*runs in the room*
Okay, I got this. They called me in like, ten minutes ago. So here is the news from down south!
Guatemala: Trump cuts aid and starves Guatemalans.
Quilinco sits deep in Guatemala’s western highlands, in an overwhelmingly agrarian region where poverty is high and child malnutrition rates hover around 70%. The region also boasts some of Guatemala’s highest migration rates to the United States. Local farmers say climate change is making it increasingly difficult to get by and is one of the factors pushing people to head north.
But Quilinco has also benefited from a U.S.-funded program to help farmers adapt and improve their food security. It’s a place where one agricultural aid project’s impact — and the stakes of cutting such aid, as the Trump administration did this past spring — can be seen firsthand.
To get there, I rode a bus for five hours from Guatemala City and then got a ride in a pickup truck for another hour. The truck bounced up a dusty dirt road that wound up the mountains, through pine trees and a patchwork of little fields of corn and broccoli.
Virtually everyone in the town makes a living as a farmer, planting corn in the summer for subsistence. In winter, many also plant vegetables such as snow peas and potatoes for export to the United States.
Farmers and scientists say climate change has been making agriculture more difficult. This year, the problem has been drought. Rain patterns have been more unpredictable, and storms have been stronger. Two years ago, a rare spring hailstorm shredded García Ramos’ corn plants, and he lost the entire crop. In other years, hurricanes have left him with nothing
Columbia: A plan agreed upon by Columbia and eight other Latin American countries to convert their economies to run on 70% renewable energy. This is twice that of the EU. No mention of mass starvation or economic migration in the article.
In Bolivia….meh, who cares? Okay, fine. This one is funny.
Trump to Honduran migrants: “Go back to the shithole you came from.” (No, not really)
The Trump administration signed an asylum agreement with Honduras that could force asylum-seekers to seek protection in one of the most dangerous countries in the world instead of the United States, the latest agreement with a Central American country aimed at curbing migration at the southern border.
The U.S. signed the asylum agreement with Honduras’ foreign minister of affairs, a senior official with the Department of Homeland Security said during a news teleconference Wednesday afternoon.
The accord would allow the U.S. to send asylum-seekers from the southern border to Honduras to seek relief in a country with one of the highest murder rates in the world.
Breaking news: Rudy Guilianni subpoenaed by the House. This is not Mexican related.

Then you get no prize.
Just being here, with you, is prize enough for me
You sound like the Ukranian President talking to Trump.
You don’t even want to know what the favor is.

Korean in her 70s tries MEXICAN FOOD FOR THE FIRST TIME (Ben Shapiro Owning Compilation, Not Clickbait)
Grandma seems to dig the tacos, for sure.
These euphemisms….
LOL. good one.
Does she know about Korean tacos?
“Does she know about Korean tacos?”
Yeah, but she prefers the ground beef over dog.
Trying to imagine my mother using chopsticks…
What’s the Shapiro reference?
General Youtube video title grammar.
My wife likes to watch those X-people try Y-peoples food videos.
The Korean girls eating American BBQ?
North Koreans eat…anything.
The last one was Guatemala vs Mexican tamales.
Guatemala tamales just have dirt in them since we cut off aid.
I started eating Mexican food when I was around 3-4, made by real Mexicans in their street corner vending set ups. Been addicted to the stuff ever since.
This. I grew up in a farming beach town. There was one blonde girl in my whole elementary school. Place was 80-90 % mexican. I used to eat at my friend’s houses, where they would cook everything from scratch with the best of each ingredient. I’m kinda spoiled by it and a tad on the picky side now. I make my own, but I always add garlic. My mom was half Sicilian and she taught me that garlic goes in everything that’s not sweet. I also add chilis to Italian food, so there’s that.
I’ll add that there’s Mexicans and then there’s Mexicans. Think about your typical American. Some of them eat wonder bread doused in milk and slathered in mayo. Others eat like kings. In the big city, where I’m at now, there a wide range of quality to Mexican food. Much of it sucks. I’ve noticed that the hard core places like East L.A. tend to have lower quality food. You can find the good stuff, but not easily. Farming communities seem to have fresher and better food, for obvious reasons.
orly?
Yeah really…
*rolls eyes*
It’s the malnutrition talking.
They read the New Yorker.
This. They know what to tell credulous gringo reporters.
Farmers trying to get it on government handouts? I might faint.
Migrant workers bringing some of the US back to Central America.
“Local farmers say climate change is making it increasingly difficult to get by ”
May I translate. “USA, please send us boatloads of dollars”.
That’s what they say when reporters ask, “is this because of climate change?” THEN they say that climate change is causing them to head north. They don’t really get into why they came north for decades before climate change was even a thing.
Sixth-Grade Girl Admits To Fabricating Hate Attack That Media Linked To Mike Pence’s Wife, School Says
https://dailycaller.com/2019/09/30/sixth-grade-hate-attack-hair-pence/
They are always fake nowadays. This took an extra special long time to be exposed.
“More breaking news: Trump now colluding with Australia! This is also not Mexican related.”
What? They don’t eat tacos in Australia?
The real question is whether or not she thought up the scheme by herself.
^This.
Like with Greta, I’ll withhold criticism of the girl, but I disdain those adults and reporters who pushed this story.
Yeh. A couple of years ago a Muslim 11 year-old in Toronto claimed to have been attacked by whypippo. Within hours Trudeau was sticking his stupid retard pimpled-limped cock into the story before the cops had a chance to fully investigate.
Oh it was a hoax. And people said the same thing. ‘She made a mistake! Don’t be too harsh on her!’
No reprimand as far as I could tell.
But hey. Don’t underestimate the fact Jussie Smollett got away with his lie as a sign for people to try and pull a hoax.
I’m so happy I’m a muppet. Humans are cra-cra.
Do they even call them hoaxes, or do they elide with weasel words like incident? Because hoax implies planning and culpability. The current narrative seems to be that even though the person faked the incident that it was all the result of inherited trauma, and stop asking so many questions you shitlord.
Yeah, but he’s a person of color. At least some of the time.

