That overpass is pretty high. 10 minutes ago, 3adays said: It burned for a long time. Took AFD forever to get there. AFD had to wait for APD to clear them to enter ... i.e. wait til it was deemed safe enough.

The threat of ruining their cell phone will be enough to send many home. Cell phones have ruined the fun of spontaneous water ballon fights or shoving somebody in a pool.
May 31, 20205 yr Austin PD Chief just said all APD officers have been summoned, and will be working 12-hour shifts.

Sometime I get confused as to what is frowned upon or actively encouraged. Rule #2 of surly. Boner jokes are not only tolerated in every thread, but encouraged. You can't hold the whole site responsible for the behavior of a few, sick perverted individuals like myself. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole thread? And if the whole thread is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of all of Surly? I put it to you, WulawHorn, isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do what you you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America
May 31, 20205 yr HAHAH, KVUE's camera was focused on a column that said "FUCK APD" Meanwhile, Dallas PD is just randomly pot-shotting folks with rubber bullets. Great way to get the people behind you.

Then squeeze them to find out who they are coordinating with and apply RICO to those people as well. Who taught you how RICO works? I picture you like George Bluth, "I have the worst fucking lawyers." Anyway, 2L aside...I've been disappointed in the signage brought to the protests by most of these folks. Nothing clever, nothing impactful, nothing pithy. Cut right to the heart of the police souls. It doesn't roll off the tongue, but then you just need to read it, not hear it: "MPD: Your Children Are Being Raised by Cowards." Edited May 31, 20205 yr by Lobo
May 31, 20205 yr You can tell it's Austin: People are mostly leaving the homeless folks' tens alone. Then again, wouldn't want to go anywhere near those things. And people are riding scooters around. The KVUE reporter is cute behind her mask and helmet. Edit: And people are doing fucking selfies in front of the graffiti. Edited May 31, 20205 yr by atomheartbevo

I think most of the riots are from unemployment,unrest of being at home, Anita and other Anarchy factions.. I tend to agree here in some part, the current situation has disproportionately affected minorites and the poor.

May 31, 20205 yr 6th street. KVUE has live feed of “Private Stock” boutique being looted. Had them breaking glass live on CBS via FB live feed

Appears he was a businessowner or something, trying to drive people away with his sword/machete. Didn’t work. It was a quick attack involving 6-10 people, hopefully the vid quality is good enough to get them all identified & arrested.
May 31, 20205 yr I am starting to get very pessimistic. How all these protests that have been relatively peaceful all day Countrywide, (with some exceptions), all managed to turn violent in the last 2-2.5 hours? yesterday eve in Austin was mild. It resulted in 2-3 hours after midnight of younger people being stupid, but they werent being progressively violent. now, we have idiots setting fires in multiple areas. This is starting to look more and more like there is overall outside purposeful planning in place countrywide. Edited May 31, 20205 yr by AUS-97HORN
