Same with George Floyd?

What an absolute bevy of winners. Go Michigan.

Get off that crack pipe, man.

Get off that crack pipe, man.

Dont you get it? That poor kid who was shot SHOULD be in the crime section- the local crime section- right where George Floyd should have been, not a months long riot inducing narrative pushing national news story. It essentially exposes the fact that all of the destructive civil unrest we have seen for months now is the fault of the left wing media and the stupidity of its constituents, not the made up boogeyman of "systemic racism."

When the media manufactures the news rather than just reporting it and when there's no news to rival the racist murder of people in the community that's a serious problem too but I'm afraid so long as these things get mentioned with a bunch of alt right buzz words and dog whistles mixed it, well, its just hard to take any of it seriously.

It just reads like another propaganda release from the usual suspects. So nothing changes. Though as you're fond of saying, nobody cares.

Substitute alt right with woke leftists, and you have just spelled out much the same reaction the right had for the George Floyd incident- except we weren't all that shy about coming out and saying it was a tragedy, and would support some kind of police reform to address it in the future if possible. The fact that people on the left can't get over themselves on the subject of the executed boy because of a few triggering "buzz words" is entirely in synch with their general mental health and emotional maturity, and says more about them than it does the right.

Aye.

I could have wrote it myself. Your response.

I guess you dont need bots when your machine like already as it is. Not really much to discuss if you dont understand why its important that police can kill citizens with impunity. Its simply not in keeping with the origins of the USA and its founders spirit. There's maybe another country that you can move to which would be more to your liking, which is a little more open about its police state status?

Good luck, I hope you find what you're looking for and stop trying to make the USA conform to your vision instead.

No problem.
No problem at all.

Right.

What is particularly tiresome is some Trump supporters and other folks using current violence and unrest as an example of what would happen if “the left” were given political power, as though this didn’t happen under his watch. The responsibility of conservatives and the older generations is to provide guidance and wisdom to temper the passions of the progressives and other eager advocates of change. Instead, these people are just belittling, oppressing, instigating, with Trump as their divider and chief. They have no wisdom. No dignity. No concern for future generations. The only thing they seem to want to conserve is their bigotry and ignorance. It’s a breakdown of the fundamental virtues of the conservative ideal.

And then...they paint politicians like Biden and Harris as radicals. It’s a joke. Trump is a joke. The fact is, the DNC seems to be the only proper conservative party left; the only party positioned to temper the passions of the progressive left and focus its energies on realistic, measured change. If anything, it’s the Republican Party that has been overtaken by radicals. Radical science deniers. Radical theocrats. Destroyers of beloved institutions. All in the name of their beloved god emperor.

Agreed. I now think of it as a cult.

The news coverage surrounding the assassination of Angelucci has been hilarious

I think Kushner is a woman. Hm. What would that make Ivanka?

 

[Jaguar]

We are shifting into a society where, for instance, whites will be accused of racism for reporting legitimate crimes or assaults by someone who is black, and not only will the white victim not be taken seriously, but there will be destruction in their lives via being fired, etc. even though it wasn't even true.

You're overreacting.

It's already happened somewhat in some cases.

Stop the presses. The world is coming to an end.
