oh nos the infamous mrs parucci is back!! <3
Yes I’m back, a little dusty in the forums these days... let’s see if we can fix that
I think all the people outraged at the silent protests by NFL players in recent seasons better buckle up come this fall.
suns out.

Peacefully protest, get blackballed. Protest the killing of a black man by 4 cops in broad daylight, 45 threatens to shoot you. But if you're a white terrorist with an AR-15 at the state capital building, 45 supports you. Nov. 3rd can't come fast enough
If you want the a-hole out on Nov 3, people in swing states need to come out and vote. Legal experts and activists need to counter the voter suppression that will likely occur in those swing states. Everyone needs to do their part.

Not just that. You need to actively campaign for Biden. Volunteer to canvas door to door or in a phone bank. Talk to your friends and explain why Trump must be defeated. Be armed with facts and stats. Donate money. Talk to your undecided neighbours. Etc etc.
No issues with the looters or A-holes burning the buildings?
The Racist in Chief, "When the looting starts the shooting starts." Looting is wrong but nowhere in the US are police officers allowed to execute looters before they're even arrested. The WH tries to defend this "clever" rhyme by saying, "The President did not glorify violence. He clearly condemned it."
You know, the old, don't believe what you read, this is what you read.
@bman posted:Of course. It's completely wrong. What's your point?
Just checking...no mention yet. That is one disturbing video to watch. How in the world did the other officer's not try to make that guy stop. Really disgusting. This was more disturbing to see than the jogger in GA. Tragic...

Interesting that his first post about the Milwaukee troubles was about the riots, not the murder of an unresisting handcuffed black man.

Rioters and looters are criminals. Their efforts would have been better spent finding the murdering scumbag cop and his POS partners from the scene and stringing them up in the street. How’s that?

Ditto!
Also, the actions taken is what is required for a justified response all too often, unfortunately. You didn’t see the governor calling major press conferences prior to the outbreak. You didn’t hear or read from the racist in the Oval Office calling the governor or mayor prior to the outbreak.
The racist in the Oval Office fans the flame, uses inflammatory words and recommends shooting law breakers ( not arresting) as opposed to say... calling the Floyd family, working with authorities prior to an outbreak to see if the justice department can assist and have a calming voice and telling the city justice would be done.
I will be interesting to see what the 18 prior complaints were against the officer and why the other officers didn’t intervene.
So Billhike thinks it would be better that rioter's "efforts would have been better spent finding the murdering scumbag cop and his POS partners from the scene and stringing them up in the street." And you all agree with that?
Why would anyone else have to agree? They are my words. The cops in question are subhuman garbage who make every good police officer’s job that much more difficult. There is absolutely no justification for their vile actions. F them.
Are you ok with the “president’s” tweet about shooting looters, or are you buying into his pathetic attempt at walking it back?

Now that is interesting. You take issue with a faceless, powerless person on a wine forum, yet say nothing about the most powerful person in the world saying shoot the looters. 🤣😂🤣
Talk about zero credibility...
Actually, I just asked if anyone else agreed with Billhike's suggestion. I guess I got your answer above. Anybody else want to reply? Would like to hear from the lawyers on this Forum (Irwin, others?)
Actually, I don’t see a single answer to your question other than Bill’s. I’m glad you find that satisfactory.
Looks like protesters in multiple cities this evening as the orange pile of dung writes executive orders against Twitter.🤣😂😅
No one can ever argue the POS ( Dump, not you arsenal) has his priorities in order.

I agree with billhike more often than not, however I disagree with him on this. As much as I do agree that the cop who was directly responsible and the 3 others who did nothing to stop him are total Ps of S, we are a nation of laws and the legal system should deal with lawbreakers whether they be civilians, cops or presidents.
PH
Zuckerberg, you have enough money for you and your unborn grandchildren. Let your balls drop for goodness sakes!
PurpleHaze - I agree with you completely. You wrote exactly how I hope all people feel. We are a nation of laws. No matter how heinous the crime, all people deserve their time in court. Hopefully people won't act out what Billhike suggested and become vigilantes.

... Or Trump’s assertion of “ the shooting starts.” That is so very law abiding.

