Our county makes Nat'l news
« on: July 29, 2020, 04:06:19 PM »
I'll start with a word of caution. If you are posting about a subject or article that contains a hashtag # in front of letters or words, don't use the hashtag and letters in your post as bots can pick it up and post it to that hashtag page or site. It just happened with a story in our county that has now gone nationwide at least probably due to the bots.

Our county library posted the agenda for their upcoming board meeting which stated they were going to address diversity and put their support behind hashtag black lives matter. The Sheriff heard about it and got rather upset and in the last sentence of his response said the library should forget about bothering to call 911. I fully agree with everything he wrote in his response except for that last part. He has been a good Sheriff in his 1st term and I spoke with him quite a bit before he was elected. This has now blown up nationally and who knows if we will now be targeted for protests which would be a huge mistake in my opinion for those who would try to cause trouble.
No hashtag on these links so I hope they are OK.

I agree 100% with that last part. These criminals lives matter nutjobs want to eliminate peace officers so give them exactly what they're asking for. No police protection whatsoever.

This war on police has gone farther than it should have. I still think he would have been better off not saying forget 911 for the library. That only gives ammo to the lib pukes and troublemakers even if it was a valid statement. It would have been hard to argue with his well thought out response if he had left that out.

Prior to July 4th, protestors said they were going to burn flags in Gettysburg.  The motorcycle clubs said it wasn't going to happen.  A buddy drove through Gettysburg on the 4th and said he saw folks carrying AK's and AR's on the streets.  Don't think any flags got burned.

Protestors better stick to the cities that don't mind as the non progressives are getting fed up with this crap and my money is on the non progressives.  Notice I didn't say liberals as I believe there are liberals who are tired of this crap as well

Since the protesters will be coming here by buses on Saturday the Sheriff and county has laid out the area where the protests are to take place. The protesters will get one side of the courthouse/sheriffs office/jail complex and the counter protesters on the other side. We'll see how that works out as I'm sure the counter protesters will out number the protesters. The wife is following along on the community social media pages and it is hilarious with all the people saying that I heard this and I heard that. I can't wait to see how it all shakes out.

Best case scenario would be for the protestors to be ignored, they get bored and leave.  Need a contingent of backups nearby  in case they get stupid and try to destroy things.

Second best thing and is most likely, the protestors are outnumbered and figure the juice ain't worth the squeezings and pack up and leave after a couple of speeches.

Stay safe and let us know what happens

I don’t understand why the cops don’t use fire hoses anymore. They used to be very successful in cleaning things up. 👍🏼 It’s hard to light a building on fire when you are sliding across the street from  the blast of a hose.

Water cannons on lightly armored vehicles work very well and are used around the world. It is not too hard to figure out why they are not used here as the whiners don't want the police to use tear gas or less than lethal rounds that might bruise a peaceful protester. :021:

It was an interesting day yesterday. There are conflicting numbers but will go with 50-100 BLM protesters and 1000 counterprotesters. It stayed pretty peaceful with a couple of incidents but plenty of noise. Leftist news reports are calling us a gun toting racist town full of scary people brandishing weapons. I saw plenty of people with open carry and AK's and AR's but no assault weapons or brandishing. No idea how many people were concealed carry.

On a drive through town quite a few businesses on Main St. had their parking lots blocked off with people camped out. A neighbor down the road had an encampment set up in front of his motorcycle shop with his big motorhome and several other vehicles. If the Antifa people had thoughts of causing trouble I think they decided the outcome would not be good and there was no trouble.

We hung out on Main St/Hwy 395 for a couple of hours after dinner. We were in the parking lot between a big casino and the sheriff station right on the edge of the road where the action had continued all day and into the night. Most vehicles passing us were honking in support with a few carloads of young punks flipping us off.

I hope these protesters and possible rioters have decided that our valley is not a healthy place to conduct their mayhem. They can describe me in all kinds of derogatory words but I don't really care and will continue to support the wellbeing of every resident no matter what their beliefs.

Depending on the news source, the locals were the protestors and BLM were the counter protesters or the other way around.  I found that interesting.

