Yep, some college kids make mistakes, this is one BIG one.
Beautiful and stupid.////? Ain’t got no tits.
Then I Sirius Lee don’t care whether she lives or dies in prison.
I heard that white girls being inducted into black groups such as BLM, black fraternities, et al, have a special initiation rite they go through. True???
“Why doesn’t she she use her “white privilege “ to get out of jail?”
Because she doesn’t have a purple mohawk and fish hooks hanging from her eyelids. You can’t be privileged without the right facial ornaments that appeal to black commies.
I just finished watching a documentary about Charles Manson. Wow it’s hell on earth all over again. Black lives matter and what is going on now is just a repeat of 1969. Some of the original players are back in the game again. Same old, same old.
...show me a pressure bandage.

That video from Kenosha? The *medic* takes the victim’s tshirt, wads it up and applies it, with pressure, to a cheek graze while he’s drooling and bubbling blood. They examine the anterior torso, can’t find a wound, never check elsewhere and the guy bleeds out internally from a pelvic shot and a back torso wound.
I was waiting for her to apply a tourniquet to his neck.
And I’m not officially trained.
...their lives are being ruined every bit as much as they are ruining our lives. A lose-lose.

Had a conversation 4 years ago with the wealthy,
never-worked-a-day, Marin County mother of two of them. Mommy was defending the *poor kids^ (married and moms themselves in their 20s) who were just so devastated when Hill lost because *they’d worked so hard*, that they each called mom several times, in hysterics and depressed.
I called them stupid and left the room.
Found out last week mom is in the babbling, but happy, state of dementia. As far as I’m concerned, she’s been there for 20 years and interactions just became so difficult they were impossible. The girls were raised to be prog idiots.
And their father is a hard-working conservative entrepreneur for whom I do feel some compassion. But he allowed the kids to be inculcated and spent his marriage shielding his wife & daughters from reality and indulging them.
A waste of oxygen, all of them.
Sorry. Not sorry.
Three felonies would be tough if not impossible for any lawyer to try and walk their client away from. And no prosecutor in their right will let anyone walk from something like this either. Daddy’s money isn’t go to buy her way out of this one.
But it could be that some of the misdemeanors like ‘’failure to disperse’’ could be dropped. She might not do jail time but there will be probation , heavy fines court costs and a felony criminal record that will dog her for years. Yeah honey, so playing ‘’social justice warrior’’ wasn’t so cool after all, was it?

So you’re not wrong—but I’m also not inherently against this either, as long as it’s not for carrying out activity that is criminal or unethical. Look I’m all for individual freedom, but I think one problem that the right wing has compared to the left is sometimes we’re individualistic to a fault, and because of this, we are nowhere near the level of organization that you see from the left with the rabble in the street. Can’t just dismiss it as “they don’t have jobs”—some don’t, but many DO have very high paying jobs at tech companies or media companies. Imagine if we could get organized to protest against the injustice shown towards Michael Flynn, or law abiding gun owners getting harassed by out of control DAs. I still lean individualist, but I think the right could adopt more of a sense of community amongst each other for internal support.
Sorry to be so slow to reply. You have put your finger on an essential contradiction for those generally called “conservatives” in politics. (I think most “conservatives” are really 19th Century liberals before the brand was destroyed by socialism). Freedom, i.e., the ability to believe or not, and act or not, based on one’s own choices, is experienced at the individual level. Americans who value “freedom” naturally gravitate to “individualism” and are repelled by collectivist politics, values, and action.
Yet there really is strength in numbers. A motivated, organized gang can have its way in the short term, and in the long term via politics, when the only opposition is unorganized and anomalous.
To take a step beyond Burke, Good Men tend to remain silent, affording evil a space to prosper. It is not out of fear or apathy, but because of the Golden Rule: they abhor dictating to others (almost) as much as being dictated to. While our opponents feel empowered by the anonymity of the mob, I am disgusted by crowds, noise, disorder, and what passes for political activism. This gives them an inherent advantage. I don’t know the answer to this, other than that we have to defeat the wolfpacks by sheer force of will and the occasional puff of smoke in extremis.
One area I think has potential is creating a NAME/ identity/brand for non-leftists, based on values we share. “Antifa” and “BLM” draw strength merely by having a name.
By contrast, we are weak and atomized at present, because we don’t have a coherent identity. “Conservative” has roots in agrarian wealth, a landed aristocracy, and a State religion. This has been overlaid with Goldwater small-state politics, Reagan de-centralization, some deficit hawking, and nostalgia for a happy Mayberry world that never was, while triumphantly forgetting our imperfections. The term does not reflect my values, and is used to portray non-Leftists as backwards-looking rubes. I am all for change, improvements, a stronger economy with policies that work for all, embracing technology, etc. — Lord knows the Hollywood/media mirage that passes for a common culture is nothing I want to conserve.

DING DING DING this guy gets it. The thing is, it won’t necessarily take much either. We can re-vamp existing institutions as well instead of investing the wheel from scratch:
-Church groups. We’re all adults here, so I’m just going to say it like it is. A lot of church groups I’ve seen are just places for women in their 30s and 40s to talk about whatever it is what women that age talk about. We need church groups for men too.
-Hunting and fishing clubs.
-Even just getting to know your neighbors more. Maybe some of you in the rural areas don’t have this problem, but I’m a city guy and I’m guilty of this one myself. I don’t know a bunch of people in my apartment complex. No wonder why people weren’t defending their neighborhoods against the riots...are you going to fight for your neighborhood, when you don’t even know who your neighbors are?
There’s more but just some starting point examples.
Wow, Parents of your home-grown terrorist, that was money well spent.
