please refrain from suggesting that "both sides do it," as the vast majority of the violence originates from the radical left.
Is this supposed to be some kind of point scoring exercise?
Capitol Hill riots, Charlottesville car-ramming, El Paso Walmart shooting?
you wouldn't be in any of the above categories, would you?
I'm centre-left but that's it. Why you persist in trying to put people into boxes is beyond me. Go back and shove your crap in the designated thread and spare us all.
I wish you all a slow and painful death.
The irony. Both you and PAK, two of PF's right-wingers, denouncing the left for violence while advocating for it yourselves. You couldn't make this sh!t up.
Have you read Charlie Kirk's remarks on George Floyd?
Spare us the FDR bedtime stories, Jersey boy. You worship a dead president like he's your personal saint, but the guy trampled civil rights, locked up citizens in camps, and tried to rig the Supreme Court. That's your "hero." Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk points out the obvious about George Floyd - a career criminal turned leftist mascot and you melt down like a toddler without his binky. You're not defending "history," you're just hiding behind it because you've got nothing to say about the disaster your side's creating right now. Newsflash: living in the past won't save you from the fact your party is circling the drain and ready to be flushed into the sewage of history.
Merely wondering whether Kirk was well known amongst Polish conservatives.
Never heard of him before this. When hearing the name Kirk, the only guy that would come to my mind would be James T. captain of the starship Enterprise. Once I have even fleetingly wondered if the name Kirk can be actually found among regular people.
@Lyzko His comments? Thats the point. He is entitled to say what ever he wants and not be killed for it. But please enlighten all of us how buring cities for Geaorge Floyd is better than prayers, vigils, memorials and young people becoming politically active. Take your beleeding heart bvllshit to the next socialist meeting.
@Barney Please enlighten all of us to the censorship taking place through Trump. Maybe you mean the censorship that took place under Biden that Facebook, Twitter, and now Google have all admitted took place? Or you mean the Biden cancel culture concerning Rosanne Barr, Tucker Carlson and so many others? Democrats are the new N@zi party.
You mean then he is entitled to lie or distort the truth with impunity, is that it? @Joker, at least under FDR, you'd have had a bed in which to hear the stories:-) Ck. out Art Buchwald's "The Republican Twenty-Third Psalm:
Nixon is my shepherd I shall always want. He maketh me to lie down on park benches, He leadeth me beside the still factories, He restoreth my doubt in the Republican Party. Yea, poverty and misery shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall live in the rented house forever.
Two thousand years ago, Moses said "Bring your camel, take your shovel, mount your ass And I shall lead you to the Promised Land!"
Two thousand years later, Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed "Leave your camel, put down your shovel, sit on your ass This is the Promised Land!"
Nixon will steal your camel, sell your shovel, kick you in the ass and tell you there is no Promised Land!!
Have you read Charlie Kirk's remarks on George Floyd?
George Floyd was a convicted felon who'd held a pistol to the stomache of a pregnant woman and was wanted when police tried to arrest him while he was overdosing on fentanyl.... the police did nothing wrong (deceptive perspective made it look like they were choking him but they weren't, his was already complaining about not being able to breath before they tried to arrest him.
Had he complied with the arrest he might be alive (and in jail) today.
The point is, that African-Americans, compared with certain others, e.g. Jewish groups, stick together and rally behind their brethren, even if the brother/sister in question is not always a model citizen, but someone who's fallen on hard times! Far too often, Caucasian- Americans take the attittude, "You make your bed, you lie in it!" African-Americans on the whole know better.
George Floyd might have been placed in hand cuffs as opposed to a choke hold, therefore allowing for rehabilitation instead of making him a martyr.
@Lyzko: by someone who's fallen on hard times Difficult to comprehend or even imagine someone falling continuously, 39 times. These incidents are known due to arrests; in reality, George Floyd has faced numerous challenges-an angelic hero to you.
It's true that by and large African Americans don't care about crime as an issue (the single exception being blacks killed during conflicts with police).
But, really the police in the Floyd case did nothing wrong. Law enforcement training emphasizes that a physically strong but drugged up person can do insane and dangerous things with no prior warning so they're trained to get such subjects under control ASAP.
If there's any blame (apart from the blame that Floyd himself earned) then it's the rescue team that took too long to arrive. Nonetheless, the democrats utilized that situation to unleash unprecedented levels of violence against the American public.
I will never forgive the democrats (or anyone who took part in it) for that.
There was no reason to o peel on someone's neck until they died.
They didn't, look at him being restrained from different angles.... the angle that made it look like they were choking him was publicized.
black Americans I've met have been as law abiding
Individually the majority is law abiding. But when it comes to voting... the majority don't much care. Black candidates tend to not run on reducing crime.
It is true that they like crime reduction policies (they recognized 'defund the police' as class warfare against poorer people) but they tend to turn a blind eye to black-on-black crime. It is what it is.....
look at him being restrained from different angles.... the angle that made it look like they were choking him was publicized
I'd guess the jury saw it all.
Talk by any politician there about reducing crime is just talk, as long as guns are available to civilians and as long as the inequalities are so glaring. Even the very long sentences don't seem to work.
As a politician once said, "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime".
