Great playlist, as usual from the Neophiles – sadly, there is never enough time to listen to them all.

Except for Cindy Sheehan, and the Democrats dropped her like leftover oatmeal when it suited them.

Her own take on the subject:

Though as I recall that history, Kent State was also the end of the mass campus protests. However strong their anti-war convictions most young people decided they didn’t want to chance getting shot.

That, and the end of the draft. To a very large extent, those protests were less anti-war protests than they were anti-draft protests.

Talk about motivation!
I guess one good turn deserves another…

THIS sick scheme—installing scads of traffic cameras to make it easier for cities to ticket drivers, often wrongly, while at the same INCREASING the chances of collisions occurring—seems to have gone under the radar:

“Team Trump moves to ban traffic cameras in DC — as NYC’s set to quadruple the dangerous devices”—

Key grafs:

…The dispute over red-light and speed cameras goes to the heart of the question of how much harm politicians are entitled to inflict while they shake money out of citizens’ pockets.…

…[DC Mayor] Bowser’s program was a smashing success: DC government revenue from traffic-camera fines rose almost ninefold, from $30 million in 2014 to nearly $270 million last year.

Regrettably, the number of traffic fatalities in DC doubled in the decade after Browser launched Vision Zero.

Red-light cameras spark traffic collisions because drivers stop suddenly to avoid being fined….

They are bloody minded bastards, or have you forgotten Bill Ayers plans for the rest of us if he had succeeded after Kent State? You remember Billy’s plans for concentration and reeducation camps in the SW?

Don’t “”go wobbly means these may be times that try men’s souls.

The left won’t moderate and will escalate, count on it.

Has forgotten what 48 hours is and based on one analysis by one dude has decided to go wobbly.

Number 1 you weren’t there.

Number 2 the ICE bodycam videos are not released

Number 3 the video isn’t the investigation

Number 4 it is quite possible that the ICE LEOs did not know if the suspect at that time had any other firearms on him.

Don’t panic because you want to relive Kent State.

Get a grip.

Or light your hair on fire.

And change your Depends.

At best this was a tragic mistake. Watch the video showing the one agent (in gray) pulling the handgun from the rioter’s holster, while the agent at the back draws his weapon. As the agent in gray moves away, the second agents moves around and then begins shooting. His focus was on the agent in gray removing the gun and when he sees the gun being removed he draw his weapon. He had to see the gun had been removed.
Whether or not the rioter’s gun went off accidentally, the agent that opened fire saw that the gun had been removed by another agent, yet he opened fire.

If it was from the rioter’s gun accidentally going off, the sound would have been from behind the agent. Even if it was too chaotic for the agent to process where the sound was coming from, he still had to have known the rioter’s gun had been removed.

There may have been a legal justification, but I think many Americans will not approve of the shooting.

Listen to how Secretary Noem describes the incident and how the videos show it. This is the worst thing that could happen right now.

This is not a legal question, it’s a political one.

It’s the optics and how the independents that voted for Trump and wanted illegal aliens deported are going to react. It’s likely the reaction is ‘sure we want illegals deported, but not that way.’

These videos may well be our “Four Dead in Ohio”. It was a powerful song that was a continuous reminder of the tragic shooting on Kent State. With our social media, this shooting will be on continuous replay.
