WTF is happening in this country?

The Left wants to turn it into a Marxist hellhole. That's why after all these incidents, there's always this talk of how we need to come together, or address "systemic racism" or some other BS. Then the conversation quickly turns to money.

They may be linked in your mind and heart, but not in mine. Evil is evil. Good is good.

Wonder if they were ‘ordered’ to?

Also, someone post the classic ‘not this sh*t again’ pic for me please!

They let their citizens at the mercy of terrorists. They let them burn taxpayer businesses and beat the citizens. And they bow down to the terrorists. They will not get any respect from the terrorists ever. Now they lost the respect of the citizens.

I don’t get your point. In the Minneapolis incident, A Black person wasn’t just ‘killed by whitey’.

In the video, a subdued citizen’s breathing was deliberately cut off by a Police Officer, which prolonged excessive force apparently led to the citizen’s death.

This wasn’t just ‘street crime’ perpetrated by thugs. A trusted Law Enforcement officer did this.

Well perfect. Just perfect. Florida officers not inforcing the law. Haven’t we already been do this road? This is BS. If those officers want to show solidarity with the “protesters” let them do it on their own time, out of uniform, not while there are drawing pay from the majority of us who abide by the laws in the first place.

The demonstration in question was peaceful and run by local pastors protesting a murder. Tge cops here felt either sympathy or that the person left way to ensure order was to show the demonstrators they had nothing to fear unless they started trouble. When I saw this I had a flashback to a 3ID captain entering a village in Iraq and approaching the elders with his weapon laid aside and his arms spread out in peace. He was successful in avoiding a fight.
If displays such as these divide the genuine outraged protestors from the Antifa members who are hoping a police fusillade leaves dozens of black bodies, if they see separate these two groups then their efforts will be judged for the better. FLAME AWAY!!!

When evil commits evil in the name of a dead black man, they’re connected, and will be forever.

This rioting and looting has nothing to do with Floyd. It is organized and choreographed by leftist Antifa related organizations to hasten the ending of this once great Republic.

Surreal is the correct word. Ever since Cov19 kicked in things have been getting surreal with bits borrowed from a direct to DVD dystopian sci-fi movie.

I am glad you don’t get my point. This hard truth about inter-racial crime is better for men to worry about. Better for you to keep up with the cooking.

I hear you. But I'm pointing out that whenever there is an incident like this that involves race, the Left immediately starts talking about how we need to have a national conversation blah blah blah. But it's both a red herring and a false premise so that the Left can introduce even more socialism.

Funny - I thought ‘men’ were supposed to be the logical ones; instead of being the ones posting specious arguments which bear no relation to the facts of the current case at all.

But, carry on with your emotional venting; it apparently does your little heart good.
