World Cup Tourists about to get some “civic lessons” if they buy that too much, mmmhmmm.

Not surprised. Tarrant County told the US Marshals my styrofoam cooler with vomit in it was a “bomb threat” and charged me with use of a DEADLY WEAPON. Honestly. If my public defender hadn’t colluded with the Prosecution it wouldn’t be on my record today.

This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better in the US. I’m a nonviolent cripple. Meanwhile a pardoned Jan 6 rioter just told a City Counsel “they should be strung up” and isn’t even being charged. Totally depends what team you’re on right now.

This reminds me of the suppression of reports of serious side-effects from the COVID-19 vaccines when those came out.

Lesson learned: don't use your real identity when posting online.
