This. Always had dealers on the corner. They went after each other, but they didn't want beef with you. You could feasibly bring the cops down on them, and they don't want that.
Hell, of late, as the cops have been on strike since the BLM protests hurt their feelings, the neighborhood dealers are the reason the packages for my building don't disappear before I get home.
one of my students of Indian heritage had a pendant with a Swastika and it always made me nervous even though I'm "Hindu" because of the way it was misused.
a previous Golden Retriever had a deep growl which I called "the death growl" when playing with her littermate. She was a gentle creature so it was incongruous with her personality
Please notice how Canadian newsrooms deal with terrorist attacks and mass shooters.
Nawaz Tahir of London, Ontario was a prominent and respected lawyer in the community. He ran for public office. His wife was also a vocal advocate for human rights. He and his family were attacked in front of one of the oldest mosques in Canada.
It wasn't random. It was a message: to terrorize all and any who are standing up to this white supremacist tyranny, which Tahir was vocal about.
These terrorists won't win if we handle the narrative, and this is key.
The best part of this story? What we don't know.
Canadian newsrooms have a no 'celebrity/glorifying pay-off' policy for attention-seeking killers like this Veltman man, who was dressed in tactical gear all ready for his close-up. Not happening, lou-serrr.
It was the same for the incel who attacked women with a rented van, Alek Minassian. Their faces are deliberately blanked out of the press for days. This allows the the public stay focused on the victims and the horror these cowards have wrought.
Of course the press has Veltman's mug shot, but the press rarely uses them. Instead, they will find a picture of them smiling and normal, to neuter their 'bad-ass dangerous' persona. This creates the question in the public's mind: he lived in our society; what is wrong with him? Public shaming is powerful.
The police released a statement only saying it was 'hate' motivated. Veltman's pending 'terrorist' charges suggest the police have his personal details/mutterfesto, but it's deliberately withheld, in part, out of respect to the family.
No glory-shots or 'voice' for fame-thirsty terrorists, sorry eh?.
The focus must remain rightfully on the Tahir family, and their community, and on all our leader's strong and unequivocal condemnation.
I wish the US would do the same. No pics, no glory. Just silence, the courtroom, and then the sentencing. Flussssssh.
Of course these laws are addressing the real problem, if you think the real problem is non-white, non-male, non-christian, non-rich, non-straight, non-repugs daring to challenge the status quo.
We have laughed many times about the disparity between her terrifying "someone is close to the house" bark and how fast she would run away if someone actually broke in our house.
My WV grandparents are cheering from the grave. All my life I've waited to be ordered to cross a picket line so I can please them by profanely refusing.
Which, if the west coast was any indication, is grounds for opening fire.
They don't care about the blastocyst. They care about controlling the woman.

Yes, unfortunately , Canada also has nasty right wing QAnon believing Conservatives in our midst.
Self-defense.

MLK Jr said something to that effect, that when northerners are oppressing you, they are smiling and showing their pretty white teeth

Property over people. Punishment over justice. Jesus wept.

and override the people's votes, if they don't like them.
“Warrior met” coal company? You can bet the owner is some kind of ammosexual.
You forgot the clause that says, “and we’re a Christian nation, damnit!”
