The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And still none. other than videos of people discussing it and what not.
As I said, this board would demand the shell casings from our machine-gunning Prius before believing anything.

Recognizing that there was a riot on June 15th, and only recognizing that riot ignores literally everything else posted but that's a feature, not a bug.

No one has disputed that whichever neighbors might live in the neighborhood will be bothered if there's loud protests. What people have disputed is that there's been ongoing violent assaults on the ICE building that might warrant federal intervention for the last 100 days.

Then I invite the board to go and do what Brandi Kruse did, which was take her camera down there and see for herself what it's like. She went in there with the premise that "No, it's not a war zone, but it's likely not peaceful either" and came away with the conclusion that yes, they need federal troops.

When you post videos of things that aren't riots, <--- and here it is! The definitional narrowing. Which is a more subtle version of the goal post moving your compatriots tried upthread.
