I think I must be missing something from this latest story, so I'm hoping someone in here can help.This latest ICE facility shooting - The shooter has anti-ICE messaging on his bullet casings - how quaint, this is quite the fad, but he only shoots and kills detainees. Not one single ICE agent shot or law enforcement shot.The shooter is a 29 y/o white male, who seems to live w/

You’re not missing anything. Trump was always going to use any excuse post ICE funding to incite violence against the left.

I can name-drop pages long. And Hollywood parties are fun, and interesting.

Maybe I'd be there w/ you if the food scene was better, along w/ the weather... but LA, man... sorry.

No need to be sorry because it’s not 1990.

London has 80 Michelin starred restaurants and LA, with more than twice the population, has fewer then 30.

The weather has improved here too though I doubt it compares.

Two very different cities certainly, but I like my cities to have an epicentre instead of half a dozen sprawling towns. Even Shanghai has La beaten hands down on that metric.

Ok, just checking. I mean what are the odds this guy is a "lefty"? The above makes zero sense.


It was a suicidal maniac who somehow had access to a high powered sniper rifle

I don’t really care what his political affiliation is

The administration wants to create a blue scare. This is because they are weak and they know their policy is unpopular

Their only path forward is extreme levels of batshit propaganda

I don't tend to eat at Michelin starred restaurants often. But when I do, there's plenty, and plenty of M recognized as well.

I'm talking actual food scenes where there are lines of street food from random chefs. I know London has stepped up it's game there, but last time I was there it just still didn't compare, and I had to do it all while fumbling w/ my umbrella. 😀

Agreed... I don't care either. But they immediately called him a democrat, liberal, whatever... again, w/o even all the evidence yet.

But just on the general, doesn't make any sense based on what we do know. If he's anti-ICE why TF is he shooting detainees and not ICE? 😀


Hegseth ordering all the top military brass to attend emergency meeting. Can't be good.

The standing theory is that he was a bad shot. I don't know if that's reasonable based on the evidence though.

The early theory is he was just shooting anywhere he thought he could hit ice agents. Bullets riddled everywhere the immigrant he killed was inside a van

Totally... 😀

29 y/o white male that lives w/ his parents... umm, ya.

Yet they won't say how many shots were taken.

Interesting.

40 million people beat me to it so its too crowded for my taste, but the climate and terrain are incredible. I totally get the appeal of CA.

I'm starting to to think I could look past the cost of living in places like SoCal or NYC. I'm certain there's so much more to life than what we get in WNY. I'd probably happily be broke in SoCal and not have spend however many hours here shoveling snow and not seeing the sun.


US negotiates $20 billion bailout and debt purchase with Argentina

by coordi

Why would anyone look at a handful of objectively destructive policies and say "This economy is about to J curve!"A guy I talk to that I recently found out is a generational Georgian plantation owner thinks that Argentina laid out the economic model for this ignoring that they blew up their economy for 4% GDP growth (nevermind that inflation is >100%). 1/10th the population, 1

by coordi

Its crazy how single minded you all are with these thoughts and how pervasive a singular thought can spread throughout you all like some game of ****** telephone.Lets skip the deep dive and let me question you this:What good is 4% GDP growth if your inflation is 25%? Why would we want to repurpose our global powerhouse economy to match developing nation? You do realize that t

Evidence the Ice shooter was a nihilistic 4chan edge lord and probably not a right or left winger

I lived in CA for 20 years, NY for 10 and Texas for 10. I have literally never met a single person who left the upper East Coast and then decided to go back. It’s the absolute worst combo of cost and weather in the country.

Libertarian is just a code word for white male conservative...

But ya, none of how the administration was paining the shooting made any rational sense, so I'm not surprised. Thanks for posting. I'll look into those sources more.

I miss NY desperately :(


Well just a hunch but no way you lived in WNY

cot damn. My mom born and raised in Rochester. My dad went to RIT. I was born in Batavia, raised in LeRoy/Alden.

FYI the garbage plate sucks.


I’ve banned people for less

Garbage plates are everything

I’m not gonna take criticism from someone who probably loves beef on weck VOMIT. Hey Buffalo, nothing needs that much caraway, you freaks! 😉

I wasn't going to respond earlier, but you have now edited it. If you vomit of beef and weck you suck as a human (and moderator). How convenient of you to leave out the 10 day salt intake
