  • Blm riots have restarted

    We can now resume the justification, minimization, denying, and rationalization, of political violence. If it gets covered at all.

    Of course they started rioting again. They got to keep the pressure on old Joe to keep to the far left -- which is exactly what some of those on the left said they would do because they see old Joe as easy to intimidate.

    And they're right. Just the other day he did a complete 180 on immigration after the left complained for only a couple of hours.

    I'm always still in trouble again

      I don't know. There's very little coverage of the riots this time. It seems more like now that Trump is out of office, BLM has served it's purpose and can be safely ignored. (Ignored, because covering it negatively would not play well with the liberal crowd)

          I just saw CNN show a series of videos of protests and riots in multiple cities. This is definitely being covered.

          All of these events are in response to continued deaths of minorities at the hands of police, deaths that are mostly unjustifiable.

          I am not justifying rioting and looting, only peaceful protests.

            No, you fall into the minimize, Downplay, or ignore rioting and looting.

              That's the lie the whole movement is based on.

                I am not minimizing rioting and looting. I specifically said I deplore those actions. Why are you attempting to alter my statements?

                  How is it a lie, when many if not most of those deaths are recorded for all to see?

                    Yup. Several studies have confirmed that a white person in a confrontation with police has a better chance of being shot and killed. This has been brought up several times now.

                      Of course folks like you think that shooting some he's-never-been-in-trouble-his-whole-life gangbanger armed with a pistol in hand as one of those unjustified shootings that they're now rioting in Chicago over.

                        Do you ever question the sampling that the MSM brings you? Have you considered that - just perhaps - for every "unjustified" shooting of a minority by police, there may be 10, 20 or 30 unjustified shootings of a white? And that you aren't getting a true cross section.

                        Just asking. The MSM only highlights what gets ratings.

                          Better question: How is it not a lie? There is no evidence of an epidemic of unjustified violence by police regardless of the suspect's skin color. The very few cases when it happens to a black person are blown out of proportion when the fact is, the overwhelming majority of police encounters with members of the public are concluded peacefully.

                            13-year old kid in the streets at 2:30AM, gun in hand, fleeing from the police ends up getting shot by an officer in self-defense, and people want to crucify the officer. Why was the kid not at home in bed where he should have been?
