#to the fully manufactured racial fears of the white american

[unidentifiedfuckingthing]

even though your feelings are always real, they arent always fair or useful. the crime rate is the lowest it's been in decades but the fear of violent crime and belief in your own victimhood is what leads people to call 911 on a black man walking in a neighborhood or be too disgusted to touch or talk to a homeless person. its not cold calculating evil! its real physical fear and the feeling of safety in some associated action. it's a normal & reasonable self-protective instinct, but its informed by a false understanding of what will make you safe or unsafe, and acting on it can hurt other people. your right to feel fear or disgust or safety is sometimes in opposition to other people's health and material safety- and often in opposition to your own real safety, if you constantly live under a fear that isn't realistic or useful and precludes you from enjoying safety you physically have access to.

so: it's in the interest of your own safety and the safety of your community to be aware of the lifestyle your fears lead you to lead and to work toward shedding fears that aren't true or helpful. its difficult because it feels like the most evil thing in the world but you can just decide to stop feeling upset by something whenever you want. it feels bad!! i think theres probably a natural human aversion to changing our minds about fundamental preconceptions about safety because thats what keeps us from getting eaten by tigers. but everything serves an end, and it's good to hold your belief system to a standard of utility and truthfulness, to the best of your knowledge, and when you learn new things about the world, be gracious enough to adjust. a lot of the time, also, if you don't feel comfortable taking a stance because you need more information or have conflicting records of the truth you can find a lot of useful real-world data and opinion on the internet, and here, as in all things, it's vital & greatly expands your world to cultivate good research skills and credulity. now, unrelated trivia: genuine paraphilic attraction to children isnt a reliable indicator or even correlate of past or future attempts to sexually abuse children

Stone-Cold Loser https://nyti.ms/2S85c83

Roger Stone, who was arrested in a dawn raid at his home in Fort Lauderdale, has long been fond of the Somerset Maugham line that Florida is a "sunny place for shady people."

"Just as Nixon went down in history as a disgrace to the office of the president, so now will Stone go down as an accomplice to enemies of the republic," writes Eric Caine from Modesto in a comment on @MaureenDowd's column, "Stone-Cold Loser."

"Stone-Cold Loser"

By Maureen Dowd | New York Times Opinion | Published Jan. 26, 2019 |

Posted January 27, 2019 |

WASHINGTON — Roger Stone has always lived in a dog-eat-dog world.

So it was apt that he was charged with skulduggery in part for threatening to kidnap a therapy dog, a fluffy, sweet-faced Coton de Tuléar, belonging to Randy Credico, a New York radio host.

Robert Mueller believes that Credico, a pal of Julian Assange, served as an intermediary with WikiLeaks for Stone. Mueller’s indictment charges that Stone called Credico “a rat” and “a stoolie” because he believed that the radio host was not going to back up what the special counsel says is Stone’s false story about contacts with WikiLeaks, which disseminated Russia’s hacked emails from the D.N.C. and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman.

Stone emailed Credico that he would “take that dog away from you,” the indictment says, later adding: “I am so ready. Let’s get it on. Prepare to die (expletive).”

As the owner of two Yorkies, Stone clearly knows how scary it is when a beloved dog is in harm’s way. When he emerged from court on Friday, he immediately complained that F.B.I. agents had “terrorized” his dogs when they came to arrest him at dawn at his home in Fort Lauderdale.

The last thing Stone posted on Instagram before his arrest was a video of a terrier, with a high-pitched voice-over, protesting, “Roger Stone did nothing wrong.”

Always bespoke and natty, living by the mantra that it’s better to be infamous than never famous, Stone looked strangely unadorned as he came out of court to meet the press in a navy polo shirt and bluejeans.

As the master of darkness who had been captured in darkness stepped into the bright light of Fort Lauderdale, he was his usual flamboyant, unapologetically meretricious self. He proclaimed his innocence, flashed the Nixon victory sign and reiterated the old saw from his mentor, Roy Cohn, that any attention is good attention.

But it fell flat. Being Roger Stone had finally caught up with him.

He has always said Florida suited him because “it was a sunny place for shady people,” borrowing a Somerset Maugham line. But now the cat’s cradle of lies and dirty tricks had tripped up the putative dognapper. And it went down on the very same day that Paul Manafort — his former associate in a seamy lobbying firm with rancid dictators as clients, and then later his pal in the seamy campaign of Donald Trump — was also in federal court on charges related to the Mueller probe. Manafort’s hair is now almost completely white.

One of Stone’s rules — along with soaking his martini olives in vermouth and never wearing a double-breasted suit with a button-down collar — is “Deny, deny, deny.” But his arrest for lying, obstructing and witness tampering raised the inevitable question about his on-and-off friend in the White House, the man who is the last jigsaw-puzzle piece in the investigation of Trumpworld’s alleged coordination with Russia: Is being Donald Trump finally about to catch up with Donald Trump?

Stone, who famously has Nixon’s face tattooed on his back, is the agent provocateur who is the through line from Nixon, and his impeachment, to Trump, and his possible impeachment.

As Manafort said in the 2017 documentary “Get Me Roger Stone,” Trump and Stone “see the world in a very similar way.” And that way is theatrical and cynical. Do whatever you have to do to get what you want; playing by the rules is for suckers.

In 1999, when I went on a trip to Miami to watch Trump test the presidential waters, Stone orchestrated Trump’s Castro-bashing speech to Cuban-Americans. The bodybuilding, swinging strategist, christened “the state-of-the-art sleazeball” by The New Republic in the 80s, said he was “a jockey looking for a horse.”

Stone, who was mixed up in Watergate at the tender age of 19, “made the transition from the Stone Age of dirty tricks to today,” as David Axelrod puts it.

He watched Nixon rally the silent majority with a law-and-order message and racial dog whistling. He helped Ronald Reagan create Reagan Democrats.

For decades, believing “past is prologue,” Stone urged Trump to be the successor to those pols, revving up angry, white working-class voters who felt belittled or scared of “the other.” It would be so easy to divide and stoke resentment, as Stone and Trump proved when they inflamed the birther controversy against Barack Obama.

“Hate is a stronger motivator than love,” Stone told the documentarians. “Human nature has never changed.”

The tribal tensions in America made Stone’s favorite tricks easier than ever; he didn’t have to operate in the shadows. He wore a T-shirt with Bill Clinton and the word “Rape” at 2016 campaign rallies. As Stone boasted in the documentary, his “slash-and-burn” tactics “are now in vogue.”

Trump has had periods of estrangement with Stone. In 2008, in an interview with The New Yorker, he called the strategist “a stone-cold loser,” a state Trump himself has been relegated to this past week, courtesy of Nancy Pelosi.

Stone will not go gently. When he is asked about the tattoo of Nixon, he says he got it to remind himself, “A man is not finished when he is defeated; he is only finished when he quits.”

At the moment, though, dogged by Mueller, Stone and Manafort are the dog’s breakfast. The pair has given practicing the dark arts a bad name.

"There's one piece of history about Roger Stone that never gets enough press, Ms. Dowd. That is, Roger Stone was involved in the "recount" in Florida and swinging it to George W. Bush. Specifically, he was behind a political group attacking three Democratic state Supreme Court justices threatening Bush's possible victory: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2003/07/11/fla-may-fine-gop-figure-for-2000-recount-actions/af72ec6a-082e-4292-913c-f8ed14c2fc62/?utm_term=.9e4d3fc6c5f3 These sleazy political operatives, from Lee Atwater to Karl Rove to Paul Manafort to Roger Stone on the Right have been getting away with this disgusting behavior for decades. Trump is a direct result of this cancer. Lock them all up." V of LA

"The ghost of Nixon past still haunts us. Just when you thought it was safe to trust our democracy, we get the Nixon salute and see his face on Stone’s back, just not quite low enough, in my opinion. The president was bad enough, but now it looks as though he’s merely the apex of a vast pyramid scheme so vile and full of duplicity that only Betsy DeVos could fully appreciate it. But it’s clear that the president didn’t accomplish his takeover on his own. He was socially promoted to a position higher than he could have ever reached without dirty tricks, lies and conspiracies galore. If today’s events aren’t disgusting enough, we’re even picking up echoes of Roy Cohen. There’s even a faint whiff of Joseph McCarthy that you can just make out while watching the nightly news. It recalls a time when powerful people weaponized fear and ignorance, and nearly turned us into animals at each others throats. We can only hope that people who voted for the president were among those fearful of going broke during the government shutdown. You can talk to people all day about why an unread, crotch-groping narcissistic moron is not a good candidate for president of the United States, but until they feel it in their guts, and their wallets, they’ll never fully understand. Do we have your attention now? Have you taken note of the sleazy, lying manipulators who manufactured this presidency with your help? Mueller might undo some of the damage, but it's up us not to let it happen again." gemli of Boston

"Imagine assembling a clown show of Trump, Junior, Jared, Manafort, Bannon, Stone, Flynn, KA Conway and some sideshow characters like Carter Page and Papadopoulus. Deliver some memorable campaign promises for America's future like "Lock her up" and "Build the Wall", while encouraging mobs to beat up reporters. Toss in a few surprise tapes about assaulting young women. Then openly conspire with Russian intelligence to interfere in the US election while being watched by the FBI, CIA and 6 European country intelligence services. And make plain as day efforts to relieve sanctions on Russia, support the pro-Russian cause in Ukraine, make over 100 contacts with Russian government officials during the campaign and transition and attempt to set up a secret communication channel through the Russian Embassy that US intelligence cannot monitor. Even after all of this, the chaos and the soaring deficits of the first two years of the Trump Administration, around 40% of Americans still think he is doing a great job. Based on personal experience working in all 50 states, I don't believe that part of the population is going to change much. But we need to take back the government on behalf of future generations and do it soon." Look Ahead of Washington

