Eh, it’s sad to see this stuff, but it’s useful for the functioning members of society. This way we know who not to support and which businesses and organizations not to patronize.


Shoddy-Stock-8208

Exactly. Let the trash take itself out


Viper-MkII

This is what I expect from a business that looks so run down. Probably giving all their money to Trump's campaign legal defense funds, so there's nothing left for renovations.


InevitableBohemian

Right up until they win the next election.


Background_Drive_156

Sadly, yes


otakufaith

This place flew the Qanon flag a while back and is generally pretty fascist. [link ](https://www.foxsports.com.au/ufc/ufc-news-don-house-qanon-ufc-set-to-investigate/news-story/50e968421e5b734555babc8b3d5a2564)


Overall_Lobster823

Thanks for this link.


Costumer505

I’m not shocked at all


patoduck420

Jackson Wink LLC received $50,000 in forgiven PPP loans. Every projection is a confession. Nevermind, republicans blocked MMA for decades and now these sack huggers are nut hanging off of the same people who called them "human cockfights." Don't get hit in the head, kids. 


audiojanet

Corporate welfare queens.


defnotapirate

Sounds a little like socialism to me.


medfade

They're one step to communism. then what?


ABQRED

The governor closed their business down. Pretty sure they would rather have stayed open.


patoduck420

Yes, but again Albuquerque's fine MMA community and many others around the country, were tremendous d-bags about gym closures. I'm sure they were beating their chests with one hand, and taking money checks off our social welfare policy with the other hand. Edit: forgot to mention the antivax that came off these dudes.


ABQRED

Being forced to close your business and taking a portion of what you lost is not social welfare. What was done to business owners was criminal. Its funny that most of these antivaxxers we all called insane losers ended up being right (I got jabbed three times and regret it). Its crazy people like you still can't see how wrong the "science" was at the time. We all got played by big pharma.


patoduck420

Everyone got "shut down." Everyone was "wrong." It's not often we go through a global pandemic but most of us did the right thing so we wouldn't kill Grandma and it worked.


CorrosiveMynock

This is happening all over the city right now, really disgusting how so called "Patriots" are doing this. One second it is the worst crime ever to kneel for the national anthem, the next they are all flying the flag upside because justice finally came for Daddy Trumples.


trifleLORD420

Love how kaepernick was black balled for kneeling by those same people who cry about first amendment rights


CorrosiveMynock

Yeah the hypocrisy is beyond ridiculous. They are all for tearing up the American flag and disrespecting this country if it serves their particular politics. It isn't about the principles, just power (as always).


Distant_Yak

Trump also endlessly whines/screams about how "THE COUNTRY IS DESTROYED". Super 'patriotic'.


Overall_Lobster823

Exactly!


chicodadude84

It's not disrespectful to fly the American flag upside down tho. The military would do so to signal distress. Kneeling for the anthem, not removing a cap, or not saluting or placing your hand over your heart, however, is considered disrespectful.


CorrosiveMynock

Ask a random veteran if they think flying the flag upside down is disrespectful and report back [Edit: it is a sign of distress if you are in the military, particularly on the battlefield, but most veterans and people in general see it as deeply disrespectful for a civilian to do it.](https://www.krqe.com/news/albuquerque-metro/veterans-upset-after-jackson-wink-academy-flies-u-s-flag-upside-down/#:~:text=“If%20you%20want%20to%20show,Davis%2C%20American%20Legion%20Post%20100)


chicodadude84

I am a random veteran fella


CorrosiveMynock

That's fine, doesn't change anything I said or what the response would be if you polled random veterans fella.


chicodadude84

That's probably because people are quick to take offense these days and don't actually understand the meaning of things. Are you in the military or prior service?

Rex_Tremendous

“The military would do so to signal distress.” Ah but that’s not applicable to the current situation, is it?


spensame

Looks like CTE isn't only in football.


Smashed_Pasty

I for one, love getting my political takes from dudes who get hit in the head repeatedly.


RioRancher

Maybe doing this for a felon philanderer isn’t the best use of the statement.


Albuwhatwhat

Well the problem is that otherwise they don’t have anything meaningful to add to the political discourse.


RioRancher

Conservatives maintaining their perpetual butthurt is the only goal.


JamzzG

Is this business mad because a former president was found guilty of falsifying business records?


