Day 99


Internet's down - a big thunderstorm came rumbling through around 4:30 p.m. and although it surprisingly didn't take out the power (the lights did flicker, though), both the internet and cable are down.  Comcast/Xfinity are aware of the problem and connectivity should be returned by . . . sometime.  Posting now with a cell-phone hot-spot hook-up.

Fortunately, even though the coronavirus is continuing to rise in Georgia, I had a bunch of pictures queued up to post anyway of that ass-clown couple pointing guns at protesters in front of their home in St. Louis.  The protesters were marching toward the mayor's home to rally against the mayor, who had posted the names and addresses of the people who called for defunding of the police, and the couple stated that they thought the crowd was coming or them (raising the question of what they'd done to arouse that fear), although surely they were aware that the mayor lived just a few homes down the street.

I have zip sympathy for these two.  If they were nearly as scared as they claimed to be, they would have been inside their home, either peeking out the windows or heading toward their panic room. Instead, they ran outside barefoot, pointing their weapons at the protesters and claiming their stand-your-ground rights.  If your safety is assured by an assault rifle, the phallic substitute for white males of a certain age, why then were they so scared?  Another theory posits that they were just assholes.  

Our so-called "president," never missing a chance to make a bad situation worse, re-tweeted a video of these two in a blatant dog-whistle signal to his followers that it's okay to use violence against protesters who aren't part of his maggot cult.
