I dunno CK was a flash in the pan and NFL teams realized that and didn't need him for his diminished physical skills and his other baggage. Besides, he's the one that voided his contract with SF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the consumer chooses not to not to purchase products from a company for that company's political or other views. That is not the the same as intentionally trying to ruin the company. If Kaepernick was blacklisted simply for his political views, then that would be wrong. If any NFL tem chose not to employ him because of the negative impact on their team, then that is an entirely different scenario and the teams would be free to look after their own financial interests. It is the difference between firing you for your political beliefs and firing/not hiring you based on the damage your behavior would do to my company. The intent is what bothers me. If your intent is to ruin somebody's life simply because you disagree with their views, then I can find nothing decent in that.

The comments are strongly in favor of the denial. If the city and state had quickly stepped in to disburse the rioters and looters, I would disagree with Trump. As the city appeared to encourage the destruction, and the state sat around with their thumb up their ass until Trump said stop it, or I will, money denied is really the only way to stop this lunatic aiding and abetting by mayors and governors. A stand down order from a mayor to the police should be immediate grounds for not one red cent from the feds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Fire ravages 249-year-old Spanish mission in Southern California NBC, by Alicia Victoria Lozano Original Article A nearly 250-year-old Spanish mission in California containing artifacts dating back to the late 1700s was ravaged by fire early Saturday morning. The roof of the Roman Catholic church at the San Gabriel Mission and much of its interior was destroyed. Capt. Antonio Negrete, public information officer for the San Gabriel Fire Department, called the scene "heartbreaking," NBC Los Angeles reported. Jose Gomez, archbishop of Los Angeles, tweeted photos of the damage Saturday, asking for prayers as the mission begins its slow path to recovery. People will do what people do. - Nancy Pelosi 2020 Yes, I am aware that the cause of the fire is "unknown" at this time. But I am tired of 'coincidences' Quote FTA: No injuries were reported, and fire officials were trying to determine what caused the fire. Founded in 1771 by Franciscan priest Junipero Serra, from Spain, the San Gabriel Mission is considered a historical landmark for many faithful in Southern California. But Serra's legacy remains a flashpoint for many Native Americans and Latinos who condemn the colonization and brutalization of Indigenous populations in the region. Last month, demonstrators toppled Serra's statue in downtown Los Angeles. In 2016, a statue of the priest in Monterey was beheaded and a similar incident occurred the previous year in Carmel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is true to a point, but unless he was undercover or the video is being misrepresented, meaning he really is part of Portland Antifa, the odds are overwhelmingly high that he's knowingly and willingly engaged in their mission, which is violent agitation in the furtherance of their Marxist movement. They are one of the most radical and violent Antifa groups. Their history over the last few years has clearly established this. If he's a part of that, I have no sympathy for him. I'd be more sympathetic to a member of ISIS who may have been converted at gunpoint than to a pampered little ***** that joined a domestic terrorist organization that actively initiates violence against people like you and me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
