The killing of Michael Reinoehl by thugs

samedi 17 octobre 2020 à 02:00

*Eyewitnesses have said that [thugs] did not identify themselves before opening fire on Michael Reinoehl while he was in his car.* It appears that they shot as soon as they had identified him.

In other words, they were supposed to arrest him, but it looks like they murdered him instead.

Reinoehl acknowledged he had shot and killed a right-wing protester, but claimed that he did so in self-defense. He was entitled have trial to present his case.

More info about the killing.

The wrecker boasted about this killing.

Simultaneous interviews of Biden and the wrecker

samedi 17 octobre 2020 à 02:00

Comparing the two simultaneous interviews of Biden and the wrecker.

NBC did wrong to hold the wrecker's interview at the same time that Biden's town hall had already been announced for. We can see that the wrecker's goal was to prevent his supporters from hearing Biden.

The article puts this backward, suggesting (though not actually asserting) that the wrecker's program was scheduled first and Biden's was then run alongside it.

However, it appears that the wrecker's interviewer pressed him hard for answers, and and didn't accept his usual wandering evasions.

So he came off looking very bad.

I did not watch either of them, because I did not need to. I know enough about the two candidates and I've made up my mind about how to vote, so reading these articles was enough information for me.

My recommendation is: in a swing state, vote for Biden; otherwise, vote for Howie Hawkins of the Green Party.

"Eco" glitter harms plants

samedi 17 octobre 2020 à 02:00

An experiment found that "eco" glitter, after ending up in a river, harms plants just like ordinary glitter.

We need to regulate plastic in a way that will eliminate most microplastics. Probably anything like glitter should be prohibited entirely.

Senator Lindsey Graham asked for campaign donations in an interview while in the judiciary committee's meeting room. It is illegal to do that.
