Kind of a longer story...but it's crazy for sure...forgive my grammar
It's been 2 years since I worked maintenance in two really shady apartments in Birmingham Alabama. I had made so poor choices and my life was rock bottom, 200 bucks a week and a shitty apartment, not bad for a struggling drug addict. I had been working with the Nashama apartments for about 3 months when I met "Tony". He was an average height late thirties early forties Native American man. He kinda came outta nowhere but that's not uncommon in that kind of living situation, he dressed nicer than most in our situation but other than that he seemed normal.
Now these apartments are "under code" at best. Their whole purpose is to get the homeless of the street so I was grateful for what little I had, but these units where in such terrible shape that Tony and I's job of "maintenance" is almost comical. Tony was very skilled in flooring and plumbing, and he was a pretty funny guy, real quite but he'd make quips every now and then with a northern accent. Over the next 2 months Tony and I became "friends" well if you can call it that, we worked together, lived next door to each other, and...used together. You see Tony was very reserved until he did a line of coke, then he'd start opening up, he'd start talking about an "Indian mafia" up north and north mid west, he talked about how he was born into it, and I've got to be honest I was high and so was he, so I started laughing because it sounded ridiculous and I was pretty sure it was a joke. However, I'll never forget the look on his face and in his eyes...it was this dead stare with a slight smirk, like he was somewhere else reliving something...and it was terrifying.
I said " hey man if you ever need to talk...."
He said "nah man....it's fine...another life....let's go get some soft (coke)"
So we call up dude and went to meet him up the hill like usual. The guy cousin called back and said our dude got hymed up and hung up.
Tony said "shit well, I know this other guy" and he proceeded to call him up, and as the guy rolls up I kinda' had this feeling in my stomach, something wasn't right.
(Now forgive my language by this how it went down)
Tony had our money and was leaning in the car....and that's when I heard Tony yell " nah fuck that" and the guy tried to peel off...
Tony had a death grip on this man dragging him through the driver window.
Tony screamed " you trying to stiff me bitch" "huh!!!?"
He hit this man so hard I swear he was trying to punch through his face! He wouldn't stop Blood and flesh mixing with gravel on the ground. I screamed "Tony stop! Fuck this man let's go"
"Fuck you man, check his pockets" Tony yelled
I said "I've got the shit, man let's go, please"
His face...his eyes...he just looked possessed... with one more kick to this broken man's head we fled we fled into the dark....
"What the fuck have you done Tony!? What did you do!? I'm a fucking white guy bro, you're a Native American! We stick out you idiot!They're going to fucking kill us, you've killed us!!!" I shouted with tears in my eyes
"They won't do shit, I punked him out. Beside that bitch didn't see ya'. If he comes around again flashes 9mm I'll dome him." Tony said in a cold 'matter of fact' tone of voice
His tone of voice sent chills down my spine. I've never met someone as terrifying Tony in my life.
The next morning he told me a bit more, still coked out mind you...look with out saying too too much, Tony told me he "worked" in a series Native American Casinos, as some who dealt with..... loans and collections, if you couldn't pay up...Tony and another like Tony would show up and "handle it". He said "things are different on the Reservations, that what people don't get" as he took a sip of his beer.
I'm not gonna lie I was pretty fascinated with his stories and I mean come on they were just stories....right?
Over the next few months my worry that someone would come for us settled down some, and we moved on with life fixing up apartments, doing drugs, rinse and repeat. Until one day we were working on a sink kind of tweaking a little, and up until this point I would listen to his "mafioso stories" with a child like wonder, but on this day he told a story...that kind of made me feel sick.
He told me about this social security scheme that basically consisted of him and his "bosses" cashing social security checks of people that had "cashed in their souls".
He said "we had 6 going until it started falling apart...some one tipped off... "
"Y'all finished yet!?" The drunk tennant said
"Yep" Tony smiled and said cleaning up his tools
He smiled and walked out, right by me, I was still stunned from what I just heard.
If he was telling the truth...then he's a coldhearted monster that's also on the run...and if he's lying then he's incredibly fucked up in the head.
At 3am that night...I found out.
I was woken up by the loudest 'bang' I've ever heard! After the bang a flood of blinding light filled the entire apartment complex! A lot of shouting from outside
" what the hell is happening!?" I yelled to my elderly roommate
I ran to the front door and opened it to an armed and armored US marshal and a sea of blue lights. "Get back inside! Right now" the marshal said sternly with a rifle pointed down wards but definitely in my direction. So that's what I did. Seeing cops rush our apartment complex is nothing new, but this is the most intense I've seen!
The next morning when I came outside, i noticed Tony's door had been smashed in.... "holy shit" I thought while I was walking to the apartment manager's office,
I asked "what the hell happened last night?"
She proceeded to tell me that "Tony" had been on the run for a while, and had some how fooled his way into a government funded HUD apartment complex and job with said Gov't funded apartments....with an assumed identity. She then turned to me and said with a shocked look "Tony....hurt a lot of people "
Every hair on my body stood on end, and all I could get out was "oh..."
I'm not much for "conspiracies" but there was nothing on the news about this arrest, I can't find anything on google about it! Then again it's pretty embarrassing that a state funded homeless program let in an on the run fugitive and then paid him to work maintenance lol
I only mention this because we had a murder on the apartment grounds (btw this guy was also on maintenance), and what little news there was so incredibly vague, that you'd never really know where they were and were really careful to not mention they were HUD houses.
I guess you never really know what's going on in the head of the man next to you
TL:DR - I got a maintenance job with a guy that appeared out of no where but I thought was cool, turns out he's a serial murderer being hunted by the Marshalls

