George Floyd Protest/Riots

[Rickyvol77]

Peaceful protests are ridiculed and summarily dismissed.

Perhaps you could make the argument that looting and rioting aren't more effective in attention getting against a system that values property over human life?

Peaceful protests should be ridiculed and dismissed as no one cares about the stupid things people protest about. And you are saying rioting is effective when all it does is push normal Americans to be against your politics, which is usually wrong to begin with

I gotta admit I giggled when I read this article. But the Portland Mayor is cerealz fur realz people. He declared the rioting and looting an unlawful assembly and they announced two arrests in response to the violence

Portland mayor declares state of emergency in response to rioting, looting

My response was in reference to the rioting, looting, assaults, arson and destruction of property that these people believe is justification for what happened to Mr. Floyd. Again, LE can only take the non-engaging route for so long. With this continuing now into day 3 and 4, a line will have to be drawn at some point to protect other residents and their homes within these cities before the rioters have a chance to burn everything to the ground and cause harm to others.

You realize of course, that his conclusion was debunked by the very study he cited? Blacks were more than 50% more likely to have force used against them than whites.

Now look at CDC and FBI stats and see why that is. Blacks were more likely to attack officers AND more likely to commit violent crimes in general by a larger rate

MLK must of got it wrong.

You mean the unarmed black man that was murdered by a white dude?

Given that its still happening, MLK might not be the best example of peaceful protest success.

You didn't read the study that was cited did you racist ricky?

How am I racist again? Or are you just being emotional again and throwing out names because you look ridiculous trying to justify violent felonies

Hopefully the thugs at the White House will be shot if they become violent.

Blood thirsty?

So you are saying no one cared about the protests against proposed VA weapons laws? You are wrong in this instance. Several on VN said they were going and one predicted, as he always does, that it would lead to civil war.

 

[ETV]

You are at the wrong spot. Most on here want people to die.

Zep, Please. You know this isn't true. That's EL territory. Don't go there.

Take on the Malcolm X approach and bring on the violence then, just expect a lot of pushback. Like you say, the world needs a thinning.

Do you want a do over on this post?

Take a mulligan, racist ricky, this one is low hanging fruit.

What? I don’t care what any protestor thinks. On either side. Protesting is a waste of time that could be used to do actual productive changes. And these illegal riots aren’t actually protesting to begin with

That is not the majority of people in the country. Even if they support a certain belief (2nd Amendment, pro abortion, whatever). The actual form of physical protesting doesn’t do anything

White guilt, level 10

Assembly, speech and association was seen as such an instrumental part of our country, it's right was codified in the Constitution.

Your ignorance is breathtaking.

Um where did I ever say they didn’t have the RIGHT to protest? Talk about straw man. However violence and crime is not protest and doesnt fall under any “right” except in leftist’s emotionally stunted heads

It’s crazy yet not surprising the lengths leftist radicals like septic will go to, to defend these animals

What is the so called solution or change these US people are advocating?

Last night it looked like a good chunk of the rioters and looters were looking to change out their 40” TV for a 60”

Don't forget lamp lady. She picked up a set at a Target sale.

If the national guard is called in and they shoot even one person, the ripple effect will be devastating. That can’t happen.

I guess the only hope is they hurry and go back to shooting each other. When the merchandise free for all ends I’m sure they will.

Comparing HK protests against the CCP and proposed bill to acts of violence, arson, assault, destruction of property and people looting because they want free sh**. Not the same. Not even close.

My .02, the difference is that a significant portion of those here in the US are using what happened to Mr. Floyd as an excuse to go create mayhem and chaos without regard for anyone else. Wreaking havoc across major metro areas has no relation to any kind of "protest" whatsoever.

Nothing like a Soros Organized Antifa Protest.
