And This Is Why NBA Coaches Should Zip It When It Comes to Politics

"When are we going to do something?" Kerr yelled, slamming his fists on the table. "I'm tired. I am so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there. I am so tired of the, excuse, I am sorry, I am tired of the moments of silence. Enough!"

Kerr has long been outspoken against gun violence. His father was shot dead in a terrorist attack in Beirut in 1984, and he has spent much of his professional life calling for gun law reform.

On numerous occasions, including Tuesday, Kerr has pointed to H.R.8, a bill that would tighten background check rules for firearm transfers among private parties. That bill passed in the U.S. House of Representatives in early 2021, but it never got to the Senate floor.

"There's a reason why they won't vote on it," Kerr said. "To hold on to power."

“This is a real reckoning for much of America, especially white America,” said Kerr as he spoke to the crowd.

He joined dozens of Oakland Unified School district parents and students who are calling for the district to dismantle its internal police force.

“We’re really pushing for a community driven process where parents, teachers, students come to the table and design a collective safety plan,” said Jessica Black, from the Black Organizing Project.

Activists with the Black Organizing Project say the death of George Floyd and the national discussion over racial inequality underscores the moral argument they have been making for nearly a decade.

The Left won’t be happy until all of America looks like Chicago.

Xi is happy with how his tall, well paid, gypsies dance in the U.S. to anything that please him and trashes the U.S.

HR8 would not have pre
vented the loss of life in this case. He needs to be upset about something else entirely.

NBA players should also “zip it”. Both above and below the belt line. They should stick to chucking a ball around for way too much money.

OK, Mr Kerr, then I’m sure in the coming day’s you’ll be announcing your resignation from the NBA. You’ll renounce your exploitation of mostly black players who entertain mostly white people, and dedicate yourself to improvement of the black community, along with Popovich (whose team sucks this year, and hence didn’t get the press you got).

Uh, I don't think gun law "reform" would have stopped Beirut terrorists from killing his father.

NBA market is catered to urban areas in America and China. They don’t care what people think in Peoria.

I just want him to live as a normal American and be defenseless as he wants us all to be.....

guns should never be in the hands of nuts and kooks and criminals period and the laws are there to prevent that and it is not MY fault that the laws are not enforced.....

I also wonder why families would not sound the alarm when their mentally creepy kid is buying guns....