"Like Trump, Roger Stone is a man with no redeeming qualities and no morals at all. Cohen and Manafort as well. They admire and emulate the tough guys of organized crime without actually BEING those tough guys. But the Russians working for former KGB agent Putin are those tough guys, and that's who the phonies chose to do business with. Stone is blustering but he's counting on a Trump pardon, not realizing 3 things: 1) Trump WILL throw him under the bus. A pardon is unlikely. 2) A Trump pardon means he cannot use the 5th Amendment to keep from testifying--meaning he must tell the truth or face contempt or perjury charges. 3) He will still be liable to state charges, and the new NY AG would love get him in her cross-hairs. Stone is finished and doesn't even know it!"Dad of 2 /NJ

"Roger Stone is a truly mean-spirited figure. No wonder he, like Trump, his soul mate if you will, were proteges of Roy Cohn. One thing is certain, nobody is going to feel sorry for Stone, Manafort or any of Donald Trump's merry band of mean, vindictive misfits. Once our national nightmare is over, it will take a long time to heal, if we ever can. Because Stone and Trump poked the racist beast of a certain segment of the nation, unleashing virulent emotions, conservative-fed conspiracy theories, and disdain for truth, fact checking, and critical thinking. The president, a man who doesn't read, aligned himself with a man who did but used his reading to polish his dark arts, and tries to make ignorance seem cool. As a result, they got an entire political party to totally overhaul its thinking on foreign policy goals, belief in climate science (indeed, belief in any science) and even, I venture to say, the biggie: immigration. Trump, egged on by Stone, has done more damage to our politics, rule of law, and views of government than any foreign invader could have. Stone, more than Trump, grasped an essential truth: the worst damage a country can undergo is from within."Christine McM of Boston

"If Stone and The Donald have used "revving up angry white working-class voters" as a tactic to win elections, one wonders whether they are themselves authentic racists or whether they believe in nothing but power for its own sake. Are they "merely" impersonating bigots or are they true believers? Either way they represent a pestilence that needs to be driven out of the body politic, and yet if they're being disingenuous with respect to their own feelings about white supremacy (a disease that normally infects only the feeble-minded) one wonders how they manage to live with themselves. Can one ever attain enough wealth and power to compensate for the loss of one's soul? Perhaps it's a moot point but I somehow can't get past it."

Phyllis Dalmatian of Kansas

"Stone is Johnny two-face: he threatens to harm a security dog then uses his own two dogs' reaction to his early-morning arrest as proof of the FBI's perceived heavy-handed tactics. He trumpets his dedication to "the truth" while lying (all his life) and throughout the Mueller investigation--threatening former criminal associates if they cooperate with--i.e. tell the truth to--the feds. He professes patriotism while working in league with his country's greatest adversary to undermine an American presidential election. It is no wonder anyone this duplicitous should be an acolyte of Richard Nixon and a life-long driving force in the Republican Party. That's the way the GOP grows its alleged leaders--by rewarding them for wrecking American values without demonstrating any consciousness of guilt. "CMary of Chicago

"Why is it so many Americans believe whatever they are told? People like Trump and Stone commit crimes and lie in plain sight and many of our countrymen lap it up like duck soup. Was it growing up in the era of Disney and Spielberg that has made so much of the public susceptible to political special effects? "Of course President Obama is a Muslim, my TV said so." You can't fool all of the people, but you certainly will have no trouble fooling half of them. These remain dangerous times."Socrates of NJ

On Trumpism

Trump was a formula … not a force, a tool … not a tyrant.

If your focus remains on that puffy little can of Orange Blush, you are missing the core of the challenge we face in defending our forefathers Tree of Liberty.

You are no longer contributing to the fight.

Worse than this, you encourage others to be distracted by this fool (whom we all wish punished for his treasonous actions against this great nation and its people).

Thinking him the target, the threat, the finish line … you hold in your blind spot the next to step up.

The infrastructure is there for any and all willing to use it.

An entire base, fully extracted from reality and inserted into a fabrication authored by a GOP hell bent on oligarchy … minority rule set in stone.

It is not Trump that binds together the modern GOP.

It is the desire to control a populace that no longer reflects their tribal, racial caste system ideology.

This is the decade when White officially becomes outnumbered by the sum of non-White in this nation.

We cannot return to the politics of our past simply because we took the seats … took the office.

The greatest threat was never the folks filling those seats … holding that office.

The greatest threat was (and is) the machinery manufacturing a base to enable those folks.

Your browser does not support the video tag.

If you don’t see the demographical inflection point at play…

see that Trumpism has nothing to do with the man or his family…

but everything to do with an old white regime desperate to stave off obsolescence,

you’re missing the forest …

enthralled by the trees.

Punish that m0therf$&ker … mercilessly …

but also realize that there is work to be done …

work that looks different from anything you’ve been asked to do before.

More than 22 million of our populace has had their fears…

their worldview rigidity…

their hardships…

their ignorance…

their susceptibility to propaganda and cult phenomena…

exploited by nefarious men in order to further their un-American agenda.

Democracy isn’t compatible with a dual reality configuration.

It requires common ground.

Common ground requires a common reality.

Punish the m0therf$&ker … for doing so does not impede outreach.

The tribe has spoken … needle … fixed.

It’s no longer about billboards.

It is about cult member extraction.

It is about the return of the victimized to their families … to our shared reality.

You don’t have to stop hating them to see the value of such an effort.

Each soul we reach is lost forever to the GQP.

Each soul we reach is one more person marking their availability as unavailable when asked to join up for the next tour through Capitol grounds.

Where justice is concerned…

where accountability is concerned…

f$&king get after it.

Make examples of them for future generations…

examples we shall include in our lesson plans when teaching our children’s children the history of this nation’s Tree of Liberty.

Where politics are concerned…

if you are finding yourself running the same plays that worked for us last year…

you’re doin’ it wrong…

for you’ve failed to see the forest through the trees.

Contending with Dan Arel

I’d like to return from my long departure by contending with Dan Arel’s arguments for justifying punching nazis. As a former neo-nazi myself (who now identifies as a classical liberal and a secular humanist) I feel like I have a better understanding of how nazis think and about their ideology than most people talking about this subject right now, so I feel it is appropriate for me to throw my two cents into the marketplace of ideas.

On January 20th of this year the founder of the Alt. Right movement Richard Spencer was punched in the face by an ANTIFA (anti-fascist) member while giving an interview with an Australian broadcasting crew during Donald Trumps presidential inauguration. This assault sparked a debate about whether or not it was ethical to punch Nazis. Dan Arel, a liberal author and blogger, championed the movement that was justifying punching Nazis, and he contended with my colleagues and friends like Peter Boghossian and Lalo Dagach on Twitter who defended reason and secular American values.

Now, I will be contending with Dan’s arguments found in his blog “Danthropology” titled: “Should we be okay with punching Nazi’s?” and that he argued for vocally in his interview with Lalo Dagach on the Lalo Dagach Podcast on YouTube. Before you read this article, please listen to the Lalo Dagach podcast episode with Dan and read Dan’s aforementioned blog article for more context. I have provided the links to each below:

Dan’s blog: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/danthropology/2017/01/okay-punching-nazis/

Lalo Dagach Podcast: http://youtu.be/MQHP3FYSBl8

Allow me to begin to unpack this mess by listing Dan’s five main arguments and then by contending with each one individually.

1. Nazis advocate for genocide.

2. Anyone that’s not a nazi but also advocates for genocide should also be punched.

3. The victim should be a person with a significant amount of power and influence.

4. Punching stops people who advocate for genocide from the pursuit of extending their power and influence because it strikes fear into them.

5. Slippery slope arguments fail because punching people who are advocating genocide is self defense or acting in the defense of others.

After contending with Dan’s first point, I could wrap this whole thing up and call it a night. Because Dan’s entire argument fails when you take into account that most modern American Neo-Nazis do not advocate for genocide. This may be shocking to most readers, but it’s the truth none-the-less. When I was a skinhead I didn’t believe in racial genocide of any kind. And most of my comrades at the time didn’t either. In fact, the most common belief among modern racist skinheads or any individuals that identify as neo-Nazi's or national socialists/white nationalists believe the white race and it's culture is under threat of extinction and though violence may be necessary to defend their race and culture, the use of genocide is not. They believe the reason people believe they advocate for genocide is because they are just zionist lies told to make Hitler and national socialism look bad.

To Dan’s credit, he admitted that there’s a disconnect and that he could be misusing the word nazi as someone who advocates for the genocide of minorities. While it’s true that there are nazis who do advocate for ethnic genocide, they are on what I refer to as “the fringe within a fringe”. They are usually uneducated, unorganized independent skinheads that pose no real threat to society because they spend most of their lives either in prison or in poverty. They have no power or influence in the world.

But, this is not the mainstream Alt. Right “nazism” of people like Richard Spencer we are seeing today. (Some in the Alt. Right movement lean more towards the cultural libertarian side than they do the white nationalist side of the Alt. Right spectrum, as described in greater depth below, like Milo Yiannopoulos for example). I think to better understand how nazism is different today than it was in Germany back in the 1930’s and 40’s we need to examine what made nazism nazism then, and then examine how nazism in America has evolved into what we see today and examine the similarities and differences from it’s foreign predecessor.

When Hitler joined the very small German Workers Party back in the 1920’s, he added the term “National Socialist” to the party name so that it became the “National Socialist German Workers Party”, the NSDAP, or “Nazis” for short. The party was anti-democratic and deeply fascist, they were German nationalists, white supremacist and white socialists, (“White socialism” is a system where only whites benefited from the fascist-socialist state that owned all wealth and property that in Hitler’s Germany was private in name only). Neo-Nazis today will also deny that there even was a holocaust at all. That the “Final Solution” was simply Hitlers plan to expel all the Jews and all enemies of the reich from all Nazi occupied lands. That the pictures we see of thousands of frail twisted bodies frozen in horror were simply prisoners the Nazis could no longer afford to feed or treat for disease. That the holocaust is a conspiracy that the U.S. and Zionist leaders manufactured to establish a piece of land in Palestine as the state of Israel once again. Why would someone advocating genocide as a Nazi waste so much time and energy trying to deny the very genocide the Nazis are known for committing in the 1940’s? Unless, they believed genocide was wrong and that someone was trying to make Hitler and the Nazis out to be worse than they really were.

Ever since George Lincoln Rockwell started the American Nazi Party in the 1960’s, nazism in the U.S. has been evolving into something that can inter-grade with American politics better than the fascist post imperialist German Nazism of Hitler and his NSDAP. Dropping “Sieg Heil” and replacing it with “White Power” and limiting public display of the swastika were the early American Neo-Nazis first attempts at recasting the group’s image as a legitimate political party in the U.S. They were white nationalists like the original Nazis, but they denied the holocaust, did not advocate genocide, they promoted democracy over fascism and white capitalism over white socialism. David Duke of the KKK was a former American Nazi party member, as was William Pierce who founded the National Alliance and who wrote the Turner Diaries.

Now, in today’s political atmosphere, libertarian conservatism and American Neo-Nazism have clashed, evolving to inter-grate ever more into today’s political spectrum, into the hybrid known currently as the “Alt. Right” or as I call them, “Nazi Lite”. It’s the economic ideals of social libertarianism and a democracy with limited government, (which is the polar opposite of Hitlers economy), paired with white nationalism. As we are starting to see, the word “Nazi” defines a wide range of ideologies that are often conflicting ones. So, as Dan alluded to, his choice of the word Nazi as one that represents a person who advocates genocide was a poor one.

Richard Spencer, founder of the “Alt. Right” himself has never publicly advocated for genocide. As Dan said in the podcast with Lalo, Richard’s website hosted an article written by someone who was musing about whether it was justifiable to commit genocide against minorities, the very minorities that were trying to “commit genocide against whites”, in self defense. But, this is hardly enough to prove Richard Spencer is advocating for, or even believes in, genocide.

Now, while Spencer is a white nationalist, anti-Semitic and opposes gay marriage, he rejects white supremacy and slavery and believes that whites are under threat of extinction and that a “peaceful ethnic cleansing” will save it. In comparison, the original Nazis believed the white race was better than all others and that it needed a strong leader with all the political and economic power to run the white state. Today, the “Alt. Right” or the “Nazi Lite” movement believe the white race isn’t better, but never-the-less is under threat of extinction and must separate from other races to survive and be run by a limited democracy with a free market economy.

Before I move onto the rest of Dan’s points, as I said before, I could end this article now and still have successfully refuted Dan’s main argument. But I will continue as I feel this kind of faulty reasoning needs to be fully addressed and taken down intellectually so we can stifle the bad ideas coming from both the far left and the far right and replace them with good ones.

Moving onto Dan’s next point: “Anyone that’s not a nazi but also advocates for genocide should also be punched.” Dan took this position during the Lalo Dagach podcast and it is obviously Dan’s attempt at rationalizing his position and being fair. But, I missed his blog “Should we be okay with punching Jihadists”. So, his sentiment, to be fair, is lost on me.

Dan’s third point: “The victim should be a person with a significant amount of power and influence.” Dan also made this point on the Lalo Dagach podcast. And all I can say is that the people that have high positions of power and influence in the Alt. Right and Neo-Nazi movements are these movements intellectuals. These people aren’t the unorganized and uneducated “fringe within a fringe” crazies that yell “kill the Jews” while assaulting minorities and homosexuals in rural America. Many are highly educated, and they are expecting to be assaulted by some SHARP (Skinhead Against Racial Prejudice) or ANTIFA gang member and they know just how to make an assault on them work in their favor. In fact, they are hoping to be punched by a far leftist, so they can fuel their “white genocide” and “white victim” narratives by uploading videos of themselves and fellow Nazi’s being assaulted onto YouTube.

The next point Dan made was: “Punching stops people who advocate for genocide from the pursuit of extending their power and influence because it strikes fear into them.” To address this point, I guess I would refer back to my contention with Dan’s last point that punching them empowers their self-victimization. Even if it weren’t true, and that punching people that advocate genocide in fact did scare them enough to stop them from sharing their ideas, that is not the world I want to live in. Nor does any other rationally sane person that doesn’t want to live in a fascist state that confronts bad ideas with fear and violence. Isn’t that the world liberals like Dan Arel are fighting against? Dan celebrates Spencer’s assault in his blog, writing that Spencer even hired bodyguards because he feels uncomfortable in public now. But, should we be celebrating the fact that we scared someone in the marketplace of ideas out of an unreasonable position, no matter how unreasonable their ideas are? Shouldn’t the marketplace of ideas be a place where we combat bad ideas with good ones?

Dan’s final point: “Slippery slope arguments fail because punching people who are advocating genocide is self defense or acting in defense of others.” Do we justify our active behaviors that we find contemptuous in others simply because we are acting in self defense? Wouldn’t that make us hypocrites? In his blog, Dan wrote this about slippery slope arguments:

“Nazism is an ideology based on white supremacy and the eradication, through genocide, of nonwhites (and many others). A Christian, for example, can believe an atheist is evil for not believing in their god and punch them. Their action, however, is unfounded. They punched an atheist based on an appeal to their emotions.

We know Nazism is evil. We know their goals, we know where their ideology leads. If you punch a Nazi, especially if you’re one of those marginalized and threatened by their ideology, you’re acting in self-defense. Even if you’re a white person punching a Nazi, you’re acting in the defense of others.

So the slippery slope analogy fails immediately here.”

According to Dan, punching a Nazi isn’t an appeal to one’s emotions, but because we know what Nazis believe and we have seen what they’ve done in history, we have all the justification we need to punch them. Following this logic, because Christians used to slaughter pagans and non-believers, and their holy texts still can be used to justify such acts of religious terror, we should go around punching highly influential Christians too. And are we really defending ourselves from someone if they aren’t acting on their belief and therefore actually threatening us in any real way? Wouldn’t that be defending ourselves from “pre-crime”? I don’t know about Dan, but I don’t want to live in a dystopian world where Tom Cruise is crashing through my window and arresting me for something I may do in the future. I believe in the American value of free speech and the freedom to believe or advocate for whatever you want. And, when and if you cross the line from belief into action, well, we have policemen and judges to deal with crimes that have actually been committed.

Before I wrap this up, there were a few other things Dan said that I would also like to address here. In his interview with Lalo, Dan had a glass half full optimism that these assaults on people who advocate genocide with a significant amount of power and influence will be carried out perfectly, meeting the exact criteria Dan spoke about during the podcast or that we as a society collectively deemed the correct criteria for assaulting these people, that is just starry eyed optimism. I instead, and regretfully, see things unfolding much differently. I think you’d see a huge spike in homicides, hate crimes, innocent bystanders such as “formers” like me who may still have an old racist or Nazi tattoo they haven’t removed or covered yet like a swastika being assaulted, behavior that Dan himself justified when he said:

“Having a Nazi symbol like a swastika on your shoulder means you identify with Nazism and therefore a person with that tattoo should be punched.”

I think you’d see a rise in overzealous teens start down a road of recidivism in our corrections system. You’d see all kinds of negative effects on society I think Dan is ignoring to make his points.

Lastly, Dan brought up the 80’s punk scene on the Lalo Dagach podcast and talked about white supremacists and skinheads showing up to punk shows causing trouble for the punk kids who grew up opposing Nazis because of this infamy during the 80’s punk scene. I’m assuming he brought up this personal anecdote to show us how disruptive Nazis can be on a society and on a culture, but I wasn’t sure why or how that strengthened his position? As a fan of punk and someone who lived in East Los Angeles during the 80’s punk scene, I know quite well about the disturbance skins created during this time in punk rock history. This is when the anti-racist and anti-fascist SHARP gangs were born. Gangs that were and still are just as violent and disruptive. Those are not times or ways we want to adopt for how we behave in the marketplace of ideas.

Dan wrote in his blog:

“I want to make this simple. A fist to the head is still the moral high ground when you’re punching someone advocating for genocide.

If you’re not a Nazi, you have the moral high ground.”

This sounds, to me, like virtue signaling. He does not give any evidence or arguments to support that statement. He just says we need to make them afraid to share their ideas. And as I said before, fear and violence should not be welcome in the marketplace of ideas. We need to combat bad ideas with better ones. With good ones.

To Dan’s credit, he admits peaceful rational discourse is still needed and that 9.9 times out of 10 he is non-violent. But I hope, if he reads this, he will see that not only is he wrong in assuming all Nazis advocate for ethnic genocide, but that we also need to give people their right to believe and promote whatever they want to in America without assaulting them. And I hope he will see that once you don’t, and you assault someone for their ideas, you become the authoritarian fascist monster you are against.

Be Fearless. Be Free.

