United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

[Abhorsen]

Hopefully they only need em for brandishing and warning shots, if they actually shoot back, they can get sued or made to look like bad guys like that father-son bar owners who’re in some trouble for shooting a looter who just so happened to be black

No, they can't. Jesus christ, most of America isn't like that. Stop being so down.

Okay, sorry, that said, can’t help but laugh at the image of criminals calling people they were gonna hit to be monsters while pretty much admitting that they were committing a bunch of crimes and going “Hey what I did is no big deal, it’s just all their money and resources and me breaking stuff, I wasn’t gonna kill em. Maybe beat the shit out of him, but not kill him”

People have been trying to get Carl to cut that crap out, in multiple threads, for months.

He wants to doomsperg and toss out often-pointless hypotheticals as a matter of course in every non-fiction threat it seems.

How about you keep those hypotheticals in your own head or the What-If section, instead of constantly spamming up threads.

Okay, let me throw some Military knowledge down on yall. The military when deployed even overseas, they have us do something called, Hearts and minds. We are to win them. What those soldiers are doing? Just that, especially if they are national Guard. Hell most soldiers agree what the cop did was not right, but yet we still do not like the riots. People going "LOOK THE ARMY IS FIGHTING BACK AGAINST EVUL OVRERLORDS!" When in reality they are doing what we have done in our occupations for years. You dont treat those who come in peace and have good intentions like criminals, you show them you are there for them, and when those that dont like you and want to hurt you and those that want what is right, you dont bow down to them. You fight them. Soldiers have been deployed into the cities to stop the riots not stop the peaceful protests. Once curfew hits Soldiers arnt going to be so friendly if you start throwing things at them when they try to send you to your houses for being out past curfew or arresting you. One should also know not every soldier is trained to be RIOT control. We can all shoot all day long, but Riot control is not eveyr MOS specialty. So the kneeling at these protests could be a sign showing the protests are not why they are there.
Look at pictures of soldiers helping kids and families in the middle east, not in Afghan but Iraq and the like when ISIL came around. Hell in Afghan families displaced by the Taliban often had them all killed if not for US.
This is winning hearts and minds, not caving into the protests.

Nope... Looks like your wrong.

The Protestors have co-opted the US Military into its ranks.



RIP America.

Hearts and Minds, managed to get em all to slow down and be nice

I don’t think they’re all in on it though and besides, if they caught em at their worst, well they’ll stop em

If Walmart comes back, it will have turrets ontop and security guards with machineguns 24/7

Also, that’s that creepy looking mayor who looks like a dude

What, by making dancing videos, ironically the commenter was right, the point is hearts and minds, besides they are largely people in their early 20s being Serious isn’t really something they are good at.

Honestly it's become his gimmick at this point; so why not just let him go off on his tangents in peace? At the very least, they serve to give us perspective, and remind us that things are not actually all that bad. Or at least, not as bad as they could be, theoretically. Besides; it's not like he's being a jerk about it, so far as I've seen.

There I added a smiley at the end of my previous. I guess my delivery was pretty deadpan... being in text form.

Say, I’ve heard that gun purchases have gone up

Aren’t there lots of forms to file and tests to do before you’re even allowed one?

Or are the majority of those purchases illegal and black market?

Highly depending on the locality. When I started my new job all employees were required to be armed (Had an armed robbery a while back that spooked the owner. After having a gun shoved up his nose he declared never again, and paid for every employee to get a CCW and range time). I went into a pawn shop, filled out my NICS form, and walked out maybe forty-five minutes later and thirty minutes of that was making sure the gun was in good working order.

Of course other states can add on more stringent licensing requirements, I could never do that in California f'rex.

This is so pathetic but funny at the same time because there are people who will fall for this scam. You will really laugh at the stupidity of this race thing.

Everyday, I become more and more convinced that we are witnessing the horrible birth cries of some retarded, malformed cult.

Think about it. Modern leftism basically has a form of original sin. Except, instead of Adam and Eve’s mistakes ruining mankind, it’s white privilege and white people themselves.

That’s why we see so many pictures of white people debasing themselves to please BLM and their hangers on. It’s a form of penance for having the audacity to be born white.

Except, in this new religion, there is no true redemption. No matter how much you kowtow, campaign for, or grovel in front of pocs, you can never be forgiven for the color of your skin or the sins of your forefathers.

You must forever debase and humiliate yourself, lest you be declared a heretic(racist) and be cast out of society(canceled by the mouth breathers on Twitter).

I'd be a good sucker if I was still a child. It's a good scam to do supposed good.

Okay, I'm guessing someone among those guys doing TikTok videos' gonna get shouted at soon

The left, in doing things like this, is driving away all but the most extreme adherents to regressive ideology. Barring a propaganda masterstroke the likes of which is rarely seen, and is mostly beyond the ham-fisted ideologues currently in control of the left, they will enjoy progressively diminished support as time goes on.

With "intersectionalism" there are other "Original Sins" ranging from being straight, being male, liking "objectifying & insensitive" entertainment, not being some hardcore environmentalist, being a christian or Roman Catholic or some other offshoot, being pro-gun(obviously you want children killed), being anti-socialism/communism/any-offshoot or similar, being anti-big government etc

If it's a religion, it's one with a VERY corrupt and hypocritical clergy, that allows for "exceptions" in broad daylight. The more it's allowed to ban, the more it has power to give certain people special privileges and to take em when convenient

It'd be like watching the Pope preach against lust and banning porn, only he's got lots of hookers in his employ and him engaging in it may not even be a well-kept secret. Going on about how dangerous and evil guns are, whilst having a personal army of bodyguards with guns and so on. Or preaching about having a classless society whilst building huge mansions for "party members" and so on.

At some point, you'll get your exiles and reformers.
