It's fairly common for school girls to have copycat sicknesses in schools, leading to panicked environmental testing for mystery toxins and lots of attention to the "victims". Shrinks call this "hysteria".
Sometimes it's a real problem like formaldehyde from building materials. But often it is essentially witchcraft. Not the Wiccan kind, but What passed for and was blamed on Witches in history.
Copycat hysterical attention seeking is the current way to put it. Happens in adults too, often women in big business buildings. Again, sometimes it's real problems with HVAC systems, mold, chemicals, etc. Sometimes there is no scientific explanation.
So elementary school mass weird is not new.
I'm skeptical, sarcastic, and impious, where shrinks are involved. "Hysteria" especially related to girls, has been a catch all box to throw stuff shrinks don't understand into for centuries.
Not that the art of psychiatry is all bogus witchcraft. Not at all. ( some is )
I highly recommend The Road To Wellville, a great movie & book about nutrition, treatment, corn flakes, and health.
And remind you the vibrator was invented by a doctor who got tired arms treating women for hysteria by inducing orgasms.
One of the best therapies ever developed by medical science.
Sad that this Fourbucks thing is getting blown up beyond reality. Now the two black guys are claiming they "feared for their lives". They don't look too fearful in the video. Honestly, all they had to do was wait outside. Or order the cheapest thing on the menu.
And from the article... "Seattle-based Starbucks Corp. has said the location where the arrests occurred has a policy that restrooms are for paying customers only." In short, it wasn't about race at all. They were simply enforcing a store policy. Let's milk it for all it's worth though...
Does Starbucks pay enough to put up with being sent to reeducation camp?
I admit to not liking the company or it's product. I like coffee and dislike fake hipster atmosphere.
Oh, I wouldn't mind the pretentiousness if the coffee wasn't burnt. ( & I hadn't ever been to a real coffee shop )
Give me Dunkin Donuts any day. Especially on a cold ride home at night, when wrapping icy hands around a heavy ceramic mug of hot, drinkable, coffee, while contemplating the array of sugar bombs under glass.
This race card crap is so tiresome. Raises the "noise floor" for others that have been actually targeted by racism. The peaks are still there, just harder to detect due to clowns playing this game.
I don't understand why clowns don't just buy a coffee and drink it for three hours. Same as the people that rage out for places that don't break your $20 bill. Just buy a breath mint or candy bar clownshoes!
People don't like to think at all. They react They feel
Here's a new video (new to me at least) from the Las Vegas shooting. Skip to about the 4:00 mark as listen to the gun fire. You clearly hear 2 VERY different shooters overlapping. This certainly isn't the single shooter, shooting from the other window of the hotel, or shooting in a different direction. I don't know what the real story is, but I sure don't believe what we have been told to believe.
Most of the time it sounds like the second sound is bullets hitting. It sounds close. The rifle sounds correct from that distance. The second sound comes in at what it would take to reach the bleachers. Doesn't sound like a second gun but there are a couple of times you hear the second sound without hearing the first. Hope they can figure it out!
You can hear the echos. This is not echos. It's a second gun, over the top of the first gun, with echos. Fist gun is shooting, while the second starts shooting. The second guns stops shooting, while the first continues. Check it out when you have the chance.
BTW, I got this from a Viet Nam vet. He said he was convinced, as long as the video is legit.
Sounds like bullet impacts on bleachers, metallic, then reports, muzzle blast.
The bullets are supersonic at the ranges involved, so you would hear impacts, then gun shots.
Not saying there was no second shooter. Can't tell from what I've heard. Forensic acoustics has to be done to tell for sure, as the setting is perfect for echo sounding like second shooter, depending on which window he is shooting from.
Unfortunately, after contradicting reports and apparent outright lies from Law enforcement, conspiracy theories will be made up.
Motive & evidence missing? The conspiracy theories might be simpler than the truth.
I see no reason not to think this a possible false flag operation by anti rights rogues in the government, OR Islamist terrorism.
ISIS did take credit.
And while ISIS deserves to be eradicated, they are more believable than Hamas/PLA, or the former heads of the FBI & CIA. Than any Clinton and Obama appointee, in fact.
Look up Japanese balloon bombs. Total news blackout on those, until long after the war. People could die next week from one.
