The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

LurkerMom: This call for aggressive and even violent resistance comes as ICE agents have faced an unprecedented spike in car attacks, surging by some 3,200% over the last year...

3,200%!!! Oh my God!!!

Aside from the fact that the percentage is self-reported by the Department of Homeland Security and not independently verified, in numbers, again self-reported by the Department of Homeland Security, that is an increase in vehicular attacks over the past year from 2 attacks to 66 attacks in the prior period.

For additional perspective, there are over 20,000 ICE employees.

66 attacks of a population of 20,000 ICE employees is .003%.

But 3,200% sounds better, I guess.

LurkerMom: Yep, she was a political activist who trained and planned for moments such as this. She wasn’t just a mother, a wife, and wrote poetry for a living. She was a hard-core activist with ties to extremists who stalked ICE agents.

So, then, you're saying it was okay to kill her by shooting her in the face.

She had it coming.

Umm.
