    "Teens" kill a man in a "game" called "knockout."
    White folks are almost always the victim of this game. However, if anyone dares to state these facts, they would be deemed by the media as racist.

    The full video is bad. After hitting the 59 year old man, the “teens” (why is that term always used in these stories?) then spit on him. So now a 59 year old with a family is dead but if you tell the truth about the “knockout game,” you’re a racist.

    This is stupid

    Teens kill man in random attack at town fair, police say

    Two teens charged in ‘unprovoked’ beating death of man at Maryland fair

    It is hard to see exactly what happened.
    It looks like the tall teen started it but without sound it is hard to know

    I can see why racism is so popular these days.

    The demand for racism outstrips the supply.

    For some reason I can't see embedded tweets in this forum anymore. Any tech experts know what I can do?

    4th_floor Dude, where's my laptop?

    I'm no expert, but I had the same problem after I started using a VPN. Check the ad-blocker settings. That's what I had to do.

    At this point, it's "OK, since we can't identify the leaks anymore, let's at least have some fun..."

    Boys Town in Nuevo Laredo is surrounded by a very high wall with glass embedded in it at the top.

    Do you know this from experience? If so, were you there for the donkey shows, the hookers with Adams's apples, or both?

    Yes. No. No. No.

    I grew up in Laredo. Went there more than a few times; sometimes by myself late at night when everyone went home and I was too drunk to face my mom (when I came home for summer break from college). Wild times. BUT, for all my sin I did have standards such as they were and donkey shows were not for me. As for the Adam's Apple, I didn't specifically see that; maybe inadvertently.

    Yeah websites REALLY don't like it when you don't let them see where you are. I have to turn off my VPN to stream Hulu.

    I have to turn on my VPN to stream Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Netflix (unless I'm ok with German Netflix).

    Your VPN probably tells the site you're in the States and therefore get to use US streaming services. In which case... excellent!!

    Yep. I'm sure these companies know I do this, but I'll bet they overlook it for people with APO billing addresses.

    Thanks. I will try turning off the VPN. I had disabled the ad blocker and tried to set up this site specifically to allow everything to come through. But the VPN is on.

    Checking Foxnews.com's coverage of the story regarding the arrest of Guiliani's business associates. At 9am PST it was the lead story. It's now been moved to article #25, 1.5hrs later. Evidently this story is less important than the following:

    1. Matt Lauer alleged rape (plus 3 related articles)
    2. Behar's thought on DeGeneres' plea for civility (plus 2 more related articles)
    3. A person headed to prison for muder whose defense was "stand your ground"
    4. An asteroid that may hit Earth 70 years from now
    5.
    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might move to some other country
    6. A 'Full House' star not in touch with Mary Kate and Ashley Olson.
    + many others...

    Also keep in mind all of the above stories rate more newsworthy than any coverage of Syria.

    By all appearances, Foxnews is literally trying to bury the story. These changes in order of the articles also followed Trump's criticism of Foxnews this morning.

    Good thing there are many other alternatives out there. Big media tends to align itself with a political wing as we have seen. That gives opportunities to independents to enter.

    Two business associates who have worked together with Guiliani doesn't mean they were joined at the hip. People I've done business with have gone to jail. Doesn't mean I was close to them or I was involved in their criminal behavior. The story isn't as big as you're making it out to be.

    If you want biased reporting check out how the MSM has handled Schiff's lies during the Russian collusion case, the whistleblower situation, and the way he lied about what was in the Ukraine transcript. If Schiff was a republican you and the MSM would be losing your minds right now.

    Come on...Guiliani has mentioned these gentlemen has helping him with his investigation. Specifically the introduced him to Shokin and other politicians, some of which Guiliani is going on TV holding up pieces of paper claiming they are affidavits from the same people Guiliani used these people to meet.

    Trump specifically mentioned removing Ambassdor Yanukovich which the indictment states these gentlemen lobbied for, specifically to "Congressman-1" which appears to be Pete Sessions. The indictment is for Campaign finance violations but these guys are in much deeper in the Impeachment story.

    Big deal. They're helping with with an investigation. It doesn't prove or disprove what Guliani is involved in. Hell, they might be completely innocent of all charges. It's too early to say what the true nature of the relationship is and their involvement in the impeachment story (if there is any).

    Ok. Since this is a media thread I'll acquiesce and agree with your initial response that this isn't a big deal. It's less significant than all of the following.
    Just checked again. "Oprah opens up about never marrying or having kids" is now more important news. :yippee:
