Zuckerberg won't take down Trump's latest posts

He's been saying that he doesn't want to be the arbiter of what is posted. Is Zuck becoming a bit more libertarian in his old age?

...Minnesota governor warns violence could last days...

1. So he's not gonna do anything about it? What good is he?

2. Would he act differently if it was a bunch of white conservatives out rioting (like that would happen!)?

What do you expect him to do in the mist of a Pandemic?

Er, never mind. </sarc>

Rioters demand justice? The bad cop has been arrested and charged with murder. What do they want? To see him lynched? (rhetorical question)

Sounds like just another excuse, any excuse, to burn down their neighborhood and steal some stuff. But, “justice”, right?

Is this ‘Plan D’, or have I missed a few plans?

A. Russiagate
B. Impeachment
C. CCP-Coronavirus
D. Race riots

Unfortunately for the ChiComs/Schwartz György, enough Americans see that it is ‘the usual suspects’ stirring up all the same old Obama. Enough Americans see through the bull-Schiff to realize this is a put-up job, the left ‘never letting a crisis go to waste’.

Describing rioting as a legitimate call for justice has been promoted by the propaganda press for so many years that many people may actually believe that looting is OK. People raised to believe that their every failure, big and small, is someone else’s fault, have few boundaries on their behavior.

NBC has a news department?
Who knew?
And here I was thinking they have a propaganda, disinformation and dirty tricks department.

The full report of the ME is pending but the ME has made the following preliminary findings. The autopsy revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation. Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.

If it turns out that the police did NOT kill Floyd, that the mere restraint of his person sent him into a panic and cardiac arrest, the new spate of rioting will be spectacular.

It's a shame that Minnesota elected an empty suit, rather than a Governor.

The media never fails to add fuel to the fire with headlines and twisted facts and toss in a few agenda items.
The news media will never be trusted like it once was.

I just heard this rioting described as “civil unrest” because of Covid19. So nice of the media to make excuses for criminal behavior...

I see some cities are able to make arrests...what’s the excuse for the ones who can’t/won’t?

If that preliminary autopsy report stands then they’ll have a hard time getting a murder conviction, but I’d think a manslaughter conviction is probably a slam dunk.
