It's true that in Germany a "life sentence can mean parole after 15 years (ridiculous). The kind of murder described here would not qualify. And often "Sicherheitsverwahrung" may be decided.

The shocking video was filmed at the Macy's store at the Genesee Valley Center in Flint Township, Michigan and has circulated around social media
Local rapper FT Quay took to Facebook to share the video on Monday
Brief clip shows the black man punching the white man in the face for allegedly calling him a 'n*****'describing him as a n*****' to someone on his cell phone
The white man tells the black man he is sorry as the assailant punches him a few more times
Flint Township Lt. Brad Wangler said that they are investigating the incident but no one is currently in custody

So Poindexter called someone obviously looking for trouble a name right to his face? But it didn't happen so fast a camera was on it? Does that make sense at all? Sure this isn't go beat a white guy until he apologizes for something?
And Quay, doing wonders with the black men are over violent and aggressive stereotype. Oh, rapper, the face man for the drug trade.

From here onward this will be used to justify every single attack on a white person. Even with witnesses around. All one has to say is, “What did you just call me?” Then begin the attack. Bystanders will assume they missed the comment but will certainly tell the story of how the evil white oppressor made a racist comment to provoke the attack and thus deserved it. And the white people will fall all over themselves to claim that they heard it and denounce brutalized victim. Who is now the aggressor with the actual aggressor now the poor victim. This is 4th gen warfare. If you were wondering what the civil war would look like, you’re right in the middle of it.
[UPI] The half brother of Robert Fuller, one of two black men recently killed in hanging deaths under investigation in Southern Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, was fatally shot in a police encounter Wednesday.A lawyer for the Fuller family, Jamon Hicks, identified the man killed in the encounter with Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies Wednesday as Terron Jammal Boone.
"This afternoon I had to notify the sisters of Robert Fuller that their half brother Terron Jammal Boone was killed by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies in Kern County," Hicks said in a statement. "At this time, until we receive all of the information, the family and their legal team [don't] have any further comment on this incident."
According to a sheriff's office statement on Wednesday's fatal shooting, the Major Crimes Bureau was searching for a kidnap domestic assault suspect at the time.
"The detectives observed and positively identified a male matching the suspect's description in a vehicle," the statement said. "Detectives followed the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop. The suspect opened the front passenger door of the vehicle and engaged the deputies by firing multiple rounds at them with a handgun. At the time, an officer involved shooting occurred during which the suspect was struck several times in the upper torso. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene."
A female driver was shot and taken to a local hospital where she was treated and released, the statement added. A 7-year-old girl in the vehicle was not injured. Deputies also were not injured and a handgun was recovered from the scene. Investigation is ongoing.
The Los Angeles Times reported that court records show that Boone was charged Tuesday with multiple criminal counts including criminal threats, assault, false imprisonment and domestic violence.

Seems cultural rather than genetic proclivities?
[Patch] Latinos as a group make up 34% of the county's population, yet make up 67% of all known positive COVID-19 cases in the county, data shows. Apparently the Chinese Scientists hate them more?
Multiple reports released Wednesday reveal that Latino, Black and Pacific Islander communities are more significantly impacted by both immediate health effects and economic effects due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to data from San Diego County, Latinos as a group make up 34% of the county's population, yet make up 67% of all known positive COVID-19 cases ‐ 5,517 of the 8,201 cases where data on race was available. Latinos are getting COVID-19 at a rate of 479.4 per 100,000 people, a rate more than four times higher than that of the white population, who are testing positive for the illness at a rate of 112.6 per 100,000.
Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders are testing nearly as high as Latinos, 455.4 cases per 100,000, but comprise 67 cases, or .8% of all cases in the county. The Black population is testing at 202.4 per 100,000 and the Asian demographic 142.8 per 100,000, 3.6% and 6.3% of all cases, respectively. White people testing positive for COVID-19 make up 20.9%, or 1,718 of all cases where racial demographics are known.
These numbers are also reflected in a study from the San Diego Association of Governments, "COVID-19 Impact on the San Diego Regional Economy: Black and Hispanic Communities Hardest Hit." and women and children

Rowlings post-Harry Potter books have not sold so well. Publishing companies routinely discard authors that don't sell super-well.
The fact that they are even listening to the staff suggests the Harry Potter back catalog isn't selling well or is no longer controlled by this company.
[The Australian] Australia is under mass cyber-attack from a foreign state targeting all levels of government, industry and business with cyber experts claiming the source of the attack could only have come from China.
Scott Morrison this morning revealed that Australian organisations were actively being targeted by a “state-based cyber actor” but would not name the country believed to be behind the “malicious” cyber raid.
“What I can confirm, with confidence, based on the advice, the technical advice that we have received, is that this is the action of a state-based actor with significant capabilities,” the Prime Minister said.
“There aren’t too many state-based actors who have those capabilities.”
Australian Strategic Policy Institute executive director Peter Jennings told The Australian it was “very clear” that China was behind the cyber attack on Australia, and that Mr Morrison was calling Beijing out.
The Prime Minister said in Canberra: “This activity is targeting Australian organisations across a range of sectors, including all levels of Government, industry, political organisations, education, health, essential service providers and operators of other critical infrastructure.
“We know it is a sophisticated state-based cyber actor because of the scale and nature of the targeting and the trade craft used.”
[YNet]- China's latest plans to overhaul its disease control system may not improve its ability to handle future virus outbreaks, according to some experts inside and outside the country.
The reforms, announced in late May, do not fix all the flaws exposed by the new coronavirus and do not tackle the issues of secrecy and censorship that many experts believe turned an isolated outbreak in the central Chinese city of Wuhan into a pandemic.
"The biggest problem in China is (local governments) are afraid that epidemics can impact social stability," said Yang Gonghuan, a former deputy head of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Beijing. "So they don't want reporters to speak and don't want people like Li Wenliang to speak."
Li, a doctor in Wuhan, was reprimanded by police for "spreading rumors" when he tried to raise the alarm about the disease, which he later died from.

