Man fired from job after dumb counter help almost kills his son by putting peanuts in. "But he didn't say the son had an allergy" is an excuse apparently for putting peanut butter in when asked not to. Merrill Lynch couldn't give the guy some time off to deal with his anger, cuz maybe he used the "n" word while his son's off in the hospital. Brilliant. Lots of people saying he should have made the shake himself."kid's got a food allergy, guess you won't be eating out the next 20 years, sux to be you but buckle up buttercup."
While the fact that a store worker may have inadvertently put the man’s son’s life in danger was probably inevitably going to lead to a shouting match at the store, peanut allergies *don’t* cause racism—and not every parent upset over a child’s medical status assaults people.

[...] Two food delivery runners working together were preparing to pick up an order near Financial Place and Ida B. Wells when Gregory Keller, 46, approached them around 12:35 a.m., according to police and prosecutors.
Keller began yelling obscenities and slurs at the alleged victims, who had never seen Keller before, Assistant State’s Attorney Loukas Kalliantasis said. The workers returned to their Ford Escape and drove away.
They then made a U-turn, and an argument broke out between them and Keller when they returned to Financial Place and Ida B. Wells, according to Kalliantasis. That’s when Keller, wearing a distinctive jacket, allegedly pulled out a gun and fired two shots toward the victims. Kalliantasis said the bullets did not strike the victims or their car.
Police searched the area for suspects and found Keller wearing a jacket like the one described by the victims on the LaSalle Blue Line platform, according to the allegations. He had a loaded handgun in his jacket pocket, Kalliantasis said [....]

It actually was quite lively in the warm weather because all those youngin inhabitants can't afford a summer rental out of town but want to get out of the little apartment and have some fun...

REALITY CHECK convo - enough with the nonsense, which has been expressed so often on the internet that, in Orwellian fashion, people start to question their common sense -
This is a go-to talking point for the abolitionists. They say it as if it’s axiomatic. I suspect that to the extent they’re aware of the vast body of research that undermines the claim, they have written it off as “copaganda.”
Why is the word abolitionists even allowed to be co-opted this way? It referred to the historical group advocating for elimination of slavery. Now we have to use it to refer to people who want Mad Max to be real?
I don't know a single cop who hasn't personally preventing a crime. I mean, one _could_ argue there's a more effective or cheaper way or better way to prevent crime, OK. But "we know police don't prevent crime" is just such a odd thing to confidently assert.
Besides ideological biases & repeating it over & over I think they're seeing it on the micro level & not the macro level
For example if a cop isn't sitting in a car in front of a locked bicycle that bike may be stolen
They don't see the theoretical bike thefts that didn't occur
— Spuds "Reprehensible Tweets" McKenzie (@AyeRishPirate) January 30, 2022
If some mope is sitting in jail he can't steal a bike. If he's wearing a monitored ankle monitor he may not steal a bike. If he's been arrested/jailed in the past for bike theft & he knows if he's arrested again he's going back to jail that bike theft may not occur.
— Spuds "Reprehensible Tweets" McKenzie (@AyeRishPirate) January 30, 2022
Police don't prevent crime, rich white people in wealthy enclaves do. Need proof? Go to where the rich white people live in your city, and see how much crime there is..
Plenty of cops have stopped crimes in progress and their presence makes the criminals think starting some crap probably isn't a good idea. Unfortunately, the bail reforms have emboldened them.
People will believe any fool thing if they really want to. “Vaccines cause autism.” “These magic beans cure diabetes.” “Kratom saves lives.” “Trump won.” “Climate change is a hoax.” Why do these absurdities persist? Follow the money.
Edit to add: Wondering whether abolish types think guys like this will just disappear once enforcement of laws stop? Or what? Send the social workers to talk to him about his power issues?
