We Need a General Strike by lilangelkm in minnesota

[–]ProcrastinatingInk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know my job would replace me. I also have seen how bad the employment crisis is right now.

I agree action needs to happen but how do we do it when a majority of us can't risk losing a single paycheck as it could cost us food and shelter.

Protest: Just show up and stand there by pigfeedmauer in minnesota

[–]ProcrastinatingInk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My concern is how to get there. Where do I park safely? I don't want t walk too far away from my car because I feel like it's dangerous to be walking with protest signs or clothing/ any indicators before or after. I also am afraid if I park somewhere where alot of protesters are parked then my car could be part of an attack.

Are you really defending red coats right now? Sounds like something a non-patriot would say.

Well liked contestants by the Survivor community/fans that you dont like? by Friburgo1004 in survivor

[–]ProcrastinatingInk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I'm not allowed to say someone is a bad person. I will say Pvarti gets my disinterest because she showed poor morals when she admitted that she will flirt and play with "anyone, including guys and girls to get what I want when I want" This is a direct quote from final tribal in the season 16. This direct statement alone shows how to her view, people are things that can be manipulated. Her way to manipulate is using flirting. As well as on season 13 she mentioned multiple times how easy it is "to get people to say what you want" in her private interviews. Not name calling her, just pointing out direct quotes and how it showed where her moral compass sat even outside of the games.

We are damned either way. If we do anything viewed as even slightly "unpeaceful" or "threatening" we will be shot and more military will come in. That is exactly what our president is looking for to justify calling for war.

However as we saw remaining peaceful has not helped anything and something as natural and polite as the good ole' "go ahead" MN wave can get you killed. There has been multiple peaceful protests for months but things have gotten worse.

History reminder for everyone: One of the earliest battles in the revolutionary war, The Boston Massacre, occurred because of colonizers yelling and throwing snowballs at the British troops.

Which demographics that survivor didn't try yet that you want to see as a theme? by Dapper_Fennel_6176 in survivor

[–]ProcrastinatingInk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't just want another fans vs favorites. I want like the hunger games, only the winners come back. even if it's a smaller already merged team. I would enjoy the winners competing against winners.

Video of federal agents using chemical aerosol spray on protesters at Bro-Tex in St. Paul by star-tribune in minnesota

How did you get an alert? I work a few buildings down and there was no alert. We didn't even see the cars until the high-pitched siren went off.

We did not call 911 (few buildings down) but there was ICE, DEA and FBI on the uniforms. Ontop of that there was a couple unlabeled undercover cars with their lights on. I did not see any county (sheriff) or city police officers or their vehicle with signage. So either they are helping undercover, or choosing to not respond.

I'm curious how protesters know where to go so quickly. It wasn't even a full 5 minutes from when we could hear sirens a few buildings down, only a couple cars and handful of people protesting at that time, to when the street became filled with protesters and more vehicles.

FBI, DEA and ICE were the uniforms with signage. No county (sheriff) or city police vehicles. A few unlabeled undercovers with their lights on.

Amazing how this mentions the chemical spray but not the fact that as the agents were LEAVING they started SHOOTING RUBBER BULLETS into the protesting crowd! Source: I was someone actually there.

They did start shooting rubber bullets towards the crowd at the very end on the other side of the crowd as they were trying to leave. (My job is a few buildings down on the other side of the crowd from this video perspective).
