You will not pee standing up.

According to police, Bullie said the victim was "talking [expletive]" so he told him to leave the gas station.

Police said Bullie showed them "a cheese machine that [victim] broke" because he "was getting [too] much cheese from the nacho cheese machine."

Authorities said Bullie then told the victim to leave the store and not to break things. Although the victim did leave, he returned minutes later and insisted on getting nachos, according to police.

According to the arrest report, Bullie said, "Don't talk [expletive] to me. I'm tired of[expletive] over here talking[expletive] to me. Now everyone gonna see this and they're gonna know never to talk[expletive] to me."

Police said that when they questioned the man who called 911, he said he was pumping gas when he saw the victim covered in blood and a gas station employee standing outside. He allegedly told the gas station employee, later identified as Bullie, to call 911, who in response said, "I'm not going to call 911, he better have learned a lesson."

The arrest report said that Bullie told police he did not hit the victim hard, saying, "If it was hard, his head would've been on the[expletive] floor and he would've been dead."

>The victim suffered two brain bleeds, skull fractures, blood in the ears, air in the brain, and facial factures, according to police. They also reported Bullie's wrist was sprained from the beating.

Honestly even if it is true who cares if anyone is eating stray cats or dogs or geese. This is an ample resource for people who are struggling and maybe instead of judging you shouldn't let your pets wander.

!chuds thoughts?

A growing number of companies have been folding to right wing boycotts and ditching DEI programs, particularly those that support LGBTQ+ employees. But by appeasing a vocal fringe, those companies are poised to lose significant revenue from the communities they've abandoned, a new study suggests.

The data comes from the HRC Foundation's 2024 LGBTQ+ Climate Survey, conducted in partnership with LGBTQ+ research firm Community Marketing & Insights. Between August 8 and 18, nearly 2,500 LGBTQ+ adults completed the survey, and the results detail stark implications for corporations who have turned their back on DEI.

80% respondents said they would boycott a company that rolled back DEI programs, and over half would urge others to boycott, including making negative reviews and social media posts. Overall, 75% said they would look negatively on said companies.

For LGBTQ+ employees, 19% said they would quit or start looking for a new job in the event their company dropped DEI initiatives. 72% said they would feel less accepted at work and one-third said their productivity would suffer.

Recently, LGBTQ+ consumers have been estimated to command more than $1.4 trillion in spending power. That number seems only poised to grow in the future as younger generations continue to overwhelmingly identify with the LGBTQ+ community.

And LGBTQ+ consumers care about where they are spending their money, taking note of signals of support. 87% of survey respondents said that sponsoring a Pride event indicates support. 93% agreed that donating to LGBTQ+ causes earning a 100% score on the HRC's Consumer Equality Index, which rates corporations for LGBTQ+ inclusive policies, indicates some support. As part of cutting DEI programs, many corporations have opted out of the HRC's CEI.

Thus far, the corporations that have rolled back DEI programs include Molson--Coors, Harley Davidson, Lowe's, Ford, Tractor Supply and Jack Daniel's. The recent backlash has come at the behest of right wing provocateur Robby Starbuck, who targets companies with DEI programs and incites followers to boycott.

"The LGBTQ+ community is an economic powerhouse, and we want to work for and support companies who support us," Orlando Gonzales, HRC Senior Vice President, Programs, Research, and Training summed up.

"Attacks on DEI initiatives are shortsighted and make our workplaces less safe and less inclusive for hard-working Americans of all demographics and backgrounds. This new data confirms that companies like Molson Coors, Ford, and others that abandon their values and backtrack from commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion risk losing both top employee talent and consumer dollars."

Opens with Haitians to set the scene

Within days of former President Donald J. Trump vilifying immigrants on national television with false stories about Haitian migrants eating pet dogs and cats in an Ohio town, someone began threatening to blow up schools, City Hall and other public buildings, forcing evacuations and prompting a wave of fear.

Introduces the recent shooter a trump supporter:

Days later, authorities said, a man who described himself online as a disaffected former Trump supporter made his way with a semiautomatic rifle to the former president's Florida golf course, evidently looking to take a shot. He was thwarted only when an observant Secret Service agent spotted him and opened fire first.

They ask this democrat his opinion on the cause of all of this violence

"One of the things I'm most concerned about right now is the normalization of political violence in our political system. It's on the increase," Representative Jason Crow, Democrat of Colorado and a member of a bipartisan task force already investigating the July 13 assassination attempt against Mr. Trump, said in an interview. "Now we're on the second one in as many months and it just shows the extent to which this has become pervasive."

Briefly mentions the medias obsession with calling Trump a "threat to democracy" before moving on

Even as he complained that the Democrats had made him a target by calling him a threat to democracy, he repeated his own assertion that "these are people that want to destroy our country" and called them "the enemy from within."

For reference some recent media coverage of Trump

The rest is just blaming Trump

At the heart of today's eruption of political violence is Mr. Trump, a figure who seems to inspire people to make threats or take actions both for him and against him. He has long favored the language of violence in his political discourse, encouraging supporters to beat up hecklers, threatening to shoot looters and undocumented migrants, mocking a near-fatal attack on the husband of the Democratic House speaker and suggesting that a general he deemed disloyal be executed.

While Mr. Trump insists his fiery speech to supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, was not responsible for the subsequent ransacking of the Capitol, he resisted pleas from advisers and his own daughter that day to do more to stop the assault. He even suggested that the mob might be right to want to hang his vice president and has since embraced the attackers as patriots whom he may pardon if elected again.

Mr. Trump does not pause to reflect on the impact of his own words. Just last week, his false pet-eating accusations against Haitian migrants during his debate with Ms. Harris were quickly followed by bomb threats that turned life upside-down in Springfield, Ohio, and he did nothing to discourage them.

Asked by a reporter if he denounced the bomb threats, he demurred. "I don't know what happened with the bomb threats," he said. "I know that it's been taken over by illegal migrants, and that's a terrible thing that happened."

After 10 paragraphs of this shit^ they pretend they are being neutral:

Mr. Trump's critics have at times employed the language of violence as well, though not as extensively and repeatedly at the highest levels. The former president's allies distributed a video compilation online of various Trump opponents saying they would like to punch him in the face or the like. Some of the more extreme voices on social media in the past day have mocked or minimized the close call at the Florida golf course. Mr. Trump's allies often decry what they call Trump Derangement Syndrome, the notion that his critics despise him so much they have lost their minds.

Conclusion: Will Trump learn his lesson?

Anger, of course, has long been the animating force of Mr. Trump's time in politics — both the anger he stirs among supporters against his rivals and the anger that he generates among opponents who come to loathe him. Predictions that he might rethink that after he narrowly escaped death in Butler proved ephemeral. By halfway through his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention five days later, he was back to himself.
