Not committed by far right Trump supporters, as far as I'm aware. Or Antifascists, come to think of it.
Nice for you to leave out "on American soil" out of quoting me. Whataboutism and deflection at its very best.

Speaking of Biden wanting to heal wounds, Michelle Obama just said those who voted for President Donald Trump voted to support “lies, hate, chaos, and division.” Sorry people, the country will continue to be divided for the next four years as Democrats continue control the media, spew hatred and allow China to continue their takeover of the U.S.

You have just described the Democrat Party aka the Hypocrite Party. If your party and your media says it is wrong, it MUST be wrong. Call Trump an authoritarian yet calling all opinions differing from yours as "wrong." Hence hypocrite fits you best.

They did a quick 5 minute show in my town about 2 weeks ago announcing that it was from a secret location to avoid people gathering. I have a feeling this will be my town's only firework show this year as I bet the one in August will be cancelled.

Funny that when Japan executes a person for multiple murders, a lot of the comments are bashing Japan as being barbaric and cruel. When China does it for non-violent crimes, people say "oh well." Maybe people feel Japan is an easy target for criticism.

My cats don't go outside, they are perfectly happy as house cats, thank goodness. The reason why they don't go outside is sickos like this.
I think the chances of a cat being hit by a car outside is much higher than being mutilated by a nut.

I am "cat lover" and this makes me sick to my stomach as if happened to a human being. It is not major news in Japan yet but I really really hope this story becomes more known and his picture gets out to many people. He will be released but I hope he lives the rest of his life in shame or even fear of other people who know or recognize him.

Random stop and frisks are an American thing. It doesn't happen in Japan. They may stop you, but they have to have a ton of probable cause. Moreover, even if you were stopped they wouldn't frisk you, simply ask you questions and things. Only until you're detained do they begin to go through your belongings.
I've been stopped and searched twice in Japan. Once my car and once at the airport waiting for someone to arrive.

I'd like a little clarification. Does "bares all" mean prolonged full frontal, or just a quick nip slip during the love scenes?
We will probably end up with Jason Segel's full frontal like in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. That is something worth getting your barf bag out for.

TV audience data was not immediately available, but the previous Team USA match against Portugal on Sunday evening drew nearly 25 million viewers—more than the NBA finals or baseball’s World Series, mainstays of the U.S. sporting landscape.
A World Cup game is a one time deal and everyone can unite to cheer for the U.S. no matter what city. NBA Finals and World Series can go up to 7 games with teams most cities could care less about.

Portugal is nothing special anyways. You can't win a team game because of 1 household name being on the team.
