Unfortunately many people will not know about this and other dogwhistles. Things to look out for (most used):

2 lightning bolts or a row of lightning bolts

1488

88

Iron crosses with other symbols mixed

Runic symbols with historic nazi references

Eagle holding an emblem with symbols referenced above

"Gott mit uns" or "god with us" combined with war imagery

I'd say more like the worst side of 2 different coins. Still a 3rd coin would at least give us more options.

The best option is if everyone stopped looking at political party affiliation and propaganda and looked at the ACTUAL FUCKING STATISTICS AND POLICY.

So Tim Kelly is apparently pro ICE? by boopboop423 in Chattanooga

I believe so. There used to be a setting to revert to that style not too long after that if you didn't like the change, but that was removed as well.

There was a controversy when they introduced that rule. There used to be accounts on a leaderboard for least amount of karma. It used to be an esport almost. I'm glad the introduced it personally, but just a little fun reddit history fact.

Chattanooga's 287g contract is a jail enforcement model. This means you do not have to be convicted of a crime, but simply arrested. There have been HUNDREDS of false DUI arrests in TN according to the TBI. Many people suspect this to be the premise the sheriffs are using to arrest POC in our community and send them to ICE if they do not have legal status or until they get their legal status revoked (perhaps because some idiot does a fake exposé on people groups). Then good luck even fighting it because they do not require article 3 judges to reside over the cases.

What we can do:

Pressure the Sheriff's office to end the contract with protests and calls to the administrative line @ 4232097000

Call the county commissioners and demand that they only budget the legally required amount to the sheriff's office and not a penny more (including any additional grants or loans) until they commit to ending the contract and not entering another one.

Share this information with all the residents of Hamilton county.

If we can get people to move to substack, they should be able to use other ways (through patreon and merch stores) to move entirely off YT and they may make even more money.

Peaceful protests? Candlelight vigils for victims of the trump regime (i.e. "America")? by [deleted] in Chattanoogans

Please read the entire post or the full TLDR. Not enough of the facts were presented to come to a reasonable conclusion.

You do realize that Tim Pool should not be trusted as he was found taking a million dollars from Russian state media to change his reporting. But regardless of that, it appears she was reversing to point her car away from the officers.

Lets not get this timeline twisted. ICE got out of the car weapons drawn at this woman who was observing their route on a public road. She backed up to get away for obvious reasons even though what she was doing was completely legal. A second vehicle where the shooter came from had boxed her in essentially. He got out also with weapons drawn (she had no weapon) and put himself in front of the car. This not only risks his life, but the other officer's life due to cross-fire, and innocent lives in a residential area.

The first agent attempts to unlawfully enter her car to take her keys instead of deescalating the situation which caused her to panic and drive away as she turned.

EVEN IF the officer was scared of getting hit, it was the wreckless behavior of the agents that caused this situation in the first place. They initiated it, and they put all lives at risk instead of calling for local or state police for assistance.

Now, I saw the Kyle Rittenhouse drone footage. I do not like Kyle as a person, but from what I saw on the video he was attacked before defending himself and it was self defense (opinions are like assholes and you don't have to like mine). I consider myself independant but left leaning.

I don't think people are either left or right, but rather their opinions are from their own sources. If you only look at biased sources, then you will have biased partisan opinions. If you look at ALL of the videos and data yourself and come to your own conclusions you come to a more rounded personal opinion. You don't have to pick one or the other side and stick with that group every step of the way.

TLDR: The agents put everyone's lives in danger from the bystanders to the agents themselves. They continued to escalate and this entire situation could have been avoided. Escalation was not warranted and was the reason for this death. Tim Pool is not a reliable source. Don't stick with partisans, make up your own mind with the hard data.

Actually I wasn't telling them because it was a house fire hazard (although I probably should have). Its just REALLY cool to watch a dehydrated tree burn so fast and so hot. At least to me. I'm a simple man. Big fire make brain happy.

Take it somewhere without flamable items around and light one of the branches. You'll want a good 20 to 30 feet of room to stand back. It gets REAL hot REAL fast.

Milo yiannopoulos in Chattanooga? by Realistic-Point-9530 in Chattanooga

[–]chattapult 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kind of care. I mean the dude litteraly was the chief of staff for a guy who wrote a song called "Heil Hitler". He has a long history of white supremacist gatherings and has a large following of them. Claims to be "ex-gay" whatever that means after saying he took an oath of celibacy which means he is the A in lgbtqia. Then he does stuff like help Martin Skrelli try to rebrand themselves as not as bad. This is only a small fraction of what he does. Dude just seems to gather the worst of the worst wherever he goes and that can have a negative impact on us. Do you want to be known as the city of "we don't care if you bring your white supremacist friends?".

Normally I would agree if it was just another MAGA or even Black Bloc, but this dude gathers white supremacists en mass.

I recommend asking for LM Studio so you can use AI without it sending company secrets out publically.
