    Claim: Martin Gugino Was Using a "Police Tracker."

    The "yellow line" in Aragula's post #9 looks like he's wearing a second mask underneath the surgical mask, possibly a workman's mask with an outflow valve. I'm pretty sure that if fakery had been involved in the fall, the EMTs would have noticed, and it'd be reported by now. I've seen a...

    COVID-19 Coronavirus current events

    Superspreading is an issue that needs to be taken with several grains of salt. It's interesting and important to learn about, though. First, some background: Most of the discussion around the spread of SARS-CoV-2 has concentrated on the average number of new infections caused by each patient...

    Claim: Martin Gugino Was Using a "Police Tracker."

    Hmm, doesn't look like a police helmet after all.

    Claim: Martin Gugino Was Using a "Police Tracker."

    How about yours? The facts are: * Mr Gugino approached the police * in an open, friendly manner * carrying a black helmet in one hand * and a smartphone in the other hand * which he was moving in front of the officers he talked to. These facts are explained by a) the antifa conspiracy theory...

    Claim: Martin Gugino Was Using a "Police Tracker."

    It looks like he is holding the same kind of helmet that the officers are wearing; the helmet lacks the chin guard that most motorcycle helmets have. He may have approached the officers to return that helmet to them. My guess is that he was recording the officer's uniform IDs with his phone...

    COVID-19 Coronavirus current events

    asymptomatic means a person who is infected but feels no symptoms. That person will at some point have a testable virus concentration in the throat and nasal cavity, and can spread that via droplets. About half of the people on the Diamond Princess who were tested positive had no symptoms at the...

    COVID-19 Coronavirus current events

    New Zealand has 0 active cases. Germany is reopening as cases continue to decline country-wide; as of yesterday, 123/401 counties had no new cases over the past 7 days, and we're down to the levels we had at the beginning of March. We still have strong regulations on public gatherings, with at...

    [Fake] UFO's Casting Shadows On The Moon - "OVNI sur la Lune , 2020-03-26"

    It's certainly a close match, but there is a shadow I don't see in the UFO footage:

    George Floyd Protests and Related Riots, Looting, and other Unrest

    I looked into the Orlando nightclub shooter because of another discussion where someone said police use of deadly force was inevitable, and should not therefore not count. He had obvious problems in school, and IF his community had funded effective social services that help troubled youth find...

    Claims of Drug Overdose in the Death of George Floyd

    We have surveillance footage of the events leading up to the arrest: Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDd5GlrgvsE&t=2m30s The camera is mounted outside the Dragon Wok restaurant. Cup Foods is visible on the opposite side of the street. George Floyd is initially sitting inside the car...

    George Floyd Protests and Related Riots, Looting, and other Unrest

    Claim: When a community disbands a police department, police protection ceases. The Democrats in Minnesota are demanding that citizens be disarmed, while simultaneously working to eliminate any police protection. Reality: Camden, NJ, disbanded their police department, created a different, new...

    George Floyd Protests and Related Riots, Looting, and other Unrest

    I don't think you have evidence for that, either? I have looked it up. My first hit was Google books with "Law and Order: Street Crime, Civil Unrest, and the Crisis of Liberalism in the 1960s" by Michael Flamm; unfortunately, Google limits the amount of pages I could read. Chapter 1 makes the...

    George Floyd Protests and Related Riots, Looting, and other Unrest

    Do you have evidence of middle-class or wealthy white people looting?

    Two problems need help debunking and debating tips? please.

    The rejection of mathematics means you have to illustrate your points in a way that works without abstract thinking. Talking to FEers is much like arguing with people who are not capable of deeply abstract thought, and who therefore always felt highly uncomfortable in maths class. People engaged...

    George Floyd Protests and Related Riots, Looting, and other Unrest

    I wasn't referring to left and right at all. The "sides" are the extremes of the spectrum on whether the protests are justified or not, with people approving of violent protest at one end, and people who say the officers shouldn't be charged, and that police treat white people worse than...

    COVID-19 Coronavirus current events

    The RKI (something like the German CDC) published this in their daily report today: A third, ICD-10 code based system, monitors severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) in hospitalized patients (ICD-10 codes J09 to J22: primary diagnoses of influenza, pneumonia or other acute infections of the...

    George Floyd Protests and Related Riots, Looting, and other Unrest

    Full quote from the article: The CBS News poll found 46% approve of the protests, 38% disapprove and 16% are neutral. About 1 in 6 (17%) approve of the looting that has taken place and 76% disapprove. More than 1 in 5 say the burning of a Minneapolis police precinct was a justified form of...

    George Floyd Protests and Related Riots, Looting, and other Unrest

    Doctor Hansen says that technically, exhalation is required for talking, and that is part of breathing, but also that "just because someone can talk doesn't mean they're not on the brink of complete cessation of breathing". The pressure on the chest means the muscles have to work that much...
