Reality Check Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 For all those asking about leadership, it starts at the local level. Also, people that don't want to be lead, aren't going to be lead by anyone. Unless of course, the new role of being a citizen is to sit back and criticize others for not motivating them to be better citizens. If you want leadership, become a leader yourself.

Civil rights Atty. Leo Terrell: Dems not standing up against crime in Floyd protests because they're afraid to alienate black vote By Julia Musto | Fox News Democratic lawmakers are not standing up against criminal activity during protests against the death of George Floyd because they don't want to alienate black voters ahead of the November presidential election, American civil rights Attorney Leo Terrell asserted Friday evening. In an interview on "Hannity" with host Sean Hannity, the radio talk show host noted that while Floyd's death was a "tragedy" and there is a "universal acceptance" that his murder was wrong, those protesting his death in cities like New York and Minneapolis are using Floyd's death as an excuse to break the law. "I am disappointed, shocked that there has been no Democratic lawmaker in the last 72 hours who have focused on the criminal activities of these individuals who are not protesting," he stated. "These are criminals and they are breaking the law using the guise of caring about George Floyd." https://www.foxnews.com/media/leo-terrell-civil-rights-attorney-calls-for-end-to-riots-destruction Edited May 31, 2020 by OldTimeAFLGuy 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, JoPoy88 said: It’s not going to make sense because it’s not supposed to. It’s an emotional reaction, not a rational one. And honestly, an emotional outbreak like this may be the only thing that gets something done. It’s not fair to the businesses that got torched, or the car owners’ that got trashed. But this is what is going to happen and keep happening when things like Floyd keep happening. sucks i know. Institutional reform is the answer, but that takes time and effort which we don't really value anymore. If it was so emotional why does it only happen at night? It’s thugs being thugs destroying property and looting. At night time their identity can be concealed the best. The actual protestors on the other hand? They are fine.

4merper4mer Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I get that this all started in Minnesota and that it is happening all over the country but are we certain the Buffalo stuff is cut from the same cloth? Is it merely a coincidence that this is happening right after we found out Jason Botterill will be back for another year? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Seen this before. Happened in 68 whem MLK died. Throw in Antifa seeing an opportunity . Antifa and the Bernie Bros (both Commies) will riot at the Dem Convention. Need some tear gas and hickory shampoos(nightsticks) to settle things down. Wiith the cold temps last might, the fire hoseswould have been a good idea. Edited May 31, 2020 by Wacka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately nothing major happened and this can all be cleaned up and fixed. Lessons can be learned from what happened today and before. As a former staffer there, I can say she’s a budding star and most likely will be moving on to a bigger market soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Insurrection Act is in play here. It should be a military operation to shut this all down. As for the political ramifications, it's too late for those sorts of considerations. Losing votes, well I guess there is only one way to find out. If they want violence so bad, then they should get it. At this point, they are begging for it.

Sorry man but some of them need to cross the blue line and speak up about the internal police problems. Often trained to be para military and some come from military backgrounds so the strong reaction has been bred in. Stop protecting their own when they know better. Where is Scerpico when you need him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
