#4 That's me. I don't go out unless I have too. Almost all shopping done in small country towns. #12 One of my favorite pictures of all time. #20 So good to know I'll never see a black Tarzan.
#16. The dead guy was banging the ex-wife of one of the officers. Marriage is white oppression that they try to force on pinheads of color. Exhibit A. Chicongo where the percentage of black children born to single mothers is nearly 100%. Yes, I know that marriage is common in Africa, but these are not Africans, they are ( fill in the blank, my anger can't be put to prose.)
That must be why the released videos don't show the first encounter with the victim; the earliest one opens with MPD yanking his ass out of the car and trying to get him in cuffs.
#12, Looks oh so bad. Except for the fact that the guy had just been captured after leading a hit squad that executed 34 people, including at least 7 police officers, several Americans, and a number of police officers families, with their hands bound behind their backs, over a pit. The officer was one of the good ones who actually deserved his job, not being appointed by nepotism. So while that picture likely shortened the war, due to the American people crying foul, the man who was shot? Yeah, fuck him.
General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan, and what a stud he was, the wikipedia article doesn't tell the half of it. Do a web search for images and you'll get a different picture of the man. Flew airstrikes against North Viet Nam, lost a leg to machine gun fire, and had just lost an officer who that asshole had massacred along with nearly the officer's entire family. One child survived and later became an American citizen, graduated from the naval academy at Annapolis and retired as an Admiral. Eddie Adams, the photographer who snapped that pic, became friends with Loan and later expressed regret, saying he had killed the general with his camera. The one and only good thing that Jimmy Carter ever did as President was to stop the expulsion of Loan from the United States.
Thanks for that reminder, H. The lesson of this photo should be required reading in every journalism school today but I dream. Our lives continue to be haunted by the same ideological presumptions and resultant mistakes that sprouted so prolifically in that era.
#20. Watched beast last night on Amazon. Protagonist was a big black man. When at the end the lion charged him he threw the only weapon he had, a knife, at the lion. Then tried to out run it. A black Tarzan would not last through the opening credits.

And in Bidets America the criminals now go free. How long until we see vigilante justice done to some of our elite criminals?
DeleteThe guy with the Smith was probably saying, "I've got elephants to butcher; quit bothering me with field mice."
