From what’s been reported to by in San Fran Bay, it probably wouldn’t make a difference.

The statues came down in cities were all the left wing runs them. the city council has a right to take to have statues if they want. Are we supposed to do go shoot people? People tried to peacefully protest in Charlottesville but a bunch agitators came in from out of state and all of a sudden turn into “white supremacists kills people.” It’s hard to fight when the entire government and media complex is coming after you.

And they also say that the second amendment was written so we could fight against the government if needed.

It's not the federal government knocking down the statues.

It's a bunch of communists and useful idiots knocking down statues in an effort to trigger a backlash by white supremacists flying rebel flags that will in turn, they hope, motivate ever more violent riots.

well the enemy came and everyone stayed home and the statues are gone.

Except in the case of vandalism of federal property, the only people with a dog in the fight are local officials, if the statues are owned locally, and if the locals want to hold them accountable, they are free to do so, and can call in help if they want.

“Notice no Black people are that stupid.”

A majority of black folks can’t swim.

Just an excuse to virtue signal and get outside to a social event. What sad little people.

“While the concept of Black Lives Matter is noble, to extrapolate it to dangerous black criminals in police arrests is not.”

It’s not noble at all. The Black Panthers renamed themselves Black Lives Matter.

How bizarre. Up next: eat Tide Pods for BLM. Hell, why not show total commitment - jump into the Grand Canyon for BLM.

Not icy, but 56 degree water will drain you pretty fast.

Icy? How about cold.


The article did say the water was chilly, which I’m sure it was. But to put in the headline that it was icy waters when the daytime temperature was in the 70’s is something I would call fake news.

How does that support BLM? OH! I see! It’s one of those form without substance things! You know. A meaningless gesture that everyone is told to accept as proof of one’s deep committment and devotion. Like ribbons.

Yes, 56 degrees is approximately the current temperature in San Francisco Bay. That is cold, but as skinny little kids in the 1960s we used to spend a lot of time in the water of the Pacific Ocean 700 miles North of San Francisco where it is typically colder without wet suits and without pretending to make some type of idiotic point.

How quickly it drains you depends a lot on your condition, activity level, how much natural insulation you have (fat) and how determined you are to have a good time. “At a water temperature of 32.5 degrees, death may occur in under 15 - 45 minutes.” “At a water temperature of 50 - 60 degrees, death may occur in 1 - 6 hours.” “At a water temperature of 60 - 70 degrees, death may occur in 2 - 40 hours.” So yes, if you lay still in cool water it can eventually kill you.
