United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

[Battlegrinder]

I think at this point anyone wearing or displaying BLM or Antifa logos needs to be considered a domestic terrorists, or a financer of the same.

And if a bunch of them are armed and in the same place, fucking just hit the with that Katana-Hellfire we used on Solemani. Make them know the fear the insurgents in the ME feel in regards to US air power.

We've crossed the line where optics are most important. These insurgents need to be responded to with force. The insurrection act needs to be activated, and those members of the state and federal government that have protected them need to be charged with treason.

These are very, very bad ideas. Right now, as ugly as things look, in context it's not. There's been, what, like 4 people killed this week, during a dramatic escalation of tensions? That's what you call "a good weekend" up in Chicago. Right now, people are getting away with this because it's politically difficult to shut them down forcefully. The US public has never liked seeing the cops tear gassing crowds, regardless of the reason, an unfortunate side effect of a culture that celebrates rebellion against authority. This is made worse when the protest is claiming the police themselves are the bad guys, and has a sympathic media on hand to push that message.

But that only works so far, CNN can only have reporters standing on burning streets talking about how peaceful things are for some long until people start noticing, and if bodies start hitting the streets then public sympathy will evaporate, and the cops can move in and restore. BLM is only getting this far because the public buys into thier narrative about innocent people being killed unjustly, the second other bodies show up and the rioters are blamed, the public will change it's tune. Americans don't really like authority figures all that much, but we like not getting murdered way more.


As a general comment, I'd suggest people here take a second to listen to their own thoughts on this situation. I suspect there's a small part of everyone that's like Bacle and Doom's comments here, that's thrilled about the chance to finally see our enemies crushed and driven before us, to hear the lamentations of their women (well....maybe those first two, I think we all know the odds are against them on that last bit). To finally end the chaos and division and be able to move on, once the people causing all the problems are swept away. Listen to that voice. Find out where it's coming from, what fuels that desire....and squash it like a bug the second you get the chance. Strangle it, before it grows stronger.

It's entirely understandable to be upset over what's going on, but take a quick look through the comments section on the tweets people have linked here. You know, the ones full of festering hatred and contempt for the writers enemies, where they revel in the deaths of these people and call out for more. That's what listening to that little voice turns you into, what happens when you let that hateful voice stick around and poison your soul. I don't think any of us want that, and it's in times like these that we have to be most vigilant against that hate.

I think amongst the only solutions that can sort of avoid bad PR is for the police or armed forces to set up a "Wall" or something made of steel and concrete. Harder to kick down or cut through.

Allow for places for citizens who feel scared to flee too

Course, there are other stuff I'm not sure what to account for

Don't think your suburbs or apartments can have big steel walls either

Plus, there's the need to go in and out, people need food and water and don't like being forced in to hiding by circumstance

You make the mistake of thinking I got to this point because I want bloodshed.

I don't, and have fought very long and hard to try to aim for and hope for peace.

But I am not naive enough to believe it will end in any way but bloodshed anymore. How much bloodshed, and whose, is the only question; even Tim Pool is admitting that now.

I am someone who wanted this to be dealt with peacefully, without pulling the Insurrection Act switch till their was no other choice. I praised restraint for months, and this is what it has netted us;

What was before what we are now seeing in Portland and Kenosha, in Chicago and NYC, in all the beatings of Trump supporters who dare to fight back and see it get memory holed or twisted by the media, after the lies about the McLucsky's...

They are trying to rob us of the right to self-defense, and they are escalating to openly shooting people in the streets, just for having gear and patches from things like Patriots Prayer and Blue Lives matter.

You want to lord over us, tell people to crush any thoughts of wanting to deal with violent militants as violent militants, despite people like me trying very hard to keep things calm till it became a moot point.

I tried to promote healing and got shit for it for not taking the threats seriously. I tried to ignore my gut feeling that the divide we are now seeing is not fixable, and fought against it while taking a lot of insults for it. Yet now none of that matters to you, because you can get a dig at me for being fed up with this bullshit, and recognizing a Rubicon has been crossed.

Good people no longer can count on the cops, or DAs, to be on their side, even if they are legally in the right, for political reasons. This isn't just a base number of deaths we are talking about here, this is in a larger scope, and don't pretend the backdrop of the lockdowns, months of violent riots, and media lies doesn't factor in.

Telling people to 'strangle' any thoughts like this just shows you'd seem to prefer Trump supporters be quiet, kind, and courteous to people looking to shoot us in the street for daring to stand up, instead of roll over.

