Do these idiots morons subhumans actually think throwing hands will let them get their way.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I'm guessing it's that "honor culture" thing at work.

I didn't see any pictures of the luggage.  I am curious just how "over sized" it was.

Modern Disney:

Some of the comments were lamenting that Disney used to be a child safe brand.  I would question that.  IMO, the best you can say is they were a whole lot more subtle with their messaging.  I am sure the subtlety is still there, but flies under the radar with crap like this.

True. Disney has been controversial for quite some time.

This should be a crime:

And speaking of, this was the comment that captured it all:

Remember the 6 year old that shot a teacher?
Well it gets even more bizarre. Makes you wonder what his home life is like.

Boy, 6, who shot and wounded his teacher 'constantly swore at staff, tried to whip them with his belt and choked another teacher until she couldn't breathe'

I recall when I was a kid, my Mother complained about Disney's adaptation of stories she read (not cartoons).  The original books had a great deal about the character's Christian faith and all that was stripped out in the movies.  In her opinion, they had been anti-Christian for a long time.

Self-genocide?  That's a new one for me.

Definitely something in the water

Quote
'As a long-time social movement activist and anarchist, Jen did not believe in state violence, carceral punishment, or incarceration as an effective or just solution to social violence and inequity,' they wrote.

They added: 'We know Jen would not want to continue the cycle of harm by bringing state-sanctioned violence to those involved in her death or to other members of Oakland's rich community.'

In fact, she once bragged on Facebook that she had taught her employees to do what she does and 'never call the cops.'

Interesting that they use the term "social violence".  Always trying to blame horrible acts on anything other than the individuals who committed them.

Given her beliefs, why was she chasing them? It's pretty obvious that they were just redistributing wealth, and likely engaging in active reparations, so she should have been good with that. Probably should have thanked them for their wokeness. Maybe that's why she was chasing them? To apologize for being white?

And her survivors want alternatives other than incarceration for the perpetrators?

How about the gas chamber. That's an alternative.

Jesus Christ, left-wing ideology is more and more a mental disease, not a political stance.

If only there had been any signs the kid was predisposed to violence, maybe we could have intervened before he shot some one.

Oh well. I guess there's no way to tell until the shooting starts.

I'd read that before.  My first thought then (& now) is how the hell was a 6 year old able to choke out an adult?  Did the teacher not fight back??  Or at least break the hold???

Second thought was, yeah, what the hell was going on in that household?

Having seen a number the videos on genderbending put out by tutti fruity haired things in teaching positions, yeah, I could see a six year old choking them out.

I suspect that even in a self-defense situation the teacher would be crucified for touching the child.

Only in a mad world would saying "only US citizens should vote in US elections" be controversial.

I still don't understand how removing urinals would stop guys from peeing standing up. Maybe it's a generational thing, but when I use a public toilet where there are no urinals, (like the single toilets often found in gas stations or convenience stores) I still pee standing up. I'm polite and kick the seat up with my foot before I go, but I'm not sitting down. I don't have urinals in my home and don't sit down to pee here either.

One of the great mysteries of our time has to be how these LBGTQ+ activists suddenly became so influential in our culture and politics. This is insane.
