Overnight Open Thread (19 Aug 2017)

I'd be fine with this but not for the reasons they are calling for. Do it! NAACP calling for boycott of NFL, Atlanta Falcons. In fact, just boycott all sports, movies, entertainment. Knock yourselves out.

USS Indianapolis

Looks like they found the USS Indianapolis.

Google

ProPublica, working with Google to 'document hate,' threatens conservative bloggers. Good luck with that. Eventually, they'll piss off enough people that they'll start losing business. See ESPN and the NFL. I know I go out of my way to use alternative sites, services.

European Terror

Why terrorists are so focused on attacking Europe. Well, first off, Europe has made it very easy to get there. Second, even if you are on a watch list, you can still execute your attack successfully before they finally do something. Third, even if you are arrested for a crime say like raping a woman for hours and livestreaming it, you get a slap on the wrist and are released.

Wut?

I can safely say this has never happened to me. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that 41% of men flying on Virgin Atlantic are direct descendants of Pajama Boy. 41% of men admit to crying during in-flight movies. OK, I'll allow that maybe 3% of these men were not crying due to the movie, but due to some methane emissions from another passenger.

Outdoor Fun

Too bad this is in Korea. My kids would love to do this. Roller coaster zipline propels riders through the air dipping and twisting at high speeds.

Marines Getting New Rifle

Marine infantrymen are getting the Heckler & Koch M27 rifle. Nice.

Charlottesville Mayor

What a damn idiot. Not only did he seriously hinder law enforcements ability to control and tamp down the unruly crowds, he now thinks that in order to prevent someone from being hit with a car like last weekend requires more limits on concealed carry and open carry. OK then.
