OT Black Man In Minnesota Dies After Cop Kneels On His Neck/ Portland Riots

White Trailer trash?

 

see above.

 

Fuck all that. They better try this terrorist as an adult. And none of this self defense bullshit.

 

I agree virtually 100%. That said, I believe beyond a doubt that civil war is EXACTLY what Donald Trump is attempting to incite. Then he....and only he.......can step in and “save” us from the chaos.....and become a permanently installed “Dear Leader”. And Putin is doing everything he can to help that become a reality. Anyone who tries to say that Trump is trying to unite this country is as morally bankrupt (Or just plain stupid) as he...and his administration.....are.

 

I think that both sides are looking for a fight at this point. Unity has become code for, "unite with people who agree with you or fit into some demographic that might be close enough, and everyone else can screw off". I agree that Trump would love nothing more than to show us how heroic he is.

 

Guns aren't solving violence ...they are being used for rage by citizens and by cops....it's that ugly conversation nobody likes to have....get the guns off the streets...they are not helping anyone...they are not protecting people, they are escalating violence and I say this as a guy who owns two of them

 

I don't really disagree with what you say here. For myself, I don't consider these "Republican policing policies" so much as a policing monster that both parties enabled over the years. I think now Democrats are somewhat more willing to consider some changes to it, but both parties bear the blame for its creation.

 

What are you talking about? People love to have this conversation. We have it constantly. Nary a day goes by without this conversation. It's a conversation that goes round and round and round.

 

I agree with this but when businesses think they are going to lose All they've worked for not by protestors but those bent on destruction and burning things down and the police and political leaders standby and do nothing it spawns anarchy.
If this is war now, you cannot tolerate looting or guns in the street. I don’t see any leadership stepping up
And condemning the violence.

 

And that includes Donald Trump. I can’t help but wonder how things would go if Trump stood up and said, “We feel your pain. We understand that systematic racism exists, and these are the things (point by point) we are going to do to change things for the better.” Instead, he condemns, insults and physically assaults them. He is the supposed leader of this country and he has none absolutely nothing to step up and quiet the waters. The worse the protests become and the longer they go on plays right into his hands. He does not truly want them to end because they inflame his base to his advantage. He is an instigator, a cheerleader for racists and bigots of all stripes. It is his job to at least TRY to represent ALL of us. He has made it very clear that he is not only NOT up to the task, he believes in doing the exact opposite. Flush the turd November third!

 

I've mentioned this before but retail businesses and storefronts are required to carry insurance....they actually may profit during covid from insurance claims in some cases more than they were with shuttered stores and a pandemic.....insurance companies should be complaining about the damage most of all...the damage that occured in Eugene ended in brand new store fronts downtown for the half block that was damaged...I'm sure all funded by insurance companies....they've been well paid to cover their clients anyway

 

I'm glad you brought this up...really no need to protect a business with guns if you have proper insurance.

 

really?
So they get a check, their insurance rates also skyrocket. It's not like a check to cover damages means their business survives, prices for their consumers goes up to cover increased costs.
Destroying small businesses and saying well as long as they have good insurance then they don't need to protect the business they worked to build seems like a carte blanche free fire on anyone's property as long as their insured.

 

The effin abuse of the 2nd amendment per usual making things better.

Remind of this gem from everyone's favorite Moss.

 

I have been mostly anti-gun my entire life. Until the last 4-5 months...
I still think if it came down to it, I'd rather get shot then shoot someone else.
Last couple months I've been thinking quite a bit about getting some weapons and weapon training, this guy has a good youtube channel on how to use guns and what rights you have and don't with weapons.

This year has been a gem for the ones who like guns...