I haven't seen any forensics. But I have doubts about bump stocks. Home full auto conversion?
The sounds are different. Lots of unanswered questions.
Attack on probable Trump fans, instant lies from anti civil rights movement, contradictory law enforcement announcements, no known motive for attacking specific group, denied political connections.....
It does not sound like a full auto conversion. We've talked about this before. Most people's (who are smart on full auto systems) first thought was belt fed because the rate of fire was slower than a full-auto seer/trigger mech. Also, if you listen, the rate of fire is inconsistent as if it sometimes skips or lags.
After doing some research on bump stocks, how they work, and their rates of fire, I'm 99% convinced that the weapons fired in the videos are using bump stocks.
And yes, conspiracy theories abound. Thats what happens. Get caught lying often enough, and people who are awake will stop believing anything you say. Even if it is true.
It's a warning to all to both pay attention to warnings, and to not tolerate attention seekers. It's a balance.
After the first few false prophesies, people should have started prosecuting Climate Con promoters and firing dishonest scientists.
But this Con isn't just an exploit of the gullible. It's a well funded attack on Western Civilization and Industry by the Soviets, that is ongoing under Czar Putin.
Notice the fracking bribery lack of scandal?
It's not a crazy conspiracy theory if it's true. Still sounds like one.
Arms dealer for the Saudis upstairs makes the most sense. He didn't need 20-some-odd rifles. And the official story is obviously covering-up something.
From the above report "After the breach, the first officer on the scene, Hancock, fires what police described as a "negligent three-round burst" from his rifle - which can be heard on the body cam footage. "
Freaking rookie. I hope he, at a minimum, got retrained on operating his primary weapon. That's like a surgeon negligently cutting three of your arteries. oops, my bad, sorry 'bout that.
People who were best never born. Or, the best argument for abortion in history.
As Bernie, avowed Socialist, has three far more expensive homes ( mansions ) than most people on Earth, I am reminded of other socialists who filled their palaces with the stolen art of Europe. Like fat Hermann. His political wants parallel the Germany of the 1930-45 as well. ( not sure about Bernie's plans for a Final Solution. But I know he has one )
Since Wikipedia states Bernie last has an actual job as a carpenter, ( how ironic, like another Jewish revolutionary, ) which he failed at, Millionaire Bernie has to have become wealthy by theft from the proletariat, aka, he stole his wealth from us. ( unless the Soviets paid Vermont commies WAY better than you'd expect. )
Comparing Bernie to the greatest mass murderers in history is a bit unfair to the murderers.
Bump stock? Ok, I'll bow to your more extensive research on the subject.
Saudi arms deal? ISIS? Fast & Furious redux?
At this point you can say Reichstag Fire, and I've seen no evidence it's not.
Films give us the occasional patriotic moment that has staying power.
Patton's speech in his titular movie. The napalm in the morning scene from Apocalypse Now. Congress in Mars Attacks.
One of the best is Bill Murray and his wretched refuse pep talk in Stripes. We are the folk kicked out of every decent country in the world. Proud of it.
It shows. Talk to a Russian cab driver, or Jamaican, or.... Your next Uber ride. We are a nation of refugees from oppression from the landing at Plymouth Rock.
What a different world it would be if an American had pointed out to a drunk Karl Marx, that we tried commune living and everyone starved? That the answer to the Aristocracy was to leave it to rot. That a land without frontiers stews in it's own juices, and that one with room to grow, pulled the crazy to the edges, where they, and the mundane crowd left behind, were happier for it.??????
An existential threat to our Republic is what I would call the Obama regime. And I have examples.
Fundamentally Transform. Barry's stated goal, and the definition of existential threat.
Pen & a Phone, vs. Representative Republic & the rule of law by the representatives of the People. Pretty darn existential.
Btw, catering to the whims of the Chief Executive is not Congresses Job. True under Barry the Weasel, equally true under Donald the Twitter.
That the "blame" for this lack of sycophantic adoration falls on the Republicans in Congress under Both administrations is perhaps not a surprise. They represent neither person.
Unfortunately most of Congress doesn't represent their citizens, but instead the rich who bribe them. There's a reason Mars Attacks is loved.
Donald's existential threat is to the swamp, the Deep State, the authoritarian bureaucracy. That's fine. It's why he got hired.
