We need an AR-15 (or equivalent) in every household Just for the sort of riot we saw these past few days…..just in case we or our property becomes a target of the Mob. (think “Roof Koreans”)

We need our own transportation, in case the state or local Governments decide for whatever reason (like to keep the rioters from moving from one place to the other, spreading mayhem as they go) as they have in this case shutting down that oft-revered “Public Transportation”
If one is in the Burbs, or a collar community, and had no car, today you were screwed, as the State of Indiana and the City of Chicago shut down the trains to keep people from travelling FROM  the Burbs to do mayhem and to keep people from travelling TO the city for protests that could turn ugly.

Trust in Government only works when they can (and are willing) to keep us all safe and able to move. But that only works when those they govern behave…..

Me? I trust myself, a select few, and I trust my government and those who rail against the perceived failures of the Government to provide not at all. Especially when they want to rend and destroy and steal, and blame me for their own failings and the failure of their culture. And who feel that they can redistribute my earnings and possessions or damage me and people near and/or dear to me because of their “rage”….

If ever there is a reason for an armed populace, the latest riots “protests” are a good example.

When they want to, the media can find video from 20 years ago about someone they dislike….usually within hours.

Yet they have chosen NOT to show us the videos of the entire George Floyd incident with the police.

I think they are deliberately choosing not to find the video, or, if they have it, they are not showing it so the riots “protests” will continue.

Just as they are lowballing the coroner’s reports  that say that Mr. Floyd was NOT killed by having a knee on his neck, (nor what his trachea crushed) nor was he killed by suffocation, but rather the cause of death appears to be heart failure, exacerbated by Methamphetamines and Fentayl, possibly aggravated by the stress of his arrest.
Odd that they aren’t trumpeting this fact as loudly and as often as they did the video of his arrest, innit?

If you think that this civil unrest was not planned, and Mr. Floyd’s death (on video!) was not just an excuse to have it (if it would not have been this, it would have been another), then you might be interested in a bridge I have for sale….Cheap. Used bills please, and cash only.

To protest the death of George Floyd?

Hey, lets loot and burn, and show people that we are just as much the animals you claim that they treat you as.  Show them that you are criminals and thieves and prone to violence.

Yeah, that will get you the treatment that you wish from the rest of society.

I feel sorry for every decent, hard working black person. They are gonna be judged in a different light by the other folks with less melanin they work and other wise associate with after this weekend, And most probably don’t deserve to be painted with that brush.

All the protesters have a legitimate reason to destroy.

Ferinstance, these folks who tried to burn a police car.

Yeah, they’ve been kept down by the whites.

Likely the end of some promising careers there. 

2 very successful experiments.

I got nuthin’ else to add.

They are even happening near me (more or less peacefully)…less than 20 miles away, in a fairly affluent area where the cops generally don’t hassle anyone unless they REALLY try to get the attention of the Po-Po…Not even in the areas where there are a lot of Section 8 folks that have been relocated in an attempt to integrate them into a more affluent mindset in a fairly decent neighborhood. 

But the protest near me is about 2/3 white, 1/3 black. And they are protesting …..because……Whites must have, at some point “Put the black man down” or something.
Nevermind that the facts of the George Floyd case are not what the Media chose to show us. To quote one of my local protesters:
“Yelling facts at people doesn’t change feelings,” he said.

And that is what this is all about. Feelings. Just because someone got crossways with the police, it must be because he was black. Just because someone dies while struggling with police while being restrained for arrest, it must be the police that killed him. ‘Cause cops are racist because they investigate, detain, and sometimes arrest black people.

Of course, if anyone thinks that this round of protests” spontaneously erupted across the country then they must be stupid as well as blind , gullible, and a fool.

Every time the DNC types have problems, or a scandal, or are losing in the polls…..

The media shows us a carefully edited snippet of video showing a black man being mistreated or killed by a white cop.

Protests ensue, sometimes black people, sometimes white people doing the rioting.

Funny, that.

You gotta ask yourself who, exactly,  organized these “Spontaneous Protests” ?

It is, after all, an election year. 

Protests all over the country for “justice”.

Of course, they don’t really want “justice”, They want revenge.
Immediate.
No investigation, no trial, just revenge. Right now.

They call that a Lynching. If it were whites insisting on revenge for perceived crimes by a black person, and summary justice rather than a trial, they’d call that a lynching.

But that is what they want. Instant “Justice”.

Should the cop get off without an investigation and a trial? Absolutely not. Should he be lynched? Also absolutely not.

Just because a 30 second video with no context was shown on TV, and a report that it happened over 7 minutes is no reason to demand a lynching. Of course, it is a white cop and a black man so there is no presumption of guilt on the cop’s part.

But I doubt that the protesters care enough to be logical or rational. They want revenge.

Sadly, they don’t realize that this is scripted. Designed to keep them angry.

And another thing: I can understand the protest (not the riots) in Minneapolis. That is where the incident occurred. But everywhere else? Sorry, no excuse.
And burning your own neighborhood is the process? Just a bunch of people demonstrating why we have stereotypes for them. Sad. 

Is this a surprise to anyone?

At least, the World Health Organization has dropped the ball a LOT regardign the CoronaVirus “pandemic”.

But now their advice directly contradicts the Center for Disease Control….

Healthy people should wear masks only if caring for coronavirus patients, WHO says

So masks work, except they don’t but everyone should wear them, except most people don’t need to wear them, unless you do.
And the WHO is the authority on the Covid, unless the CDC is the ruling authority, except when it contradicts the WHO then ….?
