You should have gone. I think the outside speech for the overflow crowd was cancelled (no overflow crowd?)

Inside the stadium the upper decks seem pretty deserted so far. You could have gone in AND socially distanced.

Do you think he’ll get the clue that his rock star card was revoked? Me either.

The actual story is kinda bat shit when you see how you get from "point A" to they are poisoning cops: https://nypost.com/2020/06/22/how-ny...piracy-theory/

Yup. I jumped out on it too quickly. Once I saw the Shake Shack tweet, it seemed to me like there was something there.

Brooks was on probation. The encounter went from "cooperative" to "combative" when Brooks was told he was being arrested. That triggered him to try to fight and run because the arrest sends him back to prison. Oh, and yeah, just for good measure, let's steal an officers taser and fire it back at him, ostensibly to disable.

Ya know. If you are already on probation, how about not drinking, then getting in a car to pass out in a Wendy's drive through line? Maybe you'd still be alive?

As to the DA. Maybe following usual procedure and putting the case in front of a Grand Jury might be the peoper course of action here? But Democrats seem to always want to take shortcuts to divert attention away from their own local failures just to spin a narrative to protect their own hides- like in Minneapolis, Baltimore, Seattle, New York, etc.

Amazing that the cities with the biggest problems in all of this have been controlled by Democrats for decades. The "Conversation regarding "Change"" always seems to end before it gets there though.

2020 has been the longest year in my recent memory and we still have a presidential election to get through.

It's the longest since the last leap year.

Can we please view this Bubba Wallace case as instructive of what the world has become? Holy fuck, what a joke.

Exactly. I support law enforcement investigating crimes, but Bubba Wallace, Nascar, and the media went into hyperdrive over this before anything was really known. They love to keep people's emotions high...basicallly stoking the fire.

I read this earlier today, and now the FBI just announced there was nothing to this.
