Tatum Girlparts posted:Yea this is the issue. There's no 'security' involved, it's literally 'oh god those blacks are gonna see those other blacks say 'gently caress the police' and what if they start rioting?!' This is an absurd thing that's never been done before (unless I'm forgetting something?) and has 100% racial motivations. Svanja posted:That is exactly what it is. My Tea Party parents texted me last night about having my mom's purse checked at our theater in San Antonio (we're actually in the suburbs). They said "think it was for that rap movie." I told them I thought it was silly, since the other shootings were at a superhero flick and a romantic comedy. Unless there was a threat made nationally against the movie's audience, there was no need for beefed up security. My mom responded with "La had to get extra security because the crowd really got out of control. I guess they want to be careful" Oh you guys are completely right. What I mean is that you are more likely have a white racist shoot up the place and extra security is needed for that reason alone. Not because of unruly blacks getting uppity. Then again, this is America.

ReidRansom posted:I'm just going off that list there. And I'm fairly certain he has also talked about police demilitarization. Actually no. One of the more surprising elements from Bernie's response to ferguson was his refusal to advocate taking weapons away from the police and specifically saying that in the ferguson case there was no problem in police having all that military hardware just in how they were using it. He was asked this question point blank and answered with no ambiguity. This is in line with his general "stop blaming the poor innocent guns" stance vis-a-vi gun control. http://votesmart.org/public-statement/914062/msnbc-the-ed-show-transcript-ferguson-missouri#.VdEGdVJOLCQ transcript posted:
If you are going to advocate a machine gun in every pot then you can't also advocate disarming the police. /Shrug I find it hypocritical of him to talk about sir Robert Peel's precepts of community policing in the beginning of that interview while then utterly rejecting a core component of Peel's model - that police authority comes from the respect of the community, not from superior arms.

I think that it essentially makes a difficult situation, a dangerous situation much more provocative and much more difficult. Again, police departments should not be perceived as occupying ominous (ph). So, I think this is an issue along with the economic issue of having to create jobs for our young people that Congress should be addressing when we return.

I was working at the theater when the Malcolm X movie came out, they decided to bring in extra security for opening week just to be safe. Two armed guards to keep the peace for a week in a nearly empty theater featuring a half full opening night showing of a movie.

Chokes McGee posted:We went through this exact same thing when Do the Right Thing came out. Spike Lee's response was basically a giant Let's be honest about the real reason for visible security: Compton attracts a black audience, and masses of black people in public scare non-black individuals. Its a natural result of mixing the correlation of concentrated poverty and race with causation. The security checks are there to reassure white folk that the theatre is aware masses of black people are on the premises.

Apparently Donald Trump is Batman:quote:Into the helicopter went William, 9; Sean, 6; Brendan, 5; and Henry, who just turned 3. Their mother went with them. Henry got scared just before takeoff and left the aircraft to be with his father. The other boys remained. William brought a GoPro camera to capture the experience; a clip later wound up on Facebook.

The main district causing the fuss, Corrine Brown's District 5 has been completely reworked. I missed this post but does anyone have a link to a in depth story of how this challenge was accomplished? I've read some articles but a more in depth investigation and also possible transcripts of testimony I can only find some nominal articles on it and not something more in depth.

You can use gun control to regulate gun related crimes such as homicides with a gun or armed robbery, but not mass shootings. In the case of Sandy Hook or Charleston, no legislation would've prevented it- not when getting something second hand is easy. The unfortunate reality is that Brady Bill his hilariously ineffective and gun control, as it currently is, comes off as inept because of it.
