All the white people and black people stealing those iPads and iPhones in honor of George Floyd are pieces of shit.

Go spin your sign, Cole.

The violence, looting, and burning is hurting innocent people, small business owners, and neighborhoods. It isn't just hurting the big box stores and chains as some people like to insist. Those taking the position that this is a binary issue are also in the wrong. You absolutely can stand against police brutality, racial inequality, and systemic racism while also standing against the criminal and violent acts being performed all across this country. The sad thing is, all these acts do is detract from the actual issue and put the focus on the aftermath instead. A better man than most, he knew that violence is never the answer and he changed this country for the better:

"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy, instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that"

- Martin Luther King Jr.


That is real truth being thrown down by MLK.

Jezuz man, do you hear yourself?


Here are the stats. More white people live in Project-Based Section 8 housing than any other race by far.

Hey Sniper and the rest of the magas don't like protest! Shocking.

The problems created "detract from the actual issue" if you are obtuse. The GOP want's the demonstrations violent because they think that will "detract from the actual issue".

Twitler's plan is to escalate in order to get his dumbed down ma$$es to be afraid.

Nah, the violence detracts from the actual issue because well: It detract from the actual issue. Watch any news source you like, read any site you want. The focus is absolutely, undeniably on the burning, looting, and violence. Not sure how something plainly and clearly observable is 'obtuse', but so be it if that is your opinion.

This nonsense does nothing to stop hate. All it does is fuel it. I stand 100% by MLKs words because they were and still are absolute truth.

Are these people rioting or protesting? The people who came out of the building lived in an apartment over the store.



This looks like a nice peaceful protest.



Just wait until a looter gets shot and then the looters and rioters get to play the victim.

I searched YouTube for Dallas protest beating and this one came up. I just knew that it happened in Dallas. I doubt any of those people are Russian.

It is a matter of time before someone looting does get shot. There are already armed people in some locations defending their livelihoods and neighborhoods. Can't say I blame anyone for defending themselves from this nonsense. Most of the people out doing these acts don't even care about George Floyd. The people that do care are protesting peacefully.

The Russians use RT to amplify anything disruptive so as to further destabilize the US. I'm sure they're grateful for your assistance.

As soon as guns enter the equation then we have pretty much entered The Purge.

Honestly, we aren't far off. If store owners started standing up for themselves then things would go nuts.

The biggest problem is that these smaller scaled riots have been tolerated for too long. Protest all you want. I support peaceful protest. Once you cross the line into burning and stealing then you get what you get. Nobody is stealing a damn iPad or an expensive handbag to honor George Floyd or to stand up for any kind of injustice.

Exactly. If this expands into residential neighborhoods then things will get nuts. A lot of people are very well-equipt to hold down a position for a very long time if they have to.

The question is: why are people so up in arms about property damage but not about systematic incarceration of large segments of the US citizenry? If there was the same amount of outrage that African Americans are incarcerated at 5 times the rate of whites or that 1/3 of African American males unse the age of 25 are in the criminal justice system, perhaps we would not be where we are at this moment? Many individual actions are wrong, but the fundamental issue is systemic and institutional. This is the end result of many actions. Yes someone ultimately decides to throw a brick through a window but someone else decided to disenfranchise that person's grandparents, and some else decided to break his family apart through drug laws, and someone else decided to break the kids balls just for hanging out on his front porch because there are no decent parks where he lives and his school is shit.

Because large segments of the population richly deserve to be incarcerated, as is demonstrated by the recent riots. Owning property, on the other hand, is legal and people bust their buts every day to obtain and keep it, and no good for nothing criminal should be able to take it. Self evident, really. You should have stayed in school.

You should've stayed in law school. You clearly do not understand FL and Federal laws as I've proven over and over. You're the last one that should be telling people to stay in school. Meanwhile your grammar is almost as bad as Cheater's.
I've proven before. Y

Well you boys got all pissy when Kap peacefully took a knee, now you're clutching pearls over people destroying or looting property.

I suppose if I knew the country was built on the unpaid labor of my kidnapped ancestors, and police were murdering my friends and family in the street, I might not hesitate to break shit up and take what I want.

You can shoot if you want, you might get shot back, who knows. Fuck around and find out I suppose.

More nonsense from you. You really need to grow up.

How many people are currently up in arms over the peaceful protesters? Somewhere close to ZERO.
