Denial is maybe the most powerful of all human emotions.

The NBA has reviewed and denied Andrew Wiggins’ request for religious exemption from the San Francisco Department of Public Health’s order requiring COVID-19 vaccination for all participants age 12 and older at large indoor events. Wiggins will not be able to play in Warriors home games until he fulfills the city’s vaccination requirements.”

You see, this is why I believe that the country ends at about Cape May and starts up again around South Beach on the East Coast.  

Things are way out of control down there, but I bet some on this forum would support this the way they post.

 

 

Australia has lost the plot. They went way down the CovidZero rabbit hole and then when it was overwhelmingly clear that it would become a failed strategy, they doubled down. Only recently have they acknowledged that Covid is likely not going away. Meanwhile, they've got police and military running around enforcing some of the most stringent restrictions in the world by shooting at people with rubber bullets. 🤦‍♂️

I'm not sure how they reconcile this with their citizens.

They already have a pretty vocal right wing presence in their politics from what I can tell. Gotta imagine stuff like this will end up pushing more people in that direction politically and galvanizing their existing base. Wouldn't be surprised to see  them elect their own version of Trump/Boris Johnson/Jair Bolsonaro over the next few years. But who knows.

The ruling coalition is on the right.  They represent the more conservative of the main parties.

I thought their PM was from the liberal party? Could be wrong there.  Could also be that the PM doesn't have much power in their system.  Can't pretend I know too much about australian politics.  Just seems like the kind of set up that leads to the rise of a nationalist-leaning right-wing leader

The term Liberal doesn’t mean the same thing in other countries as it does in the US. Think more Classic Liberal with the normal position right of center. Down under they also aren’t coming off of eight years of progressive Obama. In any case, the conditions certainly point to some real political upheaval for sure.

Mr Mureddu, a former Italian soldier, carried out the "rescue” with assistance from members of the Common Law Information Centre in nearby Ballybofey. The group promotes a bizarre interpretation of the law which states legislation only apply to people if they consent to it.

Common law groups came to prominence during the recession when homeowners facing bank repossessions were encouraged to frustrate the court process using tactics such as not recognising the court and attempting to perform citizens’ arrests on judges.

In one video published after Mr McCarron left the hospital, Mr Mureddu and Michael McGee of the Common Law Information Centre advise followers to use baseless common law tactics and documents to carry out similar actions in other hospitals.

 

Sounds a bit like what that crazy bish Pauline Bauer from PA, the pizzeria owner who claimed courts had no jurisdiction over her.

The Biden regime: the unvaccinated are literally killing us.

also the Biden regime: no the illegal alien Haitians we’re releasing all over the country aren’t vaccinated and we’re not testing. Lol eff you

You would think these kinds of things would make people appreciate America more... All it does though is make people freak out even more, with thoughts that this the direction America is headed.

I mean, this level of police brutality has been happening here basically forever. It's horrible just the same. But the people getting choked here are usually of a different skin color though, so I guess that might affect how these types of incidents are perceived. The usual refrain of, "well he shouldn't have been resisting arrest!" is conspicuously absent this time around though.

I meant the force Australia is using over covid. Not police brutality, I know that's a thing here. 

Or was this not because she wasn't wearing a mask?

Unjustified use of force is the common denominator. The differences are skin color and reasons for resisting what is presumably an attempt to detain the person. We don't know what happened prior to the video, but if it's for simply not wearing a mask, it's obviously horribly excessive. Then again, she presumably lived to tell her side of the story which was not something afforded to a black guy suspected of selling cigarettes.

Ahh ok I get you now. 

 

I was just eluding to the fact that other countries like Australia are ridiculous compared to us when it comes to masks and lockdowns and we will still have people losing their minds here when it can be and is a lot worse everywhere else. As far as covid goes,

I wasn't really looking at it as a police and race thing that's for the George Floyd thread.

Bad things are bad things. There is zero reason a man who has at least a full foot on a woman and at least 70+ pounds needs to choke her that way. I don't know what kind of training they receive down there, but there are tons of other submissions he could have used to quickly get her under control. Poor training or poor temperament.