What I see is a whole lot of desperation from the dems.

While I think there is malicious behavior on the part of the dems I also think they have lost control of the monster they created and unleashed upon us. The actions we have seen are not the actions of a strong confident political party their the actions of some one who is scared and desperate. The democratic party has gone from mistake to mistake. They have alienated a lot of their donor class and have been lashing out at every one around them.

The party itself is full of people with mutually conflicting goals and agendas. What does a neo liberal have in common with communist? What does a hollywood mogel with a love of casting couches have in common with an SJW? How many trans people have a fully legitiment beef with feminists? What does a union worker in a steel mill have in common with an environmentalist?

Sure you say they want free stuff, but how do you devide up the spoils?

Its easy to pay off some one who just wants to be left alone, thats cheap, paying off some one who wants cash and prizes? That isnt cheap. Then on top of it you deal with what happens when you put a collection of control freaks into a singular room. Sooner or later they rip and tear each other into peices. And we are going through a political realinment so every thing is currently up for grabs.


I honestly think the democratic party is heading for a very nasty collapse and I think the people at the top know it.

They might come back but it wont be the same party that came in.

The logic I’ve seen, something I have seen expressed in even many fictional works and interactions with dudes on reddit

Is that they believe the US Government via taxation and redistribution can easily provide all that cash and people are just horribly maliciously greedy and bigoted when they refuse

They will opt to print large amounts of cash and redistribute that. They will go off to look for whoever they can tax or penalize that’s NOT too important to the party’s pockets. They will even go to your rural areas and demand tribute

None of it will sound sane or logical or even nice but they will do it

If they can’t provide the cash, they provide an enemy

This is why they have ramped up the IDPol and antiwhite stuff. As long as you can unify the various factions around the common goal of looting and abusing whites, they will put their hatreds aside. Its a classic coalition of barbarians who temporarily unite with the common goal of looting and plunder.

This is different than normal riots. Normal riots don't have the support of governors and prosecutors.

And the support of multiple businesses both foreign and domestic alongside celebrities

If they outright intensify and increase their negative behavior whilst Trump manages to keep his doors open to those severely put-off by it all

He’ll win, if they quiet it down even mid-Trump-2nd term, there’s a chance they’ll take over again

 

[AnimalNoodles]

Thats because this is a colour revolution on behalf of the dominant but currently out of office faction against the lesser but in office faction. it will continue until trump is gone, or the money runs out, and the money wont run out until the rioters become more of a liability than an asset.

Which is happening more and more because of the rioters...I mean 'peaceful protestors' are driving people into the Trump camp.

You're wrong. The general public will keep their heads down and "wait for it to blow over" - right until BLM is literally running the country, forever (because they'll make sure to turn any future elections into a sham. No Republican will ever be elected into office again. And if you think that's an extreme interpretation of what's going on, then you haven't been paying attention). And treating this issue with kid gloves will merely embolden the lunatics.

For now it's still time for restrain, but after Trump wins the elections I believe he should release the Kraken on these murderous psychos.

 

[Bacle]

So now we have credible confirmation that the man certain ratnests pointed out as the shooter, likely is the shooter.

Already been previously arrested and let go for illegally having a gun.

If the Portland courts and mayor weren't complicit in helping these fucks, this man would have been behind bars and Danielson may still be alive.

 

[Doomsought]

This is the line that has been crossed that needs the insurrection act to be used. The Rule of Law has been suspended for the discretion of patrons to shelter their clients in return for support in the form of political violence.

Great, they let out a guy who should have been locked up, and he goes and murders a Trump supporter a month later.

Fucking wonderful.

Spread this shit EVERYWHERE. We need to overcome the likely silent media on this. They're dropping charges and letting people go, and as a result, they're MURDERING our citizens!

 

[LordsFire]

In places like Chicago and LA, the wild crime persists because they *do* have backing from the corrupt local government.

 

[Bacle]

This will not be reported on in the media, it will not make the evening news, and we all know why.

 

[Rocinante]

That was mostly peaceful

Jokes aside, media won't cover this, but you bet your ass people in the Trump campaign are archiving shit like this for a bunch of ads. The news will hopefully get out there.

In the meantime keep doing your part and keep sharing when you find shit like this. We can't let the media get away with their silence. There's more of us than there is of them. 600,000 people have watched that. Not enough, but a start.

All the laughing at that is sickening.

You know I always wonder what would happen if the Special Forces Community was given a month without any oversight to fix the gang problem in the US. Mind you I suspect the body count would be rather high.

What the fuck if wrong with these people