“They said my hair was nappy and I was ugly,” Allen, a sixth-grader, told NBC Washington in an emotional interview.”
So Br’er Fox had caught Br’er Rabbit and this time Br’er Fox said he was going to cook Br’er Rabbit and eat him up for good! Br’er Rabbit was mighty scared. He begged, “Oh, Br’er Fox, I don’t care what you do with me, so long as you just don’t throw me in that briar patch over there. Go on and barbecue me up, Br’er Fox, but please don’t throw me in that briar patch.”
Pretty much.

So after the inevitable collapse anyone want to move to Argentina or Chile with me to start up the free state of Gliberton?
YES! Either. Argentina is beautiful, albeit a socialist shithole. I claim everything south of San Martin del los Andes

And here’s one for HM.

“Breaking news: Rudy Guilianni subpoenaed by the House. This is not Mexican related.”
What? Are you saying that none of the House members are of Mexican heritage? That Guilianni doesn’t eat tacos???
Yes
He eats the Mexican Bowl at Trump Tower.
They do have the best taco bowls.
ANDREW YANG WAS RIGHT!
Then the machines were replaced by Mexicans.
Just wait until they start making Mexican machines. You’ll also be able to get the Ass Sex upgrade in version 2.0.
They have machines for that now?
And here I am crying in the kitchen.

With regards to the fake hate-crime article here, I immediately thought of this.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/iowa-university-christian-group-lawsuit
I’m all for this, but I’m trying to figure out the personal liability. Not that I’m against it, but I’m guessing the University took up their defense and would have expected them to indemnify.
I’m in favor of joint liability.
Maybe because they didn’t follow University policy, so they aren’t protected?
I still want the university to be liable too so that they have a strong incentive to stop hiring assholes.
Idk, if I hire someone and tell them not to molest the customers and they molest the customers, I have a hard time seeing how that’s my fault, assuming I did the background check and what not.
In this case, I imagine the university had ample opportunity to fire them and undo the decision. This would not have gone unnoticed.
That’s a good point.
If they hire Chester the Molester and he does thing in secret, there’s the question of whether the university should have known, and if they were negligent in allowing it to happen.
In this case, it was all out in the open, and the people in question were acting in their official capacity in abusing their power.
I concede the point. They should both pay.
Good and hard.
Yes, this and Scruffy’s point.
Are you not aware of how our tort system works?

You haven’t heard about Playa Manhattan’s pension and liability fund idea yet.
Dunno, but I applaud the move. If they get the message that they don’t have cover from the University, and it’s coming out of their own pockets, most will think twice before trying this bullshit.
Government. Employee. Held. Personally. Liable. Best timeline ever.

