Also, the absurdity of what happened here with Tony Timpa --> WHO SELF REPORTED TO THE POLICE --> That he was off his meds and that he had taken illegal drugs, and then dies by psychopathic Police.


Killing of Tony Timpa

The son was "awarded" $1 million but the City of Dallas never paid anything to them (kind of like OJ?) and two of the shit-stain Policemen declared in defense (as a lack of accountability) that they fall under Qualified Immunity.

The judgment was pushed to $2.5 million.

Many examples of Police or similar agencies acting like douchebags, even if they are offduty.

The prison system is used in agriculture with scenes described straight out of plantations (lack of water which causes incapacitation, beating prisoners who protest the conditions getting handcuffed and then beaten some more, people arrested and threatened with death row who claim they only admitted guilt for a crime on account of mistreatment with no evidence they did it, because they were innocent, etc.)

Because upvoting limits the text to blurbs, I'm posting here:

A 50 year duo and yet I'm amazed they haven't seemed to perform near Ft Worth Texas (Stock Yards) because many of the scenes could just as well come from that area (though Brazilian/Portuguese and not Mexican/Spanish; they also seem to be active in Florida some, which seems a bit different from the video depiction.) I would never go to a concert but I find the similarities interesting (though not surprising since the earliest cattle rustling traditions were people from Mexico, and minotorities like originate from slaves (which would eventually be taken over by more of the white "cowboy" traditions where criminality became common since most livestock was not kept behind fences and would roam freely, they would often not brand the cattle, and it became a bit like a cartel of illegality,) but also they were traditions that still exist but often become re-written by more contemporary culture such as in western films. The Gaucho of Argentina also comes to mind, but also I'm reminded of when growing up that hispanics tend to be the ones more dressed up in "western" clothing moreso than (non-hispanic) white dudes (though this might just be my perception, since I do recall seeing people resembling more of the white hick stereotype whenever NASCAR was coming to town; they might have just been visiting outside of areas like Ft Worth where many people from the more rural areas tend to visit from out of town, where the history of the cattle trade still persists.)

It could also be that the duo ( https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chit%C3%A ... oror%C3%B3 ) are targeting a more affluent demographic for the region of Brazil, where expendable income from the trade is more aligned with their music performances.


To give some idea of what I'm talking about (and I'm probably going to go over this more since it's also still obscure to me.)


Some of the video is contradicting history (they frame Jim Courtright as a "good guy" of Ft Worth when he was just as bad, if not worse than many of the "bad guys.")



I'm just going to post random videos

The amount of grift from Clarence Thomas alone dwarfs every other Supreme Court Justice by magnitudes.

The dangers of the Cyber Truck have their precedence in legislative loopholes that provide for "Light Trucks" (vehicles that often way twice what a regular car weighs) and things like Recreation Vehicles.




Most truck drivers are entitled narcissists with Boomer mentalities.

This game only exists for the 3DO and 4DO emulator only works with Bin cue or Disc Image, and only recognizes Xbox controllers. I was able to create a batch convert file to redirect CHD to bin, from what wouldn't run on a TV box emulator (underperforms and overheats.) Even the, this game is better just to watch since it kind of has a slight learning curve with game features (starting out you couldn't beat this game in 5 hours.)


Another exclusive (of many. . . Perhaps for a reason, though this was pretty cool and still is.)


Recently translated from Korean and something I noticed previously (though the graphics resemble SNES. . .


Another translation




A CD-I exclusive. . .



Also, if you ever wondered about all that spamtastic AI generated bullshit showing up on the internet, it comes from AI generators for social media content.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Heemeyer

"Can't do that in a small town." . . . Maybe this was the response.




He was a psychopath merely got hot and sweaty over controlling people. The people that knew him thought he was a psychopath, and if it was simply to get sewage pipes installed, he had people near the property that had sewage lines he could have tied into but was reluctant. People were attempting to intercede but he seemed to get high off having something to wave over people's heads (and he still would have made off with more money than he invested into it had he simply walked away.)
