Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Following up: I've seen the Kenosha Police's media release on this.

44 cities doesn't tell me much. Someone from Pleasant Prarie is from a different city, but that doesn't indicates busloads of trouble makers coming in. Nor does 102 arrests with home addresses outside of Kenosha. If it were 102 from outside of Chicago in a Chicago protest, that would surprise me more.

The 69 curfew violations are a big "meh."

The 34 "curfew plus additional charges" is an interesting mixed bag: curfew plus possession of a controlled substance (specifically in that number) probably isn't a big deal; curfew plus burglary is.

That's 103 arrests. What are the other 72 arrests for, and where are those folks from, and what are their ties to alt-right or antifa groups?

Those are worthwhile questions, but not ones the media release addresses.

Most people from Wisconsin and northern Illinois. That seems normal. A handful from farther away. That seems intriguing. Also, it doesn't say which side those people from farther away were on.

Three on their way to attack police leaders? Prosecute the bejeezus out of those people.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply I didn't trust you. Per the post I put just above, I was looking for more information about the arrests and at that moment I was about to jump on a work call, so didn't have time to go looking myself.

I should also add that protesters/counter protesters with firearms scare the stuffing out of me. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a protest where people were arming up like that.

But I'm one of them liberal snowflakes that isn't a huge fan of lots of guns all over the place (I am a firearms owner, I've done some hunting, and I served in the Army, so I'm reasonably aware of how firearms work).

I was a slacktivist.  Never saw that movie.

I do recall a lot of save the whales back in the day, sign this or that petition etc.  Must have worked.

I'd say...a worldwide ban on whaling. Tough to top that petition

1. We are in a pandemic and people are bored
2. Unemployment is high
3. The president is an idiot and is easy to protest
4. There's a cause that is righteous and has been in the news for years
5. It's pretty easy and cheap to get from one place to another

All in all you get some ripe conditions for malfeasance

Well y'all know my take.

We have people who live in two different realities, who don't even know each other any more, don't trust each other, and are being actively taught to hate and fear each other.

One government can't govern two different realities. It can't work. One culture can't satisfy two realities. It can't work.

So we're literally locked in battle with people who don't even live in our world, over who gets to control both worlds.

Humanity is breaking, fellas. And I don't see any way out.

The people who do not want a capitalist republic have options elsewhere, right?

I agree about humanity breaking. It's just not good.



Anyway, as for some of the whereabouts of folks...

You know the Republican party post Trump is an interesting concept. It was pretty much broken and reformed into his image. But who else fits that image?

Ivanka.