Some stolen US military guns used in violent crimes (AP) Pulling a pistol from his waistband, the young man spun his human shield toward police. “Don’t do it!” a pursuing officer pleaded. The young man complied, releasing the bystander and tossing the gun, which skittered across the city street and then into the hands of police. They soon learned that the 9mm Beretta had a rap sheet. Bullet casings linked it to four shootings, all of them in Albany, New York. And there was something else. The pistol was U.S. Army property, a weapon intended for use against America’s enemies, not on its streets. The Army couldn’t say how its Beretta M9 got to New York’s capital. Until the June 2018 police foot chase, the Army didn’t even realize someone had stolen the gun. Inventory records checked by investigators said the M9 was 600 miles away—safe inside Fort Bragg, North Carolina.      In the first public accounting of its kind in decades, an Associated Press investigation has found that at least 1,900 U.S. military firearms were lost or stolen during the 2010s, with some resurfacing in violent crimes. Because some armed services have suppressed the release of basic information, AP’s total is a certain undercount. Government records covering the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force show pistols, machine guns, shotguns and automatic assault rifles have vanished from armories, supply warehouses, Navy warships, firing ranges and other places where they were used, stored or transported. These weapons of war disappeared because of unlocked doors, sleeping troops, a surveillance system that didn’t record, break-ins and other security lapses that, until now, have not been publicly reported. While AP’s focus was firearms, military explosives also were lost or stolen, including armor-piercing grenades that ended up in an Atlanta backyard.

U.S. workers are among the most stressed in the world, new Gallup report finds (CNBC) U.S. workers are some of the most stressed employees in the world, according to Gallup’s latest State of the Global Workplace report, which captures how people are feeling about work and life in the past year. U.S. and Canadian workers, whose survey data are combined in Gallup’s research, ranked highest for daily stress levels of all groups surveyed. Some 57% of U.S. and Canadian workers reported feeling stress on a daily basis, up by eight percentage points from the year prior and compared with 43% of people who feel that way globally, according to Gallup’s 2021 report. This spike isn’t surprising to Jim Harter, Gallup’s chief workplace scientist, who tells CNBC Make It that rates of daily stress, worry, sadness and anger have been trending upward for American workers since 2009. Concerns over the virus, sickness, financial insecurity and racial trauma all contributed to added stress during the pandemic.

Jobs crisis? (WZTV Nashville) Right now, Tennessee’s Jobs4TN portal lists 257,000 jobs available in every part of the state. Still, in the week of June 5, there remained 50,054 claiming unemployment in the state, multiple times the pre-pandemic levels. Sure seems like a jobs crisis, yeah? Not so fast: as it happens, just 3 percent of the jobs posted, or around 8,500 jobs, pay more than $20,000, which is below the $22,000 poverty line for a family of three.

After enrollment dips, public schools hope for fall rebound (AP) Ashley Pearce’s daughter was set to start kindergarten last year in Maryland’s Montgomery County school system. But when it became clear that the year would begin online, Pearce found a nearby Catholic school offering in-person instruction and made the switch. Now Pearce is grappling with a big question: Should her child return to the local public school? She’s hesitant to uproot her daughter after she’s made friends, and Pearce worries that the district might go fully virtual again if there’s an uptick in coronavirus cases. “It’s going to be fine if we stay where we are, and that stability for my family is probably the way we’re going to go.” As many parents across the U.S. weigh the same concerns, school districts that lost enrollment during the pandemic are looking anxiously to the fall to see how many families stick with the education choices they made over the last year. In hopes of attracting students, many districts have launched new efforts to connect with families with young children, including blanketing communities with yard signs and enlisting bus drivers to call parents. There are early signs that enrollment may not fully rebound, and the stakes are high. If enrollment does not recover, public schools that lose students eventually could see funding cuts, though pandemic relief money is boosting budgets for now.

Biden, E.U. end 17-year Airbus-Boeing trade dispute (Washington Post) President Biden and European Union leaders reached a deal Tuesday to put to rest a 17-year-old trade dispute about subsidies for aircraft manufacturers, officials said, a significant step in calming trade relations after the fury of the Trump years. A five-year truce, which was announced at a meeting Tuesday in Brussels between Biden and the top leaders of E.U. institutions, was the latest effort in a transatlantic reconciliation tour that the new president started last week at the Group of Seven summit in Britain. Tuesday’s deal will quell fears that the E.U. and the United States could hit each other with tariffs on goods as varied as French wine and Harley-Davidson motorcycles, as they did in recent years as part of the airplane subsidy dispute, which involves Boeing and Airbus.

Vaccine passports: Why Europe loves them and the US loathes them (Christian Science Monitor) Back in 1992, Yiannis Klouvas converted an old cinema into the Blue Lagoon restaurant, which garnered a strong reputation for live music. There is no music now. The business, like so many others on the Greek island of Rhodes, is struggling due to the pandemic’s restrictions on travel. “If we see a tourist on the street these days,” he says, “we take a photo to remember them.” Mr. Klouvas is now banking on the EU Digital COVID Certificate, also known as the “green passport,” to save the summer. Starting July 1, all EU member states will accept the certificates as proof of COVID-19 vaccination, a recent negative test, or recovery from the disease. The plan got a resounding yes at the European Parliament on June 9. All EU member states, Liechtenstein, and Norway will implement the passport. But across the Atlantic, the idea faces strong head winds, whether for travel or domestic use. The Biden administration has ruled out introducing vaccination passports, and some states even ban them. Prioritizing freedom and fears of government overreach underpin the rejection of vaccine certificates in the U.S., while European societies have grappled more with issues of privacy and fairness. And so as Western countries savor a return to the old, this phase of post-pandemic mobility is being shaped by cultural attitudes. According to Anders Herlitz, a researcher at Sweden’s Institute for Futures Studies, “Here in the EU, the vaccine passports are seen as a necessary evil to get rid of other, much more extensive, limitations to people’s freedom, whereas in the U.S., they would not help getting rid of other limitations, but only cause new limitations.”

Biden, Putin aired differences at a high-stakes summit but agree on little (Washington Post) President Biden said he pressed Russian President Vladimir Putin over alleged hacking, human rights abuses and other troubling issues in a historic first summit in Geneva on Wednesday. The meetings, spanning only a few hours in the Swiss lakeside city known as the "capital of peace," were too short to allow for much more than an accounting of both sides' complaints. Biden and Putin declared the event a success, mostly for having met at all at a time when relations between the world's two greatest nuclear powers are at a post-Cold War low. Putin called the talks productive. At his post-summit news conference, he said he and Biden agreed to return their ambassadors to their respective posts in Washington and Moscow. Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov and U.S. Ambassador John Sullivan have been away from their missions for months.

Car bomb explosion at Colombia military base injures 36 (Reuters) In the Colombian border city of Cucuta, two men drove a white Toyota truck into the military base after passing themselves off as officials. According to the Defence Minister Diego Molano, the hypothesis is that the National Liberation Army guerrillas are to blame but the attack is still being investigated. Despite a 2016 peace deal with Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebels, Colombia’s military continues to battle National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrillas, crime gangs and former FARC members who reject the accord.

Peru’s election (Foreign Policy) Pedro Castillo finally claimed victory in Peru’s presidential election on Tuesday, over a week after Peruvians casted their votes. Although electoral authorities have yet to officially announce the results, final ballot totals saw Castillo earn just over 44,000 votes more than his conservative challenger Keiko Fujimori—who has alleged fraud in the face of likely defeat. If the election is officially called in Castillo’s favor, this will be the third presidential race Fujimori has lost. As legal challenges to the vote accumulate, it could be days or possibly weeks before an official winner is announced.

China set to send first crew to new space station Thursday (AP) The three members of the first crew to be sent to China’s space station say they’re eager to get to work making their home for the next three months habitable, setting up testing and experiments and preparing for a series of spacewalks. The three met with reporters Wednesday from inside a germ-free glassed-in room, hours before they were to blast off on Thursday morning. Thursday’s launch begins the first crewed space mission in five years for an increasingly ambitious space program. China has sent 11 astronauts into space since becoming the third country to so so on its own in 2003, and has sent orbiters and rovers to the moon and Mars.

North Korea’s Kim says food situation ‘tense’ due to pandemic, typhoons (Reuters) North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has said the country’s economy improved this year but called for measures to tackle the “tense” food situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic and last year’s typhoons, state media said on Wednesday. In January, Kim said his previous five-year economic plan had failed in almost every sector, amid chronic power and food shortages exacerbated by sanctions, the pandemic and floods. North Korea has not officially confirmed any COVID-19 cases, a claim questioned by Seoul officials. But the reclusive country has imposed strict anti-virus measures including border closures and domestic travel restrictions.

Lebanon’s crisis threatens one of its few unifiers, the army (AP) Since the civil war, through wars with Israel, militant bombings and domestic turmoil, Lebanese have considered their military as an anchor for stability, one of the only institutions standing above the country’s divisions. But the military is now threatened by Lebanon’s devastating financial collapse, which the World Bank has said is likely to rank as one of the worst the world has seen in the past 150 years. The economic meltdown is putting unprecedented pressure on the U.S.-backed army’s operational abilities, wiping out soldiers’ salaries and wrecking morale. The deterioration puts at risk one of the few forces unifying Lebanon at a time when sectarian tensions and crime are on the rise amid the population’s deepening poverty. The military itself has raised the alarm, unusual for a force that is perhaps unique in the Middle East in that it largely remains outside politics. Army chief Gen. Joseph Aoun warned in a speech to officers in March that soldiers were “suffering and hungry like the rest of the people.” A senior army official confirmed to The Associated Press that the economic situation has greatly affected morale. “There is no doubt that there is great resentment among the ranks of the military,” the official said.

