Some guy pissed me off the other day and I didn't punch him. Clearly I should have won the Nobel Peace Prize for that.

When the final out is made in the World Series, all the talk will be about the winner and nobody is going to wonder what the Colorado Rockies think about it.

This post is about the Nobel Peace Prize.

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

The Criminalizing Homelessness Cycle

There's a blog post about this #PoliCartoon at www.patreon.com/posts/115113....

Doing cartoons like this takes a lot of time - and I can do it because of all the super cool people supporting the work at patreon.com/barry.

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels, arranged so that they can be read in a clockwise circle. Each panel shows the same character - a homeless man wearing jeans, a hoodie, and a knit cap. I'll call him "Knit."

TOP PANEL

Knit is lying on a park bench, looking like he just woke up, and with a confused expression on his face. A cop holding a billy club stands over him.

COP: Get up! Public sleeping is now a crime. You're going to jail.

An arrow leads from that panel to:

RIGHT HAND PANEL

Knit, looking confused and unhappy, is being kicked out of a building that has a sign over the door: "JAIL." Knit looks confused and unhappy. We don't see anything of the person kicking Knit out except for the shoe and leg that are doing the kicking.

KICKING GUY: You've served your time. Get out!

An arrow leads from that panel to:

BOTTOM PANEL

Knit, with a disappointed expression, is listening to a businessman-looking type wearing a necktie talk. The businessman has a stern expression.

BUSINESSMAN: You've been in jail! I'd never hire you, or rent to you.

An arrow leads from that panel to:

LEFT HAND PANEL

It's dark out; the only light is coming from a door which has been open a crack. Knit stands in front of the door. A sign above the door says "SHELTER." A woman inside is speaking to Knit through the crack.

WOMAN: Sorry, out of beds. Good luck.

An arrow leads from that panel back to the TOP PANEL.

It's out at the Dispatch:

DHS Says Videotaping ICE Agents Is Illegal. Federal Courts Disagree.

Filming law enforcement serves important goals central to a free republic.

This is the kind of free-thinking, hard-hitting journalism they're going to be getting at CBS soon.

Well, the guy is a Neo Nazi, so yeah, that’s actually what he thinks.

Various tweets from Jack Posibiec where he makes the open Neo nazi dog whistle “1488” reference. Because he’s a Neo Nazi.

I bought this pen in Paris during the Olympics last year. The person designing it either had no idea or knew precisely what they were doing.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.