Breaking news: Rudy Guilianni subpoenaed by the House. This is not Mexican related.

When they get to Europe, they’re treated like Mexicans. OM and I went to a bar in Vienne, France. You had to knock on the door, and a little door would slide open with someone looking through. They wanted to make sure you weren’t Algerian.

Peaceful Anti-Fascists help elderly woman across the road in a heartwarming video.
The brutal far-left organization Antifa showed its true colors over the weekend when a video went viral showing several of the organization’s members blocking an elderly couple from crossing the street outside a college in Canada.
In the video, which sparked massive outrage online, an elderly woman with a rolling walker can be seen trying to cross a street alongside her husband as a horde of Antifa thugs repeatedly shout, “Nazi scum off our streets.” At one point, when the husband tries to reason with a female member of Antifa, she immediately shouts back, “Don’t you f***ing touch me.”
The incident unfolded outside Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario on Sunday, which was hosting an event featuring commentator Dave Rubin and founder of the right-leaning People’s Party of Canada, MP Maxime Bernier. As the video went viral, several conservative commentators expressed outrage on social media, especially over the fact people nearby did nothing to help the couple as they were being harassed.
The answer is “carry a gun”.
I’m pretty sure that’s the way this is headed seeing how the cowards in blue aren’t going to do anything about them. They’re going to fuck with the wrong person eventually.

The lawyers for the intelligence official who filed a whistleblower complaint against President Trump that triggered a formal impeachment inquiry have expressed “serious concerns” for their client’s safety, according to reports.
A letter signed by the whistleblower’s lead attorney, Andrew Bakaj, and sent to acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire pointed to Trump’s call for “the person who gave the whistleblower the information” to be publicly identified, NBC News reported.
The letter, dated Saturday and made public Sunday, said events from the past week “have heightened our concerns that our client’s identity will be disclosed publicly and that, as a result, our client will be put in harm’s way.”
Ain’t nobody got time for consequences. Go ‘way, Bad Orange Man.
He’s afraid he might end up like Seth Rich?
My hope is that we never go back to how it was. Presidents should be afraid of whistle blowers, because they know that they can’t squash them like Edward Snowden.
because of the media’s bent, this will only apply to non Democrats though. Obama did at least 10 things worse than this and nobody cared.
And yet somehow you heard of these worse things that Obama did.
Are you seriously claiming that there is not a double standard in media coverage?
Right wing media covers right wing outrage, left wing media covers left wing outrage. Where’s the double standard?
Right wing media is a couple of websites Rush Limbaugh, that idiot Hannity, and maybe Fox (the heirs seem to have caught a bit of the cocktail thirst). Left is everything else., and includes most of academia, and the bureaucracy.
If that’s the case where are all the deplorable getting their news, you can see it here everyday, Glibs linking to stories that blow up the “Media”‘s narrative. Either we have a bunch of investigative journalists lurking about or ‘the media’ ain’t quite so one sided.
I’ve said it before, bitching about “the media” is like bitching about Budweiser, yes it’s a shit beer but many, many people drink it, You can’t blame Bud for giving the people what they want. If most people drink shitty beer it’s not because there isn’t a plethora of choices it’s because people are (as a whole) maroons.
The question isn’t where are partisan deplorables getting their news. It is whether the undecided middle ever hear anything except the leftwing narrative. Partisans on the right go to Drudge or Breitbart, they listen to Rush. Partisans on the left listen to Maddow et al. Those who are in the center avoid all of those sources and get their news from WaPo and the NYT and from the networks.

On Sunday, the president suggested in a tweet that he wants the whistleblower to be outed.
“Like every American, I deserve to meet my accuser, especially when this accuser, the so-called ‘Whistleblower,’ represented a perfect conversation with a foreign leader in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way,” Trump wrote.
Vigilante justice.
I’m not sure how else you fight a silent coup.
The Whistle blower isn’t the accuser, he’s an anonymous tipster. The house is the accuser.
The accuser, whom you have the right to confront, is anyone who presents evidence against you in a proceeding. There is no accuser implicating this right unless or until a proceeding begins. In any event it would not be the House, in this context the House serves as the analogue of a Grand Jury.
FIne, the members of the House who started the impeachment stuff are the accusers.
Not unless they appear as witnesses.
I’m not disagreeing with your meta-point. Trump does not have the right to confront anyone unless:
1. a proceeding is begun, and
2. that someone comes forth to testify.
You don’t have a right to confront someone for calling the police to report a crime. You have the right to confront, or cross examine, anyone giving evidence against you. No trial, no right to confront.
IANAL…when the evidence is shit you said/did on the record I imagine those who are prosecuting you enter that shit into evidenve themselves and are de-facto your accuser at that point.
Fair enough, ignore my penultimate comment.
Well, he’s right. Or else the NYTs and other left wing hacks just keep coming up with unnamed accusers, forever.

