In the old anthropology books on my dusty shelves they describe pre-civilizational tribal groups who discovered the "slash and burn" form of early agriculture. Ignorant of the most simple ideas about planting and harvesting, they merely found natural crops, and enjoyed them until they were consumed, and then moved on.
These modern feral tribes are going to discover that when you create social structures with no inhibitions you quickly destroy the crops you depend upon (the remaining merchants and convenience stores) and only weeds grow.
What follows are derelict blocks like inner city Baltimore, and they will need to drive outward to find the basics of civilization. To places where the pale people live with attitude and armament.

Again, notice the race of everyone involved. This is little more than a black hate crime on Asians. These type of attacks are ramping up more and more, especially in California.

This speaks to the foreign awareness of this little corner of American Opinion and makes me wonder why some troll across the Pacific finds it helpful to their cause to post it here, but in their language, not ours.
Google Translates it as:
"Time to Bring Back The Master"

According to the latest available FBI Unified Crime Report, San Francisco had the highest overall crime rate of the 20 largest cities in the United States, recording 6,917 crimes per 100,000 population in 2019.
That was more than double the crime rates in New York and Los Angeles, and well above the rates in the next largest US cities: Chicago, Houston, and Phoenix.
[NYPOST] The convicted sex fiend freed without bail after he allegedly sucker punched a stranger into a coma was described at a parole hearing Saturday as "an imminent threat to the community."
And so he is. And has been, not that it mattered until his actions got international attention embarrassing to The Powers That Be who previously blocked all actions to stop him.
Van Phu Bui,
...in our archives as Bui Van Phu — one must be his name Western style, with family name last, the other Eastern style, family name first, but I’ve no idea which order is which...
who was sent to jail Friday only after a public outcry and intervention by Gov. Kathy Hochul, belongs to the vicious Born to Kill gang, his parole officer, Nixa Rivera, said at the Bronx proceeding.
"Mr. Bui is a 55-year-old male with a persistent violent mostly peaceful felony offender history," Rivera said. "Mr. Bui is a registered level three sex offender, the highest level on the sexual offender registry. Mr. Bui continues to be an imminent threat to the community."
She said the Vietnamese immigrant had been living in a shelter for the past six years, had no family or community ties, and had worked the cash register at a nail salon for the past two years.
Bui, who is on lifetime parole, had been released without bail after his arrest Wednesday for punching 52-year-old Jesus Cortes unconscious on a Bronx street Aug. 12, according to a criminal complaint.
Cortes remained at Jacobi Medical Center Saturday where his family said he was sedated and on a ventilator following surgery.
The NYPD charges of attempted murder were later downgraded by Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark to misdemeanor assault and harassment, which are no-bail violations.
After outrage was sparked by The Post’s front page coverage Friday of Bui’s release, Hochul claimed credit for sending him back to jail saying her administration reached out to Clark’s office to discuss the case.
"This is a person on lifetime parole, and as of minutes ago, that person is now in jug. That is at my direction," Hochul crowed Friday. She criticized judges and district attorneys Saturday while speaking at a Hamptons synagogue.
Rivera indicated at Saturday’s hearing that "the pending criminal charges will be elevated to felonies."
[NYPOST] The angry head of the taxi driver’s union said the arrest of repeat offender Austin Amos in the beating death of cabbie Kutin Gyimah should be "a wake-up call for all elected officials and all New Yorkers."
"We’re either going to end this or continue allowing recidivists to keep coming out and doing as they please," Fernando Mateo said, speaking on behalf of the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers and Gyimah’s family. "Do we want our city back, or do we want New York City to turn into New Orleans or reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... ?"
Amos, 20, was one of three people charged in the Aug. 13 attack on Gyimah in the Rockaways and is alleged to have delivered the fatal blow to the 52-year-old father of four.
Austin Amos was arrested for allegedly attacking cabbie Gyimah chased Amos and other passengers after they bolted without paying the fare.
Amos was charged with manslaughter and gang assault Thursday and sent to jail without bail.
He had been arrested 10 previous times, including for robbery and sexual misconduct, and he’s listed by the NYPD as a "robbery recidivist," sources told The Post.
"I think it’s time to realize that these repeat offenders have no cure. They need to do time to reflect on what they did to their victims," Mateo said. "Stop considering the rights of the criminals above the rights of the victims. Once they committed a crime, they lost their rights. In this case, they took someone’s life."
In a statement shared by Mateo, Gyimah’s widow Abigail Barwuah did not address the recidivism issue, but did note the ages of his attackers.
"My husband, my best friend, the father of my 4 children was taken away too soon at the hands of children," the text said. "I forgive them, but there must be justice, I pray for them as well as for the soul of my husband.