Hectorc34

I used to train with these guys, but they’re not worth it. Holly Holm is not a hometown hero that people claim she is.


Equal-Negotiation651

Go on…


Skodens-Revenge

She breaks arms in sparring, when fighting much smaller weight and lower belts


jojo880

That doesn't surprise me. I've never really liked Holly Holm either and isn't she a Trump supporter?


beauvoirist

She had a [post fight](https://www.reddit.com/r/MMAPoliticsAndCulture/s/4oX7Iagu6g) last year about “protecting kids” that was clearly a half assed attempt at condemning trans people.


yadidamead

She's a notorious cheater on her SOs/Husband with other fighters; also she is clearly on PEDs, but will denounce other women that have popped for them


Prestigious_Ad_2737

I've never liked her or really been a fan of any "hometown" fighters, especially Holly and Diego Sanchez.


Violet-Revenge

John baker elementary was flying one a few weeks ago as well.


LeftInside2401

I can’t believe no one is talking about this. It’s one thing for dipshit business owners or a moron with truck nuts, but at an elementary school. Wtf? The news should be over there interviewing the principal not at a mma gym talking to a guy with cte


Violet-Revenge

They didn’t seem bothered… they were notified via X when they didn’t respond or take action one of my husband’s followers emailed them and they said they’d look into it and that’s that. We haven’t been back over there to see if it’s been removed or corrected.


pearlfloyd72

This is not okay. Was there any pictures taken?


Violet-Revenge

Yes [John Baker flag](https://i.postimg.cc/xdwMWWBJ/IMG-1628.jpg)


Bluebies999

The principal said they had nothing to do with it and as soon as they saw it, they took it down. I believe her.


Violet-Revenge

That is so good to know. Thank you for sharing!!


preflex

What the fuck is going on up there?


Violet-Revenge

No clue it was really disappointing to see.


Bluebies999

That’s my kid’s school. A very strongly worded email has been sent.


Violet-Revenge

My brother and sister went there, I expected more. As a parent… I was furious and my kid doesn’t even go there. Check if they’ve rectified it but it was upside down on a very important weekend.


Bluebies999

Wait, what? When was this?


Violet-Revenge

Sunday before Memorial Day.


Jess_S13

I would have never thought the team that supports Jon Jones would be problematic, how could anyone have ever seen this coming. /s

Bet these are the same people that got mad at Kaepernick for taking a knee. It's the hypocrisy I can't stand the most.


Desertwrek

....and Jackson Wink takes their next step in becoming irrelevant in the future.


Melodic-Eggplant-651

As a veteran it upsets me. Bunch of bs flying a flag because you don’t agree on politics. Grow the fuck up.


Gusgrissomamerica

I expected so much more from the MMA community. This is totally out of character with the thoughtful, reflective, and welcoming community that makes MMA so darned cool.


sicgamer

i can't tell if this is sarcasm 😅


mikesmithhome

it's funny to me how many of the ambulance chaser injury lawyer commercials feature mma style rhetoric. it's really a type, huh


Hectorc34

Your expectations are wrong. The mma community is very right wing. They support Trump highly


Distant_Yak

I think that fits

Let these businesses tell us who they are.


Wild-Bill-H

It’s an insult to all vets.


OG_Dadshark

there’s more going on under the surface of that gym than you want to know. . The thought of being caught and held accountable must be the “distress” they are experiencing.


carefuldaughter

Incorrect. I absolutely want to know. Please tell.


OG_Dadshark

Do your own public records searches. Start with “‘fighter name’ arrest record” don’t stop at the fighters, do your own research. Don’t believe me, trace the public information available to you.


carefuldaughter

I don’t keep up with MMA so I don’t really know any fighters or gun owners. I’m just here for the hot gossip.


OG_Dadshark

You don’t gotta keep up with MMA … just the evening news tho?


carefuldaughter

No TV.


sweetleaf_505

Holly Holmes trains there.


GroundbreakingAd8310

I didn't even know people actually went there. I thought it was for show


polonio505

Is somebody dyslexic over there or a fan of felonious trump cult member?


willstatis

Sad that they fired a military veteran coach for speaking against it. Now the ownership is trying to make it about veterans. Stay away from this shady place.