“Local farmers say climate change is making it increasingly difficult to get by and is one of the factors pushing people to head north.”
“Farmers and scientists say climate change has been making agriculture more difficult. This year, the problem has been drought.

In other years, hurricanes have left him with nothing.”

What a bunch of horseshit. Every goddamned bit of it comes down to “Give me money”. How about ‘fuck you’? You motherfuckers will stop starving when you pull your head out of your ass and get busy. Until then, starve.
From the article: “a Justice Department inquiry that Mr. Trump hopes will discredit the Mueller investigation, ”
Discredit what? The damned thing essentially exonerated Trump. What? Now we are pretending Schiff-style that it says what we want it to say, not what it says? Oh….now I see. NYT.
I think climate change is the last thing South America should be worrying about. They’re not exactly bastions of economic stability to begin with (outside Chile….for now because socialists never sleep….like rust).
South America has some incredible climates for growing stuff. Climate is not the reason they cannot be successful, massive corruption is. So of course their massively corrupt political class is going to play this game, takes the focus off them and could result in free boatloads of dollars, which they will steal all of and the poor farmers will be just as poor.
They just want money. Someone told them what words to mouth to get it. That is all this is. The whole global warming hoax s nothing more than an attempt to shake down the US.
If it were up to me I would cut off the spigot to the UN and every other country in the world except Israel. They need to start earning their own keep.
Ditto, except I’d include Israel.
What’s the libertarian case for funding Israel. not being an asshole just would like to see your case.
Also not being an asshole, but what’s the doctrinaire libertarian position on foreign aid?
Maybe funding a foreign country’s military to protect a border that isn’t practical to defend yourself.
Weren’t they trying to shake us down for climate change despite producing record farming output?
This was pretty funny when it happened.
“Hey. That record banana crop we produced last year was clearly hampered by global warming. Please give us money”.

I see what you lads are about, I does. Who wants to march up and down the square? Why of course you does, Rufus. And you too Bobarian and Mikey. Right! Form up, then.
What the fuck is a guatemalan?
Its a species of Indo-Mexican.

You’re close.
That’s a good movie
LOL. Forgot about that scene.
A different kind of musical selection
Nice.
My favorite era of electronic music.
Oh hell yes. Best track on the album.
One quick follow up from my posts about the workshop that 2.5 hours of my live disappeared into (previous post). Invisible Finger made a comment about asking why there was no sign language person. Not exactly the same thing but, after the workshop was scheduled, the woman who organized it (who I actually like and is one of those rare competent & diligent academic administrators) sent out an abject apology for being dumb enough to schedule it on the first day of Rosh Hashanah.
Jews are out of the stack. My only claim to victimhood is out the window.
We made you guys honorary white people a while ago. You’re welcome.
Only the Ash-Kenazim; Sephardim still in that liminal category with Anthony Quinn.
They kicked out Gays that don’t tow the lion also.
Oh, yeah, happy (((New Year))), to you people.

So much for hunting the most dangerous game.
This admission seemed to indicate that Brackney would be open to the banning of any firearm – or even any weapon – whatsoever, since a criminal bent on “hunt[ing] individuals” could use virtually any firearm for that purpose.
Firearm? Hell you can do this with a rock, or even just your fists.
Cain hardest hit.
She’s the police chief in Charlottesville, Virginia’s Rich Prog Haven.
^This. Also, recent appointee to replace they guy who stood down his men during the “Unite the Right” rally. And I’m sure everyone here knows that police chiefs are political appointees and that Sheriffs are constitutional officers elected by the people.
Unfortunately there seems to be no shortage of shitheel sheriffs around too. I agree though that of all the different flavors of LEO’s they do have the most constitutional legitimacy.
You know, I have happy memories of living in Charlottesville, and I enjoy going there for UVA games and apple picking at Carter’s Mountain, but goddamn shit like this really makes me want to never go bacl.
What do you call a government run by cops?
The United States?
Police Academy ?
Have fun with that bitch.
I don’t think I could have fun with that bitch.
Not even with Warty’s dick.
This is the logical conclusion of “officer safety” being the paramount principle of policing.
‘We have our boot on your throat for our own good, citizen.”
“Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) even asked her directly, “Okay, so you then stand for the proposition to ban any type of firearm, because any firearm can be used and misused to kill people.”
Rather than answering the question directly, Dr. Brackney began talking about police and the social contract.”
At least they aren’t pretending any more. Maybe more people will understand what we are up against.
Yeah, a hack.

