My old ass is all good.
I rarely am out on E 6th let alone at that hour these days.

My band mates go to bar is like a block away from there and they’ve got friends in from out of town. Happy they chose the stay home option last night instead of the usual.

Sad to say it but this sh!t has gone on for decades in many major cities

It was under control for a good while (relatively speaking) but the recent year or so has seen a explosion of crime in these areas

more men with bitch tits as the common denominator

but we as a nation are worried about being sensitive to men with bitch tits

no need to solve the problem because it's more important to protect feelings than focus on data

Well one of them was anyways. In other news Austin American Statesman is refusing to report the remaining suspects description, which is a weird way to tell us the suspect is black without actually telling us he’s black.

Speaking of the Statesman check this creepy ass dude out. He sat in with my band a couple times on guitar and played in the band that always went on after us for the late set. Ultimate creeper. I didn’t have enough personal interaction with him to get any creeper vibes though.

Can't open or conceal carry in a bar or any establishment that derives more than 51% of their rev from alcohol sales in Texas. This law doesn't change that.

Initially the Statesman wouldn't post the description while the police were still looking for the suspect. The article stated due to the sensitive nature of the stereotype, or some jazz like that, that they wouldn't be listing the description. They've since caught the 17 year old and are looking for the second guy.

So long as you're not drinking :idk:

This law just removes the conceal carry permit requirement, but the laws of where carrying is legal remain the same.

It's called the Gated Institutional Narrative (GIN) which is a phenomena whereby media outlets either omit key elements of a story that would run counter-narrative to the consumer market niche that drives their business model, or they just simply don't report on the story at all but cause it's too counter-narrative to their consumer echo chamber. The most obvious and easy example of this would be Fox and MSNBC who report in very carefully gated manner to their polar opposite viewership. You can see the same exact story reported given completely different narratives as you toggle back and forth between those channels.

The result is an example like this one and we could find a similar example on the other side of the divide. However, the majority of news media outlets have a left/liberal (liberal now being a misnomer in most cases) bias these days.

Another prime example of this would be the anti-Asian hate crimes and violent attacks in New York City. If the perpetrator is not white, which has been the case in the majority of incidents, news outlets are very careful to avoid reporting the race of the asshole. Where incidents were perpetrated by whites the race is described either in the title or within the first 2-3 sentences.

Why is the race of the asshole so important?

It’s a data point and should just be part of straight forward reporting. So I agree with you that it’s not important per se.

What makes it important is an apparent contrast on when it’s actually reported.

OK so why is the race of the asshole so important? You can't just say it's not important but it's important :idk:
