George Floyd Protest/Riots

[Rickyvol77]

“Less socially acceptable opinion” if it makes you feel better

to a vast minority of the American public

 

[FLVOL_79]

Here's where this whole outrage has gotten us. Here we have an incident about a taco shop in Columbus who got a large order from the State Highway patrol for 500 tacos. Three employees throw a fit and walk off the job:



These employees raise hell on social media. Threaten boycotts with the backing of BLM and at the very least the company is forced to close their Columbus locations for a day just to calm everyone down:



Taco store: No, we didn't fire our staff for refusing to serve cops; we are inclusive of everyone (huh?)

So tell me, what's inclusive about refusing to fill an order? I agree with the owners of this shop who said this:

I wonder what the over/under is for all these people who apparently hate cops and want nothing to do with them actually calling them for problems and help? I foresee a Baltimore type situation happening. The local weak dim government capitulates to the masses, pulls out the cop presence, then the masses complain about all the crime and no cops being around..

Backwards. ALM’s very existence is based on shouting at black people for pointing out that black lives matter

Nobody ever said they didn’t? The stats for your outrage doesn’t fit your narrative.

“All Lives Matter” is a denouncement of BLM. It exists only to oppose BLM. Kneeling is a contrarian opposition of *checks notes* ...police brutality? Those aren’t the same thing

What lives are we allowed to say matter right now? Do police lives matter? Just because some group coined their movement with that name does not mean they "own" the lives that matter.

I am waiting on a date from his deeply thought out philosophy.

If it is a universal truth (and it is) then you are being both wounded and obnoxious to feel the need to shout it at black people. No one is saying “not all lives matter”

If it is a universal truth (and it is) then you are being both wounded and obnoxious to feel the need to shout it at white people. No one is saying “not all black lives matter”

See how easy that was? Now this is the part where you give a bleeding heart tribute to black people murdered by police all the time, I ask you to support that claim with evidence, and you stop responding.

It exists ONLY to oppose BLM? Holy hyperbole.

I mentioned this earlier, Floyd had once put a gun to the head of a pregnant woman and robbed her saying he was going to shoot her.

Do you think these rioters cared about her life if he had shot her?

SIAP but I hadn't seen this:

If you're wondering at what point gunning down "protestors" becomes a viable option...this is one.

No of course they don't care about the female victim. I don't think Floyd should have been killed but at the same time he was a thug and always has been. Both of those things can be true. Some in the black community and white guilt libs want to hold him up as a hero.

Because your “differing opinion” was actually a terrible and insensitive opinion and you’ve admitted as much. Happens all the time.

Adrian Peterson had a differing opinion on beating his kids, I’m sure he still donated

Nice thing about opinions, they’re allowed to be different from person to person. Who the hades gets to decide that a different opinion is wrong? He caved to the thought police and made a financial decision.

Instead of stringing him up for truthfully answering the specific question he was asked, how come nobody asked him specifically for his opinion on current events for clarification? Oh, that’s right... if his opinion was like most of America and the killing was wrong, cops need prosecuted, it wouldn’t fit the screech agenda.

Drew Brees took a Knee. He caved in to the Mob.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Except during that time he’s taking a knee while everyone else is actually showing respect.

Do you throw a hissy fit when people don’t take their hats off? Or stand up? Or sing along?

Lol. No but it tells me a good bit about them.

Cuomo says George Floyd protesters should 'assume' they have been 'infected' with coronavirus

 

[volfanjustin]

Drew Brees took a Knee. He caved in to the Mob.

He's a coward. I have no doubt what he said yesterday is exactly how he feels, then the liberal SJW wannabe mob got to him and he folded like a cheap suit

OK, but it's still not disrespectful, he's just making them uncomfortable. You can't cry "he made me uncomfortable" unless you want to be the ultimate puss.

Ummm..oh my, how quickly some forget about ‘safe spaces’.

 

[hog88]

It all means nothing if these communities refuse to put in the work to change themselves.

True and I think ownership gives people the motivation to put the work in.

It basically means "anyone that disagrees with my narrow world view should shut up." It is an othering tactic that the far right is excellent at using.

Ironic considering the whole drew brees situation

Ironic considering the whole drew brees situation

Yeah. Too close to see it I guess.

The only person he disrespected was his employer by doing it on the job. IF his employer instructed him not to.
