    they literally barricaded and fell back as far as they could.

    watch the footage, so many times, cops put their hands on their sidearms, then fall back.

    compare that to footage of occupy, of the atlanta cop city protests, any violent reactions on campuses etc., - is there a qualitative difference in them? maybe? but not enough to explain the disparity in violent, over-reaction.

    imagine the bloodbath that would have occurred if the crowds had been black / latino etc. or fuck, even college kids…

    somehow only one of them got shot… SOMEHOW.

    you know that’s a funny word when you look at it - some… how?

    like some, a quantity… how, a state or condition… doing a heavy lift that.

    it just doesn’t seem to encompass the obvious and outright institutionalized racism displayed that day. angry white people smeared shit inside the capitol and only a single one was shot, and that was it.

    oh 4 years later we’re finally getting around to sentencing some of the shit-smear crowd. they should have been rounded up that evening and lived the rest of their lives breaking rocks in leavenworth federal pen on whatever hard labor the government could devise.


  • leave with no alternative in sight.

    ?? spacex is gonna get them home, this is hyperbole.

    now, if they, like me, despise musk, that part might sting, but I strongly doubt these professionals are overly concerned with that end. I’d prefer my managers ERRING ON THE SIDE OF SURVIVAL, and considering the noises the craft suddenly started making, yeah, prudent decision after all.

    Boeing doesn’t like it, but… tsk, thrusters aren’t new technology, this shit shouldn’t have been a problem in the first place, and certainly never made it to ORBIT without being 99.999% reliable. Boeing fucked up. Boeing’s thruster contractor - Rocketdyne - has been in the business since the 50s. This should be locked down, proven tech. Yet somehow startup spacex that doesn’t have 50+ years in space is whipping the shit out of Boeing + Rocketdyne, EVEN THOUGH BOEING WAS PAID MORE THAN SPACEX, only for it to end in this shit show.

    NASA errs on the side of caution and it’s the right decision.