“The ADL Has Declared Anti-Antifa Image As ‘Hate Symbol’ and Opposing Antifa as ‘Racist’”

Communism is a race, apparently.
Well I can certainly see why.

‘Communism is a race, apparently.’
Usually white, usually from a well to do family but guilt felt over the privilege has been so deeply ingrained into the poor sap that they want to burn the whole thing down? That race?
The ADL and SPLC can GDIAFF as far as I’m concerned. Those organizations are George Soros level evil.

Anyone who is not anti-left doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together, or they think they will be a member of the party elite of the new Stalinist regime.
I tried to find the appropriate Boondocks Saints clip but couldn’t….
This is how you do it. You endlessly pick pick pick at scabs. Paint your opposition as immoral and guilty no matter what they do or say. Paint them into a corner so they cannot move or speak. You keep doing that until things boil over and violence breaks out. That is the end game here. They want violence. They can’t win in a straight argument, they cant win people over with ideas so they resort to the fist. We have seen this a hundred times before. The left is always and everywhere the same.
I think it’s probably a good thing I don’t have Thanos’s glove today. I should just stay offline.
Is that the thing with the “pleasure bumps” on it ?
That’s one way to put it:)
New Ohio gun legislation.
http://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/republican-lawmakers-propose-gun-background-check-reforms
“Sponsors said fixing the background check system would be the foundation of finding a solution to persistent gun violence.”
I’ll translate. “Would be the foundation of finding a solution to make all gun owners criminals”.

CNN must be another one of those alt-right MSM outlets I keep hearing about.
I don’t know how you can pay attention to stuff like this and not come out of this presidency totally redpilled. I’m not saying people should see stuff like this and immediately become Trump supporters, but a reasonable, rational person can’t see this kind of shit and honestly continue to support the social justice Progressives.
Enh, selection bias. Twitter is a cess-pool of damaged brains, you know.
True, and the amount of thought that goes into reading tweets probably doesn’t lend itself to reflection, but I’d like to think that at least a few people who see the replies might reconsider their position.
“Moderate,” lol. I don’t know the others, but Spanberger (basic you-know-what-number-two, also my congresscritter gods help us) is total deep state proggie. Former CIA, for reals, and not an ounce of shame about it.
Shame? It was the fundamental basis for her campaign! Every ad emphasized her CIA experience.

