| Topic | Woman arrested after going on a racist rant on a bus |
| CableZL 07/06/18 9:43:42 PM #21 | DarkTransient posted... Or, maybe if the liberals care so much about opposing racism, they shouldn't trivialize it to an extent that the accusation becomes meaningless and racists have little reason to be afraid to speak their mind? Again, racist people speaking their minds isn't a new thing. They've done so for centuries. The new thing is the fact that they're doing it even while being recorded for the world to see and aren't the slightest bit concerned about hiding their faces these days. --- |

| CableZL 07/06/18 9:39:16 PM #17 | DarkTransient posted... And I answered exactly why that's the case. You can't ask "why are racists so bold these days" then cry "that's not relevant, this is about one specific case" when someone explains the general trends that lead to the situation you're asking about. The fact that the answer is highly unfavorable to your political views doesn't change that. I never asked why racist people are so bold these days. I said racist people are bold these days and asked if they're always so angry. Reading comprehension would help you quite a bit. --- |

| CableZL 07/06/18 9:35:11 PM #15 | DarkTransient posted... Liberals crying "racism" at everything has pretty much killed any impact or meaning that word has. 1) This topic has nothing to do with "crying racism at everything." Again, it is observing a woman's racist behavior and calling it what it is. 2) This topic isn't "people making a scene over nothing again." The woman is the one making a scene by going on a racist rant and assaulting someone. DarkTransient posted... Then, the same liberal sources claim "look, no one cares about racism anymore". 3) No one is claiming that "no one cares about raicsm any more" in this topic. The woman was arrested and charged. DarkTransient posted... Finally, people like this woman hear this, and think "oh look, it's fine to be racist now". People have thought it was "fine to be racist" in this country for centuries. You can try to pretend it's some new phenomenon, but the only "new" thing here is that smartphones with cameras are incredibly ubiquitous. The ability to upload videos for the world to see with a couple taps has given people an easy way to show what is happening around them. Stuff like this has been happening for ages. We're just seeing it more because of smartphones and people wanting to record everything with them now. DarkTransient posted... Which you know damn well is what I was getting at, I know exactly what you're getting at. I just wanted you to spell it out so I can break down why you're incorrect. I say "racist people are getting bold these days" because racist people used to hide their faces behind hoods and sheets and shit. If they didn't hide their faces, it was because they knew they could get away with it. Now they just do it out in the open even with people recording them. --- |

| CableZL 07/06/18 9:22:57 PM #8 | DarkTransient posted... No, that isn't my argument at all. Read it again, and put some thought into it this time. Your "step 1" has nothing to do with this topic, so I don't see why you even posted it. A woman went on a racist rant on a bus and got arrested. This isn't "accusing anything and everything of being racist." This is observing a woman going on a racist rant and calling it what it is. --- |

Dude just did an interview on TV and didn't even attempt to say there was more to be seen than in the video, he basically just said "sorry, i'm not a racist there is more to my life than just this," which is, i mean, duh Probably would have gone a long way for him if he just apologized when she asked him to instead of completely ignoring her and waiting for a TV interview. He took it way too far. --- |

| Topic | NC man calls cops on a woman for refusing to show ID to enter the pool |
| CableZL 07/06/18 6:44:14 PM #101 | I guess when you live in a neighborhood, you have to make 100% sure that all other residents know your name, address, driver's license number, social security number, have a copy of your long form birth certificate, etc. Just so you won't be harassed for using the pool or trying to come home from work. --- |

| Topic | NC man calls cops on a woman for refusing to show ID to enter the pool |
| CableZL 07/06/18 6:38:56 PM #96 | s0nicfan posted... He didn't record the video or post it online and make the claims of racism, so no he didn't do this to himself. I'm sure that if he thought calling the cops would have resulted in his name and face being posted across multiple front pages of major media sites, losing his job, and being kicked out his volunteer position he wouldn't have asked or called. Yeah, and he clearly assumes he has more authority than he actually does. He says he regularly asks people for ID when he has no right to actually see anyone's ID for access to the pool. Again, he couldn't point to a single posted rule or name one community statute that requires residents to show their ID to him for pool access. --- |