In reading a BLM sided article, they complained of being drowned out by the locals.  I guess the locals don't have the same free speech rights. 

I am curious as to what the BLM group expected to happen other then what went down. To me the outcome was quite predictable.

Phil, for some entertaining reading here is an article from the Carson City news site that is so left you have to look over your shoulder to read it. The comments are pretty funny as most are from people that weren't even there.

Antifa slithered back out of town as they knew it would be a losing proposition to start trouble. Busloads had come in and the sheriffs knew exactly where they were staying. All 4 roads into the valley were watched and there is a good intelligence network by retired and active law enforcement.

These news and blm people dont get it. Smaller cities and rural communities wont put up with this crap.

We had a blm rally gathering on our courthouse lawn, I have no idea why. There hasn't been an officer involved shooting of any kind in the past decade from I can find in our county. Any ways a van with 15-20 white kids from Cincinnati showed up dressed in black with masks and signs. City police, county sheriffs, and about 25 citizens where across the street from them when a pack of about 50 riders from a regional MC showed up with MAG-lights, bats, and a FU attitude. They pulled right up to the barricades at the feet of the out of towners and all of the chants for disband the police stopped. The sheriff told the kids he could not guarantee their safety and advised them to leave.

Word on the street was the several business owners gathered up a fund to buy drinks for the MC  :))

Highland, glad to hear the story


Locally, there has been ongoing BLM protests in our larger town and a few of the smaller ones in our county.  Some have been ongoing for weeks but they are basically local folks holding up signs during rush hour and have caused no problems.  The police have had conversations with them and are ok with what they are doing as far as I can tell.  I have no problem with peaceful orderly protests even if I disagree with them.

We have an issue in our church as one of our campus pastors participated in a BLM protest.  Not sure if it was sanctioned as a church activity or not but apparently it caused a problem.  We are meeting with  our campus pastor on Tuesday to find out what the churches position is on BLM.  Note the  pastor in question is black. 

In advance of the meeting, I decided to research what BLM is all about.  I would suggest doing that if you haven't already.  While they don't advocate violence, they have major supporters that do and have participated in violence.  It also has an undertone that violence is ok in certain instances.  they also say there is a systemic racism in police departments especially against black men to mention a few points.

While I have witnessed black people being profiled and harassed for no reason other then being black and believe they get the short end of the stick often and believe changes need to be made, I cannot back the BLM movement and hope my church does not. If they do, I will be looking for a new church.

IN doing my research, there is still a Civil Rights Movement that is advocating for change the correct way through legislation and voting

Thanks for telling that Highland as it was probably best we had the police presence rather than the citizens handling the situation.
Phil, the founders of BLM are admitted Marxists and want to change this country by any means necessary including violence. They will only be happy with overthrowing the system and putting their people in power to totally destroy this country. BLM Chicago's founder has stated that looting is reparations as far as they are concerned and it is a good thing. Too many people have listened to the drivel about white privilege and systemic racism and want to be "woke" and assuage their white guilt by supporting the movement. This country has it's problems but violence is not the way to go about fixing them as it creates nothing but more violence and leads to a horrible conclusion.

I'm wide open to hearing about and supporting reasonable solutions to our current situation.

I will dig a little further as the Marxist thing will really light my fire.  As to the looting, I did see something to that effect but didn't read any further.  My research was qu9ick and not complete, just enough to turn me off

I hold the BLM as complicit in the rioting and looting just as I hold the muslims complicit with the radical islamic movement. If  your name/organization/ race/religion is being used as an excuse to justify illegal or immoral activities and the said group doesn't stand up and say "hey, thats not us" every chance they get , then they have some complicity in the crime. BLM may not be looting these places but if the looters are using that as an excuse the the BLM isn't outing them, then they're complicit in the crime.

I've seen enough from the BLM in the Dallas PD shootings a few years back to know all I need to now about them.

The bigger question is why are all these little BLM skirmishes in the communities mostly young white people? What are we missing from the bigger picture. I've seen it too many times where the very young white errr. Person state "you old white people need to stop judging people by the color of their skin" That person has absolutely no idea what equality means. So if their not out there demonstrating for equality then what is driving them?

