People cancelled, silenced and shot for saying 'all lives matter'

US Police officer shot dead, daughter posts tribute online, abused horribly.

Gee, lucky I stumbled onto Rowan this fine Sunday morning, eh?

People doing as you say and walking around with guns. People having words. Somebody loses their temper and shoots. Somebody dies.


From the account that is not what occurred

Somewhat pre-meditated.

I provided an account. "premeditated" after words had been exchange? Might have still been heat of the moment. But (a) I hope they catch the guy who fired the round and (b) I hope we hear additional accounts.

It is thus far unclear to me if the shooter was even part of the same group. And... premeditated to shoot who he shot?! Seems pretty unlikely. If the shooter was aiming for her, that's pretty good shooting. Even when I was on the pistol team in college I would not have been able to hit a person I was aiming at at the distance they've suggested.

Rubio, in his tweet after somebody realized the mistake, said:

Earlier today I tweeted an incorrect photo

John Lewis was a genuine American hero

I was honored to appear together in Miami  3 years ago at an event captured in video below

My God grant him eternal rest

My God.

Folks who won’t wear masks should get in their cars and drive everywhere without seat belts.
When the cops say “Click it or Ticket” are they gonna stand on their rights?

And they should insist on service when shoeless or shirtless. And walk around nude.

An investigation is sought concerning McConnell's role in getting a sitting judge to resign so that the GOP could fill the seat.

Oh, look - what a surprise.

GA manipulated their data to make them look healthier than they were.

the same week Kemp ordered the reopening, his administration began presenting data in a way that made the state appear healthier than it was, said Thomas Tsai, a professor at Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

The technique involved backdating new cases to the time of first symptoms or taking a test, instead of reporting them as they were reported to the state, like Georgia had previously done -- and like most states do.

“It is deeply concerning,” Tsai said. “I cannot of course speak to the motivation.”

The effect -- as states were being told to predicate their reopenings on two weeks of declining case numbers -- was to artificially make Georgia’s trends look better. The state began adding new cases to past dates on its trend line, making current numbers both too low and incomplete, Tsai said.

“What’s deceptive is that they shave off the most recent two weeks,” he said. “If you look at the most recent two weeks, it’s always very low. It always looks artificially like a downward trend.”

The backdating has value for epidemiologists, said Nancy Nydam, a state Public Health Department spokeswoman. “The traditional way to look at data during an outbreak is by symptom onset date, which tells you more about when people are infected,” she said in an email.

But Tsai said that the massaged trend chart appeared to dictate policy, and that Georgia shouldn’t have shifted counting methods midstream. He called the timing “fishy.”

The goal of arresting them was to end the protest, that's all.

I expect a lawsuit out of this misuse of power.

Kid given all you know about the pandemic what grade would you give the president's handling of this crisis so far?

And Incomplete is not an answer


b plus

What would it have taken for him to be getting a C? A D?

Only pedagogues use rubrics.
