B-Man Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Magox said: @Jauronimo I suppose you will retract your statement? Considering we now have an official statement from the United States Park Police Quote On Monday, June 1, the USPP worked with the United States Secret Service to have temporary fencing installed inside Lafayette Park. At approximately 6:33 pm, violent protestors on H Street NW began throwing projectiles including bricks, frozen water bottles and caustic liquids. The protestors also climbed onto a historic building at the north end of Lafayette Park that was destroyed by arson days prior. Intelligence had revealed calls for violence against the police, and officers found caches of glass bottles, baseball bats and metal poles hidden along the street.To curtail the violence that was underway, the USPP, following established policy, issued three warnings over a loudspeaker to alert demonstrators on H Street to evacuate the area. Horse mounted patrol, Civil Disturbance Units and additional personnel were used to clear the area. As many of the protestors became more combative, continued to throw projectiles, and attempted to grab officers’ weapons, officers then employed the use of smoke canisters and pepper balls. No tear gas was used by USPP officers or other assisting law enforcement partners to close the area at Lafayette Park. Subsequently, the fence was installed.Throughout the demonstrations, the USPP has not made any arrests. The USPP will always support peaceful assembly but cannot tolerate violence to citizens or officers or damage to our nation’s resources that we are entrusted to protect. Even if they had used Tear gas, I still wouldn't had been outraged about it considering the circumstances. We are in times of the most lawlessness that we have seen in our life times and the situation is still not under control. No, no. Didn't you see the meme ? They Gassed, peaceful protestors so that Trump could "thump" his upside down bible. It was right there for all to see............ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 33 minutes ago, BuffaloHokie13 said: I can tell you now, DCRA isn't reviewing or issuing those permits in the current climate. That said, the police can still get a heads up and accomplish the same thing - and I believe that happened for a lot of the protest activities in DC and the surrounding areas (there was a sizeable march in Arlington, VA Sunday which was supported by Arlington PD). Based on the interview, it seems the police were not prepared or notified about the President's shtick and they were relatively disgruntled about it. Doesn't excuse any excessive behavior, but it's more understandable. There's also a lot of misinformation and sensationalizing going on from all sides, which just makes everything worse because people cling to the caricature of the enemy rather than the facts. How are things in Houston? Houston has been mostly peaceful. There was some broken glass in downtown and idiots looted a Verizon store (enjoy your paperweights, morons!) but mostly events have been peaceful to date. George Floyd is from Houston and I believe still has a lot of family here. I'm just on the other side of 59 from the 3rd Ward where he grew up and close to downtown so fingers crossed everything stays quiet. The family had a March today in downtown which has gone off without incident. There will be local funeral services for him Thursday in addition to services held in North Carolina and Minnesota. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Another "Clarification" REPORT: TRUCKER ATTACKED BY MOB ON I-35 WAS DELIVERING FUEL TO BLACK-OWNED MINNEAPOLIS BUSINESS. “A black business owner named Lonnie [McQuirten] tweeted out the following on Sunday afternoon, which shed light on what really happened:” More from James Lileks: The tweets said the driver BARRELED INTO THE CROWD. We find the video. There was no barreling. Looks to me like he stopped without hitting anyone. He was removed from the cab, and social justice was administered. After all, the people standing on the freeway had the reasonable expectation that they would not be run over, since the authorities – you know, the murderous totalitarian state under which they groan – had blocked off the roads and was present to ensure their safety while they expressed their opinions. Later, a tweet: * * * * * * * * Hello, who’s this guy? Some Russian Bot? The underscore makes you suspicious: Nope, DFL House Majority Leader. Later deleted, but hey, has to be true in the meta sense. Click over to Lileks’ Bleat to see the tweet in question, which takes on a whole new light, after McQuirten’s comments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Russia thing was similar to the Obama birth certificate thing. Just one party trying to go after another party. I focus on real issues. I do trust media because who else is there to trust? They need to better. Media has gone away from objective reporting. Well, you're kind of right. The Russia "thing" was similar to the Obama "birth certificate thing" in that they both were smears started by the Clinton machine. But that's where their similarities stop. The Russia "thing" wasn't just a campaign smear, it was an intentional disinformation campaign waged by an outgoing administration and its intelligence services against the American people. It was not only a palace coup attempt, it was a subversion of our democratic republic. If that's not a "real issue" for you to focus on, then I'd suggest you have your head so far in the sand you're hearing Chinese. As for the bolded, if you have to ask who else is there to trust besides a thoroughly disgraced and dishonest media complex -- then you really need to do a lot of work just to get in the game, let alone be able to understand it.

Doc Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 4 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: I didn't care about the Russia thing because there was no way they could prove it. It was pointless. I always told people back when it started that this will only help Trump. They laughed at me. Even if there was collusion, not saying there was, they would never be able to prove it. They assured us they had it. They had nothing. They figured that lying and people believing it would be enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Am I crazy to say leave the peaceful protesters alone and focus on the looters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 "The looters tore off the plywood that boarded up Macy’s flagship store in Herald Square, swarming by the dozens inside to steal whatever they could find before being chased down by the police." "Others smashed the windows at a Nike store, grabbing shirts, jeans and zip-up jackets. They crashed into a Coach store, vandalized a Barnes & Noble, ransacked a Bergdorf Goodman branch and destroyed scores of smaller storefronts along the way. The eruption of looting in the central business district of Manhattan — long an emblem of the New York’s stature and prowess — struck yet another blow to a city reeling from the nation’s worst coronavirus outbreak.... On Tuesday... Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, criticized the city’s response, saying, 'The NYPD and the mayor did not do their job last night.' Beginning Monday afternoon and growing wilder as night fell, small bands of young people dressed mostly in black pillaged chain stores, upscale boutiques and kitschy trinket stores in Midtown Manhattan, as the police at first struggled in vain to impose order. Within hours, the normally vibrant center of wealth and upscale retail had descended into an almost clichéd vision of disorder: Streets were speckled with broken glass and trash can fires. Bands of looters pillaged stores without regard for nearby police officers.... 'Stop doing this!' one distraught woman yelled, her friends holding her back as she lunged toward the looters. 'George Floyd’s brother said not to do this! That is not what this is about!' Several reporters and photographers for The New York Times witnessed numerous scenes of people setting upon storefronts all across Midtown.... Even as rows of police vans flanked the surrounding streets, the looters seemed to know that they were winning the game of cat and mouse...."The NYT reports. A highly rated comment over there: This is what it looks like when a social movement dies in real time. The coverage in the NYT doesn't do justice to the sheer utter destruction in significant parts of the city - when you see it, it looks like war. People sitting comfortably in the suburbs have no problem justifying the criminality while playing woke on Twitter, but I'd love to see their reactions when its their communities that are being overrun, their neighbors' businesses are being looted and their streets are left burning. The protests are over and the message has been heard; at this point its just enabling criminality. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
