Buffalo_Gal Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) I can't help but think the Israelis have it right with mandatory national military service. Seems a lot of these young people have an extreme need for discipline (and patriotism) in their lives. Looting, rioting, and insurrection really aren't a great life plan.

Government force used to impose quarantines: Tyranny Government force to restrict hours on private enterprise: Tyranny Military force to enforce curfews, dispel assembly, and put down looting/civil unrest: Justified I mean, isn't it right there in the descriptions? Government force to impose quarantines (on healthy, innocent populations): ? Government force to restrict hours on private enterprises (that are obeying the law and not engaging in any criminal activity): ? Military force to enforce curfews, dispel assembly, and put down looting/civil unrest (against populations that are engaged in widespread criminality and illegality): ? Seems pretty straightforward to me, though I don't like city wide curfews as a general rule.

1B4IDye Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 The same people who thought it was totally fine for police to enforce social distancing and shut down businesses are freaked out by force being used to stop riots, looting, destruction of personal property, and murder. The false equivalency in the Leftist nutbags is an amazing thing to behold. 1 2 1

Again the DA came out before all the riots and said evidence supports no criminal charges. It's happened for as long as time. It's upsetting to think about but it's just a fact. I didn’t hear the DA say that. Do you have a link? 1

Magox Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 6 minutes ago, jrober38 said: Sorry, who has approved of the rioting, looting and killing? By not forcefully condemning it to the max, falsely and dishonestly making an equivalency to peaceful protesters being abused and hardly discussing it is a form of tacit minimization. The idea that people are focusing on this as opposed to the true abuse from the looters, rioters and arsonists is as I mentioned Orwellian. And for those of you who are partaking in this patently repulsive notion, yes you are part of an Orwellian construct. This is IN FACT a societal condition that is destructive to the welfare of our free and open society. We have laws for a reason, and just because an injustice in the system occurred and even if it is systemic, it doesn't give the right for these people to not follow the laws. This is pure destruction and there are shades and elements of 'The purge' that is taking place. This is pure anarchy. 12 minutes ago, whatdrought said: But this is "Warfare" they say. Warfare! 1 1

The scenario the media created for this reminds me of a scene in The Office where Dwight sprays someone with pepper spray to prevent an attack and then everyone in the office end up crying.

I got really into it only (and still play occasional) but I plateaued at like a 1200 rating where 3000 is grand master, or something like that. Put into perspective that I'm not the amazing genius I feel like after embarrassing friends and family around the holidays... The idea of those parks scares the crap out of me and my marginal skills. if you go to DC, sit down and play a game. Great fun..They know i am a rank ametuer, more than happy to take my money! They also play in Dupont Circle, little more serious there, not as fun..younger crowd. The old guys in Lafeyette know tourists are their marks, so they keep light and fun 2

Probably something along the lines of, "If we can't give people free stuff by imposing a "fair" tax structure to pay for it, actual, physical looting to get free stuff works too." 2

By Sun-Times Wire Updated Jun 1, 2020, 10:09pm CDT …….and "classy"...……….. Chicago mayor tells Trump 'F-U' after tweet about Minneapolis looting By Louis Casiano | Fox News Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blasted President Trump and invoked an expletive Friday in response to his tweets after three days of protests in Minneapolis, Minn., when he called the protesters "THUGS" and tweeted that "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." “Donald Trump’s comment last night was profoundly dangerous,” Lightfoot said Friday during a news conference to discuss plans to reopen the city. “And we must stand firm in solidarity and say this is totally unacceptable no matter who is the speaker." “He wants to show failures on the part of Democratic local leaders, to throw red meat to his base," she added, according to WGN9. "His goal is to polarize, to destabilize local government and inflame racist urges. We can absolutely not let him prevail. And I will code what I really want to say to Donald Trump. It’s two words. It begins with F and it ends with U.” https://www.foxnews.com/politics/chicago-mayor-f-u-trump-george-floyd-minneapolis-looting-tweet This perfectly illustrates why the racist construct of this entire thing is so disingenuous. This one weekend in Chicago represents far deeper and wide spread issues than a few random incompetent cops. Yet no one is marching based on this. Blacks killing blacks apparently perfectly acceptable and normal for sjw/antifa/blm crown. Edited June 2, 2020 by Dante 1 2
