Dear god black people just have no idea how to handle police that will arrest them for getting into their faces.




Dude did not hesitate to use the mace. Also have a special appearance of the 5'2 BMI 35 women cop that isn't helping at all and can't do anything productive.
 
I would think something like Roblox would fall under federal court, not state court.

Good on them for trying, but I get a feeling this might fail for procedural reasons. Something something supremacy clause, something something commerce clause.
Why would it fall on Federal court? People in Louisiana can obviously access Roblox, therefore Louisiana has jurisdiction.

State law being applied to a national entity. If Roblox wanted, I would think they can argue that Louisiana's law is attempting to usurp federal authority vested to it in the commerce clause. Unless Roblox is headquartered in Louisiana, at least of what I know this is an avenue to attempt to trainwreck the whole attempt. 100% a procedural issue though, so it's not that Roblox good, more Louisiana's law has undotted i's and uncrossed t's and we have rights.
 
Just for when you come back to the bookmark, this does not include using federal law enforcement to: protect other federal agents and employees, protect federal buildings, protect international events, enforce federal law, or Trump coercong states and cities with threats or actions of withholding federal funding into letting him do all the bullshit he wants to do.

All of these actions are well established powers of the federal government and have been basically since the creation of it.
i'm not surprised that it took someone like Trump and the type of results from the 2024 election to push back against congress and NGOs kneecapping the government, but i am surprised at how many people either ignorantly or subversively claim that the federal government isn't allowed to dictate how federal assets are used

i know everyone on planet Earth expects the US government to just be a free money machine but come on

Let's be honest.
let's revise that to be fallout 1

fallout 2 is a bad, inferior game and i'm tired of pretending it's not

That is what happens when the apes run the zoo because the zookeeper was trooning out.
 
After Uvalde.

I believe school shootings were an unironic shitlib plot to destroy the 2A.
At the risk of going tinfoil schizo, I agree with you.

Even if every school shooter wasn't part of it, they would only need to get a few to do it and then just let the copycats go wild and as the media turns every shooter into a mini-celeb it inflates the cycle.

Wtf is a ‘national entity’? Being headquartered in another state doesn’t make a business immune to every other state’s laws. Are you retarded? You are considered doing business in a state if (a) you have a location in that state or (b) you have end customers in that state. Roblox provides a software service to Louisianans. They are subject to Louisiana law.

To be fair i do not know if what the police dude did is allowed.But if you DO want to record, you definitely should not be coming up to their faces, that's retarded. Maintain a reasonable distance.

Conspiracy making 101. Never discount, "Accidentally on purpose."

I don't think this was an explicit plan to disrupt the 2A in particular.

But having a bunch of disgruntled students flipping their shit in violent ways is manageable for the people in power, and if it's manageable, it's monetizable whether your currency is dollars or power. Being able to dig at the 2A is just a happy byproduct of this, but in reality school shootings are good for the media, (If it bleeds, it leads.) government (Disgruntled person removed self from voter rolls. General chaos helps the sheep be scared.), and general authoritarianism. (Helps breed a desire for safetyism among the public which is easily manipulated.) It'll sound stupid but think about it literally... Britain's gun control didn't mean anything when they all went to stabbings. Britain just started recycling the same arguments but now it's knife crime.

Quoted from the US Constitution... "[The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes; . . ."

Issue Roblox can raise... The Louisiana law is an attempt to usurp this power given they're an internet based company and Louisiana's laws are trying to be applied to everyone who uses Roblox. The argument is that Louisiana is not Congress and if Roblox is not in Louisiana, then Roblox has every right to say that Louisiana cannot make law on behalf of other states. The fact they're seeking damages in general and not something state targeted like a forced region lock adds credence to this. It sounds dumb at first glance, I totally get it, but as I said in that comment this is all procedure, so Roblox would want to be as pedantic as possible as that's kind of the name of the game.
 
Gigachuds like this guy are offering up their details to apply to every job that's relevant to their resume
Shame he's asking everyone else to do the work for him though.

Also X to doubt on the arrest thing, lol.
Yeah, if anyone takes a swing at a National Guardsman they'll unleash hell. They're active-duty military personnel. Fucking with them is a mistake.

I don't believe it's legal for National Guard to arrest anyone as though they were domestic police.
They sure can. If people turn violent, especially if they go after NG soldiers, they can arrest people just fine and drag their asses to federal detention.

Because it is dumb.

