The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

That’s a moot point. Criminals kill people. Hopefully they get caught and punished.
:wow:

Per wants black people punished!!

Well not if they resist arrest I guess...

or maybe you posted this in another thread...

'Riots in Sweden after far-right activists burn Qur'an'

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/riots-in-s ... -1.5084699
Yup. A Danish far right group travelled to Malmö to burn a quran. Their leader was apprehended at the border and refused entry, but some of the others got through and played football, kicking around a quran for a while. The police held away counterprotesters, but later arrested three of the Danes. They’ll probbly just be let off with a warning though.

Then sadly riots broke out later in the night. People were supposedly upset, but as a local imam explained ”the people rioting aren’t even practicing Muslims, they are just people poorly adjusted to society to use this as an excuse to riot.”

Seems to have been a one off though. No reports of riots on the news this morning. :thumbs:

There's also lots of video of a large crowd of rioters loudly celebrating the murder.

Tonight in Portland BLM terrorists and Antifa murdered a Trump supporter in cold blood.

No altercation, no fight. He walked up behind him and assassinated him because of his political views.

“I am not sad that a f—ing fascist died tonight,” says a woman at the antifa gathering in downtown Portland. The crowd laughs and cheers. The ID of the deceased is not confirmed but he is believed to be a Trump & blue lives supporter.

Beginning to look like Trump’s reign has brought the country to the brink of a civil war... :(

The situation really calls for a statemanlike act of deescalation, but I’m not holding my breath. :|

Spoken like a true victim of Trump Derangement Syndrome! :lol:

UMMMMM. What has brought the country to the brink of a civil war are lefty nutjobs (no offense).

Hell, they started the demonstrations on the very day Lord Trump won the election!

The very day! So yeah, Lord Trump's "reign" obviously had nothing to do with it.

From Day One the goosestepping stooges were loyal to the commands from the Dem leaders who ordered:

"RESIST"

Great leadership right there, so much graciousness! :scowl:

"Don't accept the results of a fair election because the people who voted Trump into office are 'deplorable' racists!"

"You are the good guys and the other half of America are evil to the bone!"

That right there is how you set a clear path to civil war...

The Dem leadership has long been perpetuating the sick false narrative of the new President being a racist and a fascist.

It's the Dem leadership that have pushed America to the brink of civil war!

If the Dem Party can't have the power, they actually want America to burn. :wow:

They don't care what the people want, they don't care what's best for the people

... they don't have any principles or morals whatsoever!

They. Just. Crave. Power.

And the people knew they were corrupt (so too the Republicans) and that's why Trump won.

He promised to drain the swamp and the people knew that even if he failed (likely) the time had come to send a message.

All of the cities experiencing the major riots are controlled by Dems.

These Dem leaders allowed the riots to get out of control because they hoped folks would blame Trump.

That is going to backfire big time because the people see right through that particular bullshit.

The old Per was honest enough and did enough honest research to know everything I'm saying here is true.

This new Per, the one who circulates the bullshit I just quoted above... well I just don't know.

The end does not justify the means in this case Per!

From Day One the Dem leaders gave their followers the mantra: "Not my President".

Proof that if denied power they are hellbent on civil war and anarchy...

random: this is like an ol dirty bastard styles review! lol nutsack shaver review on amazon:
Alright.. since a lot of reviews dance around the subject let's just get right to it; you're looking at this product because you want to shave your cock and balls. Well let me reassure you, you've found the right product.

I've used electric trimmers before trying to do some bushwhacking, and nearly gave myself an accidental vasectomy in the process. No dice. I needed something better and fell upon the series 7000 Bodygroom.

At first glance out of the box it looked pretty great, and figured I'd charge it up and give it a go. I tried the side with the guard on it first which does an pretty good job of clearing the initial 70's bush out of the way. Note that I found that the little side trimmers on the foil side also do a great job of getting rid of some of the bulkier hair as well, so that's pretty awesome. Once that's dealt with, the fun really begins. I switched over to the foil trimmer side and turned it on. The volume of it made me nervous and I felt like I was about to take a weed-whacker to my ball sack, but alas I dove in and hoped for the best.

I gave it a run across the treasure trail first to get a feel for it. Use the side trimmers to clear it down and the middle foil to remove any remaining stubble. It glides very smoothly, but that was the easy part. Next up was the ol' doorknocker. I'd be lying if I said this was a simple process, and I wanted to stretch the skin out as flat as possible because I know what a slight nick feels like, sort of like death whispering sweet nothings into your ear giving you a chill down your spine. Let's avoid doing that. I slowly worked my way around and got a bit more confident, while still pushing very lightly just in case. It took a while of careful maneuvering, but so far so good. Done with that part.

Now onto the sack. At this point I had beads of sweat rolling down my face as I moved in for the kill. Remember that at this point you're going to want to flatten that skin out; rest assured you will find ways of stretching your balls like you've never thought possible; it'll be a bit tricky at first but I promise you'll get the hang of it. I slowly made my way around and got most of the longer hairs. Keep in mind that the two side shavers that are on the foil side seemingly have no guard which put me on edge, but by some form of dark wizard magic bestowed onto this shaver they didn't snag a thing. After about 15 minutes of lightly grazing the area I felt a slight tug and gave a bit of a yelp and felt a fun rush of 'what the hell did I just do?!', but upon checking ground zero it was just a false alarm due to nerves. At this point I figured I would finally man up and get a little more aggressive. A few bold strokes of the razor here and there made everything go as planned, and the deed was done. I managed to shave the entirety of my junk without snagging or pulling or cutting a thing. The next day I figured I would give it a second go and went for the gooch, ass and all that other fun stuff. Worked like a charm.

