OT: American Politics

[worm]

So why are the victims of the violence ignored. When the police are the perpetrators is front page incessant news. When it's innocent people losing their livelihood, getting hurt etc, it's OMG TRUMP.

I get the need for protests but it's now a week of bullshit that has nothing to do with George Floyd anymore. People are getting tired of it and WILL back Trump on military action. Bet on it.

why do people keep saying this?

it is year and years of shit like that

 

[Habsy]

you keep going on and on about the looting - i will admit your sudden change was weird

ideally the protests / riots / looting would not happen but civil means have not really changed anything

and as they say - do not let perfect be the enemy of good

I know someone that lost everything last night in Miami. I'd like to see you not let it affect you when it's someone close to you. The looting needs to stop did not mean the racism doesn't need to stop. You guys look at this like a zero sum game. It's ridiculous.

Speaking out instigates a police riot in KC.

 

[Habsy]

Quick observation: you like to take your anger out on my when you get destroyed in your weekly argument on here. I get it. I'm annoying. I'd do the same thing if I consistently got wrecked.

I'm not wrecked. Nobody here carries enough weight in my life to feel wrecked about anything bub. It's a message board.

First amendment doesn’t seem to matter anymore such hypocrites.

that has been happening everywhere.

 

[leaffan2005]

I'm not wrecked. Nobody here carries enough weight in my life to feel wrecked about anything bub. It's a message board.

Now imagine you were afraid to leave your house on a daily basis on the fear of getting murdered by the people who are supposed to protect the public.

 

[Habsy]

Yeah under Bush, Obama, Clinton, Reagan...

BUT TRUMP!

Look, we all know the guy is an ahole and won't help matters but come on, people have to take responsibility for their own actions, police, protesters, politicians and highly opinionated internet posters alike.

Better than I would feel having somebody kneel on my neck for 9 minutes.

Such a dumb argument you are making. Yeah, we all think it's great that small businesses are getting their stores set on fire. Brilliant accusation.

it is almost as if we discussed all this when LoF was trying to make his idiotic points

 

[BeLeafer]

As for the police working in a very dangerous job, they are armed to the teeth (thanks to both pubs and dems).

 

[Preston]

I'm not wrecked. Nobody here carries enough weight in my life to feel wrecked about anything bub. It's a message board.

Yet you feel the need to have a meltdown every time. Odd.

Susan Collins. Furrows a brow now and then but ultimately gives Trump the benefit of doubt every single time.

 

[Habsy]

Now imagine you were afraid to leave your house on a daily basis on the fear of getting murdered by the people who are supposed to protect the public.

I get it. I would move. Seriously.

I also get they shouldn't have to.

Like I said, this isn't a zero sum game.

Not all protesters are looters or bad.

Not all police are bad

Not all white people are racist

It goes on and on.

 

[worm]

What if you couldn't maintain the insurance due to covid? Nothing is cut and dry.

that is the government part

 

[Habsy]

Yet you feel the need to have a meltdown every time. Odd.

Whose having a meltdown. I think you have comprehension issues. Stop with the antagonism.

 

[hockeylover]

He'd move.

lmao. omg.

 

[Habsy]

it is almost as if we discussed all this when LoF was trying to make his idiotic points

You're not getting it.

Why is it that all other issues must be ignored forever because of another issue?

Again, not zero sum.

 

[Habsy]

He'd move.

lmao. omg.

I've lived in six countries. I'd move.

I'm planning on #7 right now.

Stick your lol.

 

[Habsy]

Whatever, because of systemic racism looting and the destroying of lives elsewhere is ok. Got it.

Cheers everyone, think I'll go smoke a bowl.

 

[worm]

Yeah I mean we should all focus on the looting, the violence against police and the store owners who have had their stores damaged.

That is more important than systemic lynching of black people and the death of an innocent man who had his neck compressed for 9 minutes for no reason.

White America ladies and gentlemen.

i am much more worried about white collar crime ruining businesses than some property damage

 

[MindzEye]

You can believe you wouldn't

I've had conservatives telling me how I would think in a pile of situations my entire life. They've been wrong at every step.

You're wrong here.