When did he ask to see her key card? Certainly not in the video until the cop came up with the idea. You're speculating here. I also doubt it's required for a resident to give anyone else their key card to verify access to the pool. --- |
| Topic | NC man calls cops on a woman for refusing to show ID to enter the pool |
| CableZL 07/06/18 6:33:10 PM #91 | And no, she didn't ruin his life. He did that to himself. She didn't force him to call the cops. The police were completely unnecessary in this situation. He couldn't point to or state one posted rule or community statue that requires residents to show ID to access the pool to the police. Hell, I doubt it's required to even give your own key card to him to verify. Simply using the key card to access the pool is probably all that's needed and giving him her address was probably a nice gesture in itself. --- |

| CableZL 07/06/18 5:54:23 PM #87 | s0nicfan posted... Your source WASN'T EVEN THERE. From the same article you linked to: So your argument is that while she was walking toward the pool area, another resident asked Adam Bloom to verify that she belongs in the pool area? How does that even make sense? You yourself admit "we don't know what happened before the recording," but somehow you're 100% sure that he asked to see her key card as well? Even though he never even brings up the idea of verifying the key card for almost 2.5 minutes of the video, but mentions asking for her ID and justifies asking for her ID? And still wants to see her ID after seeing the key card work? --- |
| Topic | NC man calls cops on a woman for refusing to show ID to enter the pool |
| CableZL 07/06/18 5:49:47 PM #85 | s0nicfan posted... So are you fine with how all this falls out, cable? Do you think justice has been done? I'm clearly not going to convince you that this guy was just doing what he does all the time as part of his HOA job, and you're clearly unconvinced that she refused to provide him anything other than an address until the cops showed up, so I'm done fighting that battle. Do you believe he deserves to lose his job and have his full name and picture plastered across multiple major news agencies as a racist over asking for an ID? I'm not fine with how all this falls out. I've been saying this whole topic that the police should have never been called in the 1st place because she gave him her address AND had a working key card. According to the lifeguard manager, she was already in the pool area when Adam Bloom asked her for identification. I'm not happy that he lost his job, but he's an asshole for calling the police because she wouldn't show him her ID when she had everything she needed to properly access the pool. She shouldn't have to show ID just because he isn't satisfied with knowing her address. --- |

The pool is gated. Members have cards and must scan them to get into the pool area. About 2 p.m. Wednesday, Bloom asked a black woman, who was in the pool area, for identification, Gulkham said. Theres a keycard to the door to get into the pool, Gulkham said. Apparently it was not enough for him. I dont know why he felt it wasnt enough. --- |

We DON'T KNOW what happened before she started recording s0nicfan posted... but there's no reason to believe he didn't also ask to see her key card and she refused LOL Except for the fact that he repeatedly tried to justify the fact that he asks for ID on a seemingly regular basis and never even mentioned testing the key card until the cop came up with the idea just to end the situation. --- |

| CableZL 07/06/18 5:40:49 PM #80 | s0nicfan posted... The fact that he says that at 3:13 doesn't make the things said earlier not happen. Exactly. She stated she gave him her address, and obviously used her key card to enter the pool area. That's all that's necessary here. Again, calling the police on her is overzealous at minimum. He asked for her ID and the first time he even mentions asking her to verify that her key card works is after the police ask for it. Even after he sees that her key card works, he still wanted to see her ID. He couldn't point to or state one community bylaw that requires photo ID to access the pool area. --- |
| Topic | NC man calls cops on a woman for refusing to show ID to enter the pool |
| CableZL 07/06/18 5:34:37 PM #76 | If simply using the key card to open the door was "perfect," then she never would have needed to show ID in the first place. Even after seeing that her key card worked and opened the door, he still wanted to see her ID. She stated she gave him her address and he wasn't satisfied with that. All he had to do at that point was see that the key card worked, but he wanted to see her ID and she didn't want to show it to him. --- |

| CableZL 07/06/18 5:12:41 PM #58 | Monolith1676 posted... Actually it is. Being on an HOA board is a volunteer job and if it is in the bylaws of the community to show ID that you are a member of the community then he was in the right. It isn't. The only thing required for access to the pool is the key card and she had that, which is why the police ultimately determined that he was in the wrong. Nowhere is it posted that ID is required to enter the pool. --- |

| Topic | I wish Google Fiber didn't have to slow down their construction... Damn it. |
| CableZL 07/06/18 3:45:28 PM #10 | Colorahdo posted... So serious question here, google fiber is "really fast", right? What about in 10 years? They'll be extremely outdated. Do they have to redo all of the cables or whatever? Current optical (optical = fiber, electrical = copper) ethernet standards support 10 Gbps connectivity, but it depends on their network infrastructure as well. You can run 10 Gbps cables and terminate them on switches that only support up to 1 Gbps. So if they currently have everyone plugged into 10 Gbps ports, then they'd essentially just be waiting on end-user devices like PC and/or video game console manufacturers to start putting 10 Gbps ethernet ports in their stuff and they'd be able to reasonably upgrade people to 10 Gbps connectivity without too much hassle. They'd have to give people 10 Gbps capable modems and/or make sure the electrical/optical conversion device that they install in the home/business (the fiber jack) is capable of 10 Gbps connectivity as well. Then they'd pretty much be good to go. If they've got people plugged into 1 Gbps ports, then they'd need to upgrade to switches that have all 10 Gbps ports vs 1 Gbps ports. --- |
