United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

[Bear Ribs]

So this just happened. This is the first death so far in a looting of a jewelry store as far as I know, and it was a black police officer no less.

Saw this awhile back here

There was also a vid on twitter of a girl whose sister was killed by the rioters, she wasn’t white and got really fucking pissed and depressed at the same time

She doesn’t like them going on and using race as a shield.....I think she’s gonna need help and best not for her to be near any BLM or ANTIFA types

It's not going to be civil war.

Indeed and there is not gonna be one in the near future either. 28 cities does not a Civil War make. If that was the case we would have had that during the 60s.

I certainly don't expect one before the election. Riots and maybe a bombing or two but not civil war. Now if Biden wins and tries to pack the Supreme Court or confiscate guns? That's another story.

You'll still be getting an increase in gun ownership, both legal and illegal

I think they may still try doing that even if Trump wins, at the very least as a desperate attempt

If Trump defends those people's rights, hell if the police join those people....it maybe the Far Left who go back home grumbling

My section called me overreacting when i pointed out cops going through a crowd in vehicles and why they did what they did ramming throiugh and they were going "WHy would they do that?" and I said "Because they would rip the cops out of the cars and bea them half to death or to death."
We have had LEO ambushed by van and shot. We have the recent NYPD ambush

Overreacting? They have no idea about the trucker who nearly died in a past riot do they?

If the FedEx trucker didn't stop the trucker would be one of them.

Don't know if its come up but apparently twitter removed a Trump video calling for unity. Without providing a clear reason.

Even acknowledging it existed is a bad idea for Youtube, because it REALLY goes against the narrative

I’m honestly surprised that guys like Steven Crowder and other anti-FarLeft types are allowed a voice on youtube till now

The next time there's a riot would the next president fuck with social media to stop the online cohesion?

The Democrat removed her mask to speak to the cameras and threw social distancing out the window for the photo opportunity

I don’t think the politicians are concerned even for themselves in-regards to catching corona.....no social distancing anymore for them

You’re supposed to let them get away

Well, those Gardners are unfortunately probably not gonna be able to operate their bar anymore

Deleting their BLM posts? How’d any decide to do that

Well, the longer the riots and attacks on innocent people keep happening the worse it looks to support them.

So you have the initial knee-jerk reaction to Floyd dying, which fair enough, was a utterly horrible thing i don't think anyone is defending.

But now cities are burning and people that had absolutely nothing to do with it are dying or having their lives ruined.

It doesn't take a genius to see that might not be something they really want to support so time to start burying stuff and hoping no one will remember the stuff they said in support of the rioters.

They are soulless corporations. They don't actually care. They just wanted some easy virtue signaling and will drop it just as fast if it starts looking bad to do so.

Any chance that the soulless corporations’ own soulless heads wake up and realize how supporting and pandering to the Far Left types is something that leads to disaster and even self-humiliation?

I mean, if even when surrounded by ideaologues telling em that WOKE is the way to get lots of customers now....or at least the future, they realize it’s a bad idea.....then maybe it’s a start

It won’t be bad sales that un-WOKE them, it’d be realizing how bad even being implicated or mentioned next to em is like....also the fact their businesses aren’t exempt from the looting and burning

Opportunistic grifting is the way it is.

Even the money being passed around to the deceased's family. How wisely do you think they'll spend it? They're now rich and being so rich with no sound sense of managing money it'll soon be wasted.

 

[Zachowon]

Okay

Still, best not underestimate or go to sort of romanticizing these dudes

Say, are you guys looking for possible provokateurs?

And the whole thing about there being varying levels of coordination? If there are “masterminds” are they being looked for?

We arnt and have not been. The US military definently has not as we know what orginizers of riots can do if left unstopped

Indeed and there is not gonna be one in the near future either. 28 cities does not a Civil War make. If that was the case we would have had that during the 60s.

Especially since it is only cities

Well i did kinda blurt it out. Was how I was saying ti. So there is that

Steven has Half-Asian lawyer bill richmond to make sure he cant be taken down without a fight

Better it goes to them then any of the Antifa aligned groups rioting right now. The worst they can do with it is waste it on things they shouldn't be wasting money on like drugs or alcohol which while bad is ultimately going to only impact them.

Just saying it as I see it. The money will be spent like a lottery winner's first time into a first time millionaire with no spending restraint while "friends" and "neighbours" start sliding in looking for a piece of it.

Smollet would wish he had this treatment.
