I read this and it made perfect sense to me, his thoughts on the matter are pretty much how i would feel, its pretty eye opening when put into his perspective.


There's been studies published that looked at kids performance against the number of times they had encounters with the police, and regardless of class, location, income, race, if the stop resulted in charges or anything, etc. and found that more stops predicted higher stress and poorer performance, but it specifically showed that black kids had worse responses.

Not really surprising. When you can't trust authority and you have more encounters with authority it's gonna stick with you more. Now look at the fact that even professional tennis players, Chris Rock, professors, etc. all will get stopped far more than their white counterparts because they're black and it's just another thing to add onto the pile. But remember kids, it's "their culture", and obviously culture can't be influenced by circumstances.

'absolutely zero evidence whatsoever' is the current bid


Of which part?

I've been pulled over 3 times

16 - passively got going 75 down a really long hill on the road on the way to my house.
24 - forgot to renew my tags
27 - forgot to renew my tags

For some reason the state just never sent me the reminders. I've never been pulled over when there wasn't a super obvious reason to get pulled over. Never even got a ticket for any of them.

Been pulled over twice in my life, and no tickets.

Once doing 70 in a 50 MPH zone.
Another because I guess in Montana you can't drive in the left lane on the freeway unless to pass, ever.

Our tags are done electronically, no registration stickers or anything so i do them 3 months in advance a year at a time so i am always in date.
I used to drive my v8 g220 fairlane like a mad man though, clocked it at 140 mph more than once, never got caught i guess.
If i am totally honest i have broken a law a week at minimum since i was in my early teens, i have a 100% clean criminal record.

I speed quite a bit, i tresspass a lot, i pirate anything i think might not be worth spending money on, i used to blow up mail boxes with my friends etc.

To be fair to myself though, my country has 23,000 laws and i respect about 6 of them.

Neocon loser cant justify his positions so he resorts to lying about libertarians. Sad.


What do you mean I can't justify my positions? Of course I can. Money and power with a boot on your throat.

Nothing i have seen so far has had any skinheads or proud boys.


More than that, everything I've seen proves there definitely were not any skinheads or proudboys or other right-wing agitators out there in any identifiable form.
The left-wing mobs would have lynched them on the spot, and they were already turning on white antifa kids for either being white or suspecting they were undercovers
There's no way a right-wing agent provocateur could do anything unless he went completely undetected
...which also means that if there actually were any, Walz & co would have no way to know about it

we've got endless hours of footage of rioting antifa and other extreme left-wing mobs that were violently hostile to anything perceived as right-of-center, and so far zero footage or evidence of white supremacists

This is a professor, who has the tools to articulate how this encounter affected him. He also has the age and wisdom that allowed for him to maintain his composure and not lose his life. Now, imagine a YOUNG Black person, who is not equip with either.

I thought about the fact my word counted for nothing, they didn’t believe that I wasn’t a criminal. They had to find out.


He kinda loses me there. Obviously the cops should not just believe people. We need to get to a point in society where cops can collect basic info without creating any negative emotions.
