Based on the article he wasn't even handing out a mask that would hide people's identity. They state it was a face shield similar to what police use....which are clear. Sounds like they just arrested a dude for handing out water and PPE because people are being shot in the face.

I just saw that video and it is really strange. Not so much that rat hasn't been deployed, I don't think they lost hydraulics or electronics and I'm not sure they even reached the minimum speed where the rat would really help.
The strange thing is that it didn't really look like there was very much yaw or rolling which you would expect to see with a fuel system failure. They seemed to be flying straight as an arrow and gliding it down?
Maybe something wrong with thrust control? Kinda crazy.
Unless they're airlifting it all out. In which case it still has to fly over terrain that's not to their advantage.
Why would they have to fly anything out of the valley? If the military is able to secure supply lines in war zones that have more than small arms resistance I don't think it's going to be a challenge to secure them in Cali.
we also make the missiles here.
Who's we? It's not like the entire country is going to support a rebellion, especially not anyone in the military industrial complex. Even if you have missiles, you don't have the weapons platforms or even know how to operate them.
The best option for them would be the port of oakland. Theres lots of shitty tech bros there, but you still see tributes to the best and best dressed mlm's to ever pick up a rifle, some of whom are, while far past fighting age, still kicking around a dense high tech city-and this would be for their food supply line, so it wouldn't exactly be possible to starve them out.
What are you talking about? Why would food have to go to Oakland? You don't ship food from California to the rest of the country on boats.... Nor are some old dudes with small arms going to be able to do anything to military convoy.
The farms are all staffed by people who hate them. Every single one, not just here but especially here. Even the small/mid sized farmers-and i have talked to them-hate this shit, or are literally beibg chased out of the fields, literally as i type this. The logistics lines are disproportionately worked by those same people.
Work gangs, prison labour, political prisoners, hungry people willing to capitulate to feed their families.....you know the same thing that has happened throughout history. Plus, there's plenty of conservative chuds in the valley.
For multi engine planes it's pretty rare, most likely a fuel system failure, or less likely pilot throttling error. My money would be on something with the fuel system.
Runs business dependent on under paying his immigrant employees.....votes for president that is claiming he will kick out all the immigrant workers.... profit?
How fucking braindead are these people? You'd think I would get used to being illuminated to just how ignorant a large sector of the population is, but every time it just feels like a kick in the teeth.
Hope this guy ends up fucking homeless.
I'm not sure they could control the means of production here.
You don't think a military force could control the supply line of some farmers? Most of which are already owned by large conglomerates that would gladly follow the orders of the government.....
A lot of it is in and around areas that arent ideal terrain for fighting on their side.
Have you been to the central valley? It's just large open fields and orchards surrounded by gentle rolling hills, it's not the fucking korengal valley my dude.
Lol, it's not. The IRS doesn't care about your brokerage sales unless you're liable for a capital gains tax, which wouldn't happen if you are not making a profit.
Plus, if they received a huge pile of paper about your trades that didn't include a 1099-b, which is literally just like 1/4 of a sheet of paper....they would just request it from your brokerage.
Anyone who thinks the IRS is some evil org has just never done their own taxes and listens to propaganda from billionaires who don't think taxes should exist.
If you've ever really had a legal problem with the IRS, you were more than likely purposely evading taxes and deserve the trouble. They are actually really reasonable to work with, and usually bend backwards to resolve the issue in several different ways before pursuing anyone legally.
It's not really based on facts, more of a matter of opinion. I agree that the democratic party needs to be shakin up, I just think it needs guidance from a more militant left winged voice to counteract just how far right the GOP has gotten.
I didn't say it was? However, if we currently had stricter gun control who do you think the current administration would be attempting to utilize those laws to prosecute?
If we had a fair legal system and our political leaders weren't literal fascist, I would absolutely advocate for strict gun control. That's just not the political landscape we currently inhabit.
If those laws were present today, you would have the ATF hunting down every brown person with a gun and right winged chuds would be free to keep their massive arsenals, ensuring that christo-fascist maintain an absolute monopoly on violence.
There are areas and kinds of people who can live off the land, in one way or another. They do exist.
They can live off the land when the vast majority of the population isn't trying to do the same. Hungry human populations are worse than locust, we can absolutely destroy entire ecologies in weeks.
the military really is in the same boat as the rest of us.
In the scenario they proposed the military would be controlling the means of food production. This isn't something we have to guess about, there's plenty of examples of intentional famines like what the Brits did to Bengal, and the Irish, or the Soviets in Ukraine, and unintentional like during China's cultural revolution. During those famines the military didn't starve, the common people did.
If those populations who were already subsistence farmers and hunters couldn't "live off the land" then what makes you think anyone on lemy is going to do any better?
And in the face a fascism we should be telling people on the left to disarm themselves?
He's better than the establishment in the DNC, but that like saying oral herpes is better than getting your lips ripped off by a pitbull. It's still not a great scenario either way you look at it.
Lol, that cop did not like the uno reverse of pepper spray.