OFFS!
Hey Mark, The Last Jedi sucked ass and you are a hasbeen actor who landed one lucky role. You can go Force yourself too!
/I really don’t care if he wants to cast barbs at the Trump family but FFS leave the fucking kids alone.
No love for Corvette Summer?
?
Whatever Mark. Your life is empty.
True story- other than the original Star Wars which I saw as a child, Ive never seen any of the others
2 and 3 – sorry, V and VI – are worth it. I’ve only seen bits and pieces of I and maybe II and they were garbage. No idea about the rest.
The latest installments are grade A derivative garbage. You are much better off not subjecting yourself to them
Empire Strikes Back remains my favorite. The first three, which is to say I, II, and III (damn Lucas and his pretentious bullshit) were alright, but I’ve never felt the need to watch them again. I saw The Force Awakens and thought it was too busy and not very good. Haven’t bothered with the rest.
The original was good DESPITE Hamill’s acting. He was a whiny douche all through the movie. It was still great though.
That was the role.
I’m just here to hate on him for being a twat, not to be fair.
Maybe the naivete and hesitancy were the role, but he wasn’t a great actor. Honestly only James Earl Jones and Harrison Ford were particularly good. Carrie Fisher and Hamill were weak, and Sir Alec was not up to his usual standard.
Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin was excellent
Fair enough.
I… agree.
I thought he did a fine job.
Yeah, he was supposed to be a little bitch. It’s supposed to be in part a bildungsroman about Luke becoming a Jedi master.
Star Wars Trilogy
Easy, Hamill. I’ve stuck up for you because of your fine voice work as the Joker, but in the cold light of day you’re a B-list who happened to be in the right place at the right time way back when. You were the lead in a movie until Harrison Ford showed up, bro. You need all the fans you can get.
What a fucking asshole, I’m sure he’ll keep that blue checkmark though.
Blue Checkmark = Black Triangle.
You can’t be a blue-check-marked asshole?
From what I’ve seen, that’s the only kind.
I understand why people like me hate the left. They are always up in our shit trying to exert power over us. We don’t seek them out, they seek us out. They cant not fuck with people.
What I don’t get is behavior like this. The Trumps haven’t done anything to Hamill or anyone he knows. There is this white hot burning hatred out there for the guy and his family that comes from…..where? From what? What has Ivanka Trump done to anyone?
The hatred is completely irrational.
It’s probably not genuine hatred. It’s about signaling that you have the ‘correct’ opinions by hating the correct people. It’s despicable mostly because it’s so lickspittle.
Not interested in politics? Well, politics is interested in you.
hahahahahahaha

A reactionary Martian.
Could be a smart play. Take some of the wind out of the greenies sail by supporting nuclear/fracking, sustainable timber and clean up efforts.

That’s a platform I’d be happy to support!
I would consider relocating to support her campaign.
I hope you like zucchini.
I like fried zucchini. Thank’s for asking.
Zucchini is nasty.
I think I saw that on Pr0nHub already.

I make zucchini noodles with meatballs…

Way easier than spaghetti squash.
The shop was broken into last night. Window smashed, yet nothing stolen. No computers, no cameras, power tools, money, art, nothing.
First thing that tipped me off as I walked in: A love note written in push pins, [redacted] (heart) [redacted], with the penmanship/pinmanship of a slow middle schooler. Don’t these kids watch TV? If you are attempting a life of crime, don’t sign your work unless you are the Joker or ISIS.
Kids today.
Maybe they were trying to frame someone else.
I thought about that. I’ve been working all the scenarios.
The kicker was the toilet filled with toiletries (bottle of mouthwash, hand soap pump, etc.). High teenagers playing bathroom basketball framing their younger siblings for the stupid?
That sucks. I’m sorry your week started that way. I hope insurance will cover the damage?
If it is just a smashed window probably better to pay for it out of pocket.
What we will be doing.
I am so sorry this happened to you.
It isn’t fucking cancer. It was an appointment with a dustpan and a garbage bag
And with that line, you, sir, are my hero.
Oh shit, you’re serious, I thought you were mocking the staged hate crime things. Pardon my snark.
In the 90s, I had a few friends who would routinely break into houses (mostly just looking for unlocked doors or windows rather than actually breaking anything) just to walk around. Sometimes they’d take stuff, but mostly they were doing it for the thrill, I guess. I was a delinquent, but that was one of the places I drew the line. It was a combination of having too strong a sense of shame to do something like that and having a very accurate conception of what my father would do to me when he found out. Even then I hated the idea of a scene, and I really valued being able to walk and have all of my teeth, so I never joined in.
It’s too easy to get shot doing stuff like that.
No shit. Especially around here.
15 yo or so, We never broke into anyone’s residence. We snuck in (no breaking or damaging) some public facilities, a government shooting range and the national guard armory. But we never took anything. I drew the line at stealing and after those hijinks decided that wasn’t a road I wanted to go down any more. I think the event that woke me up was the national guard armory. There were four tanks in the yard and my buddy wanted to steal one of the M-60’s off of one. “Aaaahhhhhhh, no. I think we better get the fuck out of here.”
Nothing stolen? That is a good sign. Some kid screwing around.
Maybe they stole some 5-gal buckets to jumpstart their busking careers as street percussionists. Who knows, I can’t tell. Look at me, I am an involuntary patron of the arts
I assume it was two young lovers and they banged. You better get rid of any surveillance footage before the police jack you up on kiddie porn.
No kidding. We haven’t put up cameras yet— for that exact reason. I joked today that [redacted] knocked up [redacted] and framed himself because he’d rather go to jail than deal with fatherhood
