As I said before, GO FUCK yourself. You are either fat and lazy not to march, or you're just lazy. You sit in front of your computer and post shit when you could actually be doing something constructive. Then you post a disclaimer. I won't reply anymore to you, but I do hope you'll do something, anything, to make our country better, besides typing.

Again, you have to march, according to this genius, or you support the other side. And if you do march you're supposed to get into fights with people they're not just protesting. You sure are smart.
@arsenal4ever posted:Exactly. They are all complicit. But right now, in cities everywhere, cops aren't the problem. What you and I see happening is criminal behavior in the name of George Lloyd. I marched Thursday and Friday nights in Sacramento in support of him and others and to stop police actions like his murder. The crowd around me was mostly peaceful; then turned violent when night fell. I won't march again, but I hope you will.
It's very convenient for you to adjust your timeline to the protesters. You can't solve one without having to solve the other.
Irony is a group of folks condemning a group called the anti facists but then at the same time trying to both suggest and implement martial law. Also suggest the federal government use their military in putting down its citizens. We call them facists and dictators when i was growing up.
@doubled posted:Although I get the anger, I just don't get some of the indiscriminate destruction that most often benefit the community.
Yep. I get the anger and frustration. But the rioting and looting is (1) counterproductive to the cause and (2) outright immoral. (As immoral as murdering a cuffed man by kneeling on his neck? Of course not. But that doesn't make it acceptable.)
Ironic that 45 called the Governors 'weak' as he sits in a bunker with the lights off, hiding from the multiple crises going on all around him.

Well, Antifa is terrible. It doesn't matter the name. But it is a very loosely associated group of mostly white far-left violent and semi-violent radicals and anarchists. They have been doing (usually anonymous) violence for stupid reasons for years. But, there is no power structure nor can any one thing be ascribed to all its members.
On the other hand, Tom Cotton just suggested we violate American and international crimes against humanity law and call in our military and give protesters "no quarter". Jesus. Where are real anti-Fascists with actual power when you need them?

Read some info that far right groups are also involved in the destruction, for example the Boogaloo Bois. But who knows?
@patespo1 posted:‘Time to show some real force and end this’? What exactly does that mean?
That simply means...shut this nonsense down. With a show of military force if need be and arrest these rioters and looters and arsonists.

mace her, kick her over, then kick away her water bottle. class.
And to napacat, you have shown some incredible stupidity these past few months.
It's called the second amendment. This protest is literally engrained in our constitution.

It is so hard to discuss anything with people who only have a this or that approach. When did I even condone the kicking of a young girl protesting? Protesting is fine. Violence, looting and setting things ablaze is not protesting. Once you cross the line from protesting to breaking the law...you should be arrested.
These police officers in cities across the U.S do a remarkable job every day. They are generally dealing with the worst of society on a daily basis. They want to get home safely to their families...I'll give me benefit of the doubt to an officer of the law way before letting a group of people loot and burn our cities.
Crazy. We had a couple white guys w full mask and suit with out of state plates fortunately pulled over but they ran and are holed up in a local motel. In the car was crowbars, explosives and guns.
Ny protests have been very peaceful but it seems there is a segment of the alt right that wants to mess it up for the rest of us

Pot meet kettle.
Oh and these were cops who kicked over the young girl sitting there because there was mace in her eyes. They also kicked away her water btl she was using to wash her eyes out.
But i dont expect an ignorant fool like you to actually read the whole story before spewing your bullshit all over. Set up a fertilizer farm. You might get some buyers finally.

But but but I thought all the violence and destruction was Antifa and the radical left?! You mean right-wing yahoos are also causing trouble? Quick, someone tell the President and the AG so they can spring into action against them!

More than a few are ingrained in the system.
The more i see this the more i feel all police unions should be abolished.

On a conference call with governors today, ours (who I didn’t vote for but don’t really dislike either) called out the “president” for his rhetoric. The orange shitstain retorted that During the Covid crisis, he didn’t care for his rhetoric either. Worthless, idiotic child. Really tough talk from a pussy who had daddy pay off a doctor to keep him from the draft pool.
Police just moved out peaceful protesters with gas and rubber bullets, in Washington DC, so that the racist in charge of our country can go over to the church across the street for a photo op.
Pathetic little man posing with his favorite book, the Bible. I'm not making this up.