Mnuchin told four European counterparts that talks were being suspended
He warned of US retaliation if Europe presses ahead with its own digital taxes
Deal is intended to make firms pay according to their activity in each country
The proposed deal is intended to make digital giants pay taxes according to their actual activity in each country, rather than shifting their profits to low-tax regimes such as Ireland or Luxembourg.
Mnuchin also took aim at the digital services taxes which some countries including Britain and France have imposed but which Washington sees as unfair to US firms.

Except for the gummint subsidies (cheap delivery via failing USPS) Amazon is as close to a pure capitalist play as you can find nowadays. Owner super rich. Workers at the bottom really just scraping by. If the cyber left was looking for a target appropriate to their beliefs, they picked the right one.

Fuckin' achievement... I know. But it gives the present Government great matter to feed the ignoramuses back home, and ride on the 'success' to another term. Also it's just in time when two countries are gearing up to fight us.
[EconomicTimes] India's term will begin from January 2021. Delhi's priorities include effective fight against terror and reformed multilateralism as its aims to boost its status as a major power. More to posture as one in the domestic sphere, really.
NEW DELHI: India scored a major diplomatic victory to enter the non-permanent category of the UN Security Council when elections were held for the five non-permanent members on Wednesday. India won 184 votes out of 192 valid votes cast. Skipping silly, embarrassing rhetoric.
India's approach will be guided by "Five Ss", as set out by the Prime Minister: Samman (Respect), Samvad (Dialogue), Sahyog (Cooperation), and Shanti (Peace), to create conditions for universal; and Samriddhi (Prosperity). India's overall objective during this tenure in the UN Security Council will be the achievement of N.O.R.M.S: a New Orientation for a Reformed Multilateral System. Or just hand over everything to S.N.O.R.E.S, Somnolent Non-confrontational Obsessive Rear-Echelon Sissies.
Moved to Friday. In general, articles posted after 14:00 ET (or EDT in the summer) are to be published the next day.

[NYPOST] Is Cream of Wheat next in line for a social-justice makeover?
Cream of Wheat is now re-evaluating its black mascot following announcements by Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben’s that they would overhaul their controversial imaging amid online criticism. The move comes in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests over the deaths of George Floyd and other black men while in police custody.
"We understand there are concerns regarding the Chef image," said B&G Foods in an emailed statement, adding that they "are initiating an immediate review" of the cereal brand’s packaging.
The Cream of Wheat parent company is referring to their 130-year-old beaming cook logo, which was based on Rastus, a black caricature that appeared in minstrel shows in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reports CNN. The stereotypical chef was portrayed in early Cream of Wheat ads as a slow-witted former slave, and the name Rastus still has racial connotations today.
Since then, the image has been updated to make it less offensive, however, experts claim that the racist undertones remain. "Why aren't there any black mascots?"
"Oh, shuddup!"
"Racism, that's what it is!"

That’s not new. An American-born Chinese girl and I spent some weeks in the designated-black dorm when we first moved on campus while our housing was sorted out, and boy did the Black girls there resent being temporarily integrated. Completely unlike the Black kids who lived on integrated floors. This was in 1980.

[STARTRIBUNE] DULUTH — City leaders are making a push to remove the word "chief" from job titles, calling the term offensive to indigenous people.
At a news conference Wednesday, Duluth Mayor Emily Larson implored City Council members to vote to approve the change next week "so that we have more inclusive leadership and less language that is rooted in hurt and offensive, intentional marginalization."
The measure, slated to go before the council Monday night, would change Chief Administrative Officer Noah Schuchman’s title to city administrator and Chief Financial Officer Wayne Parson’s title to finance director.
"I think that there are other titles that we have the opportunity to use to steer away from language that may put people down based off their race or culture," said Alicia Kozlowski, Duluth’s community relations officer and member of the Grand Portage and Fond du Lac Bands of Lake Superior Chippewa.
Kozlowski said "chief" is used as "a racial epithet, and it turns into a microaggression." She added that the city is trying to be proactive by addressing the issue before residents ask.

Etymology of Chief from Old French chief "leader, ruler, head" of something, "capital city" (10c., Modern French chef), from Vulgar Latin *capum, from Latin caput "head," also "leader, chief person; summit; capital city"

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] The University of Virginia changed its athletics logo after that last one which debuted about two months ago had connotations to slavery on campus
A new logo introduced Tuesday lacks the curls added to the handles of the sabers which have come to represent the school's Cavaliers athletics
The school's athletics director Carla Williams says she did not realize at the time the previous logo had a 'negative connotation' to the school's past links to slaves
The curls recall the serpentine walls that the school used going back to the 1820s to mask slaves that lived and worked there, drawing criticism
The walls have since come down because of space issues, but shorter ones erected in the 1950s remain on campus
Anyone who purchased university clothing with the old logo is being offered exchanges by the school

Yesterday it was Aunt Jemima. This is mass hysteria.
[MIAMIHERALD] Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup says it will review its brand and packaging after two other popular products announced changes to their products due to racial bias concerns.
"The Mrs. Butterworth’s brand, including its syrup packaging, is intended to evoke the images of a loving grandmother," the company said in a news release Wednesday. "We stand in solidarity with our Black and Brown communities and we can see that our packaging may be interpreted in a way that is wholly inconsistent with our values."
Conagra Brands said it has "begun a complete brand and packaging review on Mrs. Butterworth’s."
"It’s heartbreaking and unacceptable that racism and racial injustices exist around the world," the company said. "We will be part of the solution. Let’s work together to progress toward change."
