Police: Colorado man arrested after people held at gunpoint

DENVER (AP) — Authorities have arrested a Colorado man they say held two roofing-company salesmen at gunpoint who had been knocking on doors in his neighborhood.

Both were wearing blue polo shirts with a local roofing company logo when Scott Gudmundsen forced them to the ground on Thursday, police told KUSA-TV.

Gudmundsen, 65, was dressed in fatigues and armed with two pistols, one of which had been converted into a longer weapon that looked like a carbine rifle, authorities said.

Gudmundsen had called 911 saying he was going to confront two men wearing masks in his neighborhood in Loveland, police Lt. Bob Shaffer said. Gudmundsen said he believed they were antifa — shorthand for anti-fascists — which is an umbrella term describing far-left groups that resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists at demonstrations and other events.

He needs help.

Sadly, SCOTUS giveth and SCOTUS says FU. With nationwide protests raging over police brutality, they decided they don’t need to bother with that pesky qualified immunity issue that is allowing police to do whatever the FUCK they want.

Shameful.

Why does it feel like SCOTUS is 20 years behind on everything?

Not surprising but to see that less that a 1/4 of Americans are happy, is noteable. And makes me not happy. :wink:

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Spoiler alert: 2020 has been rough on the American psyche. Folks in the U.S. are more unhappy today than they’ve been in nearly 50 years.

This bold — yet unsurprising — conclusion comes from the COVID Response Tracking Study, conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. It finds that just 14% of American adults say they’re very happy, down from 31% who said the same in 2018. That year, 23% said they’d often or sometimes felt isolated in recent weeks. Now, 50% say that.

The survey, conducted in late May, draws on nearly a half-century of research from the General Social Survey, which has collected data on American attitudes and behaviors at least every other year since 1972. No less than 29% of Americans have ever called themselves very happy in that survey.

Federal Executions Set To Resume After Nearly 2-Decade Hiatus

Barr has now authorized federal executions to resume & has already scheduled 4, one on Aug 28—the day Emmett Till was lynched. Only 3 federal executions have taken place since the federal death penalty was reinstated in 1988.

Army soldier charged with giving classified info to neo-Nazi group

A U.S. Army soldier stationed overseas has been charged with passing along information about his unit’s planned deployment overseas, intending it to get extremist groups to attack it.

Army Private Ethan Phelan Melzer, 22, of Louisville, Kentucky, faces a host of federal attempted murder charges, handed up Monday by a federal grand jury, that carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. John Demers, assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department’s national security division said Melzer “planned a deadly ambush on his fellow soldiers in the service of a diabolical cocktail of ideologies laced with hate and violence.

Trump was told in March that Putin has placed a bounty on the heads of American soldiers in Afghanistan.

Russia has paid off some of those bounties. How many of the 20 Americans KIA in Afghanistan since March were assassinated because Trump refused to take action? How many were killed before this because Putin knew Trump is too weak to stop him?
