George Floyd Riots

Or…it was one of these armed “libertarians” that were also supporting the protestors/rioters while also trying to protect private property…

Such a mess and tragedy. All of it.

Either way, it looks like the shooter was being chased while having debris thrown at him. He shoots a guy. Runs, chase continues… He falls, they try to swarm, he shoots 2 or 3 swarming him on the ground. He gets up and walks off.

While Trump is an incompetent manager at best and hardly worthy for reelection, a case can be made that a Biden-Harris ticket would result in even more chaos, malice and plutocrat terror, given the explosive circumstances of the dying empire.
The recent weeks are just sheer insanity; political blundering and cynicism on one hand and profoundly confused and ideologised peoples on the other hand (just take a look at this thread).

Oftentimes, a crisis can produce some good eventually but I can’t see it here. Or maybe this is it: China might take the reigns as the global leader. And just like with Trump vs Biden, it boils down to a steaming shit sandwich vs a glowing plutonium cookie: The last thirty years (more like 50 but let’s be generous) of US hegemony was an absolute disaster for the west on every level. Physical, ideological, spiritual, material, political…
China can only do a better job!

I was just asking for an example from the Democrat convention in which the rioting is condemned.

Been a long time since you were on here Schwarzy.

I understand what you’re saying, but there’s no way China does a better job. I can’t agree at all.

OMG! @Sloth I am so sorry! You know for a fact I am against this violence. I don’t know what to say… God be with you and your family.

Oh shoot, to clarify I was sharing someone else’s misfortune. Sorry about the confusion.

2 more people DEAD. That makes 32, can we stop this now? Can we invoke the insurrection act? The local governments do nothing while this nightmare descends across these leftist run cities. I wish this were just politics as usual, but it’s not happening anywhere else. If they do, they are shut down in 2 days or less, they do not go on day after day. And these nimrod governors and mayors have Federal aid at their disposal, but they refuse. Why? Oh, they would rather let their people get hurt and killed than get help from the government because the President is Trump. That is just sick and deranged thinking.
Just make sure you write your congressman and senators to make sure that cities that allowed riots do not get a single penny of federal money. I would support the businesses directly, but fuck the cities where they allow this shit to happen. And if you support this shit, fuck you too.
Do not come crying when the shit hits you. Did you see the sign at the car dealership they burned? It said ‘Black Lives Matter’, you could see it through flames of burning cars. Bending the knee to this cult didn’t help them and it won’t help you. /Rant

Seriously folks, when is it enough? You have to be 100 lbs of stupid to thing BLM will stop, even if you give them what they want, why? Because they always will want more and nothing is ever enough.

BLM is no better than ISIS or Al Qaeda. They are piece of shit terrorists and I don’t give a shit what ends up happening to them. /Rant-2

Geez man! I am not happy it happened to anybody. But I am glad you’re okay.

Well, looks like police have a 17 yr old in custody for the shootings last night. Sad that a kid likely not intending to do anything evil, made a series of typically stupid teenage decisions that ended the life of at least one other, and may have effectively ended his life as well.

Sounds like a case of internet tacticool gone wrong. With gun laws in WI/IL, will his parents get charged with anything if they own the rifle?

They should, WI/IL actually have fairly strict gun laws compared to many states (not like Califorinia, but it’s not as lax as AZ, TX, or FL).
Federally it’s illegal for someone under 18 to “own” a long gun.

Oof. Not a good look for the Kenosha PD. There is video on twitter of them telling the armed militia, and more specifically the 17 yr old who shot 3 people “We appreciate what you are doing, we really do”, and then giving them bottles of water while announcing to someone else down the street “you are a civilian and trespassing, leave now”.

They were protecting property and not burning it down. The really bad look is going to fall on whoever didn’t ask for or send the additional National Guard to act in place of armed citizens. It should have never gotten to this. After that first night of rage those streets should have been cleared at curfew by an overwhelming force.

There’s videos of them protecting a gas station, diverting a mob away from it. And then perhaps another group protecting a business from the rooftop. Roof caucasians.

And now Kenosha will be getting federal law enforcement. Trump says the Governor has finally taken him up on it.

Yeah, a police force thanking an armed, underage vigilante for his work minutes before he shoots to death 2 unarmed civilians, and wounds a third is not a good look.

Yes, for the government who only really protected its courthouse while people’s dreams went up in flames, a terrible look.

Watch the videos for god sake. It was flat out destructive anarchy. The government abdicated its duty. Take these damn riots seriously and cut them off as soon as they spread.

Now… should’ve already happened.

They handed out water bottles and thanked people who weren’t actively trying to kill them. Goodness.
