    this is one of the most extraordinary statements about this whole thing. the SS sharpshooters were themselves on a sloped roof, and it's not particularly sloped.

    And if local police were in the building, and guarding the building perimeter, how did Crooks get past them, even moreso, when he was carrying a gun bag? it bogles the mind.

    I'm am a General Manager for a company that does corporate dining.

    I worked my way from the dish room to the fryer to prep cook to sous chef to chef de cuisine to Executive chef to Supervisor to Director to GM.

    I'm super proud to have achieved what I have coming from a family in which my mom was a school bus driver and dad worked as a construction laborer.

    My grandfather was kicked out of the Free Masons for paying blacks the same as the whites.

    Your blind hate is laughable and that is the only reason I am playing your game.

    It's like I'm a cat toying with a wounded mouse.

    Do you own a house?
    Do you own a car?
    Do you still live with your parents?

    I suspect whatever shortcomings you have are all the fault of others.

    You spend a lot of time on the computer. Do you have a job?

    BTW I'm on vacation before you say the same to me.
    I will be headed to Ireland in a few days.
    Sorry for using jet fuel, eating beef and not getting your permission first.

    Congratulations on your success, @Kemahkeith. You are living the American dream, and I applaud you.

    You are also giving others the same opportunity to earn a living and work their way up you successfully took.

    Don't let envious haters drag you down.

    Your grandfather employed people. So yes you come from privilege.



    You are voting for politicians who blame blame black women being hired as pilots because of "DEI" when a corporation like Boeing is in a scandal because they hollowed out there leadership positions from engineers to MBAs.


    Whatever your grandfather did to help Black folks is irrelevant to you voting for politicians who use poor black folks as scapegoats for why the country is failing.

    I come from privilege btw. I'm not a narcissist. My parents were wealthy immigrants from the country they came from. They were in the top .1% of wealth in the country they came from and got access to the best private schools and tutors where they could immigrate to the US through student visa programs because American universities wanted them and that was because my parents had privilege unlike 99% of the other people from the country they came from.


    Do you have the self awareness and humility to acknowledge your privilege?

    I don't own Boeing.
    Do you make a point to fly on non Boeing planes?

    And my grandfather owned a hay bailing service.
    That some silver spoon stuff right there.

    Yes your grandfather owned property. That is privlige. The fact that you think property ownership is so uniqutous and easy to come by says a lot about your privlige.

    And no you don't own Boeing. You support politicians who meme about black female pilots for the reason why the company is failing. You vote for politicians who blame migrant farm hand pickers as invaders for our country's problems along with urban poor minorities, Muslim immigrants etc.

    The GOP is the party of scapegoating groups of humans that don't have the political or wealth clout to fight back.

    Arguing with you is akin to arguing with my Daschund. Except he has a personality and is far more intelligent than you.

    Answer my questions
    Home owner?
    Car owner?
    Have a job.

    My grandfather didn't own the land he cleared and bailed for those who owned the property

    Your grandfather owned capital. Your parents owned capital. You r parents were probably home owners.


    Just for reference:

    This is almost entirely a result of property ownership rates between races.

    Just to give you a soft landing to show you how a human acknowledges their privlige and not be a narcissist:

    My career is mechanical engineering. My parents come from wealth immigrant families where they were the top .1% of wealth from the country they hailed from meaning they got access to the best private schools and tutors from that country that later got them student visas to the S because Americans universities sponsored them. My mom has a general math major who later became a stay at home mother and my father a chemical engineer.


    I wouldn't have the background to do well in engineering undergrad without that background and privlige. The privileges I had allowed me to have this career.

    And you point is?

    Do you own a home
    Do you own a car
    Do you fly Boeing
    Do you have a job.

    Stop avoiding the questions

    My point is I don't respect you because you support politicians who make the day to day safety of people like my family harder.

    You support a political party who's go to tactic is to scapegoat groups of humans that don't have the wealth or political clout to push back in any meaningful way to make sure the working class white voter who never interacted with these groups has something to be outraged about rather than corporate executives.

    You had many more opportunities being surrounded by wealth than I ever had.
    My family could not afford college for me.
    That's why I joined the Air Force and got my education from the gi bill.

    For one I don't know how this became a dick swinging contest.

    My original claim?

    I don't respect you because you support and defend a political party that uses people I care about as scapegoats for why the country has issues. It's very simple.


    Somehow you got front hat me saying that I'm a higher value human than you?
    Your net worth is higher than mine? Okay. I guess I gotta do better?

    I don't know how that's relevant to the discussion at hand?

    You got to cut him some slack. With this guy, it sounds like PTSD from his years in the military.

    On the rooftop in a prone position with rifle aiming towards the most important person at that place is legal?

    is it, in Butler, PA? in any event, anyone with a rifle that close to a Presidential campaign event should be stopped and questions.

    and if you're an officer guarding a building that provides a clear shot at the speaker, you do not wave the guy through and say "go right on up..."