Israeli airstrikes hit Gaza (Washington Post) On Tuesday, hundreds of ultranationalist demonstrators bearing Israeli flags marched into Jerusalem’s Old City, with some youths chanting, “Death to Arabs!” and “May your village burn,” according to the Associated Press. Hamas responded by launching incendiary balloons that crossed into the country from Hamas-controlled territory, and Israel responded with airstrikes on Gaza. Hamas “is responsible for all events transpiring in the Gaza Strip, and will bear the consequences for its actions,” the IDF said. It said Israel was “prepared for any scenario, including a resumption of hostilities.” There were no immediate reports of casualties from the airstrike. Israeli authorities reported that the incendiary balloons had sparked 20 fires near the Gaza border. (Foreign Policy) The renewed Israeli bombings come as support for Hamas has undergone a “dramatic” shift, according to a recent poll. 53 percent of Palestinians now see Hamas as the “most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people,” while only 14 percent of those surveyed held Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party in the same esteem.

Saudi Embassy has helped its citizens facing criminal charges flee the United States (Washington Post) On the night of Oct. 13, 2018, Raekwon Moore was stabbed during a street fight with two strangers in the popular Uptown district of Greenville, N.C. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died. Police quickly apprehended and questioned Abdullah Hariri and Sultan Alsuhaymi, both citizens of Saudi Arabia, whom eyewitnesses and surveillance camera footage placed at the scene of the Saturday night brawl. Initially, police thought the men may have acted in self-defense and released them from custody. After further investigation, prosecutors charged both with first-degree murder. But Hariri and Alsuhaymi will probably never stand trial, because days after their alleged crime and before they were charged, they left the country and returned to Saudi Arabia, which has no extradition treaty with the United States. The murder charges against Hariri and Alsuhaymi are the most serious known against dozens of Saudi citizens, many of them students, who are wanted in the United States; their alleged offenses include first-degree manslaughter, vehicular hit-and-run, rape and possession of child pornography. Many fled to their homeland with the assistance of Saudi officials. The FBI has concluded that Saudi government officials “almost certainly assist US-based Saudi citizens in fleeing the United States to avoid legal issues, undermining the US judicial process,” according to an intelligence bulletin issued in August 2019. At the Saudi Embassy in Washington, that assistance has been overseen by a mid-level official who has managed a network of American criminal defense lawyers and self-described “fixers” paid to keep Saudis charged with crimes out of prison, an investigation by The Post has found.

Meetings with Mayonnaise and White People

by Don Hall

There’s no question that following WWII Communism was a legitimate threat to the United States. Global positioning of military, spies on both sides, nuclear domination was at stake. It was a scary time. Intertwined with the anger and fear was a pernicious thread within that, in response to the national angst, in turn poisoned the reasonable fear with demagoguery. Born from that was the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).

There is no question today that the time has come for the United States to deal fairly and effectively with the demonization and wholesale deprivation of black Americans in our country. Both the stories we hear and the data we parse through is a damning indictment of righteous laws written only to be enforced by the bigots who fought so hard against them.

It is hard, however, to see a cause so fundamentally right and long overdue be intertwined with demagoguery.

You’ve recommended Robin DiAngelo’s book on white fragility but you haven’t read it, have you? You regularly use the terms “systemic racism” and “anti-racist” but you haven’t waded through any of Derrick Bell or Ibram X. Kendri, amiright?

When it comes to Critical Race Theory, I was an early adopter. I dove into Bell’s Faces at the Bottom of the Well in 1997. At the time I thought it was interesting but flawed and good red meat philosophy for the college campus.

By 2016 I was twice divorced and living with an avowed anti-racist activist whose godfather was 1960’s radical revolutionary Bill Ayers. I saw America and specifically white Americans as fundamentally racist.

Following the third of three blow out breakups with her I had what was to be my final mentoring lunch with The Moth’s resident Latina storyteller.

“Racist is a term that includes anyone benefitting from a racist system,” I mentioned as the conversation turned to Chicago’s history of gentrification. “Bigotry is individual but all white Americans are racist by definition.”

“Even you?” she asked.

“I’m white so, by definition, I’m racist. I don’t think I’m a bigot, though.”

A month or so later, after coming to the fact that her own personal insecurities and need for a following had sent her head first into a path of radical indoctrination, I unfriended her on social media. All hell broke loose. She had people call and text me with threats of violence. She manufactured several fake Facebook accounts, had them engage her real account with insults, and then claimed I had created the fake accounts. She posted a video of her emoting heavily over the fakeness of my friendship.

One of her most potent missives to her following went something like this:

Don Hall is a racist! He even admitted it to me!! He is a confessed racist!!

I should’ve seen it coming.

Now, if this were the fifties, the HUAC could’ve branded me a communist or at least a communist sympathizer.

“Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” 

“No, sir.”

“Have you ever read the works of Karl Marx?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Have you ever attended a meeting with communists?”

“No meetings -“

“Parties?”

“Parties...?”

“Yes. Meetings with alcohol. And communists.”

“...yeah...”

This guilt-by-association thing was the most damning and pervasive aspect of the HUAC and led to blacklisting, careers destroyed, terrified citizens quickly falling to their knees in supplication and naming names to avoid the stigma of being labeled a Commie.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines McCarthyism as "the political practice of publicizing accusations of disloyalty or subversion with insufficient regard to evidence." No one subpoenaed by the HUAC was ever convicted of being communist but a fair number were fined and jailed for refusing to play along. With the definition of who was or was not a communist being so open-ended and ill-defined, only those who either declared their fealty to anti-communism or named names were spared.

My guess is that if Senator Joseph McCarthy had had a Twitter account, his damage to the individual lives he publicly destroyed would’ve been a thousand times worse.

Mind you, the #BlackLivesMatter organization has very specific goals and outline them clearly. The Racial HUAC does not include them or, I’d suggest, the vast majority of those out there in protest.

Several arguments today, in the McCarthyism in Blackface, do their best to minimize the damage done. 

There is the thread that claims that those who are publicly accused of racism who then are fired from long-held jobs are just fine. Losing a job isn’t the end of the world, it is argued. I’d argue you go back and stream “The Front,” “Trumbo,” or “Good Night and Good Luck” and tell yourself how fine these people have it.

There is the claim that, in these sorts of cultural shifts, there is always some collateral damage. The term “collateral damage” comes from the Viet Nam conflict as a way to dehumanize and minimize the killing of non-combatants (also a dehumanizing term meaning “innocent people”) and accidental destruction of non-military property. The idea of there being collateral damage in the current culture shift is nice and abstract unless you are the collateral being damaged.

The troubles with our current cultural push is in exactly the lack of specifics and false justifications. Mind you, the #BlackLivesMatter organization has very specific goals and outline them clearly. The Racial HUAC does not include them or, I’d suggest, the vast majority of those out there in protest. While these protests represent a tiny slice of the population (polls suggest that the serious majority of Americans trust the police force and have no interest whatsoever in abolishing it; they are more in tune with the idea of substantive reform) the effect of these marches are showing some measure of progressive gain.

The RHUAC is motivated to upend the power dynamic completely and their means is in a definitive lack of specifics.

Structural racism is both quantifiable and data-proven. Organizational bylaws, economic measures taken, the laws of the land. Corporate hiring practices, diversity initiatives, and funding of public schools. These are structural and we can fix these things.

Systemic racism means that everything in the system of society is racist by default. It is racism in the gaps much like God’s will is divinity in the gaps. Prior to the Enlightenment, when someone couldn’t explain why something happened or offer proof one way or another, it was boiled down to Divine Providence. The Will of God.

Today, when something cannot be explained in terms of racial disparity, it is boiled down to systemic racism. White people are racist so anything that demonstrates a different outcome from black people (and strangely absent from disparities between Latin and Asian people) is, by default, racist.

For example, a common stereotype is that while white people generally prefer mayonnaise, black people generally prefer mild sauce. No big deal. Maybe it indicates that whites are more bland in their condiment choices while black people like things a bit spicier. Under the Derrick Bell theory, this is due specifically to white supremacy. How? Who the fuck knows aside from any difference between whites and blacks is automatically racist.

OK. You didn’t read any of Bell’s work. Here’s a quick breakdown of a few central tenets of his worldview:

Critical Race Theory believes racism is present in every aspect of life, every relationship, and every interaction and therefore has its advocates look for it everywhere. He posits a theory called “interest convergence” which states that reforms in the supremicist system are only created for black people when they also benefit white people thus no reform instigated by whites is to be trusted.

According to Bell science, reason, and evidence are a “white” way of knowing and that storytelling and lived experience is a “black” alternative. Pointing out logical exceptions to that lived experience is a sure sign of systemic racism.

As I wrote earlier, it’s a rather brilliant narrative frame. The RHUAC doesn’t have to define any behavior as racist or not because everything is racist when white. Everything. 

“Are you now or have you ever been a racist?” 

“No, sir.”

“Have you ever attended a meeting with white people?”

“Sure —“

“Parties?”

“Parties...?”

“Yes. Meetings with mayonnaise. And white people.”

“...yeah...mayonnaise...?”

“Are you white?”

In the 1950s most Americans were easily manipulated by the fear of Communism. In schools, children learned to “duck and cover.” The Red Scare was pushed on national media and the blind terror of bucking the system and refusing to play along with the game of public accusations of subversion was too great. This was a threat to the American Way of Life, they were told. Commies could be your next door neighbor, they were told. And they believed.

