first time going to a music venue?

nothing new

Like when people suggest privatizing libraries. First they'll be free, then they won't, suddenly a substantial economic class loses access to information and resources.

This is the one thing to watch out for. People are going to assume your politics if you go full cowboy. And trump politics are 50/50 out in the country and more like 80/20 left leaning in the city.

idk about blork but i absolutely worship björk and u should too

Yeah I'd like to vote for a politician marginally to the left of Nixon.

They have the right to 2a, it is for their safety.

There could be people who are against the protesters.

And creating more privately owned public spaces where rights are not the same and the rich maintain control.

Can you just drive in?

Anyone who goes armed is highly likely to have the state revoke their gun license. The police themselves are the ones who decide who is allowed to have a license or own a gun.

I forsee a law being passed very quickly that makes it a felony to be in possession of a firearm or ammunition while in attendance at a public protest

Also Vientiane Thai Restaurant is awesome.

I'm referencing the protests following Floyd's death...protestors in CT were peaceful (for example, blocking of I-84) and the police prayed with them and asked them to leave to let ambulances through.

Yes, there isolated incidences, but not the deadly and consistent violence in response to protests. Is the best way to counter that lethal weapons? Would pepper spray not have been enough?

Okay dude that posts in r/aliens and r/collegesluts

>The CT state police have a history of protecting and covering up for their own who commit crimes on and off duty.

THANK YOU for posting this. I was just about to say: let's not talk about the cops who abuse their families, do drugs, STEAL EVIDENCE (drugs) and an array of other things..yet you say sorry but let's see how much shit YOU'VE possibly covered up

>This is a hollow statement, but the fact that they felt the need to issue it means they're actually a little worried about the repercussions of what happened in Memphis

This is exactly what's happening. I have a close friend who is a US Marshall and she informed me that individual cops are about to be held accountable for their actions now.. ever since the shit with Floyd and how everything is being recorded, there's about to be a "You're on you're own" abundance about to happen...

I shared this elsewhere but Its part of a long running push towards privately owned public spaces.... Do you see where this goes? Do you see the connection to privately owned public services and more privatization? It also gives them more control because they do not have to follow the constitution the way the government does. A privately owned public space does not have to protect free speech from themselves only the governmentfor example! if thingss dont go how they like they find reasons to shut the public space down such as "cleaning" or 'repaors" that often last until whatever "unrelated" problem they have is solved. Facebook is like a privately owned public space. Religious schools not bound by all the laws that protect people within fully public I.e. government ran schools like most of us attended. If every free public space disappeared how long do you think private space would remain free? Maybe this place isn't exactly like that but it serves as a good source of propaganda for privatized public spaces.

The people who want to disarm the population need the police to do the disarming. You need a ton of people with guns to enforce laws against guns. Those against guns ignore how racist and dangerous police are because their belief system relies on police being on their side.

They should the maximum penalty just like any other citizen

Agreed, that serpentine building is wild. Heading over soon to see it in person.

No idea about the faith part, but the architectural firm, SANAA, is absolutely mind-boggling. Their other creations are fascinating to look at, and I’m not even someone who really cares about that stuff. But it’s wild.

I posted this as a general comment but will reply to your comment by reposting it since you included the hedge fund piece here.

Connecticut let's them buy any guns they want for personal use. The government will never restrict the guns police families are allowed to own.

They said that before and SB16 died pretty quickly last year.

Ah, I did not know that

Why's it sad? Periodic floods are necessary to create, replenish and evolve alluvial deposits all along river channels.

It's just nature doing its thing. The bar will be back soon enough.

Sadly any protest will result in legislation to keep other protests from happening again.