When Lewis and Clark headed west they found the Great Prairie, a vast grassland. As humans in numbers moved in they brought with them their trees. You can see the islands and oasis of human habitat by the groves and forest of trees they planted. Even largely abandoned villages and homesteads today still sport their flora.

The tribes on the western prairies regularly started fires to keep trees and bushes from taking hold, making it far easier to spot the prey they hunted.
Hard to see bison or pronghorn in a woods.

A Necro buffet?
[Breitbart] Police in southern Nigeria’s Edo State recently discovered “20 mummified corpses” inside of a building believed to have formed part of a “shrine for ritual killings,” Nigeria’s Premium Times online newspaper reported on Thursday.
Jennifer Iwegbu, an assistant superintendent of police in Edo, said that she and her colleagues reported to a building three miles outside of Edo’s Benin City on August 18 after receiving an anonymous tip that the facility was a “suspected ritual shrine,” the Associated Press (AP) reported. The team of personnel searched the building and soon discovered 20 mummified corpses stored inside a room. The corpses included 15 males, three females, and two children.
[Breitbart] A Canadian armed forces veteran with a brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was offered medically-assisted suicide by a Veterans Affairs Canada employee while seeking treatment.
The veteran, who has not been named, is said to have sought help for his brain injury and PTSD at Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), a government agency that offers a variety of programmes for veterans, including mental health services.
The veteran claims that an employee of the VAC causally suggested to him that the government could help him with what they call medically assisted dying (MAID) during their conversation, despite the veteran not expressing any prior interest, broadcaster Global News reports.
The broadcaster, which claims multiple sources have confirmed the conversation took place, said VAC later apologised to the veteran in question after he complained to them several times about the conversation.
VAC also released a statement in which it claimed it "deeply regrets what transpired" and that "appropriate administrative action will be taken".
It is unclear how many veterans have been offered help with assisted suicide by VAC since the laws surrounding euthanasia were liberalised by the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ...hereditary prime minister of the same country that once produced McKenzie King... last year. It was initially legalised in 2016.
In March of next year, Canada will begin to allow those with various mental conditions to be eligible for euthanasia, including depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and PTSD.
The country will become one of the few countries, such as the Netherlands, which allow medically assisted suicide for people whose only condition is a mental disorder, rather than those who suffer serious incurable physical illnesses, diseases, or disabilities.
Dr Grainne Neilson, former president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association and a forensic psychiatrist, commented in April on the changes set for next year, saying: "My hope is that psychiatrists will move cautiously and carefully to make sure MAID is not being used as something instead of equitable access to good care."
According to statistics from Health Canada, the number of assisted suicides has surged since legalisation in 2016, when 1,018 cases were reported, to last year when there were 10,064.

No apology necessary. The worker was just saying what she was trained to say in the class. Veterans with PTSD should be killed because they hate them.
#3
A politician in the States will eventually propose that as a solution to Veteran homelessness. My bet is that it will be a West Coast politician now that Northam is out of power.

