How Police Inertia And Cronyism Promoted Proud Boys Violence

A veteran officer on the Fresno, California, city police force was placed on leave over the weekend when it emerged that he had joined a group of Proud Boys in counterprotesting local citizens who oppose turning over a local theater to an anti-LGBTQ church. But it also turned out that this was nothing new: The officer, a veteran of over a decade named Rick Fitzgerald, had been marching with the hate group for over three years.
It went unnoticed largely because modern police culture, over the past four years, developed an extremely tolerant and often benign approach to dealing with far-right street brawlers like the Proud Boys. As
Swamp-dweller or landlubber? –
Through the years paleontologists have evolved a picture of the appearance and habits of various dinosaurs…. Giant herbivores with long necks and tails, such as the
Brontosaurus, have almost invariably been presented as swamp-dwelling semiaquatic animals.… A young Yale University paleontologist, however, now maintains that the anatomy of the
Brontosaurus points clearly to a life on land.
Update
Debate over whether
Brontosaurus and its fellow sauropods splashed through swamps or ambled over dry land has persisted for decades. In 1971, paleontologist Robert Bakker argued for a landbound dinosaur, based on the resemblance of its nostrils to those of terrestrial lizards. By the late 1980s, scientists had discovered that sauropods had hollow bones. That suggested
Proud Boys Informant Revelation Raises Obvious Questions About Capitol Riot, Journalist Says
Journalist Mark Ames believes that the
Reuters article claiming that Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio is a prolific informant for law enforcement could have implications for the storming of the United States Capitol earlier this month, which led to the arrest of at least five of the group s members. Gotta assume about half Proud Boys are really Shy Government Informants/Provocateurs, based on what we ve learned about other far-right groups, he tweeted. Another reason why cops go light on them they re colleagues after all. Raises obvious questions about Jan 6. Tarrio helped authorities prosecute over a dozen people in cases linked to human smuggling, gambling, and drugs,
Stegosaurus is the stuff of actual, primal nightmares. But unfortunately for
Allosaurus, it’s overshadowed by its later brethren. The oversized therapods of the Cretaceous
T. Rex, Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, etc. rather put it to shame in both mass and raw power, relegating their elder
to something like little-brother status.
There’s a tendency to look at
Allosaurus as akin to a slightly-miniaturized and therefore less-interesting tyrannosaur. This is not fair to
Allosaurus, but it’s also unfair to the dinosaur-interested public. Because when modern paleontologists looked at
Allosaurus in detail, they start noticing strange things. Wonderful things. They noticed, for instance, that the damn thing might have killed its prey
