They already looted Gaza of all they could, and destroyed nearly 100% what was left, that's why they have nothing worth having except land, which Israel is continuing to steal.
You are completely insane if you believe that anyone in 'Palestine' has even hundreds of millions, much less billions. If they had billions to spend, they would have nuked Israel years ago, or at the least have better weapons than home made, unguided, completely ineffective rockets and stones, and would find a way to buy concrete, water, food, and medicine. Things you CAN'T get in 'Palestine'. If they even had millions, they would take them and leave (individuals, that is).
No one wants to live in Palestine as it stands.

Actually, if they had billions to spend, the international community would not ignore them as they do, because they want those billions. I'm not sure where you got that idea...Fox? Seems likely, it's just the right kind of dismissive, blame the victim insanity they love.

Why would Israel loot Gaza? Does Gaza have anything worth having? Other than billions stashed away at their leaders hovels?

I see this from a somewhat different angle. If the victor spends decades looting and abusing the losing side, they really cannot be surprised that their victims continue to struggle. Consider the results of WW1, and how the vicious restrictions imposed on Germany led directly to WW2. That's what Israel has been repeating.

It's a stupid, counterproductive strategy, and they've lost my support for good.

"Don't even bother looting up there."

Damn straight son, looting sucks after 457deg.

So apparently this happens quite a bit on overnight trains. Found numerous articles including the following.

"KNOCK-OUT GAS ON OVERNIGHT TRAINS - Atul and Smriti Shah experienced it first-hand. “It happened during the night,” they concluded. “The entire compartment was sprayed with some sort of gas that knocked us out. Then our suitcase was slowly extracted from under our seat, the lock twisted loose and, with all the time in the world, the suitcase was looted....”"

God, that dungeon master’s answer was terrible.

The job of the DM is first and foremost to make sure everyone is having fun. If you’re not fudging rules (or making them up on the fly) for the sake of dramatic storytelling then you’re not really getting into the spirit of D&D, in my opinion.

I suspect the girls' reaction to the game has a lot to do with how the game was run. Back when I was those kids age, we were mainly playing dungeon crawls looking for epic loot--basically a “Monty Haul” campaign. The role-playing aspect was minimized while combat was heavily emphasized. The story only existed to drive us to the next combat encounter. Sure there might be some girls into that (just like in video gaming there are some girls into hardcore FPS games) but I wonder if these particular girls would have been as okay with D&D if the game were run that way.

Do you hear yourself? " If I disagree with something a BLACK person does, how come I'm a racist"

Maybe because you keep referring to them as black as a negative.

Maybe they're just people and not black people. You say we're playing the race card, but we're not the one making sweeping generalizations about how the looters were young black males, you did that.

Not to mention the desperate need by you to conflate the shooting and the looting as a single event. The shooting and the looting are two separate events, sure one is happening because of the other but they are still separate events. The inference by the racists is that apparently only black people loot and never other people and we know this to not be true.

You're picking and choosing which evidence you believe to be reliable and if what you claim is true and you're a cop so you're anything but unbiased. Hell even Bob of all people admitted that not all the facts are in and that some of the evidence doesn't look favorable for the shooter. If even Bob can admit it, why can't you? Because you're biased that's why. It's standard "I want it to be true, therefore it is true" mentality.

All the "leftists" (another term used with negative connotations) are saying is that racism exists and is still alive and well. Even if this shooting turns out to not be racially motivated. It still highlights the underlying problem. People don't trust cops and as you are so fond of saying, that trust and respect has to be earned, not mandated. I know you wouldn't begrudge the population taking possibly violent measures against an organization that is perceived to be tyrannical, now would you. Because otherwise you'd be a hypocrite and we wouldn't want that now would we.

But hey, don't take my word for it, just keep hurling insults and sweeping generalizations when people don't agree with you and you get mad and go into sour grapes mode and change your argument and use other distractions. It's worked out for you so well so far.

If you have no reason to believe they may be corrupt, then you simply haven't been paying attention.
For the action of the cop to be self defense, you must take his word as truth and ignore the witnesses (granted, they have not been consistent) and you must accept that it's the right method to attempt to manhandle a person for jaywalking (the reason for the stop in the first place) and that it's the right thing to do to escalate a confrontation from a fist fight directly to firearms, ignoring the other options made available like pepper spray, tasers, batons, and backup. If the officer was truly in fear, he only needed to shut and lock his door to be safe, how is that hard?

