We can be pretty sure that there were many plainclothes government agents and informants in the crowd, encouraging others to break the law.
Sauce?

I repeat myself, but yes, seeing BLM in a German context was baffling indeed. We didn't ship them here as slaves, they came on their own!

I see the same pattern regularly.
- Not eating X will help.
- Eating Y in addition to normal meals will help.
- Eating organic food will help.
- "This doesn't count."
- "Actually the household chores I do are all the exercise I need."
- "No I didn't gobble up half the contents of the fridge in the middle of the night, no idea why it's all gone.".
- "I only eat 2000 calories a day and even just 800 twice a week, that's why I'm a skinny 350 pounds and my belly sags to the ground when I sit down."

Wild speculation on my part - might this also be a strategy of deterrence, providing an heir who is strictly not a friend of Trump's enemies, so as to disincentivice further assassination attempts? Along the lines of "if we kill him, the next-in-line is even worse!".

Seems to have worked! AFAIK nobody tried to kill him at the time.

Well, I for one didn't know (and still don't, since nobody's spoonfeeding)...but then again, I can live with not getting all the implications about US insider baseball.

And then it's not politics, it's basic decency, and if you can't understand that then you are the problem.
I apologize for this heat-post.

Man, Golfing actually looks comfy. I always thought it was stuffy and pretentious and frankly more than a little silly as far as sports go, but looking at this video all that I see is people having some calm fun outdoors in nice weather and nice (though articifial) landscape. Not that I'm about to start golfing, but I hereby withdraw my unjustified dislike for it.

Do you actually need to clean your ears?
I feel a bit like with the recent discussion about pubic shaving. Yeah, sure, you can do that if you like...but is it actually worth the bother?

Hello, fellow reasonable approximation of a human being.
Just spitballing - maybe she talked about it with her friends and they pressured her to go full feminist on the matter. Maybe she's a doormat who genuinely disliked the intimacy but went along with it to avoid confrontation. Maybe your perception of the whole evening is off by 90°. Who knows.
Overall, I have no advice to give.

If the narrative shifts like that it'll be because he's no longer considered a threat.

Some people like their red meat actually dripping red. Maybe it's similar with fish; though it's by no means necessarily the same people. For myself, it's fresher and juicier and there's less to distract from the taste of the thing itself.
Obviously I do not appreciate sushi soaked in sauces and toppings.

Pretty wide range of sized available. Depending on your bulk, the bagginess of your clothing and the option of bringing a backpack, I'm very confident most people would be able to conceal something identifiable as a machete on their person, under most circumstances.

Gang fights and urban violence, for what I know, aren't conducted by well-organized militias armed and trained to maximize combat effectiveness. The ready availability of the weapons and their presence in consciousness - what people instinctively think of when thinking of a weapon to bring - will play a much larger role than their actual usefulness in a given fight.
Plus, polearms are fantastically cumbersome to carry around, doubly so indoors or in vehicles.

Happens in Germany, too, but we don't riot.

Depends slightly on whom you ask. There certainly are enough leftists who will tell you to defer to the greater wisdom of the migrants, who after all do not share in our German sins. But generally very much the authorities.

Serious question: does Europe understand that regulations have costs?
No, it does not.
Any alternate hypothesis has less explanation power.

True enough. There is plenty of low-level bitching and "I sure know better than those ivory tower politicians", but nothing that would have any practical effect.

A gun nut fantasizing about using his collection so badly that he feels the need to bring that much stuff around just shoots himself without actually using much of the hardware? How does that add up?
Crazy people do things that make no apparent sense to outsiders.

I don't. Political opinions are simply social signals. What signal do you want to send? "I am your enemy."?
This is true. I was going to give advice based on my experience, but I have indeed worked only at very dysfunctional places, so I suppose the better advice would be "try to determine whether the company you work for actually functions reasonably well, and if not, go work somewhere else.".