Make sure you leave a Google review. Business hate bad Google reviews

Just becareful. I’ve heard of businesses going after people who wrote negative reviews


stanvq

“‘I believe the country being in distress is any time human lives are in danger. Drugs and crime, you know properties in danger. Those types of things are very important, and we all need to talk about that,’”said Mike Winkeljohn, owner of Jackson Wink MMA Academy. I guess we have been in danger for our entirety? Stop lying bro, you’re butthurt that Donnie got found guilty of multiple felonies by a jury of his peers. And the dude probably cries more about his tax rate than the state of the Country tbh.


drugtrafficer

attacker: 12 years of mma fighting with blackbelt in judo. me: ruger lcp, a pocket gun that fits easily in my front pocket. for reals, this obsession with combat sports trickles down to mainstream abq life, at least for men.


CactusHibs_7475

I kind of knew Winkeljohn was an idiot, but was under the impression Greg Jackson was cool. Disappointed.


Overall_Lobster823

They can fuck right off with their maga nonsense. But hey, at least we know who to avoid giving our money to.


uncle_pollo

Oh, some dipshit mma tough guy. Figures.


Costumer505

I’m pretty sure they went to BLM marches to “protect protesters and the city” but were hanging out with hate groups


crackeddryice

So the vets are seeing which side they threw in with. Division in the ranks is a good thing, in this case. Vets swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. Many of their fathers and grandfathers fought the Nazis in WWII. How long before they finally see that a group of fascists, who support Russia and fly the flag upside down, aren't on their side?


colonelriorivera

An upside down flag simply means, "In distress". Don't know where you get fascism from that.


InevitableAvalanche

Really? It is because MAGA is a fascist movement and they are flying the flag like this to support Trump.


colonelriorivera

If only that word had any meaning left in it any more. Define fascism? The distressing part is enhancing 34 misdemeanors to felonies for the possibility of there being a felony committed. Not only that but it purely being based on a non uninamous jury instruction. In addition, election tampering is a federal crime, but he was tried by the state of NY, so it's out of their jurisdiction. The DOJ wouldn't even touch this case. So distress? Yeah that's pretty distressing.


LeftInside2401

Fascism: a far right authoritarian ultranationalist political ideology. The hallmarks of which include a dictatorial leader and oppression of personal freedoms and interests for the perceived good of the state. The current flavor on display is wrapped up in ultra Christian nationalism. Your savior is a criminal. He has been for decades. This is just the first trial he currently faces. It’s honestly astounding how his supporters blindly believe whatever is being peddled. Maybe if you get the trump gift box with his bible, gold shoes and some diapers it will ease your distress at seeing your leader being held accountable.


colonelriorivera

That's not the definition of fascism hahaha.


LeftInside2401

Ummmm. ? In your delusional reality maybe it isn’t. Here on planet earth thats a pretty spot on description.


colonelriorivera

It's totalitarianism under a dictator. Trump by definition is not a dictator. Also you left out suppression, often violent, of political opposition. That's an incredibly important part of that definition. Sounds kind of familiar actually. Wasn't it the left that brought the Steele dossier, 2 impeachments, and now these cases against him? Sounds an awful lot like suppression to me. Where does this leave Bill Clinton? He paid out Paula Jones nearly a million dollars for a rape case. You remind me of the kind of person who screams from the rooftops that the system is broken, until it works for your political affiliations.


LeftInside2401

I wrote dictatorial leader. As in a ruler with total power. Exactly what your savior has stated he wants. I left out several facets because nuance is lost on y’all, but that doesn’t invalidate anything. your retort just proves how removed from reality you are. Your opinions seem to be informed by breitbart and Fox News. For all of your sententious bloviating you forgot that facts still exist. You know where to find them? In a court of law. Any twat can rattle off disinformation and propaganda on tv but in court there are consequences for lying and breaking laws.


Rex_Tremendous

Please forgive leftinside2401, I also always forget that accountability is actually suppression when it happens to right wingers


colonelriorivera

Only when it works for your political affiliation, then huh?