If drug cartels just started selling insulin, cancer drugs and other life saving meds they’d probably be viewed in a much more positive light.

There is an entire Wikipedia article called [\"The Racist Views of Donald Trump\" ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_views_of_Donald_Trump?wprov=sfla1) `Some examples are:` \"In 1973 the [U.S. Department of Justice](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Department_of_Justice) sued [Trump Management](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trump_Organization), Donald Trump and his father [Fred](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Trump), for discrimination against African Americans in their renting practices.\" ` Taking out a full page ad calling for the death penalty of 4 falsely accused black teenagers who allegedly committed a violent rape. The evidence that they were innocent was and still is overwhelming. When they were exonerated, Trump didn't back down. ` `In October 2016, when [Trump campaigned to be president](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_presidential_campaign,_2016), he said that Central Park Five were guilty and that their convictions should never have been vacated, attracting criticism from the Central Park Five themselves and others. \"\"` \"In a 1989 interview with [Bryant Gumbel](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryant_Gumbel), Trump stated: \"A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market.\" Fortune Magazine reported that Trump's statement was not confirmed by studies of factual evidence concerning the impact of an applicant's race on their job prospects. `In his 1991 book [Trumped!](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumped!_(book\)) John O'Donnell quoted Trump as allegedly saying:` I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys wearing [yarmulkes](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kippah).... Those are the only kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else... Besides that, I tell you something else. I think that's guy's lazy. And it's probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks.\" `\"During the early 1990s, competition from an expanding Native American casino industry threatened his Atlantic City investments. During this period Trump stated that \"nobody likes Indians as much as Donald Trump\" but then claimed without evidence that the mob had infiltrated Native American casinos, that there was no way \"Indians\" or an \"Indian chief\" could stand up to the mob, implied that the casinos were not in fact owned by Native Americans based on the owners' appearance, and depicted Native Americans as greedy.\"` \"In April 2005, Trump appeared on [Howard Stern](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Stern)'s radio show, where Trump proposed that the fourth season of the television show The Apprentice would feature an exclusively white team of [blondes](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blonde) competing against a team of only African-Americans.\" ` \"In 2011, Trump revived the already discredited [Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_citizenship_conspiracy_theories) that had been circulating since Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, and, for the following five years, he played a leading role in the so-called \"birther movement\"\"` This is all BEFORE his presidency. `Here are a FEW examples of his racism during and after his campaign and presidency. ` \"At a rally in [Birmingham, Alabama](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham,_Alabama) on November 21, 2015, Trump falsely claimed that he had seen television reports about \"thousands and thousands\" of Arabs in New Jersey celebrating as the World Trade Center collapsed during the [9/11 attacks](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_attacks).\" `\"In August 2016 Trump campaigned in [Maine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maine), which has a large immigrant [Somali](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somalis) population. At a rally he said, \"We've just seen many, many crimes getting worse all the time, and as Maine knows — a major destination for Somali refugees — right, am I right?\" Trump also alluded to risks of terrorism, referring to an incident in June 2016 when three young Somali men were found guilty of planning to join the [Islamic State](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_Levant) in Syria.\"` \"Prior to and during the 2016 campaign, Trump used his political platform to spread disparaging messages against various racial groups. Trump claimed, \"the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our cities is committed by blacks and Hispanics,\" that \"there's killings on an hourly basis virtually in places like Baltimore and Chicago and many other places,\" that \"There are places in America that are among the most dangerous in the world. You go to places like Oakland. Or Ferguson. The crime numbers are worse. Seriously,\" and retweeted a false claim that 81% of white murder victims were killed by black people.\" `\"During the campaign Trump was found to have retweeted the main influencers of the #WhiteGenocide movement over 75 times, including twice that he retweeted a user with the handle @WhiteGenocideTM.