This activates my almonds, specifically, because I was forced to up and move, bail on a 19/h job, all because I was feeling the risk of being a free-thinker in Washington DC.
After seeing the damned protests, broken glass on the street in the city I worked, people talking about punching nazis, including people I worked with, and the correlations being drawn from anyone who opposed Hillary to Nazism, seeing people attacked in the street so soon after, seeing people abducted and tortured for supporting trump, riding my bicycle by windows that were boarded up as a result of being smashed on J20

Having my own roommate posting 'Punch a Nazi' shit, and openly talking about how evil they think republicans are...
Better place now?
But people are going to talk about how unsafe Acosta must've been in a room with Secret Service present, a room he willingly walked into to film and commentate, because people yelled mean things at him? Give me a damned break.
Better place now?
I don't believe for a second that he, or anyone who is making commentary of the sort has EVER actually been attacked unprovoked. I have, before. And that's not something you willingly walk in to.
Hell, it's part of the reason why Tim doesn't cover protests anymore.
He got attacked on a side he thought he was safe, and now he won't go on the ground for domestic shit. I 100% follow.
but good lord, CNN's becoming a reality show first, news source second. That'll be about it, [/rant].
Are you in a better situation now? Im pretty much immune from all the far left bs.
I moved back to Texas, yes.
Texas? why did you leave in the first place
Long story. Helping a family member. Got a job. Got stable up there. Liked the city, even though I didn't like the politics.
Jesus. And I used to hear tales of san fran
I didn't have a driver's license until a couple years ago. I've always liked the big city, because it's bikeable.
Even when I worked in Dallas, I had always rehearsed self defense with my bike lock, if necessary.
Kind of a bike courier thing to do.
Thats a thing? Using a bikelock specifically?
Yeah, I got attacked by a group of 'youths'. There had been a rash of attacks on the Metro, people getting attacked by groups of kids basically playing the Knockout game.
Well, I was apparently one of the contestants in this game. I was on a pizza delivery, working late Christmas eve for a bonus with Postmates
group of black kids walking up from the station from Chinatown on H street (actual H street, not the H street that's actually F street where the Spy Museum is, though you still get to Chinatown Station from across the street from that museum....)
Ironically, if I had've seen them and chosen to cross the street, I wouldn't have gotten attacked.
but instead, I thought nothing of it, figured they'll go their way, I'll go mine
Youd be called racist lol
I mean, sure. if I recounted it that way.
Sorry I shoudnt be finding that funny
I find it funny, too.
Id cross the street if I saw a group of youths
I think it's funny when people talk about microaggressions like that
knowing that microaggression would've spared me a somewhat traumatic experience.
Dude its easy being virtuous about something that does not affect you personally
Then again theres some retards who still spout it after being burned.
basically, one of them made a hoot right behind me to get my attention, they had circled me. One of the guys that was behind me swung at me
I caught the movement coming from my right side and moved with it.
Like that one who refused to report her rape
oh, first someone knocked the pizza that I was carrying for a delivery out of my hands.
then someone swung
Forgot about the pizza.
