Apparently in some places there've been a bunch of mysteriously delivered pallets of bricks...

 

Debunked. A combination of google maps and older photos prove otherwise

 

Who debunked it? I know that Snopes is a leftist hack website, so sites like that are just propaganda. Gotta fact-check the fact-checkers.

 

Central Track (local news source) did a good job here in DFW, off the top of my head.

 

Having pallets of bricks in a major city isn't exactly mysterious. They where most likely on construction sites that the protesters happened to go past. One idiot grabs one all the idiots grab one.

And how the hell is the Hang Seng up 2.5%?

 

Well, KC police claim to be investigating, so at least they seem to think there's something to look into?

I don't doubt there've been plenty of pre-existing brick piles. Doesn't necessarily mean no others haven't just shown up.

<tinfoilhat>of course *they* are gonna deliver bricks just like you'd expect to already see, well ahead of time!</tinfoilhat>

 

It won't. There's no goal, there's no message here. Hope this isn't too political, but in the past it was because there was no repercussions, etc.

This time? The officers involved were fired within the day. The singular officer was charged with murder within a few days after that, then riots start. There's no goal here, there's no message they're trying to get people to see, no specific change they're looking to force here, just anger and frustration, which is fair and valid, but there's no organized message or movement. So it won't go on much longer.

Wish I had dumped more into my account to put into NRGU. Today would be a good day to get back in. I'm seeing a lot of red but hey, that just means buy more

 

The article said stashes of bricks and rocks, but it kept reloading and freezing my phone. That sounds more like people the night before gearing up for round 2, 3, and beyond, but that is my speculation. Everything can become a weapon with the right mindset and without complete data, the story goes to the first on the scene.

I’m a supporter of peaceful protests, if that’s your thing. What sucks are the few that ruin it for everyone (violence, illegal activity) and justify it with a thin veil of guilt tripping.

 

I am not sure how many of the videos you've seen, but what do you mean by a "few"? I would say it's thousands of people, maybe tens of thousands, doing the violence, looting, burning, etc.

 

There is a goal and message that I can't get into that on here, but it has nothing to do with the tragic killing of George Floyd. The movement was just waiting for an excuse and a single bad LEO (that should have been fired years ago for previous violent behavior) handed it to them on a silver platter.

I have $1kish waiting on more NRGU.

 

It starts with a few and when emotions run high, it spreads like wildfire.

 

And in Europe now. This is a Marxist movement.

 

I would have to respectfully disagree, I know what you mean but I don't think that's what's going on here at all. I am more in rmepilot's camp on this one. It's not spontaneous and has nothing to do with George Floyd.

 

Agreed. There’s quite a bit more at play than this one incident.

 

Can’t believe I haven’t sold dkng yet.. feel like I should let half go. Get my initial investment back to reinvest elsewhere. Then again, sports haven’t even started back up really

 

The news has gone as far as to say "Some believe a specific group is responsible for inciting most of the violence..." can't bring themselves to ACTUALLY name that group...but the AG's Domestic Terrorist group designation was nice to see..

 

Looking good for a few min so far lol. My Carnival and Norweigan cruise stocks are doing good.

 

Do you have enough shares to sell covered calls? Sell a 1 month in the money covered call, take the cash and lock in your dump price. If it drops you close the contract and keep the cash. If it goes up you lose your shares but still get the $$ you were happy with. I've done this move a lot with shares I'm on the fence about dropping. You can even buy the calls back on dips and then re-sell them on rises.

 

How many shares do I need? I have 200

 

A man on the street in boston who lives on Newbury street area (the "rich street" in boston) said a group of cars pulled in and a bunch of people got out and were running an organized, coordinated effort of destruction. They had clear leaders directing the groups and spotters keeping track of police locations..I wish this man had a cell phone with a camera..but he looked like he was in his 60's so at least he's not going to get doxxed....