\"` \"Trump also falsely claimed that, \"African American communities are absolutely in the worst shape they've ever been in before. Ever, ever, ever,\"\" `\"Trump also suggested that evangelicals should not trust [Ted Cruz](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz) because Cruz is Cuban and that [Jeb Bush](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeb_Bush) \"has to like the Mexican illegals because of his wife,\" who is Mexican American.\"` \"Speaking in Virginia in August 2016, Trump said, \"You're living in your poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed – what the hell do you have to lose by trying something new, like Trump?\"\" `\"On January 27, 2017, via [executive order](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13769), which he titled [Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13769), President Trump ordered the U.S border indefinitely closed to Syrian refugees fleeing the [civil war](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_Civil_War). He also abruptly temporarily halted (for 90 days) immigration from six other Muslim-majority nations: Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.\"` \"In June 2017, Trump called together a staff meeting to complain about the number of immigrants who had entered the country since his inauguration. The New York Times reported that two officials at the meeting state that when Trump read off a sheet stating that 15,000 persons had visited from Haiti, he commented, \"They all have AIDS,\" and when reading that 40,000 persons had visited from Nigeria, he said that after seeing America the Nigerians would never “go back to their huts.\"\" `\"The [U.S. Department of Justice](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Justice) concluded that [Arizona](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona) sheriff [Joe Arpaio](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Arpaio) oversaw the worst pattern of racial profiling in U.S. history. The illegal tactics that he was using included \"extreme racial profiling and sadistic punishments that involved the torture, humiliation, and degradation of Latino inmates\". The DoJ filed suit against him for unlawful discriminatory police conduct. He ignored their orders and was subsequently convicted of [contempt of court](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contempt_of_court) for continuing to racially profile Hispanics. Calling him \"a great American patriot\", President Trump pardoned him soon afterwards, even before sentencing took place.\"` \"In his initial statement on the rally, Trump did not denounce white nationalists but instead condemned \"hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides\". His statement and his subsequent defenses of it, in which he also referred to \"very fine people on both sides\", suggested a moral equivalence between the white supremacist marchers and those who protested against them, leading some observers to state that he was sympathetic to white supremacy.\" `\"On January 11, 2018, during an [Oval Office](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oval_Office) meeting about immigration reform, commenting on immigration figures from El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, and African countries, Trump reportedly said: \"Those shitholes send us the people that they don't want\", and suggested that the US should instead increase immigration from \"places like Norway\" and Asian countries.\"` \"In August 2018, Trump sent a tweet stating that he had ordered Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to look into [land seizures](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_reform_in_South_Africa) and [the mass killing of white farmers](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_farm_attacks) in South Africa, acting on a [racist conspiracy theory](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_genocide_conspiracy_theory).\" `\"In May 2019, the Trump administration announced that there was no plan to replace the portrait of Andrew Jackson on the twenty-dollar bill with that of Harriet Tubman, as had been planned by the Obama administration.\"` \"On July 14, 2019, Trump tweeted about four Democratic congresswomen of color, [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria_Ocasio-Cortez), [Ayanna Pressley](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayanna_Pressley), [Ilhan Omar](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilhan_Omar), and [Rashida Tlaib](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashida_Tlaib). This group, known collectively as [the Squad](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Squad_(United_States_Congress\)), had verbally sparred with Speaker of the House [Nancy Pelosi](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Pelosi) a week earlier: ` I HAVE NOW EXCEEDED THE REDDIT COMMENT WORD COUNT.`

Not sure why there's so many haters on here opposed to cleaning up the ocean - yes there is a vessel used to deploy these tests, but the premise is to make a sustainable network of cleaning devices and if you watched or knew the project, you'd understand that `We def need to kill the issue at it's root and that manufactorers and regulatory bodies need to step up - but even if that happens tomorrow, we need to clean the ocean still. ` I applaud those who spend their time trying to make the planet better - fuck the haters

