look. words matter. opening fire typically implies lethal rounds and that the police are shooting to kill. and that is not what happened, nor is it what is happening. that is all. also, brick throwing… maybe we should talk about that when we speak about harmful projectiles. God bless you.

what are scare quotes?

well. it would be a different story if they “opened fire” with live ammo.

ok that sucks and also maybe not a good idea to get so close to the business end of a mounted horse

opened fire with what? be specific

I mean… read into it with your own filter:

“This poses a dire threat to the American people and our way of life. […] In short, Americans of all ages are becoming sicker, beset by illnesses that our medical system is not addressing effectively. These trends harm us, our economy, and our security.”

Unheard of. This is central Pacific Palisades. Sunset and Swarthmore.

yup… like when new MTV ownership entirely erased the web archives of 90s MTV

agreed

now here’s the question… WHO would and WHY would they attack Internet Archive data?

Misty morning, clouds in the sky
Without warning, a wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
Long grey cloak, tinkling bell

Never talking
Just keeps walking
Spreading his magic

Evil power disappears
Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy
