      I think you’re misreading it. Apparently the witnesses heard HIM fire 30-40 shots before the cops opened fire.

        It's a very rushed Oregon local news article made by a journalist who had to have banged it out in less than an hour (there isn't much coverage in general atm since it is a very recent occurrence)

    Remember if you want to be a chad like Reionehl but dont want to get shot 40 times by the police DO NOT WEAR IDENTIFIABLE SHIT!

    If you are planning on doing anything illegal at a riot do not wear anything identifiable that entire day. From the time you leave your house til the time you come home you should be completely covered up and maybe get some fake ass tattoos to throw people off. Burn the clothes you use as well, and don't buy the outfit you wear online or around the same time you go to the riot.

    Started reading Bullshit Jobs in memoriam to David Graeber. Not even to chapter 1 and I'm having uncomfortable realizations about my work life.

      People would probably be comfortable with capitalism forever if they just gave us a 15-hour work week instead of making us sit in the cubicle factories all day.

    Whatever happened to the Chilean protests? They seemed pretty lit but then I heard talk of a new constitution (that didn't sound like it was much of an improvement) and then I just stopped hearing any news of protests there.

      Chilean here. It was mainly Coronavirus. Chile is the 5th country in the world with most coronavirus cases per capita, at one point we were having 7k new daily causes, wich, if we have had the US population would be the equivalent of over 110k new cases every day. Between the fear of catching coronavirus and spreading it to your family and the lockdown restrictions (you can only move in your "comuna" or sector of the city [dont know how to translate] , otherwise you risk fines or prison time) the thing died down.

      In regards if the new constitution, while it seemed like the bare minimun we could gain from the protest in December, it is still a HUGE deal. Right now we have the 1980 constitution, written during the dictatorship by the Pinochet collaborators without any input from the people. The constitution makes it incredible difficult to pass meaninful legislation (You have to have a supermajority of about 2/3 AND they can still kill the legislation if its deemed unconstitutional). On October 25th we will have a referendum voting Apruebo (Repelling the current constitution and making a new one from scratch with people that would be voted by the electorate), or Rechazo (keeping the constitution).

        Thanks for informing me! I wonder if "comuna" translates to "neighborhood"? That's the word I would use to describe a smaller area of a city.

          You are welcome! Hmm I think comuna is closer to "district" as in "AOC is a representative from this district", but thanks for the suggestion.
