Have we Talked about the New Mexico Protest Shooting yet?
- Thread starter keenfish
- Start date
While he was acting in self defense at time of shooting (and the person who got shot was swinging a skateboard at him), he was also there to cause trouble (walking around with a can of mace, throwing multiple people to the ground, etc). So he'll probably be charged with some sort of assault, but I doubt he'll get any legal trouble for firing his gun.
I'm honestly surprised this hasn't happened sooner.
I am 100% down for protests, but if you start violently attacking people who don't agree with you then anything goes.

Yup.
Video pre-shooting shows protestors and those trying to protect the statue with both playing king of the mountain.
The shooter is not obviously seen with a firearm so appears he was concealed carrying.
Hopefully this puts a damper on the mob violence and skateboards as weapons trend du jour.
Aunt Jemima brand to change name, remove image that Quaker says is 'based on a racial stereotype'
“We recognize Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype," Quaker Oats said, adding that the move is an effort "toward progress on racial equality."
callng someone "aunt" is just as bad as referring to a group as "you people"

A woman in my office just said "So Aunt Jemima lost all that weight and had the makeover for nothing?"
I am sorry but you don't get to go around the country stomping people's heads in that disagree with you. Plenty more where that came from. Let this be a warning to all the loser socialists and a Paul Revere to everyone who gives a damn about freedom.
So...it is racist to put a nice picture of a smiling black woman on a bottle of syrup, but not racist if the smiling woman was white? Got it.Aunt Jemima brand to change name, remove image that Quaker says is 'based on a racial stereotype'

What's gonna happen in Hawaii, where all older folks of long time local descent are called "Auntie" and "Uncle"?
Will that have to go aloha too?

Because it wasn't insulting or a stereotype. It's a picture of the guy who made the cookies.
Aunt Jemima was dressed in slave garb and literally looked like a house slave, and... one of the former ladies used on the package was a slave.
Speaking of Aunt Jemima.. we never used that syrup or pancake mix when growing up.
It was always Bisquick pancake mix and Mrs. Butterworth syrup.
I'm not going to lie. I made the best pancakes in HS with Bisquick and Mrs. Butterworth syrup. It was the best.