There's a certain level of morality that I hope all of my fellow Americans share. There's also this other thing called common sense. We shoot the shit on a forum because it's a forum and we should. The president of the US telling when the looting starts, the shooting starts and has a few tweets before and after talking about inept local govt and how the national guard is coming in is an entirely different level.
So on that note, I will throw it out, where are all the 2A folks that were oh so worried about big federal government restricting our freedoms. Military rolls in, that's curfew. Isnt the point of the 2A exactly to stop this? Your grievances are no longer heard, so you get out en masse on the streets. I recall the boston tea party involved some destruction of property also.
Also, did anybody see the false flag planting by the yet to be determined cop with an umbrella and a hammer breaking down t he glass at the autozone that folks were blaming the looters?

not sure what the question is. I am sure that 100% of us think that murder is wrong. I am sure that 100% of us think it is wrong when it is a drug dealer killing a drug dealer, or a drug dealer shooting a gun and having the bullet hit a passerby, or when a police officer, acting under color of law, kills someone.
Now, it seems that Mr. Floyd was a suspect in a non-violent crime, namely trying to pass a false $20 bill. The video that I have seen shows him walking calmly while restrained with handcuffs before, for some reason unknown to me, he is on the ground, with a cop's foot on his neck. I don't practice criminal law in MInnesota, but, I am confident in saying that Mr. Floyd's alleged crime is not punishable by death in Minnesota, or any sort of physical punishment.
From what I have observed with Baltimore City police officers in court and otherwise, if a police officer were to testify that the planets go around the sun, I'm not sure I'd believe him. Of course, there are some police officers who are good people, and one should not throw out the whole barrel of apples if one apple is rotten. But some police forces are so corrupt and rotten that fumigating the orchard is the correct approach.
I disagree that the officers in question here in Minnesota should be tracked down by vigilantes and summarily executed. I think they should be tried first, and if convicted, should be placed in cages and wheeled around the city so that citizens can throw eggs and rotten tomatoes at them, and then piss on them. You could charge a few bucks for this privilege and raise some funds for a good cause. Then, the cops should be taken out an summarily executed.
Look...these killings of black men in custody have been going on for a long time. It's just that recently there has sometimes been cellphone video. Does any rational person think that these in custody killings commenced with the advent of cellphones?
That's kinda what I think at this moment of anger and disgust.
I don't support rioters and looters. I think that reaction, by people who perceive that they have no power other than to do this to make a statement, is a terrible thing. These people should be educated to register to vote, run for office, and overthrow the system from within.

Best thing I've read in a very long time. Especially the last para.
Yup
If you read the most recent tweets of the “president”, he seems to be daring protesters to escalate, and claims that the SS agents are clamoring for action.
What a great sight to see the launch today. America back in space. Pretty awesome.
Trumpers like to self-congratulate on non-achievements.
During my life there's been a number of major riots. I vaguely remember the original Watts Riot of 1965, said to be the first urban riot. Martin Luther King riots which resemble more closely this outbreak of pockets across the US, the Democratic Convention's "police riot" and I think the worst of all, the Rodney King verdict riots in 1992. My mother and stepfather lived in LA and I would be up there at least once a month plus my business took me there regularly before, and then after to survey the damage to stores I supplied. It was truly horrible with I think something like 60 people dead. All I could remember during the time was doesn't someone have a plan in the police department? This one has the potential to turn into the worst.
Right now I'm watching a store in LA getting looted by people of all races, creeds and colors. Finally America's coming together on something! It is so hard to believe how unprepared Los Angeles was for this. Especially with almost everyone in city government being there during the 1992 riots. The National Guard is apparently arriving at midnight. I just can't believe they weren't pre-staged.
And during these times a number of Americans brought us not only a racist and a bigot, but the worst and most incompetent president in modern history. Just in time to take on a pandemic, by denying, and foot-dragging and offering insane medical advice. And to address issues of race and justice for which he has no standing or credibility. Big boo boo.

You really find a need to make a non-political statement political? Self-congratulating and a non-achievement....what a moronic statement.
Go join the rioters for a more achievable and self-congratulating experience.
“Americans back in space”. Only an idiot would make it a highlight for their day. Scott Kelly spent two years in space, returning in 2016. That’s noteworthy.
Americans creating a vaccine would be noteworthy. Having a test available to all Americans would be noteworthy.
Making a fucking grilled cheese sandwich is more noteworthy.

I doubt you know what a moronic statement is. Here are a few examples in the last couple of months:
“It’s a very contagious virus. It’s incredible. But it’s something we have tremendous control of.”
“I always treated the Chinese Virus very seriously.”
“A drug called Chloroquine … is showing very, very encouraging early results, and we’re going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately, and that’s where the FDA has been so great, they’ve gone through the approval process, and it’s been approved.”
"They [MAGA people] love African-American people, they love black people."
So MAGA is separate from black people. Finally got that cleared up. One day they'll be a book of all the lies and outrages perpetrated by this little man; it will weigh about 20 pounds.
