America’s No.1 tennis player John Isner has slammed rioters for going about their protests the wrong way following the tragic death of George Floyd.

Floyd – an African-American man – died in Minneapolis after a police officer was filmed kneeling on his neck during an arrest on Monday.

Nationwide protests against racial injustice and police brutality gripped the country over the weekend, which prompted many sport stars to voice their opinion.

UFC star Jon Jones was one athlete seen on the street confronting protesters during the looting and vandalism that has left cities reeling.

Now, Isner has called for rioters damaging and looting buildings to be arrested.

St Johns church is a 205 years old historic landmark and place of healing. This is absolutely pathetic. Arrest these anarchist losers. https://twitter.com/breaking911/status/1267283529706151938 …

One video that enraged Isner was footage that appeared to show rioters setting ablaze a homeless man’s belongings.

“Really something to cheer about. Arrest them all,” he wrote.

Isner copped plenty of backlash from fans that took aim at him for some of his tweets.

Good to know there's a few sane athletes out there.

John Isner-racis’.

[dfwgator]

Hopefully he won’t go Brees on us.

I appreciate him saying that, but they will be released just as soon as possible with no charges by Soros planted DAs.

We are in quite a pickle.

I’ve heard that in Ireland and Hong Kong - maybe more locations - looters are sprayed with indelible dye and then arrested later.

Sounds good to me. Also sounds too proactive for some of these local “governments”.

Wait until LeBron and Jay Z shout him down.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Arresting them all is the only way to get the violence to stop.
Good protesters don’t break curfews, don’t loot, don’t set fires, don’t injure and don’t murder!!

John be apologizing in 3-2-1....

“...I’ve heard that in Ireland and Hong Kong - maybe more locations - looters are sprayed with indelible dye and then arrested later....”

In Israel, they have that nasty stink juice that they spray em with, and that crap won’t wash off for days and it’s a horrible, rancid odor.
Here, we’re supposed to have a so-called “Brown Note Cannon” that causes severe diarrhea and stomach cramps but no one has ever seen its existence or it in use...so probably a rumor.
Here, I think the govt knows every single one of these POS via of their cellphones...they don’t need to spray em with dye. They already know who they are.

[donozark]

Already happened in StL. today. That Soros bitch Kim Gardner cut ‘em loose. Round two of rioting/looting/arson begins in 5-4-3....

[wally_bert]

Lots of empty desert to corral these people.

Fence and wire.

Personally, I think every person protesting in this case is one of four things:

1. Ignorant non-militant liberals who fully accept the word of the Media and BLM that there is an epidemic of entrenched racist police assassinating black men in the streets of this country. These people are protesting because they are ignorant and believe their virtue signaling regardless of the accuracy of that assertion makes them good people. These are the people we saw a crowd of, kneeling down in front of blacks to apologize for their "white privilege". These people are known as "Cucks" or "Useful Idiots".
   
   
2. Ignorant Militants who fully accept that same flawed premise, and believe that the perceived injustice should be met with violence and destruction to bring down a government, and the fact that Trump is at the top of it makes it even more justified in their eyes.
   
   
3. People who don't care about injustice any further than using it as an excuse to loot, assault, cause mayhem and violence, and destroy things.
   
   
4. Violent ideological militants who either know the assertions are false or don't care, and are engaged in this process to either loot and/or bring down a government, and the fact that Trump is at the top makes it an even more worthy goal in their eyes.

The only ones I view with anything less than hatred are the ones in the first category, because they are exercising their rights, no matter how uninformed, stupid, pathetic, or ideologically cuckolded they might be. I view them with a degree of contempt. In any case, I despise them all with increasing contempt from the top to the bottom of that listing.

We can always hope.

[ealgeone]

He’ll be forced to.

[xrmusn]

Good a slogan as any.
Once the SHTF, the ‘peacenicks’ should be given a moment or two to ‘get outta Dodge’ then turn on the fire hoses..that dye thing is a good idea.

Remember,

WE MUST DESTROY THE VILLAGE TO SAVE IT!!!!

[PghBaldy]

We are dealing with the reverse of the 50s & 60s, when local & state governments would not hold violent bigots responsible. The Feds stepped in. It remains to be seen if the DOJ will protect the “little people” this time. I doubt it.

[xrmusn]

No fence even...just a line in the sand and ‘store’ those old land mines in the perimeter.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

I agree with everything you said.
How do we wake up these Mob Rule Useful Idiots?

[libertylover]

Good to know there's a few sane athletes out there.

Maybe, but I wouldn't be surprised if he "apologizes" by tomorrow.