Today we are faced with another manipulation that far too many right thinking people are buying — that “white” equals “racist” without regard to behavior. To be white is to be fully complicit which is both ludicrous and horrifying to consider. There is a cult mind at play with racial hucksters driving an unrelenting academic campaign to grab power through money and influence. No subpoenas necessary, no Congressional hearings.

I grew up watching the movies about McCarthy and his crusade. I’ve read the manifestos of the zealots behind the Red Scare. I’ve read the theories behind the White Scare. They’re too similar for me.

How to Avoid Injury from an ATV Accident

All-terrain vehicles, commonly known as ATVs, are used for both work and play. Farmers use ATVs to monitor livestock, inspect farmland and more. ATVs are also used for recreational purposes just about anywhere: off-road, mountainous, rural and even coastal terrain. Unfortunately, ATV accidents are common and a personal injury lawyer can help navigate the legality and fault of an ATV-related injury.

ATV Injuries and Accidents

Flipping or rolling is the most common type of injury-causing accident involving an ATV. When this happens, an ATV driver and passenger can be thrown off the vehicle or pinned down by it. Even though ATVs aren’t designed to carry passengers on the back area, people still regularly used to do so. This simple action puts both the driver and the passenger at higher risk of experiencing an accident. Because ATVs are able to drive just about anywhere, accidents are often caused by drivers traveling over dangerous bumpy roads with loose gravel and inconsistent terrain. This factor alone can contribute to a driver being knocked off of the traveling ATV.

ATV Safety Tips

To reduce the occurrence of an ATV accident, there are several steps that should be taken. It’s important to wear a helmet, appropriate footwear, and other protective gear when driving an ATV. Read an ATV’s operating manual prior to driving it. Be sure you know the path, dirt road, or the terrain that you navigate your ATV so that you don’t strike something unexpected. Check local and state regulations governing ATV use. Never allow young children to drive an ATV and never drive an ATV while using drugs or drinking alcohol. Additionally, make sure you have at least one working communication device with you when driving an ATV, so help can be called in an emergency. If an ATV accident occurs, contact a personal injury lawyer for further assistance or legal advice. ATV-related injuries are common and can result from a variety of situations and actions. State and federal laws govern manufacturers and sellers. If laws were not observed, a manufacturer or seller may be responsible for an ATV accident. If you are suffering from an ATV-related accident, you may be entitled to compensation for expenses and damages caused by your injury. Contact a personal injury lawyer to evaluate your options.

Common Injuries from ATV Accidents

While you may face unique damages, and no two accidents are identical, there are some common recurring injuries reported from ATV accidents: • Physical Bodily Injuries: Bodily injuries, fractures, and broken bones commonly arise from an ATV colliding into a pedestrian. Bodily injuries are a traumatic and unfortunate occurrence, and you may seek monetary compensation from the liable party in order to help cover medical costs, recovery, and therapy, disability, lost wages, and pain and suffering damages. Pain and suffering damages includes psychological and emotional trauma in the wake of your accident, and can take the form of anxiety, stress, fear, depression, and aversion to previously normal activities. • Brain Damage: In any vehicle-related accident, including ATVs, there can commonly be whiplash or some sort of violent physical force to the head area. Brain damage is a serious injury that can have severe immediate and long-term consequences. Speak with an experienced personal injury attorney immediately after seeking medical attention in order to learn your rights and have your attorney begin to form your case in order to seek to hold the ATV driver liable. • Paralysis: In extreme circumstances, ATV accidents can cause full or partial body spinal cord and neck injuries, potentially resulting in paralysis. This is an extremely tragic consequence of ATV accidents, and you may seek compensation from the at fault party in order to cover medical and rehabilitation costs, as well as disability and pain and suffering in order to seek your greatest health and recovery going forward. After you have been injured by an ATV, health and recovery should be your priority. Thus, getting legal help from an experienced attorney can help lessen the stress of the situation and help get your life headed back in the right direction.

Filing A Claim For An ATV Accident

• File a Police Report / Take Detailed Notes: After seeking immediate expert medical attention, you should file a police report, if necessary. This will serve as a note from a government official of what they observed at the accident scene. If the accident has already happened and you have not filed a police report, this may not be fatal to your claim, however, as your attorney can help gather evidence after the fact. Further, you will want to write down the details of what happened from your perspective at the incident. After an accident, many people experience trauma, and thus, may not fully remember the incident after the fact. Moreover, your attorney can use your detailed notes in deciding which witnesses to speak to, and what other evidence from the scene to seek in order to strengthen your case. • Speak With an Experienced Accident Attorney: You should contact an ATV accident attorney as quickly after the incident as possible. An attorney can help secure crucial evidence through in depth investigations, and may know which evidence is useful in demonstrating the other parties fault, as well as the extent of your damages. Knowing how to seek the right evidence is highly useful in recreating what happened at the accident scene and establishing the fault of the other party. Upon enlisting attorney counsel, your attorney can inform you of your legal rights, and can conduct in depth investigations to uncover evidence that may not be easily accessible or attainable. Your attorney may also conduct witness interviews, and use legal subpoenas and the discovery process to gain important evidence in seeking compensation for you. It is highly important upon any serious ATV injury that you heal and recover. Retaining an experienced attorney can give you peace of mind while your attorney takes the lead on your case, corresponding and negotiating with the other parties on your behalf.

• Filing of a Lawsuit: Your attorney may file a legal claim with the court, alleging the other parties fault, containing a synthesis and story about how you were injured, and upon serving the adverse party, may engage in settlement negotiations with the other party based on the evidence gathered. • Settlement Negotiations: In some cases, the other party, foreseeing a loss at trial in light of the evidence your attorney finds or fearing extended legal costs, may attempt to settle the case for a set monetary amount. This is equally true of the insurance companies involved in the claim as well. Your attorney can negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf to seek your greatest compensation. • Trial: In other cases, your attorney may perceive the greatest likelihood of capturing your greatest compensation might be by taking your case before a jury at trial. Your attorney can work in your best interests and on your behalf, working to demonstrate the full extent of your injuries and the other party’s fault before the court. An experienced attorney should have courtroom experience to anticipate what types of evidence the judge and jury will be most responsive to.

Legal Time Period

You will likely have a timeframe from the time of the accident to bring a lawsuit against the wrongdoing party, and if you do not bring the claim during that time period, you may be prevented from ever bringing your lawsuit against them. In many states the time period will be around two years, but you should seek an attorney’s advisement to learn the specific legal time period in your case. Thus, it is imperative to seek counsel from an experienced attorney immediately following your ATV injury, so that your attorney can educate you of your legal rights and begin to collect and compile crucial evidence in demonstrating the other party’s fault and proving your case.

On Trumpism

* raw Twitter thread conversion … I may come back and do a proper workup.

Trump was a formula … not a force, a tool … not a tyrant.

If your focus remains on that puffy little can of Orange Blush, you are missing the core of the challenge we face in defending our forefathers Tree of Liberty.

You are no longer contributing to the fight.

Worse than this, you encourage others to be distracted by this fool (whom we all wish punished for his treasonous actions against this great nation and its people).

Thinking him the target, the threat, the finish line … you hold in your blind spot the next to step up.

The infrastructure is there for any and all willing to use it.

An entire base, fully extracted from reality and inserted into a fabrication authored by a GOP hell bent on oligarchy … minority rule set in stone.

It is not Trump that binds together the modern GOP.

It is the desire to control a populace that no longer reflects their tribal, racial caste system ideology.

This is the decade when White officially becomes outnumbered by the sum of non-White in this nation.

We cannot return to the politics of our past simply because we took the seats … took the office.

The greatest threat was never the folks filling those seats … holding that office.

The greatest threat was (and is) the machinery manufacturing a base to enable those folks.

Your browser does not support the video tag.

If you don’t see the demographical inflection point at play…

see that Trumpism has nothing to do with the man or his family…

but everything to do with an old white regime desperate to stave off obsolescence,

you’re missing the forest …

enthralled by the trees.

Punish that m0therf$&ker … mercilessly …

but also realize that there is work to be done …

work that looks different from anything you’ve been asked to do before.

More than 22 million of our populace has had their fears…

their worldview rigidity…

their hardships…

their ignorance…

their susceptibility to propaganda and cult phenomena…

exploited by nefarious men in order to further their un-American agenda.

Democracy isn’t compatible with a dual reality configuration.

It requires common ground.

Common ground requires a common reality.

Punish the m0therf$&ker … for doing so does not impede outreach.

The tribe has spoken … needle … fixed.

It’s no longer about billboards.

It is about cult member extraction.

It is about the return of the victimized to their families … to our shared reality.

You don’t have to stop hating them to see the value of such an effort.

Each soul we reach is lost forever to the GQP.

Each soul we reach is one more person marking their availability as unavailable when asked to join up for the next tour through Capitol grounds.

Where justice is concerned…

where accountability is concerned…

f$&king get after it.

Make examples of them for future generations…

examples we shall include in our lesson plans when teaching our children’s children the history of this nation’s Tree of Liberty.

Where politics are concerned…

if you are finding yourself running the same plays that worked for us last year…

you’re doin’ it wrong…

for you’ve failed to see the forest through the trees.

How to Avoid Injury from an ATV Accident

All-terrain vehicles, commonly known as ATVs, are used for both work and play. Farmers use ATVs to monitor livestock, inspect farmland and more. ATVs are also used for recreational purposes just about anywhere: off-road, mountainous, rural and even coastal terrain. Unfortunately, ATV accidents are common and a personal injury lawyer can help navigate the legality and fault of an ATV-related injury.

