FireChans Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Just now, Boatdrinks said: Sure it was avoidable. Let the legal system take its course. Chaos was caused by low lifes. That too. But I'm talking about the protests in general. 1 minute ago, Rob's House said: I suppose that's true, but "person of interest" doesn't connote any legal status. If the cops want to bring him in for questioning they can ask him, but if he tells them to ***** off they can only arrest him or honor his request. They were standing guard at this guy's house, right? I guess he would need to agree for them to take him into custody for his own safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) This is graphic. A "protester' gets caught in the wheels of a semi, after he and some others tried to attack a driver in his cab. The most absurd part is the indignation in the voice of the guy filming and chasing the truck. I don't know what these people were thinking. It's like all fun and games while they loot, and bait cops, but when the ***** goes very, very awry, they feel like they have been wronged, or the driver was acting out of line. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8373087/Video-shows-man-dragged-FedEx-truck-police-say-driver-frightened-armed-protesters.html The article calls them "protesters" and Fedex dances around calling them "demonstrators". There are multiple videos, with each person completely shocked that the driver left "Oh my god, they're dragging a man", "this is ***** up, stop the truck" completely oblivious to their own ridiculous behavior and role in what's happening. I think there are a LOT of kids out there, doing stupid things, thinking it's "cool". When reality sets in, there will be some very sad stories.

Reality Check Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 As someone who embraces the duality of man and the universe, now is a good time for a good bloodletting. There is a lot of bad blood that needs to be let out right now, and it's decades in the making. Our nation has been hollowed out and subdivided into all forms of tribalism based on disenfranchisement of all sorts. Some as a function of normal change, but much of it by design. Collectively, we have collapsed in our defense of our own Constitutional rights, and the rights of others. This is the logical destination of such a collective moral collapse also. No one blinked when the collective fear of a virus triggered a government shutdown of everyone's lives. Because of fear, people accepted mutual destruction. As a result, trillions appeared out of no where. No one cares where it came from or the long term effect, as long as the short term survival is secured. Lockdowns are extended and permanent damage is now done. We shipped many companies and careers over seas to our future enemies, and we wonder why everything is upside down now. Well, taking the easy way out and watching jobs disappear was great as long as prices came down. Well, prices don't drop anymore...and now we have very little, while carrying a massive debt. We collectively make the world what it is, and now we get to reap what we have tolerated, and of course, what we have sewn. The restoration of this American Republic as a Constitutional Republic will happen, but not without great pain and even greater courage. What citizen's have forgotten is that just because you can, doesn't mean that you should. The key to harmony in our Constitutional Republic requires personal restraint and discipline. When I see these mobs in the streets, I see the pure form of Democracy. We are not a Democracy. If we chose to be, then be prepared for 51% to kick the 49% in the teeth in perpetuity, and there will be zero motivation to hold fair elections ever again.

Prickly Pete Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) My god, I watched news report at the bottom that shows more footage, and it's practically a parody. Interviewing the guy who chased and filmed it, "a CEO and founder of a technology company, and mentor to St. Louis youth", "You can also see people hitting the FedEx truck, it's unclear if they were a part of the demonstration". The guy is completely oblivious, and the newscaster disingenuously crafts the story and fails, due to being an idiot.

MILFHUNTER#518 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I browsed this woman's Twitter feed, and full disclosure she appears to be a rich white liberal.

GaryPinC Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 One of the interesting but less talked about items from an officer involved in the Floyd death. Bottom of this article: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/false-claim-targets-wife-of-officer-charged-in-floyds-death/ar-BB14P0pz?li=BBnb7Kz "Charges have not been filed against Thao and the other officers at the scene. Thao was sued in federal court in 2017 for alleged excessive force, according to online records obtained by The Associated Press. According to the lawsuit, Lamar Ferguson claimed that in 2014 Thao and his partner stopped him and beat him up while he was on his way to his girlfriend’s house. The lawsuit was settled for $25,000." Have to wonder if Thao faced any internal discipline for 2017, if not maybe a good place to start for actionable change. A history of excessive force. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realtruelove Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 This was obviously a well coordinated event. In Nashville, a "Peaceful" demonstration was scheduled and attended by the mayor and then shortly after that began, the violence commenced. That seemed like the script across all the cities in America. This was domestic terrorism, plain and simple. Who is responsible? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly am not saying the people on the porch were posing any sort of threat, but, maybe, LE Officers perceived an urgent need to get people inside at this particular time and at this particular location, and didn't have time to stop and explain to everyone who felt like they didn't want to comply. Again, I am not justifying what is shown in this clip. Like I said, I have no idea what was going on around this neighborhood at the time. They better have the justification for doing what they did.

Who exactly are they railing against? Are we saying it’s OK to burn down the local high school when a coach or teacher is found doing something inappropriate with a student? Should every Church be leveled when a priest or minister is found doing the same? How about burning down the capital building when we find out a congressman has broken the law?

This ‘protest’ is beyond stupid! I really break the "protesters" down into three groups: (1) Those that are peacefully protesting and genuinely feel that what happened to Floyd represents deeper, systemic issues. They should have the opportunity to peacefully protest as much as they want. (2) Those that are using the opportunity to engage in criminal behavior. They are not protesters, they are criminals who are taking advantage of the situation. These are primarily the looters, but engage in arson, vandalism, assault, etc. as well. (3) Those that are paid agitators, those that despise everything this country stands for, those that would literally love to see everything burned to the ground, etc. These are the ones on the front lines of getting into the faces of police officers, destroying buildings, and engaging in any behavior designed only to escalate violence. Unfortunately, the last two groups have hijacked the "protests" and it needs to be stopped. Edited May 31, 2020 by billsfan1959 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great summary of the situation. Group number three (3) is the root cause. I'm convinced that they prey on the other two groups by helping coordinate the peaceful protests so their will be large numbers at these "Events" and then breaking all the glass and providing cover for the looters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