[SAHARAREPORTERS] Pooja Gaud, 16, is finally able to meet her mother again after nine years of her disappearance.
Pooja, who was seven years old at the time, went missing on January 22, 2013. She claimed she was picked up from outside her school in Mumbai, Maharashtra, by a pair who enticed her with an ice cream.
She was found on August 4 in what has been termed a "miraculous escape," BBC reports.
Her mother, Poonam Gaud, said she is overjoyed.
"I had given up hope of ever finding my daughter. But the gods have been kind to me," she said.
The maiden of tender years was allegedly kidnapped by Harry D'Souza and his wife, Soni D'Souza, because the couple did not have their own child. Mr. D'Souza has been arrested.
Pooja was last seen in a modest house in a suburban slum with her two brothers and parents.
She had departed for school with her elder brother on the day she went missing, but the two had a fight, and her brother proceeded into the school, leaving her behind since he was running late. That's when the duo allegedly kidnapped her and promised to buy her ice cream.
Pooja claimed that the pair transported her to Goa and subsequently Karnataka, both in western and southern India, and threatened to harm her if she cried or drew attention to herself.
She said she was allowed to attend school for a short while, but after the couple had a child of their own, she was pulled out of school and they all shifted to Mumbai. She alleged that she was physically abused by couple.
According to her, the abuse got worse after the baby was born.
"They would beat me with a belt, kick me, punch me. One time they beat me with a rolling pin so badly that my back began to bleed. I was also made to do chores at home and work in 12 to 24 hour-long jobs outside."
D'Souza's house was close to her family's, but she says she was unfamiliar with the roads, was always monitored, and didn't have any money or a phone, so she couldn't call for help or try to find her way home.
Pooja, on the other hand, managed to get her hands on the couple's phone while they were sleeping and put her name into YouTube. She discovered videos and posters describing her captivity, as well as phone numbers she could call for assistance.
"That's when I decided to seek help and escape," she says.
BBC reports that it took her seven months before she could muster enough courage to discuss it with Pramila Devendra, 35, a domestic help who worked at the same house where Pooja worked as a babysitter.
Ms Devendra immediately agreed to help her. One of the numbers on the missing poster connected them to Rafiq, a neighbour of Pooja's mother. The mother-daughter first spoke on a video call and then a meeting was arranged.
Her mother says she checked for a birthmark only she knew existed on her daughter and on finding it, she was overcome with emotion. "All my doubts were immediately gone. I knew I had found my daughter," she says.
Ms Devendra is happy to have played a part in this reunion. "Every mother should help a child coming to her for help. We might not be their biological mothers, but we are still mothers," she says.
Pooja, a few family members, and Ms Devendra proceeded to the cop shoppe after the meeting to file a complaint. "Everything I told the cops was true. I even gave them the location of my kidnappers", she stated. As a result, the culprit was identified and apprehended.

[DIGITALJOURNAL] Rescue workers searched through the rubble of a Shiite Moslem shrine in central Iraq into Sunday night, after a landslide killed at least five people including a child.
After more than 24 hours of digging through collapsed rocks, wood and other debris, "we have found five bodies," civil defence General Abdelrahman Jawdat told AFP.
"That could be the final toll," he added, while digging continued in case there were other victims.
It is the latest tragedy to befall oil-rich but poverty-stricken Iraq, which is trying to move past decades of war but is hobbled by political paralysis, endemic corruption and other challenges. like landslides
Civil defence front man Nawas Sabah Shaker said earlier that between six and eight pilgrims had been reported trapped under the debris of the shrine, known as Qattarat al-Imam Ali, near the city of Karbala.
Rescuers drove a bulldozer through the shrine’s entrance, which resembles half a dome ornately decorated with blue tiles covered in Arabic script.
The sacred building, flanked by two minarets, sits at the base of high, bare rock walls. Part of its concrete roof had been torn apart.
Jawdat said rescuers had recovered the bodies of two women, a man and a child, and were working to free the corpse of the fifth victim, another woman whom they had located.
Armed security forces guarded the shrine entrance while rescuers worked inside and onlookers watched from behind a metal fence.
Three children were rescued earlier following the Saturday afternoon disaster, emergency services had said, adding that they were in "good condition" and being monitored in a hospital.
Rescue teams working through the night Saturday were able to provide supplies of oxygen, as well as food and water to some of those trapped through gaps in the rubble, state news agency INA said.
