehouse. Last time I was in the dock for ten hours. Doing a reset at pilot in tom's brook since Im low on hours. Hoping to get sent back to WM at least or further west. Was nice running back and forth from WM to west coast for almost two months.