Your reading comprehension is terrible. He said clearly that it's NOT reasonable or condonable, but is understandable as a misguided attempt to 'lash out' at the system that keeps you down.

I saw lots of white people on TV rioting and looting too, but they don't count because they don't further your (seemingly racist) theories, right?

It seems you've ignored the majority of the protests that have been responsible, civil, and peaceful in favor of focusing on the minority of trouble makers (that insert themselves into ANY mass protest these days) and blame their actions on the entire community (while knowing that most of the rioters are not from the community but have traveled there in order to riot and loot).

As the one's in 'charge', is it not the police that have the responsibility to display 'responsible behavior'? I thought it was your position that behavior works on a trickle down system, where the behavior of the top is emulated all the way down...does that not make this the police chief's fault?

@lantern53
did you just compare a famous nazi warmongering propagandist (who got his playbook from an american *edward bernaise*) to a political satirist?

a political satirist who is skewering actual so-called "journalists"?

jon stewart is NOT a journalist and this segment is not about reporting on ferguson but rather pointing to the absurdity of some news outlets and how THEY propagandize.

nobody knows for certain the details of what went down,mainly in part to "news" outlets such as the daily show is revealing to be muppets rather than journalists but ALSO how the police department is handling the situation.

the news outlets are also ignoring the under lying reasons why there was rioting and looting.

or do you actually believe that people in this community just decided to blow up businesses and take to the streets.as if it were inherent to their nature and that rioting is fun!
yaaay rioting! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeEEEE!

but maybe...
juuuust maybe.
there had been an ongoing persecution brought on by years of flagrant abuse of authority and a disproportionate focus on this poor community?
think that could be possible?
not only is it possible but probable,because thats exactly what many of the residents have actually said.

a few decades of bad policing will have that effect on people.

who is the blame?
do we blame the residents?who after years of police stepping on their necks resorts to violence?
well,they do hold some responsibility.though we may understand,we cannot condone.

or do we blame the police?

well,several weeks ago you made the argument that it was actually those in command that set the tone for the entire force.

that was a good argument.
i agree with that argument.
being former military i understand the chain of command and how vital it is to a working and successful force that wields immense power.

so here is my basic problem with your commentary:
you chastise stewart for ignoring the violence,rioting and protesting,while at the VERY SAME TIME ignore the REASONS why that that violence erupted.

you appear to be very vocal in your support of the police,ANY police,which commendable...even noble,but you,yourself,noted that those in command could be corrupt,vicious and incompetent.

so my question is this:
why would you defend those cops?

so many cheap shots taken in this segment, Stewart needs to re-arm

'unarmed man shot by cop' does not tell the full story at all

also, as for cops responding to protests, Stewart left out all of the rioting, looting and burning of private businesses

typical funny propaganda, Joe Goebbels would be proud

Next year, someone needs to organize these pushes into flash-n-dash mobs-
Bypass those check-out booths like they do the front door hinges and just loot the shit outta all these stores!!
Give it few years they won't have to organize the mob, they'll put 2 and 2 together and move like a cohesive unit

I was referring to the 1% of the west that was the target of the Occupy movement. If you want to point out the global wealth disparity then yes, we do enjoy our cheap Walmart crap. We then indeed come out far ahead of the poverty seen around the world, with the global 1% comprising people in USA, Canada, Japan and Brazil, etc. with an average annual income of just $34,000.

I think we can safely assume that the 1% talked about in this vid aren't worried about the international poor. The point is that they just want to keep the domestic disenfranchised out of their fantasy mansions (after the inevitable looting of Walmart is complete.)

Your video, Hedge Funds Are Looting the Pension Funds of Public Workers, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

The docos I have seen on excavations of suddenly abandoned cities generally feature some discussion of whether there is evidence of political collapse (fire, looting) or natural catastrophe (climate records of drought, or evidence of earthquake etc.).

In some cases it is possible to determine, but sometimes we'll just never know.

Of course, it's always possible that a city happened to suffer a GFC style bank blow-up exactly as a natural catastrophe arrived, there's no rule that droughts can't happen in years of political or financial ineptitude.

They missed the part where he runs out of money to buy loot and you leave with a pile of loot still in your bag...
