How does the World view America these days?

It's a thing called racism, thank goodness we don't have it over here in Europe.

[hello spiral]

We def do not have it to that degree ie calling the police because a brown person happens to be near you.

[dingformung]

No but to a degree that Roma are forced to work in guarded columns in certain parts of hungary and the elimination of ombudsman for minority rights in same country

This is true.

Multiple people were killed, and others were injured, in a shooting on Friday morning at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Tex., according to local officials. A suspect was in custody.

 

At least three eight people were killed, according to Mark Henry, the Galveston County judge, the county’s top elected official. The injured included at least one police officer, Mr. Henry said.

i'm not entirely convinced that was racism as much as an unhealthy obsession with rules. per the link posted above:

 

Schulte works as a senior project manager at an environmental resources and services company in Oakland, according to her Linkedin profile. Her work focuses on air quality.

 

...

 

 

Dr. Jennifer Schulte is a Senior Project Manager with ERM based in Walnut Creek, California. She has 10 years of experience as an air quality and climate change specialist, and is a recognized expert in the fields of air quality, emission estimation, air dispersion modeling, health risk assessments, and climate change impacts,” the website said.

she even manages to cough up the code/ordinance/violation thingy there at the end that she keeps talking about the entire time. as fussy as it sounds (and in my opinion, pretty fucking stupid), she might actually be right about the grill. i won't necessarily rule out some crazy lady calling cops on a few homies in the park, but to be honest considering her career revolves around air quality it is entirely possible this lady just takes breathing seriously or something.

That immediately occurred to me too--a PhD in chemical engineering from Stanford demonstrates extraordinary intelligence. Top 1% material. The flipside to people like that can be the borderline autistic fixation on details where the forest gets lost for the trees. Also, she might hate black folks. It's all a wash now anyway because this doxxing has riggity rekt her. The internet never forgets so all of her employers will stumble across "BBQ Becky" now.

 

 

Given the fact that you don't call police for these matters, and seeing as she's definitely educated enough to know who to call in that situation, her motives are definitely questionable (if not her intelligence).

I agree that calling police was dumb. I won't deny that she overreacted and generally was more than stupid about it. i just don't buy the racist lady narrative.

i haven't made it all the way through the video.  

 

part of me thinks.. she's just one of those rule nazis who bang on about every damn thing and generally make shit annoying for people who are just trying to do a damn thing. 

 

but also, i'll say.. my brother was a cop for 15 years in miami. and after many conversations w/him.. police are called for everything you can imagine.  they are often called to be the adult in the room. half of what my brother did was show up to domestic disputes and de-escalate situations and calm people down who are grown ass adults acting like children.  stupid people who can't solve the simplest of problems w/o calling the police. 

 

so, w/that in mind.. i bet this lady calls the police when her neighbor doesn't mow the lawn in a timely fashion. 

 

but.. i don't give her a pass. i'm glad all the shit went viral and the local people responded by having a big ass park party bbq.  

 

people need to just mind their own business a bit more and calm the fuck down about what other people are up to in day to day life.

not quite, i had to agree to a no booze rule for a calendar month after this (completed), except her shopping addiction & Xanax abuse were casually reasoned away with the logic of a seasoned bs artist....all wise with hindsight eh

 

the shopping addiction was one of a couple of capstones, i mean how many sundays can you spend @ the same Nordstrom Rack, sifting thru the same fuckin garments that were there the previous week frittering away hard earned shekels, except now they're just a lil bit more creased/micro-torn/out of season/fkd/boring?

 

Kenny Loggins was horrendous doe, a distillation of the worst kind of work conference entertainment scenario imaginable like something out of a Dr Hunter S.T. hallucination, compounded by people you couldnt get on a level with conversationally, sketchy food, hence the shift up thru the gears from red plonk to bourbon, anything to numb the Potomac-based horror....the horror
