Patrick Hutchinson helped an injured counter-protestor and carries him out of the crowd.

When asked why he said "You have to show love for your fellow man."

Google his name. It pops up on CNN and other evil Liberal media sites, but apparently FOX decided this wasn't the kind of news that fit their narrative. They're too bust running non-stop rerun loops of fires that burned two weeks ago.

This reminds me of the Police No-Go Zones in France.

Tucker Carlson... proof the right doesn't give a s-hit what anyone thinks of them.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

My favorite parts where when the ominous drums kicked in at the man slowly twirling a pipe like a baton and pure musical terror at an image of what appears to be a homeless black man lounging with a book. The second one is where I I lost my breath I was laughing so hard.

The consensus favorite seems to be the guy in the banana costume doing whippets. My favorite comment in that thread is the person who said this sounds like a score by Hans Zimmer if he spent the entire quarantine listening to Prodigy.

It's gross how this video tries to make images of mentally ill / homeless people and/or anything unusual to its elderly audience seem like menacing anarchy, but it's also so over the top in its incompetence that it's genuinely funny.

Hey RI, what do you make of the recent incident in CHAZ where a auto shop business owner detained an accused arsonist and thief, and then said the cops refused to come after several 911 calls? People tore down the fence in an attempt to free the detainee.

Haven’t had time to follow. Too many deadlines. Haven’t done back to back all nighters in decades. I’ll check it out after I finish the last one and get some sleep.

Graham Allen says he is disgusted with America.

HFS.

When Liberals said this they were told to leave!

It's a common part of evangelical discourse to express disgust with America and wish God would punish it for its wickedness. Yet, at the same time, if you complain to those same people about features of America *you* don't like, the narrative tends to flip into "How dare you criticize America! Gtfo!" For a conservative Christian, the only thing unusual about Rev. Wright's "God bless America, no God damn America!" speech that caused an absolute firestorm was that the sin he was complaining about was mistreatment of blacks. If you switched the subject to abortion or homosexual marriage, it'd been fairly standard. But his grievance was with racial discrimination, so people who don't blink at white evangelicals routinely saying the same thing on other subjects were apoplectic.

More generally, there tends to be a double standard in current conservative culture that allows for constant complaining about America for things they care about while also being extremely intolerant of criticism of America for things they do not care about.

I've linked this before, but this David Cross bit makes fun of it here:

It's a common feature of people with an authoritarian mindset.