ATV Injuries and Accidents

Flipping or rolling is the most common type of injury-causing accident involving an ATV. When this happens, an ATV driver and passenger can be thrown off the vehicle or pinned down by it. Even though ATVs aren’t designed to carry passengers on the back area, people still regularly used to do so. This simple action puts both the driver and the passenger at higher risk of experiencing an accident. Because ATVs are able to drive just about anywhere, accidents are often caused by drivers traveling over dangerous bumpy roads with loose gravel and inconsistent terrain. This factor alone can contribute to a driver being knocked off of the traveling ATV.

ATV Safety Tips

To reduce the occurrence of an ATV accident, there are several steps that should be taken. It’s important to wear a helmet, appropriate footwear, and other protective gear when driving an ATV. Read an ATV’s operating manual prior to driving it. Be sure you know the path, dirt road, or the terrain that you navigate your ATV so that you don’t strike something unexpected. Check local and state regulations governing ATV use. Never allow young children to drive an ATV and never drive an ATV while using drugs or drinking alcohol. Additionally, make sure you have at least one working communication device with you when driving an ATV, so help can be called in an emergency. If an ATV accident occurs, contact a personal injury lawyer for further assistance or legal advice. ATV-related injuries are common and can result from a variety of situations and actions. State and federal laws govern manufacturers and sellers. If laws were not observed, a manufacturer or seller may be responsible for an ATV accident. If you are suffering from an ATV-related accident, you may be entitled to compensation for expenses and damages caused by your injury. Contact a personal injury lawyer to evaluate your options.

Common Injuries from ATV Accidents

While you may face unique damages, and no two accidents are identical, there are some common recurring injuries reported from ATV accidents: • Physical Bodily Injuries: Bodily injuries, fractures, and broken bones commonly arise from an ATV colliding into a pedestrian. Bodily injuries are a traumatic and unfortunate occurrence, and you may seek monetary compensation from the liable party in order to help cover medical costs, recovery, and therapy, disability, lost wages, and pain and suffering damages. Pain and suffering damages includes psychological and emotional trauma in the wake of your accident, and can take the form of anxiety, stress, fear, depression, and aversion to previously normal activities. • Brain Damage: In any vehicle-related accident, including ATVs, there can commonly be whiplash or some sort of violent physical force to the head area. Brain damage is a serious injury that can have severe immediate and long-term consequences. Speak with an experienced personal injury attorney immediately after seeking medical attention in order to learn your rights and have your attorney begin to form your case in order to seek to hold the ATV driver liable. • Paralysis: In extreme circumstances, ATV accidents can cause full or partial body spinal cord and neck injuries, potentially resulting in paralysis. This is an extremely tragic consequence of ATV accidents, and you may seek compensation from the at fault party in order to cover medical and rehabilitation costs, as well as disability and pain and suffering in order to seek your greatest health and recovery going forward. After you have been injured by an ATV, health and recovery should be your priority. Thus, getting legal help from an experienced attorney can help lessen the stress of the situation and help get your life headed back in the right direction.

Filing A Claim For An ATV Accident

• File a Police Report / Take Detailed Notes: After seeking immediate expert medical attention, you should file a police report, if necessary. This will serve as a note from a government official of what they observed at the accident scene. If the accident has already happened and you have not filed a police report, this may not be fatal to your claim, however, as your attorney can help gather evidence after the fact. Further, you will want to write down the details of what happened from your perspective at the incident. After an accident, many people experience trauma, and thus, may not fully remember the incident after the fact. Moreover, your attorney can use your detailed notes in deciding which witnesses to speak to, and what other evidence from the scene to seek in order to strengthen your case. • Speak With an Experienced Accident Attorney: You should contact an ATV accident attorney as quickly after the incident as possible. An attorney can help secure crucial evidence through in depth investigations, and may know which evidence is useful in demonstrating the other parties fault, as well as the extent of your damages. Knowing how to seek the right evidence is highly useful in recreating what happened at the accident scene and establishing the fault of the other party. Upon enlisting attorney counsel, your attorney can inform you of your legal rights, and can conduct in depth investigations to uncover evidence that may not be easily accessible or attainable. Your attorney may also conduct witness interviews, and use legal subpoenas and the discovery process to gain important evidence in seeking compensation for you. It is highly important upon any serious ATV injury that you heal and recover. Retaining an experienced attorney can give you peace of mind while your attorney takes the lead on your case, corresponding and negotiating with the other parties on your behalf.

• Filing of a Lawsuit: Your attorney may file a legal claim with the court, alleging the other parties fault, containing a synthesis and story about how you were injured, and upon serving the adverse party, may engage in settlement negotiations with the other party based on the evidence gathered. • Settlement Negotiations: In some cases, the other party, foreseeing a loss at trial in light of the evidence your attorney finds or fearing extended legal costs, may attempt to settle the case for a set monetary amount.

How to Avoid Injury from an ATV Accident

All-terrain vehicles, commonly known as ATVs, are used for both work and play. Farmers use ATVs to monitor livestock, inspect farmland and more. ATVs are also used for recreational purposes just about anywhere: off-road, mountainous, rural and even coastal terrain. Unfortunately, ATV accidents are common and a personal injury lawyer can help navigate the legality and fault of an ATV-related injury.

ATV Injuries and Accidents

Flipping or rolling is the most common type of injury-causing accident involving an ATV. When this happens, an ATV driver and passenger can be thrown off the vehicle or pinned down by it. Even though ATVs aren’t designed to carry passengers on the back area, people still regularly used to do so. This simple action puts both the driver and the passenger at higher risk of experiencing an accident. Because ATVs are able to drive just about anywhere, accidents are often caused by drivers traveling over dangerous bumpy roads with loose gravel and inconsistent terrain. This factor alone can contribute to a driver being knocked off of the traveling ATV.

ATV Safety Tips

To reduce the occurrence of an ATV accident, there are several steps that should be taken. It’s important to wear a helmet, appropriate footwear, and other protective gear when driving an ATV. Read an ATV’s operating manual prior to driving it. Be sure you know the path, dirt road, or the terrain that you navigate your ATV so that you don’t strike something unexpected. Check local and state regulations governing ATV use. Never allow young children to drive an ATV and never drive an ATV while using drugs or drinking alcohol. Additionally, make sure you have at least one working communication device with you when driving an ATV, so help can be called in an emergency. If an ATV accident occurs, contact a personal injury lawyer for further assistance or legal advice. ATV-related injuries are common and can result from a variety of situations and actions. State and federal laws govern manufacturers and sellers. If laws were not observed, a manufacturer or seller may be responsible for an ATV accident. If you are suffering from an ATV-related accident, you may be entitled to compensation for expenses and damages caused by your injury. Contact a personal injury lawyer to evaluate your options.

Common Injuries from ATV Accidents

While you may face unique damages, and no two accidents are identical, there are some common recurring injuries reported from ATV accidents: • Physical Bodily Injuries: Bodily injuries, fractures, and broken bones commonly arise from an ATV colliding into a pedestrian. Bodily injuries are a traumatic and unfortunate occurrence, and you may seek monetary compensation from the liable party in order to help cover medical costs, recovery, and therapy, disability, lost wages, and pain and suffering damages. Pain and suffering damages includes psychological and emotional trauma in the wake of your accident, and can take the form of anxiety, stress, fear, depression, and aversion to previously normal activities. • Brain Damage: In any vehicle-related accident, including ATVs, there can commonly be whiplash or some sort of violent physical force to the head area. Brain damage is a serious injury that can have severe immediate and long-term consequences. Speak with an experienced personal injury attorney immediately after seeking medical attention in order to learn your rights and have your attorney begin to form your case in order to seek to hold the ATV driver liable. • Paralysis: In extreme circumstances, ATV accidents can cause full or partial body spinal cord and neck injuries, potentially resulting in paralysis. This is an extremely tragic consequence of ATV accidents, and you may seek compensation from the at fault party in order to cover medical and rehabilitation costs, as well as disability and pain and suffering in order to seek your greatest health and recovery going forward. After you have been injured by an ATV, health and recovery should be your priority.

• Filing of a Lawsuit: Your attorney may file a legal claim with the court, alleging the other parties fault, containing a synthesis and story about how you were injured, and upon serving the adverse party, may engage in settlement negotiations with the other party based on the evidence gathered. • Settlement Negotiations: In some cases, the other party, foreseeing a loss at trial in light of the evidence your attorney finds or fearing extended legal costs, may attempt to settle the case for a set monetary amount. This is equally true of the insurance companies involved in the claim as well. Your attorney can negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf to seek your greatest compensation. • Trial: In other cases, your attorney may perceive the greatest likelihood of capturing your greatest compensation might be by taking your case before a jury at trial. Your attorney can work in your best interests and on your behalf, working to demonstrate the full extent of your injuries and the other party’s fault before the court. An experienced attorney should have courtroom experience to anticipate what types of evidence the judge and jury will be most responsive to.

You will likely have a timeframe from the time of the accident to bring a lawsuit against the wrongdoing party, and if you do not bring the claim during that time period, you may be prevented from ever bringing your lawsuit against them. In many states the time period will be around two years, but you should seek an attorney’s advisement to learn the specific legal time period in your case.

How to Avoid Injury from an ATV Accident

All-terrain vehicles, commonly known as ATVs, are used for both work and play. Farmers use ATVs to monitor livestock, inspect farmland and more. ATVs are also used for recreational purposes just about anywhere: off-road, mountainous, rural and even coastal terrain. Unfortunately, ATV accidents are common and a personal injury lawyer can help navigate the legality and fault of an ATV-related injury.

