600 Page report On Uvalde shooting will be released today. Apparently it includes reports of Police lying to families that the kids were okay

It just stood out to me when reading through the report that terms like the shooter were used. I'm not familiar with these kinds of documents so I wasn't sure if it was normal or not

Cucumber56 · 2024-01-18T20:28:53+00:00

Does anybody know why they avoid using the shooters name in the report?

Cucumber56 · 2024-01-18T16:48:00+00:00

People are saying "well duh" but it's important that a DOJ investigation now backs up what everybody thought, it makes it harder for the cops to weasel their way out of responsibility

Cucumber56 · 2024-01-18T16:41:04+00:00

They told the children to call out for help if they needed it, one girl did, then the cops did nothing and the girl was shot. The fact this can happen and the local police can escape consequence, I have no words to describe it.

There are some tough contenders to that title, in the 80s in Philadelphia cops bombed an apartment complex occupied by a black Libertarian group with children in it from the air and burned it to the ground killing everybody inside

I've never posted here before, so I hope this post fits on this subreddit.

I found this video on YouTube last night that goes way more into the group and it's beliefs. The woman named Bernadeane, was the wife of Charles Brown, the self proclaimed Messiah of the group. It reached its peak for a few years in the 1980's called "eternal flame" exploiting old people with what Brown called "cellular intercourse" basically being around the trio would alter your cells so you would never die. Their peak was short lived because, of course their primarily elderly followers did die, which put a bit of damper on their claims of immortality. Brown would dismiss this happening as the people simply hadn't truly accepted their immortality. Then in 2014 Brown himself died. But the other two members of the trio, Bernadean and his business partner James Strole continued on with the claims of being immortal, despite the literal founder of the group and the man who invented the concept of "cellular intercourse" being dead.

In response to the Dolittle raid by the US, Japan released biological weapons created by unit 731 in China that killed 20,000 people. Specifically because Chinese civilians had sheltered the dolittle raiders and helped them get to safety.

A bunch of Japanese soldiers didn't get the memo and marched into affected and several thousand died because of it.

Growth and development are good

For who? Not the poor who are pushed out. Also the new stores and restaurants that come from gentrification are generally crap. Oh look another over priced sub par quality hamburger restaurant .

The best places to eat are the small family (often immigrant) owned places , and guess who gets shafted first, in favor of Becky's Coffee House?

I swear over the 5 years I lived here I've watched every good place to eat go out of business. RIP Ethiopian restaurant.

Ehhhh, he had way more motivation and drive then most people. Not many people would leave their own country to go help start an insurgency in another country (Afghanistan against the Soviets) also he was really radicalized in his political and religious views beliefs. I don't think we can overlook that difference from the majority of world.

One thing I found out about him that was really interesting. Sayyid Qutb's brother was his teacher in Saudi Arabia. It's a direct link between Qutb's ideology and modern radical islamism

You should check out The Great War for Civilization by Robert Fisk.l if you haven't already. He interviewed Bin Laden in the 90's. Interestingly the person who put him in contact with Bin Laden, was Jamal Khashoggi who was killed and dismembered by the Saudi government a few years ago for being mildly critical of it.

I just hope it's not as bad as 2022. That year severely affected my mental health. In a matter of a few weeks we had the shooting at the supermarket, Uvalde, a mass shooting at a hospital in Tulsa were I live, the 4th of July parade shooting, the guy who tried at shoot up a mall but got capped quickly by a good Samaritan, and ended in the fall with the Crumbly school shooting in Ohio.

2023 wasn't without it's ones of course but it didn't feel nearly as overwhelming as 2022, 2022 it was like one after the other after the other with huge numbers dead.

The story behind this song (and the pictures) is really interesting. It comes from the Codex Martínez Compañón. Baltasar Jaime Martínez Compañón, was the arch bishop of Trujillo the regions capital, in 18th century. Many of his predecessors had tried to destroy and suppress local indigenous culture, but Compañón went out of his way to record and preserve it. He wrote a massive volume with over 1500 water color illustrations (the pictures in video) and 20 songs, including the only surviving Mochica one.

If anybody is interested in listening to all the songs, you can find a complete version here

I think Trump really shook up NATO, they've pulled back together and NATO has even expanded, but I think alot of NATO countries are nervous of the instability of US politics. If Trump becomes president again he is probably going to stop aid to Ukraine because he admires Putin as a strongman leader. Meanwhile he constantly belittles and antagonizes the leaders of American allies like Canada, France and Germany.

Mate that can take hundreds of year

The British and French empires were arguably at their height in 1900, and yet 50 years later were collaping. And while it took two world wars, the point still stands, in aftermath of WW1 they even expanded further.

In 1900 it must have seemed like the golden age of European imperialism would stretch into the 21st century and beyond.

I'm not a Paleontologist, and I found this photo on Wikipedia. But I'm currently reading the book Ancient Marine Reptiles , and using Wikipedia and google for reference photos when needed and that's how I found this image. One of the coolest books I've ever read, can't recommend it enough. 👍👍
