Big congrats to anyone who called for their smelling salts when it was suggested that there might be some, you know, super subtle themes of white supremacy on Carlson's show.

It turns out the St. Louis couple who gained some infamy for pointing guns at protesters are awful, awful people. Or, rather, more awful than you might already think:

They're overly litigious batman villains who have a long history of asserting rights over property with violence.

It's not the worst or most relevant thing in the article, but one example is a neighboring Jewish congregation put up bee hives near, but not on their property to make honey for religious celebration. They destroyed the hives and left a note to clean up the mess immediately or they will have a restraining order placed on them and sue them for attorney's fees. They're extraordinary dicks.

The amount of entitled litigation and disregard for others on display is amazing. There's also a theme of serial legal theft.

The UK Daily Mail has published leaked footage of the Memorial Day encounter between George Floyd and the four Minneapolis, Minnesota, police offers who were implicated in his death, triggering nationwide unrest and controversy.

The footage, apparently filmed while the body cam footage was being shown in court, appears on the Daily Mail website and includes over eight minutes of the fatal encounter which have not previously been seen or scrutinized by the public.

Some new details emerge in the video. At the start of the encounter, police aim a weapon at Floyd, 46, as he sits behind the steering wheel of a parked car. (The Daily Mail describes officers as aiming at his head, though the angle is not clear.)

Floyd is handcuffed without a particular reason being given, and two people traveling with him are questioned. One tells officers that Floyd was mentally or emotionally disturbed by having a gun aimed at him, having previously been shot.

After being led to a police car, Floyd resists sitting in the car, telling officers that he is claustrophobic. He also says the fateful words, “I can’t breathe,” before he is on the ground and before anyone is seen applying pressure to his neck.

An autopsy showed “signs of fentanyl, methamphetamine and THC — the ingredient that produces marijuana’s high — in Floyd’s body,” the Associated Press reported in June, though doctors stressed they could not draw further conclusions.

And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Meet Adam M. Zaborowski.‬⁣

‪He literally fired an actual AK-47 at police after refusing to wear his mask in a convenience store. He shot at the workers too. ‬⁣Cops were wounded. Zaborowski was also wounded.

‪He is alive because the cops immediately began performing CPR on him and life flighted him to a hospital.

‪Compare that up against: ‬⁣

‪George Floyd‬⁣
‪Philando Castile‬⁣
‪Breonna Taylor‬⁣
‪Tamir Rice‬⁣
‪Eric Garner‬⁣

Lil Wayne’s life was saved by a White cop. I also just saw a video of a White cop saving a suicidal Black man’s life. So. Does this count for anything or are we just supposed to accept the narrative that ACAB, and the BLM’s Marxist leadership’s assertion that the White patriarchal capitalist system needs to be torn down and replaced with, I dunno, a socialist system ran by elitists who’ll ensure their system totes works this time?