I'm wide open to hearing about and supporting reasonable solutions to our current situation.

The only reasonable solution is to tell the criminals lives matter crowd to pound sand. The cops ain't running around killing black folks at random. You attract the cops attention by engaging in criminal activity, and then fight them, it probably ain't gonna end well no matter what color you are.

Watch ALL of the video at this link. The "I just lost my mom" around 2:20 is a lie. Druggie career criminal geeked the fuck out. Would you risk letting him get up?

Matt, I know that there is no reasonable solution but I make the offer anyways.
The MN AG Keith Ellison wanted to keep the body cam video from being seen as he said it would taint the jury pool. The truth is the video out in public makes his job much harder when the public can see the whole truth. Their narrative has been severely damaged by this video as it should be.

 Thats how the war on police works. Show just enough of the events to get everyone enraged. Then at the trial the jury sees all the evidence and turns the cop loose. The media plays it up as a cop got away with killing the guy and nothing happened to him. Been that way for several of these shootings now. Stupid people are easily misled.

You can thank Bill Clinton for that during the era of Blackhawk Down. He started shipping them all to MN as they had some good welfare benefits and was fiscally in good shape. A couple of decades later and the area of MPLS/StPaul is just like Somalia. Weird how that works, huh. :021:

Jury pool had already been tainted by the video that was released to stir up shit. Real reason that AG didn't want the full video released is it makes him look very bad.

TBH I'm amazed that video still exists...

Little more research on BLM.  Two of the 3 founders are Marxist trained, their own words.  Power is decentralized so BLM policy can vary from chapter to chapter.  So much for non violent.  Mckesson, one major supporter who is very vocal and well covered by the media has no problem with violence and vandalism in certain situations and supports looting as reparations.

They don't explicitly say it but they are for redistribution of wealth.  I was at a bankruptcy auction on Friday and I saw a BLM sticker on a truck.  Fellow driving it was a black man who likely owned a trucking company judging from what he bought and how well he was equipped to carry large items out.  Got me thinking, when they raise the tax rate to redistribute wealth, he may  regret his support as I am pretty sure they will be taking from the haves and giving to the have nots and they won't care that he is black and happens to be a have

Maybe the sticker will protect him somewhat. If he had a Trump sticker they would take everything he has and burn and destroy what they couldn't. He would deserve it because they would label him an Uncle Tom or an Oreo.

Well we met with the pastor and got the scoop.  Our Black campus pastor and his wife and a few members did attend a BLM protest.  They also posted some pics on Facebook and that is where the flack started. 

Our pastor made a statement that I did like and seems to be the church's position.  The church supports the slogan Black Lives Matter in the sense that racial injustice is wrong but does in no way support the BLM movement.  That is essentially how I feel

Very crafty to have a name that sounds innocent enough for a movement that is far from innocent in its intent

Exactly how I feel. Black lives matter, but the BLM movement is a joke.

Now a BLM agitator from So. Lake Tahoe, CA has scheduled a protest at our Sheriff's station this Saturday. I'm sure he had heard that the last protest final figures were maybe 30- 50 BLM'rs and about 1,000 counter protesters. Got word that we will joined by counter protesters from the Northeastern part of the state. There will be plenty of people there to ensure the protest stays peaceful. It would be a lot nicer here if some of the granola from CA stayed on their side of the mountains as they can be in our downtown in 30 minutes or less.

Crap is getting ugly.  Keep the peace and stay safe!!

One thing that amazes me is that Baltimore has been very quiet protest wise.  Little to no violence.  They did paint some  BLM murals on the streets this past weekend but the city has been quiet,,,,,,,,,,,,,well except for the murder rate which is on pace with last year.

Read about a couple of protesters getting shot in Wisconsin. Seems the people are getting fed up with the violence and destruction. Of course the good folks of Kenosha were being labeled as vigilantes. I prefer to call them Patriots.

They have now canceled their protest here but will be doing it in Carson City still as they do every week.
