Break out the bean bag rounds.

Gas comes first

Gas comes first

In my house, beans come before the gas.

What the hell is happening in Minneapolis? There is no police or guard presence whatsoever.

Certain posters will deny it, but I've noticed an uptick in media criticism of Trump as we move closer to election season. But they wouldn't be trying to influence the election or anything....

CNN is covering all the protests across the US they are switching between cities constantly on their feed. When something starts to develop or look interesting they cut to that city. It's not just the WH.

Probably a good idea. The police would just open fire on the crowds indiscriminately, the crowds would do the same with the police. Best to keep both sides separate.

The only police presence in Minneapolis is on top of that 5th precinct building. They are using non-lethal rounds when someone tries to climb the fence.

Fox is covering the WH too.

 

[zeppelin128]

Yep, serious. With this much anger, put the two on a line against each other and see what happens.

 

[Matt2496]

They're throwing stuff at the SS.

you think cops would "indiscriminately fire" (I assume live rounds) at protestors? and protestors would fire at cops?

when was the last time that happened?

 

[volinbham]

liquor store looting - protesting makes you thirsty I reckon

damn. I hope the police don't start applying this logic to bank robberies, home invasions, and terrorist attacks.

I don't know when the last time that happened was, but that is what is about to happen.

LOL at the liquor store in Minneapolis getting looted. Home skillets walking out with cases of booze. I guess that's a form a protest.

 

[Septic]

How exactly is burning stuff, destroying property, and stealing bringing justice?

I think the idea was to try something new, since the last attempt at protesting upset the NFL fans.

If this is what it took to end corona, then I'm all in. Hooray.

Yes, very serious protestoers here.

 

[NEO]

Ok the scene at the White House is getting dangerous.

 

[volinbham]

nope - not even close. Protests like this have been going on off and on since 60s and the cops don't indiscriminately fire on the crowd nor vice versa.

Kent St would be the closest and that was almost 60 years ago.

This isnt new.

This is all about hurting Trump & make him look to be the cause of all problems in their low life.
It's just that they have no one that's any better to take his place once he's out as President.

Trump inserted himself into the conversation by channeling his inner George Wallace. Nice try at dressing him up as a victim though.
