Warning Graphic Video

Somebody showed me that video and i asked why didn't the guy recording call 911 or something, he told me there's another video where he was driving and saw it and called 911 while he was stopping. Just in case anybody was wondering the same thing.

Would it be truly shocking that a guy who personally ordered police to use force against peaceful protestors would utilize a group of people to go around and amplify the protests in cities?

The news is pretty much impossible to watch right now. Of course the liberal stuff is crazy but I'm flipping around at lunch today and I come across a panel discussion on Fox. One person (Marie Harf) compared (a report of) a protester spitting at a police officer in Lansing to the burning, looting and sometimes shooting that's going on right now and no one called her on it. Has the entire news business been completely dumbed down or what? I tried watching some sports talk on Fox (Colin Cowherd) and all of his guests and the host, are giving similar dumb analogies. Colin's guest (Nick Wright) said if you killed a good guy and in protest someone bled on your nice carpet causing it to be replaced, why would anyone talk about the carpet???

OK, I'll never get that lunch hour back again and yeah, I'm now dumber for having watched it. But is that where we are with this story now? Is there nothing better to do in America today?

The Fox News CEO sent a memo to all Fox News employees more or less intimating that they should be more like MSDNC and CNN concerning RACE.

I saw Harris Faulkner a couple of days ago chastise Lisa Kennedy on air for being too tough on the rioters, etc. You could tell by the expression on Kennedy's face that she did not like what Faulkner did to her.

I am a 67-year-old white man whose soul is troubled by the attitudes of many on here. My heart grieves for George Floyd and others. I want to speak to white people here because I believe we need to do some serious soul-searching. I'm not saying that other groups don't need to, also, but I believe in looking in to see what is within me before I look out to see what is within others.

As one who believes the Bible, I believe all people throughout history have failed in many ways to live righteously and justly in their relations with their fellow humans. I don't think we have suddenly arrived morally, and that we today have improved so much that we now treat others unfailingly as we should. I think many of us would agree that we are often more blind to our own faults, than we are to the faults of others.

I know many of you do not share my Christian convictions, and I'm not here to argue. As a follower of Jesus, I desire to please Him and obey Him. But, if that is not where you are at, I hope you will still see that soul-searching is profitable to help us to live a better life.

I want to share some verses from the Bible.

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way. Psalm 139:23-24

In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12.

It does us no good in this thread to rehash who was or was not innocent of a crime. It is like being deep in the 4th quarter of a tough game and the team is still arguing about a 3rd down call at mid-field during the 1st quarter.

It deflects from where we are are in this moment.

His leadership is amazing isn’t it? Thousands of people looting and rioting in midtown Manhattan, no big deal. 5 Hasidic Jews gathering in public to pray, Throw their asses in jail.

He has a bigger stage than anyone else which makes him look like a bigger fool but hes far from the only mayor in this boat.
