  • Is it though?

    ZACHARY, La. (BRPROUD) – The Zachary Police Department says they arrested a former student after Zachary High School was tagged with graffiti.

    Police say that Shyron White was arrested at his home in Livingston Parish for drawing a triangle with a symbol in it on the exterior doors. Graffiti was found in several locations around the building, and police were alerted on Tuesday.

    “It’s always important to not damage someone else’s property. It costs money and time to, you know, to actually fix,” Zachary Police Department Chief Daryl Lawrence said. “And then you’ll have people like us out looking for you.”

    Lawrence said an incident like this is not common for the Zachary community. White is booked in the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison, charged with terrorism, criminal damage to property, aggravated assault and criminal trespassing.

    This is the Orwellian shit you're advocating when you start classifying vandalism as terrorism.

  • Bro Brogan hasn't been in a fight since he was like 19. Rolling around on the mat in a gym doesn't cause head trauma.

    His problem is that he's just a dumb asshole by nature.

  • It's property damage that was done specifically to avoid hurting people. By that interpretation, Banksy could also be classified as a terrorist.

  • Hours. It only took hours from the time he introduced the bill to the time he was arrested.

    Must be some kinda record.

  • Fuck it. More graffiti. Some trippy cats.

  • For anyone who is not familiar, Asheville is a very Left-leaning city in a deep red state. Last time I saw that many granola crunching hippies was in my mom's photo albums of the Haight-Ashbury district in '69. I'm not saying the town hall was full of Democrats, or that Asheville doesn't have its fair share of dyed-in-the-wool conservatives. I'm just saying that the general mindset in Asheville leans much further Left than the rest of NC, and that may explain why Edwards was getting so much shit from the public. Buncombe County (where Asheville is) voted 61% for Edwards' Democratic opponent Caleb Rudow in 2024.

    Here's a pic I took of some graffiti while I was up there not long ago.

  • This goes a bit further than that. They are trying to make spray-painting "ASSHOLE" on a Tesla an act of terrorism akin to burning down a Tesla factory. The two are not the same. This kind of law would make every graffiti artist a terrorist. That's not what anti-terrorism laws should be used for.

  • Not once the ball gets rolling, no. Plenty of Fascism has been averted through preemptive nonviolent action though. In fact, that's basically how Democracy works; Constant nonviolent vigilance keeping Fascism at bay. But once Fascism gains traction, the only thing that works to get rid of it is violence. More people need to understand this. It's like that Kyle Reese speech in the first Terminator movie.

    "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!"

  • Definition from the FBI:

    Domestic terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature

    Definition from the US House of Representatives:

    (5) the term "domestic terrorism" means activities that—(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;(B) appear to be intended—(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States; and(6) the term "military force" does not include any person that—(A) has been designated as a—(i) foreign terrorist organization by the Secretary of State under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189); or(ii) specially designated global terrorist (as such term is defined in section 594.310 of title 31, Code of Federal Regulations) by the Secretary of State or the Secretary of the Treasury; or(B) has been determined by the court to not be a "military force".

    While you can argue that coordinated acts of destruction against Tesla dealerships could be defined as domestic terrorism, individual acts of vandalism against Tesla vehicles do not fall under this definition, nor should they. Otherwise, you could classify someone like Banksy as a terrorist. Is that the kind of world you want to live in?

  • Oh they are already going after Obergfell. Trans hate was always a proxy for gay hate. Just like the whole drag queen story hour thing. They are all Trojan horses to remove the rights of anyone who isn't a straight white Christian male.

  • Man I really need to get my eyes checked. I thought the title said "How do you deal with nude customers?"

    I mean, my answer is the same regardless: Fuck 'em.

    But yeah. I need glasses.

  • Most definitely.

  • I know exactly one trans person in real life. They are a super small minority of people. If trans issues dominate your life, then you are either a trans person, or a demented fucking lunatic who is obsessed with trans people.

  • Is this the same House GOP pressuring universities to expel students for protesting and pushing police to arrest and imprison protesters? That House GOP?

  • If you traveled back in time and told J. Edgar Hoover that in the future, the American public voluntarily wire-tapped themselves, he would cream his frilly pink panties.

  • Right? It's really weird...

  • Is the Secretary of Defence elected? The Attorney General?

    Those are real positions that are appointed by every President. "DOGE" is a complete bullshit position/department pulled out of thin air to avoid any kind of confirmation and/or security clearance.

    It is incredibly dangerous for a President to be allowed to invent whole government departments and appoint whoever he wants to them without any checks and balances.

  • Whelp...