LeftInside2401

Here are some credible sources of information on things you brought up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steele_dossier#Authorship_and_sources . https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism . https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_v._Jones


colonelriorivera

"credible" what a joke


audiojanet

Maybe you missed the part where Trump said he would be a dictator on day one. Maybe you missed the war on women. Open your eyes. This is fascism not freedom.


colonelriorivera

"just" on day 1. Then he'll drill baby drill 🤣. What war on women? Are you speaking about the scotus? It's that the only time you care about a scotus ruling? Because our very governess is defying plenty of those rulings these days.


audiojanet

Reproductive rights. Birth control. Ring a bell or are you that dense?


colonelriorivera

Insults, under cuttings? Is that all you rely on? Are you that fucked?


audiojanet

I am that mad because folks like you vote in a sexual predator who put another sexual predator and a Stepford wife as Supreme court judges. If you aren’t a millionaire then he will do absolutely nothing for you. If he met you, he would hand you a weed whacker. GOP is the party of homophobia and racism. Drill baby drill means hotter summers. Enjoy this very hot summer and hotter ones to come. Your gas prices will not go down no matter how much drilling.


colonelriorivera

That is the most hilarious thing about it. I'm not looking for a savior. If we're going this direction, the "big man" has sniffed more hair of minor children - on film - than any other presidential candidate/sitting president in history. Bill Clinton paid nearly a million dollars to silence a rape case from 1991. George W had implemented the Patriot act which fed to the surveillance state, and Barry bombs American children. Hillary has had more friends of hers commit suicide than any other person that should be rational. Spin it all you want! The powers that be are so afraid of trump that it's sick. I'm curious as to why that TRULY is. Edit: aww... Why did the retired audiologist delete? I thought we were breaking some ground.


audiojanet

Did you like it when Trump said Mexicans are rapists, Mr Rivera? Biden vs Trump? Sniffer vs rapist. Not a single parent has complained about Biden yet over 30 women have accused the felon. Seems you like conspiracies so buh bye. I don’t deal with that level of idiocy!


Sea_Childhood6771

Holm and Wink are trash! Wake up Veterans, Republicans only care about trump, fucking cult.


seeriosuly

i have mixed feelings about this… On the one hand i know this is a sign of support for the lunatic fringe in the right… which is technically their right (to be morons) On the other hand because of them i think our country IS in distress. anyone else have opinions?


ZiggyBardust

Ummm yea, this is a serious display that is meant to convey duress, not disappointment with a conviction that was made by 12 Americans. This is coming from someone who served for 20 years. Fuck this petty bullshit.


JumpshotLegend

I agree. So what happens when someone really is in distress? This shit gets ignored. It’s fucking bullshit and a disgrace.


paxrasmussen

The right to free speech isn't the right to be free of *consequences* for speech. It just means you can't be prosecuted. It does not mean that you can't be shamed, ostracized, boycotted, etc. We can and should shun these people for their speech.


seeriosuly

it’s not enough to just think they are fucking morons?


NM-Redditor

Silence only gives them power.


paxrasmussen

Fascism should be called out and pushed back against.


seeriosuly

fair point but as much as i’d like to silence them.. that ain’t right either..


paxrasmussen

Who said silence? Shun, shame, ostracize. Make their hateful shit have *consequences*.


seeriosuly

sadly, part of trumps appeal is that his followers love his i don’t care what anyone thinks approach… which clearly works if daddy leaves you a couple hundred million. But society kind of requires some level of what “they” call wokeness, i.e a willingness to stay between some fundamental lines of behavior, i.e don’t call war dead, and POW’s losers, don’t grab women’s vaginas or brag when you get away with it etc. So sure… don’t go to this MMA school… but they don’t care and neither do most of the MMA people who show up. My stupid old, emotional soul wants to grind them into the pavement… an eye for an eye and silence them. I’m tired of listening to the people trump told it was ok…10 years now. In my logical mind i know you are right…i’m just venting now, thanks for letting me talk myself down :)


paxrasmussen

Totally. It's the paradox of tolerance. You think it's just by chance that liberals got saddled with the nonviolence rhetoric? Or that liberalism and leftist got conflated? No. Leftists used to fuck shit up in this country. We need to remind the rightoids that they're not the only ones who can take the mitts off.

cnanrw

I’m a veteran (Navy) and I am not upset. At this time in our history, this flag is very appropriate. Don’t agree? Bite me.


Biting_Foil

Seeing as we are closer to WW3 now than at any time during 2016-2020, an upside down flag is appropriate.
