I'm basically scum to them now ?. Someone actually brought up how police treated Dylan Roof thinking it was somehow a relevant comparison to this situation. I'm was also deemed a racist for thinking he shouldn't have resisted arrest and for disagreeing that letting someone flee to commit more crime isn't a good thing. ?♂️ I doubt any of them could articulate a practical alternative. It's easy and satisfying to Monday morning QB while perched safely atop a moral high horse. Edited August 27, 2020 by Rob's House 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(graphic) Well, obviously, if the police didn’t try to apprehend the murder suspect and instead they just filed a warrant and picked him up later.. maybe when he was more amenable to being arrested and held accountable for his alleged crimes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 JIM GERAGHTY: Stop Downplaying the Violence in Our Cities. “If the people perpetuating mayhem on the streets of Kenosha and just about every major American city for the past few months are indeed morally and politically separate from those who came out to protest . . . why has anybody been reluctant to denounce them?” To be fair, it’s only people with political leanings to the left with any reluctance. Although usually what we hear is straight-up refusal to denounce the rioters. Refusal is far worse than reluctance, and to use the wrong word is to cheapen when the left has been getting away with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I think major sports are about to find out that a majority of their fans follow sports to escape the rest of the world Bringing the rest of the world to sports is going to be a bad idea.

I think it was the MLS who wrote in a memo to fans that they are not here to distract you from the real world but to force you to deal with it. I would literally watch sports 350 days a year as my escape, but this decision tells you these guys think they are far more important than they are. 17 minutes ago, Tiberius said: Back to no sports.

Buffalo_Gal Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I cannot believe the NHL. They barely hang on as a major league sport (for what it is worth, i love hockey), you see the NBA dying before your eyes and a "group of black players" ask you to postpone to "demonstrate the importance of social justice activism" and they think that will win over fans?

Then again, the Billsy-est thing that could happen is for the sport to implode just as the Bills finally become legit contenders. It's almost poetic. That's been a running joke with my brothers this whole off season. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the next generations are as willing to buy premium seats & TV packages like us old geezers.
