GG Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 That the cops killed him. That's the obvious and the silly part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 That's the obvious and the silly part. No, it's not. He's clearly a victim of oppression...because if he wasn't, he wouldn't have ended up dead. Therefore, the real guilt lies with the tool of oppression...white cops.

Deranged Rhino Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 That's the obvious and the silly part. I'm not sure what point your'e trying to make. I'm saying it's interesting that his social media has been scrubbed, removing everything he was discussing questioning the validity of BLM and its leaders, and now every story covering his murder is linking his much older tweet about being threatened by the cops.

It's silly for cops to kill him because the last thing they need is a high profile martyr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 It's silly for cops to kill him because the last thing they need is a high profile martyr. Agree 100%. The agenda I was alluding to was the media's, not the cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 He probably died like most other young African Americans, shot by someone in his local community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Interesting fallout is unfolding from the murder of Darren Seals, a prominent BLM leader. In the few days running up to his murder, Seals had been complaining that money raised by BLM hadn't been given back to Ferguson and tweeted that some BLM leaders had become disruptive and opportunistic -- not that you'd know any of that from reading the news about his death. Instead all the media reporting seems to be focused on trying to link his murder to the police in someway while completely ignoring Seals more recent, and more relevant, social media outpourings -- many of which were deleted from his feed just hours after his death was announced. Be mindful of agendas being pushed... http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/michael-brown-shooting/darren-seals-ferguson-protest-leader-found-fatally-shot-burning-vehicle-n643731 Where did you get the info about the deleted tweets?

unbillievable Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 If the cops had wanted him dead, all they had to do was shoot him and sprinkle some cocaine on his body afterwards. Burning cars seems like a BLM method of getting rid of evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviF Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Agree 100%. The agenda I was alluding to was the media's, not the cops. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you believe that the powers-that-be are attempting to begin a race/civil war in the United States, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong, but you believe that the powers-that-be are attempting to begin a race/civil war in the United States, right? Attempting to begin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviF Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Attempting to begin? Whatever, I just want him to come out and say it so that we know exactly what agendas he wants us to "be mindful" of so we can read his future posts in the correct light. Fact is that a full-scale civil war is unwinnable for any rebellion unless significant portions of the military defect. Anyone with half a brain knows this so unless the "agenda" is to make us blind to that reality there's no reason to push it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powers that be is a loaded term and pretty useless as it causes more confusion or dismissal than it provokes substantive discussion. It also implies that there is just one monolithic group pulling the strings which is overly simplistic and not what I believe to be the truth. The reality is there are several, if not dozens of groups that operate behind the scenes that all have competing interests. Carlin put it best, "it's a big club but we ain't in it." So while I object to how you phrased it, I do believe certain elements within this country would love to see civil unrest along racial lines, absolutely. We've seen that agenda being pushed on us for months now. It's not an accident or a coincidence. Greg is slippery, you have to be when the foundation of many of your theories are ambiguously unprovable. I only appear slippery because I don't fit into a partisan box. I like to think for myself. I get it, it's not for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, it's not for everyone. It has nothing to do with being partisan and everything to do with conspiracy theories. Some of the most partisan people on this board are conspiracy theorists, just look at many of the Trump supporters. Conspiracy theories in the vast majority of cases are unprovable. It wasn't a knock on you, just an observation. I've seen you on many occasions say one thing at one point, to only contradict yourself at a later point and when confronted, you come up with some opaque winding explanation as to why the contradiction. Hence the characterization, slippery. Edited September 8, 2016 by Magox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeviF Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 So while I object to how you phrased it, I do believe certain elements within this country would love to see civil unrest along racial lines, absolutely. We've seen that agenda being pushed on us for months now. It's not an accident or a coincidence. Fair enough. But as a big fan of Occam's Razor, I have to ask whether it's more likely that there's a racial/civil unrest agenda being pushed on us or if multiculturalism/diversity+proximity just doesn't work.
