George Floyd Protest/Riots

[Bigun]

As much as I hate social media, ironically, I think it will help people see that a large majority of the violence is from Antifa types.

He's never been one for a three piece suit.

Millions of other t shirts would have sufficed.

Hey, I voted for Giant Asteroid in 2016. I tried. This is not my fault.

I saw just the other day on the news that the giant asteroid had passed by Earth. On it's way by, it said that it wasn't going to be getting involved w/any of the Earth's affairs.

Do these people not realize that murdering and beating people is not the answer? People turning on the news watching the police fight these morons day in and day out makes the majority of Americans more sympathetic to police. One type of brutality is basically replaced with another.

This kills whatever cause they once had.

 

[Orangeburst]

When's the last time we saw the country protest in a manner this widespread?

Widespread but not many people compared to the number that are outraged. Even the Dem leaders are calling this out.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Not in my life, which is why the gloves need to come off. The hands off approach is a disaster.

You risk creating an even bigger mess if the response isn't executed perfectly here.

MN is deploying the guard. We're gonna find out real quick.

Minnesota Governor calls for the full mobilization of the States National Guard ......


Minnesota Governor authorizes 'full mobilization' of state's National Guard, says protests no longer about death of George Floyd

Sounds like the business owners and federal government sent the message and he received it.

Short answer...they don’t have a freakin’ clue.

Maybe he'll aim for the middle of the Q?

Pithy..

I don't think these people are in the business of currying the favor of the politicians. In the protestors eyes, they have failed the. In the looters/wanton destroyers eyes, this is their purge.

. I need law and order restored. Doing nothing isnt working.

 

[Matt2496]

And then you have this kind of nonsensical racist rhetoric

CNN's Van Jones: "Even the most well-intentioned white person has a virus in his or her brain"

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Never too late. Overwhelming power gets attention quickly.

See this is what I've been saying.

That is why nonviolent protests don't phase govts. Govts know they can always outgun the people.

MLK seemed successful. Rosa Parks.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

MLK seemed successful.

Until he was, like, killed.

Rosa Parks broke the law in her protest.

Rosa Parks broke the law in her protest.

Her peaceful protest.

MLK methods worked. That he was murdered doesnt change that fact.

It worked as far as ending Jim Crow. I doubt the goals ended there.

We still live in a very divisive country when it comes to race.

Of course not. But peaceful protests clearly work.

Long gone are the days for a candlelight memory ritual we used to have in loving memory of someone's death.
Now, it's burn and destroy anything & everything that's not ours.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Of course not. But peaceful protests clearly work.

They have worked. They don't always work.

Remember when everyone flipped their collective **** over taking a knee during the anthem?

Of course we do. The modern left has made it out like being white is shameful or something you should feel guilty for. The race baiting is in everything.

Because he is a clown.

Not sure what you're trying to argue. Peaceful protests work. Americans generally get behind good ideas and defeating evil.

I remember BLM protestors blocking traffic, and people were internet warrioring to run them over.

Again, peaceful protests can work, but that doesn't mean they always work.

Crises precipitate change 100% of the time.

Wow, internet warrioring. That's scary.
