what happened this week with the GameStop situation?

I know the basics --- stocks are bought and sold. What I don't understand is how stocks can be "bet against".

Thanks in advance!

Deletion Of Our Posting History

To All:

Considering the times which we are in, and the extreme hate by the left, I wonder if it would be possible to wipe our posting history clean in the forum.

It may become quite prudent..

I was going to just send an email to Jim about this, but I am hoping to get more input from the forum.

I know I’ve said some inflammatory things during these past few months post election - and while I still hold those feelings I do not wish to somehow stand a show trial for having expressed those opinions.

The left had their Reichstag fire - I think we in here should not allow them to cherry pick items from our history.

that Red Reddington and Dembe Zuma could have taken out every one
of those animals who stormed the Capitol in about 15 minutes. With knives.
Am I right?

I watched a couple of phone video clips, from different angles, over at Reddit (Yes, I showered afterward).

There is also a clip of medics rolling her out on a stretcher. She appears to have been shot in the neck, chest, or face.

Is it possible that while this woman was trying to climb through that broken window
a firearm or explosive on her person discharged, and the round struck her?

The armed police who were present were behind her, with several people between her and the police.

It will be interesting to find out what actually happened.


Here is the link to where I saw the clips. https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/krwd22/footage_of_woman_being_shot_inside_the_capitol/

On Edit: I'm wrong. Thanks for all the comments!
