There is no distracting any of our groups from what the real issues are. I'm simply stating what happened. We will continue to do what we do to keep bringing the focus back to where it needs to be.

K ...not you...that is why I didn't quote you,

I read something else and likely you did too. It's in the news and complaining and pointing out that someone threw a brick through a window doesn't excuse nor takeaway from killing a man unjustly.

Focusing on the riots is the media and people trying to change the narrative away from racism and police killing black men and women. It just a side distraction away from the fact that nothing is being done by this administration about it in general nor MN about this particular killing. Don't let people distract you from the real problem by fake incense about rioting and looting.

I get what you're saying, JC. It's the typical media distraction tactic.

It's difficult to focus on the root cause of the protests (George Floyd's unjust death at the hands of a white police officer) when the news ONLY shows footage after footage after footage of assholes destroying businesses and stealing cash registers, etc. in other cities that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the root cause. It's hard to keep focus when you're bombarded with those images. Last night, my daughter and I tried to watch game shows that were on ABC. We saw about 20 minutes of the first show and the remaining 2 1/2 hours was spent seeing images of looting and clashing between protesters and police officers".

On a related note, I live in a suburb of Chicago, nowhere near where the riots are, yet my retail store closed and boarded up their doors last night at 5 and then I just tried to go there for my 4:30 shift to discover it was boarded up again.

This has NEVER happened in previous riots, etc.

This whole thing is getting out of hand and the rioters and looters are destroying the narrative.
 
I don't know what happened but there is this video of a guy with a sword that got beat to what it looks like death by a crowd. His body was folded and unresponsive in the middle of the street and a guy kept saying "don't touch him" as if he is dead already.

I went and looked. He does look dead.

Did he fall on his sword? No pun intended.

That makes more sense but it also means the test is pretty much useless.

There doesn't seem like much can be done about coronaviruses so I'm just gonna focus on learning more about natural medicines. I find the history behind them interesting anyway.

Sounds like fun. I've just been staying in, finally finished my new computer build, and I've been stocked up on necessities for a while. Things will either work out or they won't. All I can do is continue to keep my distance and live my life.

Yeah, I knew about this. The one benefit being that there is extreme interest in funding all of this throughout the world, which is very uncommon when people are attempting to create a vaccine. So,it will be a couple of years or more, but shorter in comparison to other vaccines. Lol, I remember being stationed in Korea during SARS, as I've mentioned before... Wild times, man. How are things in your neck of the woods?

Not a lot going on here which is fine, impossible to get bored, I can always explore another area of physics long before it comes to that. There are so many areas of it. The more you know the more fun you can have with your toys. People recently started dining in again at the local restaurants. Some of the bars have light crowds. I'll at least wait till after summer to get that comfortable.

The rain went away for a few days now it appears to be back. I just hope I can dodge it for a good run today.

It's raining off and on here. I just finished my computer, so I am having fun with that. Everything is calm here. Check out Doug Demuro on youtube. I think you'll enjoy his channel.

Mr “... quirks and features ...” ...lol

Did you see Hoovies impersonation of Demuro? ...lol
 
These dudes wild af lol. I spent more than an hour in an Atlanta project only once not sure if it was this one, I remember the cops being posted out there in fairly large groups and being told it's like that all the time. Guys were just trading insults with the cops walking by like it was normal. With that said this video is wild, gotta wonder where the cops are at. Then again this might not even be the projects.
