Soi dog feeding time, opposite Central Festival Mall in Pattaya

This "girl" has a little something. She comes from Cambodia and can't read Thai. Photo taken on Soi Buakhao last night. I had her pegged immediately but my friend didn't.

The prosecutor alleged it under oath in the court. Taht's good enough for me. Binger repeatedly showed the jury drone video that he said depicted Rittenhouse pointing the AR-style weapon at demonstrators. “This is the provocation. This is what starts this incident,” the prosecutor declared. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/watch-kyle-rittenhouse-trial-over-kenosha-shooting-continues-day-10

In what way did it materially affect the point I made?

Adams, who is white, repeatedly referred to people who are black as members of a "hate group" or a "racist hate group" and said he would no longer "help black Americans." Christopher Kelly, vice president of content for NJ Advance Media, wrote that the news organisation believes in "the free and fair exchange of ideas". "But when those ideas cross into hate speech, a line must be drawn," Mr Kelly wrote. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-02-27/dilbert-comic-dropped-following-race-comments-from-creator/102025748

Or perhaps try not to nit pick and be so pedantic on an obvious error of detail when it's immaterial to the point.

Long story short, in no way shape, size or form, is an unauthorized person permitted to point a gun at someone other than in self-defense. Yes, that even means in the act of attempting to prevent a crime (where the safety of others or yourself isn't threatened). https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/is-vigilantism-legal-in-the-united-states Kyle Rittenhouse provoked bloodshed on the streets of Kenosha by bringing a semi-automatic rifle to a protest and menacing others source: AP news

Are you in favour of people disregarding the law and engaging in vigilantism? I hope he's successfully sued.

It's not his first rodeo. He amplifies the racism which creates the rift between blacks and whites.

What proportion compared to black slaves? And were whites then subjected to a century of racist discrimination?

Ok, I stand corrected. Shot and paralyzed. It makes NO difference regarding the reasons for the protests or why Rittenhouse decided to intervene.

Yes, vile, right?

I haven't seen where he mentioned entrenched white privilege.

The "other challenges" are also because of racism. Lack of equal opportunity. Endemic poverty and socioeconomic inequality. There simply hasn't been enough time or effort since 1964 to correct these imbalances.

It's either an imbalance of opportunity or racism, there aren't any other possibilities I can think of.

A few years ago, just before covid I read that most BKK condos were sold for cash.

What people believe, understand or even know about has nothing to do with the truth of a claim.

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is slated to open this week in Maryland with Donald Trump, his son Don Trump Jr. and other allies of the former president being handed key speaking spots as attention turns to who will get the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. One person who won't be there making their case before the assembled conservative activists is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) who is ducking out on attending due to having other plans. According to former GOP campaign consultant Rick Wilson, DeSantis' non-appearance at such a important stop for GOP hopefuls is a tip-off that he is not ready for prime time and, as he said on MSNBC on Sunday morning, he appears to be "running away like a scalded dog." https://www.rawstory.com/ron-desantis-2024-2659469816/

Tarrio is not a leader of the proud boys?

Was he also setup a week later when he was met at Miami airport by the leader of the Proud Boys and had lunch with them? Set up by a photographer is a pathetic excuse. He's in a group photo with proud boys all flashing the secret racist hand signal. Apparently it was only a secret to Rittenhouse. He was complaining about being caught in the act.

He wasn't racist but he associated with racists and participated in a group racist hand sign.

Yeah, nah you're the only smart guy here.

The protesters weren't only black or white. Rittenhouse' motive was racist. He went there to confront BLM arsonists.

Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, was left partly paralyzed after a white police officer shot him seven times in the back outside an apartment complex in Kenosha, Wis., on Aug. 23, 2020. The shooting, which happened in front of three of Mr. Blake’s children, was captured by a neighbor in a video that circulated widely and rapidly on social media. Outrage spread quickly, rekindling the nationwide protests for racial justice that had followed the deaths of George Floyd, Elijah McClain, Breonna Taylor and other Black Americans after encounters with the police. https://www.nytimes.com/article/jacob-blake-shooting-kenosha.html