100% would recommended. My balls are smoother than a jazz player from the 60's. If you're wanting to get a body groomer than can truly get the job done you've found it with the series 7000.

I think I'll get the Philips Norelco Bodygroomer BG7030/49 tho. Manscape lawnmower is all hype, not good quality though.

What I don't understand about the Kyle Rittenhouse situation is why the police not only tolerate civilian militia groups wandering the streets confronting protesters, but they thank and encourage them.

These people are NOT trained police officers, even to the low standards in the US. They are NOT accountable to the police department or any other state authority. They are NOT accountable to the electorate. They do NOT undergo a criminal record check. They are NOT vetted against any standard whatsoever!

Sure, some of them may have good intentions and help to stop violence and destruction by bad actors infiltrating BLM. But how many of them are vigilantes, right-wing extremists, or racists? How many of them are ex-cons or just plain violent people with a chip on their shoulder?

To say the police are being irresponsible would be generous. The truth is that this is indicative of a deeper problem with policing in America. It's the reason why BLM exists: to confront deliberate violence inflicted on the black community by the state.

This article explains further (bolding is mine):

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... ice-report

White supremacists and militias have infiltrated police across US, report says

A former FBI agent has documented links between serving officers and racist militant activities in more than a dozen states

White supremacist groups have infiltrated US law enforcement agencies in every region of the country over the last two decades, according to a new report about the ties between police and far-right vigilante groups.

In a timely new analysis, Michael German, a former FBI special agent who has written extensively on the ways that US law enforcement have failed to respond to far-right domestic terror threats, concludes that US law enforcement officials have been tied to racist militant activities in more than a dozen states since 2000, and hundreds of police officers have been caught posting racist and bigoted social media content.

...

“Far-right militants are allowed to engage in violence and walk away while protesters are met with violent police actions.” This “negligent response”, he added, empowers violent groups in dangerous and potentially lethal ways: “The most violent elements within these far-right militant groups believe that their conduct is sanctioned by the government. And therefore they’re much more willing to come out and engage in acts of violence against protesters.”

There is growing awareness in some parts of the government about the intensifying threat of white supremacy. The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have directly identified white supremacists as the most lethal domestic terrorist threat in the country. According to German’s report, the FBI’s own internal documents have directly warned that the militia groups the agency is investigating often have “active links” to law enforcement.

It's a good point -
Police can’t control armed militias. Trump’s incitement makes it worse.

The more guns people bring to protests, the more dangerous the situation will get.

President Trump is right when he says mob violence is threatening Americans in their own communities.

But even as he greatly exaggerates the danger posed by those demonstrating against systemic racism and injustice, Trump is ignoring — and at times himself inciting — a potentially much deadlier threat: heavily armed White militia members showing up at Black Lives Matter protests with the purported goal of protecting against property damage and injuries to civilians.

That’s a big problem, whether Trump is doing it intentionally or not. And it will only get worse as one of the most polarized and divisive presidential campaigns in recent history goes into the home stretch.

Local police aren’t ready or able to confront these militia members, who often show up at rallies carrying assault rifles and dressed in uniforms that make them virtually indistinguishable from law enforcement agents or the National Guard. In some cases, police have welcomed them.

And it would be all but impossible for police to rein in these wannabe urban commandos even if they tried to. Thanks to lax gun control laws, virtually nothing they’re doing is illegal until they pull the trigger, at which point police intervention is usually too late. That’s especially the case in at least 45 open-carry states, where militia members can walk around in public armed and outfitted as if they’re going to war in Iraq or Afghanistan. Usually, little or no weapons training is required.

A group of psychologists were doing a behaviour experiment on a variety of occupations. The placed three melon size metal spheres in a room and gave representative of each occupation one hour alone with the spheres.

First in the room was a physicist, an hour later they checked on him and asked what he had discovered. He said he saw the spheres and then calculated their diameter and recognizing the material they are made of, he calculated their mass.

Next in the room was a mathematician who an hour later had calculated the moment of inertia for the spheres.

Third in the room was a diamond driller. After an hour the psychologists found one sphere smashed in a corner of the room, a second sphere in the driller's lunch box and the third sphere was nowhere to be found. When asked what he had discovered, the diamond driller said. "It was like that when I got here, must have been my fucking cross shift."
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I guess you haven't heard these riots have been going on across America for months now.

I guess you haven't heard these riots are destroying property and businesses.

I guess you haven't heard that Dem mayors and Dem Governors have restrained the police to a fair degree.


Umm ,of course at this point these officers of the law are encouraging citizens to protect property/businesses from destruction!


Clearly these citizens are the good guys and the rioters are the bad guys... generally speaking and in theory at least.

Did you expect the police to "thank and encourage" the burners/looters/destroyers of property? :sly:

Good gawd man, across America over the last 3 months the number of armed rioters must outnumber armed militia to 100-1.

And yet here you are complaining about the few good guys carrying weapons in the streets. :roll:

More than 20 firearms have been seized from rioters just in Kenosha since violent offender Jacob Blake was gunned down:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/wisconsin ... -1.5706046

As for the rest of your post about white supremacists infiltrating the police...

Got any documented numbers to share with us?

Cuz yeah, I'm guessing around 1 in 10,000 US police officers are white supremacists.
