In general, if you play baseball, softball, bowling, basketball or football.....you will lead with your left foot going forward and your right arm then handling the item in a forward motion.
Watch a quarterback, or a pitcher (in baseball)....the left foot leads, then the right arm follows.
I sat today watching some riot video from Seattle and Portland. I admit, I probably have better things to spend my time upon.
It kinda hit me.....with around three-quarters of the crowd in a 'rock-throwing' situation.....they were leading with the right-foot, and throwing with the right.
It's an odd movement of the body, and after you've seen it a couple of times....you go back to earlier videos and see this over and over.
Why?
People who've participated in sports in their youth....develop the skill of throwing things. It doesn't matter if you grow up on a farm, or in some coastal city.....if you participate in sports, you develop this 'swing'.
People who don't participate in sports....never get the knack of left-foot-right-arm.
What kind of people are like this? Mostly gamers, who never played sports. White boys who pretend to grow up...the type that sat on a gamer set for their entire life.
After you realize this....it's just kinda funny....'warrior-juveniles' with a right-foot-right-arm 'swing'.

Just Observations
1. Maybe it's just me, but I'm starting to imagine Seattle, Portland and Minneapolis as some Game of Thrones city (King's Landing), with a twist of Gotham City, Nazi Berlin, Dodge City (1875) and Beirut of 1984 in full civil war.
2. Kanye West was pretty crazy at his first Presidential 'chat'. I would be willing to pay $300 to see him and Joe Biden in a debate.
3. Trump and this executive order not to count non-Americans in the final census tally?
It'll be challenged in court, and the Supreme Court will likely invent some way to invalidate it. But then the problem will arise....there is nothing in the Constitution to say he can or can't do it. It just says he has to accomplish this every ten years.
Back in 2014, they did a study and concluded around 12-million illegals were in the US. Out of that, the three states with the bigger issues were California (24-percent of the 12-million), NY (6-percent) and Texas (16-percent). So you probably can assume in the six years since....another five million arrived, and the state counts remained the same.
If the numbers are NOT counted (by his order) then NY, California and Texas are the states in trouble. One might assume five to six districts are lost upon the three states.
Why the aggravation and anger by the three? Well....go imagine trying to redraw the district lines in NY or California, and telling two of these guys that their district is gone and they need to find a real job now.
4. The House held a vote to cut the Pentagon budget by 10-percent. Result? More than 60-percent of Democrats voted with the Republicans. The measure only carried 93 lousy votes....324 against. Why attempt some measure like this? I think Pelosi has lost interest in getting results, and this is just a circus atmosphere for 2020.
5. With the Chinese 'game' going on in Hong Kong.....how many Hong Kong folks have the 'right' to move to the UK? Well....if you do the count on just passports in hand (the right given in 1997)....it's about 350k people. However, added to this....around another 2.7-million who have the right but currently don't have the UK passport.
My guess, by spring of 2021, around 100k Hong Kong residents will have made the exit and another 250k will leave by the end of 2021. Will the UK have the apartments and homes for them? That's a big question.
But added to this....the brain-drain to Hong Kong, and the brain-gain to the UK....will create this huge entrepreneur situation and set the stage for the next decade in the UK.
6. Surveys on defunding the police? Depending on who you look at....the 'least' in support is around 80-percent....with various areas of the US strongly shaking their head.
If you wanted to pick a topic where people don't agree....this is one of those.
7. If you are traveling to New York (doesn't matter where in the state)....you have to self-quarantine for 14 days. The states? AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, DE, FL, GA, IA, ID, IN, KS, LA, MD, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NM, NV, OH, OK, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WI.
Destruction of the travel industry? No doubt, but it's the way they desire it.
8. “Ask ten people what ‘fairness’ means and you can get eleven different definitions.” Great quote by Thomas Sowell.
This is obviously standing out in the public view now, and one of the top ten most confusing things about the American landscape in 2020.
