Once the national guard decides to clear Minneapolis out this is gonna go really, really south.

When riots start, it's because the mob is out of control. Once they've lost control and are running on pure emotion and instinct, they're gonna go home and sleep it off? Do you believe that once damage to property is over, they'll just stop? Reginald Denny may disagree with you.

This is a pretty weak and innuendo-heavy argument to justify murdering someone

It was a damn tweet, so how in the hell do you know it was meant as a threat? And even if it was, so the fawk what? People shouldn't be looting. In case you missed it, looting is not a legitimate form of protest. It's taking advantage of a tragedy to steal **** from people.

Steal from immigrants mainly based on the businesses hit.

Steal from those that literally had nothing to do with this.

It is easily perceived as a threat... and this gets back to what I was saying before, Trump doesn't understand that words matter when coming from the president. People shouldn't be looting... and government leaders shouldn't be escalating an already tense situation, with hostile rhetoric.

Just saw a great comment on this.

In the needless death of Floyd we have a situation where the country is actually united in their outrage. A rare thing in these current times.

And now thanks to these dumbass rioting looters were back to situation normal and just screeching at each other.

Way to go đź‘Ť

*golf clap*

Meh, this lets the audience off the hook. If Floyd’s murder isn’t enough for people to stay focused, that’s on them, rioters are just an excuse for that

And yet you defend Biden's inflammatory rhetoric. You do see the hypocrisy in this, right? Like I said, they both suck. People should be able to recognize that.

Justifiable to be outraged over both.

NO, I DID NOT! If you can find even one post of mine where I defended Biden's "you ain't black" comments, I will never post on this site again. I didn't.

I said that Joe Biden's comments on Charlemagne tha God were bizarre and dumb.

What exactly did Trump have to do with Floyd? He actually worked to have prison reform which is more than any other POTUS has done.

Guess he could put out a letter quoting a cop killer like the Dems did.

Well, he led the charge in silencing the peaceful protesters of police brutality in the NFL. Are you really surprised that he is getting backlash?

Well then not sure why you quoted my post explicitly about ending someone’s life

I was relating to the difference between the minor property damage quote and how some feel its perfectly acceptable. Maybe that was EL's quote and I linked wrong one.

everyone is getting backlash.

On the balance I'd say actions on prison reform trump (no pun) commentary about Colin K.

The protests would have probably happened anyway but I suspect they are more amplified because of the lockdown people have been forced to live under.

No worries (and my last post was snappier than I meant it to be, sorry)
