You can't be totally unaware of the narrative. How many out of 10 would you guess say it was racially motivated if asked?

Loaded question. What is the racial and political make up of these hypothetical 10 people because I can guarantee it will effect the answers you get.

I meant to add of protesters in that question but somehow left it out.

WTF? Do you keep up with anything? This girl was Johnny Majors niece and she was killed by 3 black males that have now admitted to killing her. There is nothing hypothetical here.

Uh yeah, her hypothetical was "if 3 white kids killed a black girl"

Are you keeping up?

I recall mocking the stupidity of the pandering aspect, but I don't remember making a 1st amendment gripe out of it. I assume you're going to offer me some sort of apology now? You have the opportunity.

What am I supposed to glean from this hour-long video from an AG that I do not trust? That he's pulling a play straight out of the I'm full of **** playbook "the agitators were foreign!"

You are hereby exempted and my sincerest apologies.

But perhaps I should retract based upon the fact that Barr did not say the agitators were foreign but that foreign groups on both sides of the political spectrum were involved with domestic counterparts in the mayhem. That you do not trust Barr is your own unfounded axe to grind.

You have a -1 deficit.

No sense in watching the video. It’s just him lying about how violent and unruly the protest was when they started gassing and assaulting them.

There are videos from the protest itself. Nobody needs to take his word for it. And nobody should.

A number of people - @bnhunt @volfanhill @RockyTop85 @zeppelin128 @n_huffhines - a few off the top of my head, have characterized the Lafayette perimeter expansion as simply an abusive disregard of 1st amendment rights to stage a photo op.

I give you the opportunity to say "I was wrong. Though lacking impulse control to determine the facts, I should have learned my lesson - even in my reactive state - to not accept as fact my preferred media spoonfeedings."
Queue at 34:00.

Now, no need to thank me for no having to parrot *this* false narrative, at least; I do it from benevolence and love for you, my fellow citizens. I'm sure I'll have other opportunities for us to come together.

"Ahhhmerrrrica!...Ahmerrrrica...."

Oh. This is a parody account.

Well played. You had me going for months.

Not very original, and The Colbert Report did it better. But it definitely had me going for a while.

Cops are trained on basic first aid. He could have stopped and rendered aid.

I agree, for a change. One cop should have stayed with the man until a medic was there. You don't go shoving elderly around as if they're a healthy 40 year-old with reflexes enough to not fall straight back and crack their head. There has to be a situational awareness to law enforcement.

Asking you. Easy to find, right?

Or we should just happily go along with Kamara's stories, which at this point are essentially hypothetical.

What? I don't really care and am not looking since it was her hypothetical. Everyone said I should have understood she really meant 4 racially diverse cops kill a black man instead

What she was getting at if things were reversed people would be screaming it was because the girl was black and the kids were white. They would be calling for the doj to start a civil rights investigation. There would be rioting & looting and "protesting".

You got me! The part about you retracting your reactionary response when the facts are made clear, is pure satire.

Maybe we should spend less time worrying about what some stupid people might do and more time dealing with facts. That's why I asked if anyone had any to back her up and no one took the challenge. Seems even she wouldn't

I saw nothing in that video that is more persuasive than the videos I watched of the actual protest.

I’m not sure why I would admit I was wrong. How about you watch videos of the actual protest and then admit you’re wrong about “trusting” (😉😉) Bill Barr.

Guffawing LOL...what facts support your contention that Barr is lying? I mean, if you could do that, you - Rockytop85 - could single-handedly neuter THE U.S. AG. You could agitate on national, prime time networks and we could say "Hey, I knew RT85 when he was just a VN schmoe!"

If you are young or elderly, when you see a line of police marching toward you, you get out of the way. It was his own damn fault he was injured.