The republicans have spent the last 30 years stacking the courts and higher offices so this type of deliberate and treasonous disregard for our constitutional protections could go unpunished. They don’t believe in democracy. Mitch McConnell is a self-described confederate and wants a single party theocracy, designed to preserve the wealth of the oligarchs with unimpeded corporate power . This is his endgame; he’s on the one yard line and it’s 4th down (excuse the terrible analogy). They’ve been pursuing this level of unchecked power for decades and he knows it’s all in or he and the rest of the Republican Party will crumble and suffer for their injustice. He sees support for trump remains strong despite the mounting piles of evidence, and he’s just hoping they’ve got just enough support that they can push us past the point of rescue. He’d rather go down in a hail of gunfire manifesting this death of democracy than to lose even one ounce of the power they’ve accumulated; and he thinks of himself as the champion willing to sacrifice himself to deliver the deathblow. He is a servant not of the state, but a patriot of oligarchy.

Anakin's and Luke's arcs from OT/PT completely undermined because JJ wanted Rey to be the real hero and chosen one. No explanation for how Palpatine survived or what he was doing the past 30 years. Or how he created Snoke. `Palpatine dies via his own lightning cause Rey got a shonen powerup from some dead Jedi. But if Palps can surive getting thrown into a reactor then blown up along with the Death Star who's to say he can't survive that too?` Rey ends the movie on a planet she nor the Skywalkers have any positive connection to and she takes the names of people she barely knew because JJ wanted that good ol Tatooine nostalgia. `Galaxy ends in the exact same place as the end of Ep 6 with a destroyed Republic.` Rey's \"accomplishments\"? Takes down the Empire excuse me i mean First Order, kills Palpatine, ends the Sith, turns a Skywalker back from the dark side, and is the last surviving Jedi. Sound familiar? It should cause that's what happened in the OT.

Quote of the Day

The past revolutions show us only too well: “the red flag can be waved against the red flag” until the freikorps arrive.

— Theorie Communiste
Word of the Day
Top-Down — Denoting a system in which actions are initiated at the top of a hierarchy. One might think the opposite to be "bottom-up," but this still assumes an "up"; many grass-roots initiatives make this error, attempting to exert leverage through political channels rather than developing the power to achieve their goal autonomously. Better simply to topple pyramids than to attempt to defy gravity.
1553 — Francois Rabelais dies, Paris France. His last will states:

"I have nothing. I owe much. I leave the rest to the poor."

1626 — Death of Francis Bacon, statesman/philosopher.

He also compiled a Finnish-Swedish dictionary & began the first magazine in Finnish, Mehiläinen (The Bee). Not enough: he also wrote & arranged psalms.
1821 — Charles Baudelaire lives (1821-1867), Paris.
One of the great 19th century French poets, who formed with Stéphane Mallarmé & Paul Verlaine the so-called Decadents. His translations of Edgar Allan Poe made Poe better known in France than the US. He became addicted to opium & hashish, & contracted syphilis, which proved lethal, while in law school.
When his Les Fleur du Mal appeared in 1857 all — author, publisher, & printer — are prosecuted & found guilty of obscenity & blasphemy.
After a lecture tour in Belgium he became seriously ill & died in Paris in his mother's arms.

"Genius is childhood recaptured."

1880 — Maria Jotuni (1880 - 1943) lives, Kuopio. Novelist, playwright, one of the classic feminist authors in Finland.

America free Tom Mooney
America save the Spanish Loyalists

Buy him, they cannot. To what temptation will he succumb who despises the pleasures, who is single, who eats little, drinks nothing & refuses anesthesia to remove a tooth?
The poor & ragged ones adore him, flock to hear him speak. They say when Gaitán speaks it breaks the fog in Bogota.
The arrogant caudillo, tidbit statue face, speaks the naked language of the oligarchy, sitting on the knees of the imperialistic ventriloquist — an oligarchy without its own life, its own words, mouthing agrarian reform & other truths that end a lie.
— ¡Lo mataron! ¡Lo mataron! —
In the street, three shots. Time has run out, Gaitán is left unemployed... Jorge Eliécer Gaitán is assassinated. Listening, earthquake noises, a human avalanche comes to him above. From suburbs & hills, advances a whirlwind, a hurricane of the pain & wrath comes sweeping the city, breaking show windows, upsetting street cars, setting afire buildings...
