So CHAZ ... no aid program is developed but also Seattle does not recover that area. So a anarchy/proto-warlord status sets in and starts to spread to the surrounding areas. The lawless nature of the place threatens to spread more as people residing on its border decide to move out and thus the "autonomous" area spreads out more to the newly abandoned nearby areas ... unspeakable low scum pits and dens within.

 

Native American drum bangers recover their ability for casting magic. Trolls and Orcs are born, as a delayed side effect of a mysterious new pandemic that swept the world. A class of Street Samurai pioneers the art of cyber implants, robbed from clandestine Microsoft research facilities by disgruntled interns and hackers. Globalized corporations purchase parts of CHAZ for exterritorial exclaves, soon stage of the first Franchise War that sees Pizza Hut emerge as one of the winners, thanks to their new Vegan Meat Substitute Pizza recipe. Parts of that first clash form the Triple-Z urban combat zone, and a Thunderdome is set up in an attempt to install order, under the control of a new warlord and his crew with a prior career as a soundscape gangsta rappers.

 

FASA saw it all coming in the 1980s. Welcome to the world of Shadowrun, Seattle!

Could fit in nicely as a stage :D

"Zip Ties" Either for "re-education" of those who fall outside of "community expectations" or for "interpretative sexuality workshops" (ie, S&M orgies)

Heard pointed out today. A citizen with video started this entire uprising when the death of George Floyd was transmitted around the world. Chaz "police" banished a LW journalist, a one time Obama aide, because he was caught taking unauthorized video.

Welcome to high school homeroom in the 1980s.

 

FASA was indeed ahead of its time. Those into Shadowrun were INTO Shadowrun.

Quick side note, I just played the new one a month ago. It's quite good, with good story telling elements.

If property owners and renters now paying protection money in in CHAZ refuse to pay state and local taxes they'll have bank accounts seized and pay garnisheed. And still have tompay protection.

 

I might be tempted to torch any property I had there, collect the insurance, and move to a more conservative place.

BLM carried out a march in Osaka with permission on June 7th..

 

They plan on having one in Tokyo tomorrow.

 

An interview video with the march leader posted on June 11th.

The comments which includes many Japanese are overwhelmingly negative. Biggest made point is "we just got the virus down under control with 3 months of effort and now you black people want to ruin it all?" "What do you think that will do to your image?"

 

But I reckon that denying a permit to march would cause a bad backlash.

Rational self-interest is a capital offense in Antifastan.

Why Japanese reaction is not a backlash and only the "progressive" one is.

 

Is that code word for only one side like Republicans "pounce" and Republicans "seize"

I mean your language, you classify denying the march would lead to a bad backlash but not the Japanese reaction to it.

Well the Japanese would be more in the right to do a backlash for the marches taking place than BLM would be for doing a backlash if permission to have a march was not granted. Do you disagree?

Let's see what happens when the first social worker responds to a call and gets gunned down.

 

London Breed pushes San Francisco reforms: Police no longer will respond to noncriminal calls

 

San Francisco police officers will be replaced with trained, unarmed professionals to respond to calls for help on noncriminal matters involving mental health, the homeless, school discipline and neighbor disputes, as part of a new wave of police reforms.

 

That change and others, which will be implemented over the coming months, are part of a plan by Mayor London Breed to try to reduce police confrontations with the community. Breed unveiled her proposals after weeks of massive protests over the May 25 police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Probably a good chunk of our calls are domestic disturbances, or Civil Standby's. Police Departments do not do civil standbys, but Sheriff's Offices do, and we go just to keep the peace since they are usually really highly charged events. I wish the demon-rats the best with their utopia projects, I suspect they will find that civilization stands on a very fragile crust provided by honest and honorable cops doing a thankless and dangerous job. I just ran the numbers last week, and while I could go today and be merely ok, if I stay for another two years it is worth about an extra $900/month in retirement. I'll still make less than I do now, but 28 years is enough of this sh*t.

Didn't they did it?

It would essentially depend on which Japanese you ask, but I would call the first, immediate reaction a backlash in most instances.

Long term beneficial to status quo, short term beneficial to ANTIFA/BLM.