Louisiana has standing to sue Roblox because Roblox does business in Louisiana. They sell Roblomegabucks ™️ in the state to LA kids. LA kids are affected by their moderation policies. The law is a clusterfuck, but there is a base logic to it and what you're describing flies in the face of that logic.

Roblox WILL bring up jurisdiction arguments because lawyers always argue every point they can to maximize the chances they get lucky and get off on a technicality, but it won't be thrown out on this argument.
 
The worst serial killer of all time, a homeless guy who bludgoned and strangled 117 people over a 30 year period Samuel Little is black.
In the US. Harold Shipman (white; Britain; 218 credited, as many as 250), Luis Garavito (Latino*; Colombia; 193 confirmed, 221+ claimed) and Pedro Lopez (Latino*; Colombia; confirmed 110, claimed > 300) top Little (confirmed 60, claimed 93).

*by US census definitions, white.

Also Javed Iqbal (Pakistan), Mikhail Popkov (Russia), Daniel Carmago Barbosa (Colombia), Pedro Barbonos Filho (Brazil), Kampatimar Shankariya (India), Hoshang Mini (Iran), Yang Xinhai (China), and Abul Djabar (Afghanistan) top Little by confirmed kills. Some of those (and some others) top Little by claimed kills as well.

Also the redefinition of "serial killer" to include things like gang hits** has expanded the numbers of Black "serial killers."

Relatedly:
When analyzing the number of victims per offender, clear patterns emerge across racial lines. Among White serial killers, 29% had exactly two victims, while 22.8% were responsible for three murders. About 14.5% killed four victims, and 9% had five. Notably, 24.7% of White serial killers had six or more victims, showing a relatively even distribution across kill counts.

In contrast, Black serial killers were more concentrated at the lower end of the victim count. A significant 36.7% of Black serial killers had two victims, while 25.8% had three. Only 12.3% killed four people, and 7.3% reached five victims. The proportion with six or more kills was lower compared to their White counterparts, at 17.9%.

These differences suggest that while both White and Black serial killers can reach high victim counts, White offenders are more likely to commit a larger number of murders over time.

**
Motivations and methods for serial killings vary significantly by race. White serial killers are more likely to kill for personal enjoyment and are more prone to use poison as a method of murder. In contrast, Black serial killers are more frequently motivated by gang affiliations or criminal enterprise and are more likely to use firearms.

The national guard isn't to be fucked with. They may not shoot you, they may have some restraint. But a M4 buttstock to the face would fucking hurt as their buddies zip tie your ass.

Ok, think about it this way: Louisiana is alleging a violation of Louisiana state law, and is seeking injunctive relief. How does a federal court get jurisdiction?
 
Dear god black people just have no idea how to handle police that will arrest them for getting into their faces.
They never have. Blacks, when given an array of choices in how to respond to a police interaction, consistently choose the worst possible course of action, every fucking time. "Freeze!" They bolt at top speed. "Drop the knife!" They lunge at the cops despite their guns being drawn and get mowed down in a shower of bullets. "Put your hands behind your back!" They curl up in a ball to hide their hands. "Stop resisting!" They buck like rabid donkeys. "Get in the car!" They run their mouths and don't move an inch. "You're trespassed, leave and don't come back." Instead of leaving, it's always "but why doh? I'm axing why dey banning me!"

To be fair i do not know if what the police dude did is allowed.
It is. You don't roll up like that on cops in riot gear. Even the press doesn't get to pull that shit.

This doesn’t make any sense and isn’t how any of this works retard. The Commerce Clause grants Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce. It does not take away any state’s right to regulate commerce within its own state. A state can impose a law on any business providing services to its state so long as it doesn’t discriminate against out-of-state businesses unfairly. It doesn’t matter if a regulation could or would affect non-Louisianans because Roblox is choosing to do business in Louisiana and is therefore accepting to operate under its laws. There is a tremendous amount of precedent for this.

Conservative justices like Thomas don’t even think that the rulings against discrimination should exist, and that states and Congress should both be free to regulate interstate commerce independently as they see fit (i.e. a strict reading of the commerce clause).

the caption was fucking stupid as shit. The guy that rushed up on the cop got his shit pushed in, but the guy taking the video of THAT wasn't bothered at all.

Bet $10 dude was mumbling "I'm gonna fuck you up nigga" while rolling up behind the officers back. Camera recording go both ways and black dudes are usually on the loosing end.
