#1 This reads more like creative writing than an actual account.

#2 Embellished no doubt. But scores of people were shot and killed. For half a century we have seen eruptions of mayhem and savagery resulting in great bloodshed committed by our "peaceful protestors," again and again, across this country. More will come.

#3 How many Korean stores burned or looted? 2d Amendment was still in operation back then.

#5 M203 is a grenade launcher, but don't believe that's what he had.

Although you never know. Times were different.

#7 I'm kind of with you there, 746.

Or he forgot and it was a .223, not a mistake someone who has one would make however.

#9 Apparently written in 2004, but near the end, he offers this - I started explaining to her how I thought the next ten or twenty years would play out in America, I explained to her how unless some radical political force changed things that demographics would continue to shift. I don't want to brag but I got 9 out of 10 things correct in the years to come from 1992-2004. I showed her logically how the character of nations changes according to the genes of the people who live in it, I showed her examples from Byzantium, Persia, Rome, India, etc.

I told her how the government would counter-react with stringent new controls on constitutional rights to try to manage an explosive cocktail of conflicting peoples - they would have no choice but to begin to conduct themselves as an empire, how empires always ended in civil war. I tried to explain how as America weakened internally from these conflicts that her countless enemies would begin to see the wisdom of striking her once and for all as she declined in homogeneity. Unlike Rome, in a nuclear tipped world poised on a razor's edge it was possible that America would cease to exist in a single day, rather than decay over a longer period of time like ancient civilizations.

So he and his Australian wife moved to Australia.

#10 Not fanciful at all. The entire basin went DEFCON 5 that day the jury reported. Violence spilled over to surrounding counties, hatred of the racial sort boiled over directed by blacks against whites and Asians. LA erupted in fire and dense smoke for a week. Police in LA didn’t do their job much like cops in some cities are failing their cities today.

Back then gun stores were jammed with people loading up in the aftermath Lesson learned.

#11 Chauvin is most certainly not guilty of murder. Here's a medically-astutute, thorough, no-BS or hedging, devastating description of the evidence -- not the bullshit autopsy with its unsupported and tendentious conclusions that were bought and paid for by Floyd's family, but the ACTUAL PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.

BLUF: there is no medical evidence or logic to support a finding of homicide. None.

All the examinations--both the Medical Examiner's and the hired-gun coroners'-- established that there was zero damage to Floyd's veins and arteries, which those of you who know anatomy (or MMA wrestling) understand are located on the FRONT of the neck.

The video makes clear that Chauvin's knee was continuously on the BACK of Floyd's neck, and never even came close to pressuring the carotid or other blood vessels.

Beyond the shadow of a doubt (let alone a reasonable one), Floyd was neither strangled nor asphyxiated. Didn't happen.

This entire episode is built upon a monstrous and absurd lie. A wicked criminal lie, one that is destroying this nation.
