Farming was a staple of the Johnson household, but so was the manufacture and high-speed transport of untaxed whiskey. Junior Johnson quickly became involved in both family businesses, sharpening his skills as a driver with his fearlessness in distributing liquor in hopped-up cars.

“The good whiskey runners were kind of cocky about it, like good race drivers,” Johnson told the Associated Press in 1991. “I guess I was pretty cocky.”

Legend has it that Johnson was never caught on the road. He was convicted of moonshining in 1956 after authorities staked out the family still. President Ronald Reagan pardoned him on Dec. 26, 1986. “No maybe about it. Best Christmas gift I ever got,” Johnson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2007. Johnson now sells moonshine legally under the Midnight Moon label.

So, in The Bulwark, a center-right Never-Trump online news/opinion site that has tried hard (maybe even too hard) to see the protestors' PoV, Editor Charlie Sykes posts this as something seen on social media:


I first thought that whoever put that out should know that it helps Donald Trump's campaign.
Then I thought that perhaps someone in Donald Trump's campaign is putting that out.  A false-flag operation.
Then I thought that nobody in charge of Donald Trump's campaign would be smart enough to do that.
Whichever is true, it helps Trump's campaign.


I can't tell if I think that's fake or not. On the one hand there is certianly someone on the left that's enough of a dipshit to make such a poster. 

On the other "Do what you want. Fuck shit up." is entirely the kind of scare tactic hamfisted nonsense someone trying to stir stuff up would do. 

Some quick twitter and google searches turned up nothing really. One account posted it, apparently only created in late May. Not sure what to read into that.

Haven't property values skyrocketed?

I was on a plane next to a couple Austin guys and they were talking about it like it was the Bay Area, with many of the issues of living in a place prospering in a tech-heavy way.
If they defund the police just wait a few years and those values will come down

NASCAR. Early days had some roots in moonshine running. Build that fast car to outrun someone.

I think Junior Johnson, one of the sports stars way back when even did a little time making a run for his family.
Sure. . . .
I was trying to think of field sports and couldn't stretch my imagination far enough to make "running from the cops" fit any of them.
But NASCAR, sure.  An outlaw sport at its inception.  And I think you are right about Junior Johnson.

Every time I hear the song "Convoy" anymore, I wonder what we would have thought had it been done by a gangsta rapper.