Peaceful protesters just had teargas and rubber bullets fired at them.
Trump holding a bible in front of a church? What did this reality TV moment cost this country as the country and world laughs?

I was hoping my sarcasm was obvious. This man is a reality show clown and is using a church and a Bible, something he really has nothing to do with, as props.

He called out the US Military to fire rubber bullets and teargas what was clearly a peaceful protest so he could walk to a church for a photo op?
A reality TV president who doesn’t want to talk about America leading the world in both cases and deaths with the virus, the murder of a man caught on video and he has his photo op with an all white team standing next to him.
Most exercise he's gotten in years.
Now reports saying Trump so upset about the world knowing he went to the bunker to hide so he pulled this stunt. It was so quickly planned that even the Secret Service was caught off guard and were clearing roofs literally minutes before the orange pumpkin rolled down the street.
A law & order president. Never mind about the law & order of police murdering a man for 8 minutes as the camera rolled.
Yet still, the Trumpers believe the Clown is their hero.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, who I think is a big macher in the Episcopalian Dioceses of Washington, is expressing her shock that a building and items of her faith were used not to promote faith or community, but division. Though not using the word I believe she's accusing him of blasphemy for trying to bend a religion to his political needs. She's pissed. I'm afraid there's a chance that today's shit-show is a test for using the military if Trump loses, or looks like he's going to lose, the election. Everyday this paranoiac idea seems more possible.

I'm not religious, but I admire religious folk who walk the walk. I'll bet that she does.

Sure MSNBC g-man...blame it on the alt right. Do you have a TV? Eyes? Or do you just go with marching orders...you sad TOOL. How do you like your city being destroyed? Weak minded liberal loser. Look at these young morons using a cellphone to commemorate their actions...more losers.
You liberals have a mental disorder. I hope President Trump keeps his word and uses the Military tomorrow. Crush these losers! Your mayor and governor are a complete disgrace. Unequipped to handle C-19 or this. Disgusting.

bah some more sheep.
You don't even know where my city is. I'm a big local supporter in my city. The entire elected staff in my city knows me. I donate time and money to my city. Something that appears to be very foreign to you.
As with liberal, you don't even know the meaning of the word. I won't even go so far as labeling you anything, because you individually, seem completely void of any sort of intelligence. You latch on to whatever someone else spews. Your story is not original, nor creative. It has been repeated and bleated many many times before. Matter of fact, this entire time you have been posting, there has not been a single original post out of your mouth that wasn't copy and pasted from someone else's work.
So yes, you clearly have a mental deficiency.

My friend, the former head of the Episcopal Diocese in Maryland, forwarded this:
Unfortunately Trumpers can’t read. They like pictures like the photo of the Clown standing in front of the church with a Bible.
@flwino posted:It is a shame when he says open the church so we can pray, and he plays golf. Rather than holding up the bible, maybe he should open it and read some passages, and try to console the country. A real class hypocrite!
Well, he ‘tried’ reading the Bible once and it only proved he is nothing more than a conman and fraud. Two Corinthians. 🤣😂😅. Fraud.
Pray? He was asked on camera once about prayer and asking for forgiveness. I think any Christian remembers his reply. Sin? I do not regret never asking God for forgiveness he told Maxwell Tani of Business Insider. There are so many other examples of him responding the same.
“Mr. President, is that your bible?” “It’s a bible.” His bible? 🙈. Stop it!
President Pinocchio continues to use religious buildings as a prop. Today he's at John Paul II National Shrine to continue this farce. Here's an interesting quote from the Pope,
"Love for one’s country is thus a value to be fostered, without narrow-mindedness but with love for the whole human family and with an effort to avoid those pathological manifestations which occur when the sense of belonging turns into self-exaltation, the rejection of diversity, and forms of nationalism, racism and xenophobia."
Pretty far-seeing that Pope.
I get that at least 50% of his base are "deplorables" filled with racists and bigots (It's not Democrats out there waving confederate flags and wearing Nazi symbols) but what about the other 50%? How do you watch and listen to his daily stream of filth of racism, bigotry, outrages and lies and think to yourself--that's my guy? Unfortunately (or typically) his biggest defender here has such a poor handle on language, clear thinking and logic we may never know.
