I'm always pretty impressed with people who can translate on the fly.
My cousin was a local
translator signer* for Obama during his campaign. Don’t throw tomatoes, everybody.
EDIT: as in sign language, hand signing.

Hopefully his central fingers did not get carpal tunnel.
DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.

Well, ASL is a language. Heck, I think it's worthwhile to learn a bit of ASL anyways. The Army teaches some basic sign language as a matter of course. It would come in handy in noisy or windy places like concerts or noisy workplaces. Or even in quiet workplaces like a cubicle farm where you don't want to yell across the room.
You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.

Someone should go back over the footage and see if she's blinking out a message in Morse code as well.

I don't think I've ever heard an autotuned spoof song I didn't like.

I have a confession. Given my recent ticketing fiasco at the hands of the local police, I get a strange sense of satisfaction seeing everyday citizens fighting the police. I'm awful, I know.

I wouldn't feel too bad. Way back when I was young the local parking inspector would give children a ride up the Main Street on the back of his scooter and go into shops to warn people who were parked at expired meters, rather than just giving a ticket.
Local police were respected and were reasonable in enforcing laws. Unfortunately they have become almost a paramilitary arm of the tax office over the decades. We now have speed cameras, red light cameras, bus lane cameras, vehicle separation cameras and fines for almost everything.
Unfortunately this will get worse as our economy deteriorates....

Unless they just saw the police in those cars rough someone up who didn't deserve it, the people in that video are acting like spoiled dipshits throwing a tantrum. Hell, the police might have been trying to get to an assault, or a rape. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that all those people blocking the cop car would be calling the police if
they needed them.

Fortunately that dude was there to disarm him, seemingly immediately.
It's like that scene in Generation Kill (everything that is violent and retarded seems to have a Generation Kill corollary), where the guy was getting chewed out for losing his helmet and points out that "at least I didn't lose a fucking entire supply truck." This cop lost his rifle AND his truck.
You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.

I should watch Generation Kill. I’ve read the book, and only made it through one episode of the show.

Like this former ESPN reporter, who enjoyed rioting in the poor neighborhoods, but freaked out when they came to his gated community.
I saw that on Twitter. It was told as “A story in 3 pictures”