ATV Injuries and Accidents

Flipping or rolling is the most common type of injury-causing accident involving an ATV. When this happens, an ATV driver and passenger can be thrown off the vehicle or pinned down by it. Even though ATVs aren’t designed to carry passengers on the back area, people still regularly used to do so. This simple action puts both the driver and the passenger at higher risk of experiencing an accident. Because ATVs are able to drive just about anywhere, accidents are often caused by drivers traveling over dangerous bumpy roads with loose gravel and inconsistent terrain. This factor alone can contribute to a driver being knocked off of the traveling ATV.

ATV Safety Tips

To reduce the occurrence of an ATV accident, there are several steps that should be taken. It’s important to wear a helmet, appropriate footwear, and other protective gear when driving an ATV. Read an ATV’s operating manual prior to driving it. Be sure you know the path, dirt road, or the terrain that you navigate your ATV so that you don’t strike something unexpected. Check local and state regulations governing ATV use. Never allow young children to drive an ATV and never drive an ATV while using drugs or drinking alcohol. Additionally, make sure you have at least one working communication device with you when driving an ATV, so help can be called in an emergency. If an ATV accident occurs, contact a personal injury lawyer for further assistance or legal advice. ATV-related injuries are common and can result from a variety of situations and actions. State and federal laws govern manufacturers and sellers. If laws were not observed, a manufacturer or seller may be responsible for an ATV accident. If you are suffering from an ATV-related accident, you may be entitled to compensation for expenses and damages caused by your injury. Contact a personal injury lawyer to evaluate your options.

Common Injuries from ATV Accidents

While you may face unique damages, and no two accidents are identical, there are some common recurring injuries reported from ATV accidents: • Physical Bodily Injuries: Bodily injuries, fractures, and broken bones commonly arise from an ATV colliding into a pedestrian. Bodily injuries are a traumatic and unfortunate occurrence, and you may seek monetary compensation from the liable party in order to help cover medical costs, recovery, and therapy, disability, lost wages, and pain and suffering damages. Pain and suffering damages includes psychological and emotional trauma in the wake of your accident, and can take the form of anxiety, stress, fear, depression, and aversion to previously normal activities. • Brain Damage: In any vehicle-related accident, including ATVs, there can commonly be whiplash or some sort of violent physical force to the head area. Brain damage is a serious injury that can have severe immediate and long-term consequences. Speak with an experienced personal injury attorney immediately after seeking medical attention in order to learn your rights and have your attorney begin to form your case in order to seek to hold the ATV driver liable. • Paralysis: In extreme circumstances, ATV accidents can cause full or partial body spinal cord and neck injuries, potentially resulting in paralysis. This is an extremely tragic consequence of ATV accidents, and you may seek compensation from the at fault party in order to cover medical and rehabilitation costs, as well as disability and pain and suffering in order to seek your greatest health and recovery going forward. After you have been injured by an ATV, health and recovery should be your priority. Thus, getting legal help from an experienced attorney can help lessen the stress of the situation and help get your life headed back in the right direction.

Filing A Claim For An ATV Accident

• File a Police Report / Take Detailed Notes: After seeking immediate expert medical attention, you should file a police report, if necessary. This will serve as a note from a government official of what they observed at the accident scene. If the accident has already happened and you have not filed a police report, this may not be fatal to your claim, however, as your attorney can help gather evidence after the fact. Further, you will want to write down the details of what happened from your perspective at the incident. After an accident, many people experience trauma, and thus, may not fully remember the incident after the fact. Moreover, your attorney can use your detailed notes in deciding which witnesses to speak to, and what other evidence from the scene to seek in order to strengthen your case. • Speak With an Experienced Accident Attorney: You should contact an ATV accident attorney as quickly after the incident as possible. An attorney can help secure crucial evidence through in depth investigations, and may know which evidence is useful in demonstrating the other parties fault, as well as the extent of your damages. Knowing how to seek the right evidence is highly useful in recreating what happened at the accident scene and establishing the fault of the other party. Upon enlisting attorney counsel, your attorney can inform you of your legal rights, and can conduct in depth investigations to uncover evidence that may not be easily accessible or attainable. Your attorney may also conduct witness interviews, and use legal subpoenas and the discovery process to gain important evidence in seeking compensation for you. It is highly important upon any serious ATV injury that you heal and recover. Retaining an experienced attorney can give you peace of mind while your attorney takes the lead on your case, corresponding and negotiating with the other parties on your behalf.

• Filing of a Lawsuit: Your attorney may file a legal claim with the court, alleging the other parties fault, containing a synthesis and story about how you were injured, and upon serving the adverse party, may engage in settlement negotiations with the other party based on the evidence gathered. • Settlement Negotiations: In some cases, the other party, foreseeing a loss at trial in light of the evidence your attorney finds or fearing extended legal costs, may attempt to settle the case for a set monetary amount. This is equally true of the insurance companies involved in the claim as well. Your attorney can negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf to seek your greatest compensation. • Trial: In other cases, your attorney may perceive the greatest likelihood of capturing your greatest compensation might be by taking your case before a jury at trial. Your attorney can work in your best interests and on your behalf, working to demonstrate the full extent of your injuries and the other party’s fault before the court. An experienced attorney should have courtroom experience to anticipate what types of evidence the judge and jury will be most responsive to.

Legal Time Period

You will likely have a timeframe from the time of the accident to bring a lawsuit against the wrongdoing party, and if you do not bring the claim during that time period, you may be prevented from ever bringing your lawsuit against them. In many states the time period will be around two years, but you should seek an attorney’s advisement to learn the specific legal time period in your case.

While you may face unique damages, and no two accidents are identical, there are some common recurring injuries reported from ATV accidents: • Physical Bodily Injuries: Bodily injuries, fractures, and broken bones commonly arise from an ATV colliding into a pedestrian. Bodily injuries are a traumatic and unfortunate occurrence, and you may seek monetary compensation from the liable party in order to help cover medical costs, recovery, and therapy, disability, lost wages, and pain and suffering damages. Pain and suffering damages includes psychological and emotional trauma in the wake of your accident, and can take the form of anxiety, stress, fear, depression, and aversion to previously normal activities. • Brain Damage: In any vehicle-related accident, including ATVs, there can commonly be whiplash or some sort of violent physical force to the head area. Brain damage is a serious injury that can have severe immediate and long-term consequences. Speak with an experienced personal injury attorney immediately after seeking medical attention in order to learn your rights and have your attorney begin to form your case in order to seek to hold the ATV driver liable. • Paralysis: In extreme circumstances, ATV accidents can cause full or partial body spinal cord and neck injuries, potentially resulting in paralysis. This is an extremely tragic consequence of ATV accidents, and you may seek compensation from the at fault party in order to cover medical and rehabilitation costs, as well as disability and pain and suffering in order to seek your greatest health and recovery going forward. After you have been injured by an ATV, health and recovery should be your priority. Thus, getting legal help from an experienced attorney can help lessen the stress of the situation and help get your life headed back in the right direction.

Filing A Claim For An ATV Accident

• File a Police Report / Take Detailed Notes: After seeking immediate expert medical attention, you should file a police report, if necessary. This will serve as a note from a government official of what they observed at the accident scene. If the accident has already happened and you have not filed a police report, this may not be fatal to your claim, however, as your attorney can help gather evidence after the fact. Further, you will want to write down the details of what happened from your perspective at the incident. After an accident, many people experience trauma, and thus, may not fully remember the incident after the fact. Moreover, your attorney can use your detailed notes in deciding which witnesses to speak to, and what other evidence from the scene to seek in order to strengthen your case. • Speak With an Experienced Accident Attorney: You should contact an ATV accident attorney as quickly after the incident as possible. An attorney can help secure crucial evidence through in depth investigations, and may know which evidence is useful in demonstrating the other parties fault, as well as the extent of your damages. Knowing how to seek the right evidence is highly useful in recreating what happened at the accident scene and establishing the fault of the other party. Upon enlisting attorney counsel, your attorney can inform you of your legal rights, and can conduct in depth investigations to uncover evidence that may not be easily accessible or attainable. Your attorney may also conduct witness interviews, and use legal subpoenas and the discovery process to gain important evidence in seeking compensation for you. It is highly important upon any serious ATV injury that you heal and recover. Retaining an experienced attorney can give you peace of mind while your attorney takes the lead on your case, corresponding and negotiating with the other parties on your behalf.

• Filing of a Lawsuit: Your attorney may file a legal claim with the court, alleging the other parties fault, containing a synthesis and story about how you were injured, and upon serving the adverse party, may engage in settlement negotiations with the other party based on the evidence gathered. • Settlement Negotiations: In some cases, the other party, foreseeing a loss at trial in light of the evidence your attorney finds or fearing extended legal costs, may attempt to settle the case for a set monetary amount. This is equally true of the insurance companies involved in the claim as well. Your attorney can negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf to seek your greatest compensation. • Trial: In other cases, your attorney may perceive the greatest likelihood of capturing your greatest compensation might be by taking your case before a jury at trial. Your attorney can work in your best interests and on your behalf, working to demonstrate the full extent of your injuries and the other party’s fault before the court. An experienced attorney should have courtroom experience to anticipate what types of evidence the judge and jury will be most responsive to.

Legal Time Period

You will likely have a timeframe from the time of the accident to bring a lawsuit against the wrongdoing party, and if you do not bring the claim during that time period, you may be prevented from ever bringing your lawsuit against them. In many states the time period will be around two years, but you should seek an attorney’s advisement to learn the specific legal time period in your case. Thus, it is imperative to seek counsel from an experienced attorney immediately following your ATV injury, so that your attorney can educate you of your legal rights and begin to collect and compile crucial evidence in demonstrating the other party’s fault and proving your case.
