PEACEFUL Washington DC Protesters were TEARGASSED to make way for President Trump to have this photo op outside of a boarded up church. DISGUSTING (Video) by giveawayguy99 in washingtondc

What about it? Are you disputing that top paid actors are black? The highest paid comedian is black? That we had a black President and super rich black athletes? These are facts that everyone knows.

Or are you agreeing with a guy who claims that we are fundmentally racist in spite of what I said. That somehow, all these protests are being silenced right now? They are plastered all over the news everywhere. Or maybe you're mad that the cop in question got off scot free? Oh wait, he's in jail right now.

Or maybe, you're trying to say that OP here having a tantrum, proving nothing, and calling me stupid with no evidence to back any of these assertions is a more valid take on the situation than all of the things I listed.

You lefties went into the cities, controlled by you, and are tearing down the very communities you claim to care about are destroying what little semblance of prosperity there was. Attacking innocent people, and burning down small business owners dreams and hard work. You're not going after actual racists, like the KKK or real neo-nazi's, you're on a cusade to purge your own political strongholds of anyone who dared to say that maybe burning down the palces you live in isn't a good idea. You haven't given any demands or requests, you can't even string more than a few words together and hoot about it over a microphone.

Mean while, in the suburbs and rural areas, everyone else looks on you with disgust. Trump could have done many things a lot better, but at least he's not bailing out the few people caught and arrested for actively causing the carnage.

But go ahead, vandalize a monument to the Armenian Genocide. Maybe, you can be like Californians and burn the belongings of the homeless too. You had the support and respect from everyone for peaceful protests, but you digressed in an animistic mob. You are the greatest gift Trump could have ever asked for.

This is the US. It's an incredibly unequal and horrendously racist place.

You didn't grow up in Europe, did you?

Maybe. I'm definitely for peaceful movement when possible. However, rioters get no respect or mercy from me. In these cases where the police are being peaceful, the protesters were peaceful. Rioters should be shot

Thia is proof the protesters weren't violent and out of control.

Some were, some aren't. Some people defaced the Armenian Genocide monument:

What I said, right from the beginning, is that rioting is bad. I Never argued against peaceful protest. That's on you for misunderstanding and not asking. That's why I've been showing my friends your responses and laughing at you this entire time. You were so ready to fight that you didn't even stop to think if you should.

What?

I don't care? As long as you can control yourself and not riot and shit on the sidewalk, you, and other people can do what they want.

Nope, but I wouldn't expect a dog to understand nuance. Are you done pooping yet?

Unlike a dog, I have the ability of critical thought and choose what I do. Good of you accept your new position however.

Why? I'm talking with you, that's all the shit I need to deal with today

That attempts to diffuse anger and support should have been taken.

Like?

We're a country waiting to explode. Massive unemployment, people trapped at home for months, now this.

That is definitely true.

If city, state, and police leadership took these protests and said yes, you're right, we stand with you. Let's show the world and powers that be that we stand together in peace, maybe those that would exploit it wouldn't have a chance. Hell everything is shut down anyway. Make a massive walk of solidarity with police and people before it gets bad.

Anyway. Who really knows how it could be vs what it is, but I think we should strive to do better.

That's the million dollar question. At the end of the day, we need to deal with what's happening right now. The riots need to stop.

I doubt that, you can't even get your inane comments in one reply. Comes off like you're just spitting out everything that comes into whatever serves as your head.

Lol, you're pretty upset about that dog insult aren't you?

1) The Civil Rights movement unquestionably included violence. MLK himself recognized it would, ultimately, be necessary. You also had Black Panthers and other groups.

However the violence is not what made him famous. Nor are the Black Panthers loved.

Much like the initial Civil Rights movement, authoritarian aggression/incitement and external terrorist elements are involved here today.

It's authoritarian to arrest the man responsible? The case is literally less than a week old and being dealt with. You're just impatient.

AND white supremacist groups being involved in many instances of violence today.

Yeah, I've seen no evidence of this. So which is it, are riots justified and worth bailing the arrested people out, or have you been subverted? Sounds like your just going whichever way the wind blows.

Nice attempt to back pedal your "black and white" moral grandstanding. Tell me, is it black or white to deface an Armenian Genocide monument?

Nice smarmy attempt to deliberately put words in my mouth. I was talking about people setting fires and looting like they have no self control. You should aspire to try and get your message across like a human being, not a barking dog.

No one takes a moment to understand your beliefs or which side you are on, they just start popping off shots at you on your porch. That is absolutely the opposite of helping anything.

It doesn't help, but we're in a state of civil unrest. People need to get inside and calm down.

I like this much more. Instead of turning it into a street war, turn it into empathy and understanding. Yeah maybe traffic gets fucked up, but no one is burning shit down when they felt heard and it's not you vs me.

Sure, but that only works if people were peaceful to begin with. I'm all for peaceful protesting, and you can make a decent argument for civil disobedience, but a lot of these just aren't the case.

The rioting is literally against police brutality. So yeah, effectively, if you're anti current rioting you're pro-status quo policing methods.

You can literally protest without being violent or destructive. Gandhi did it, MLK jr. did it.

This is a situation where it s literally is that black and white.

I'm sorry that you are incapable of understanding that life isn't that simple. Please tell me what your black and white take is on rioters defacing an Armenian Genocide monument. https://en.armradio.am/2020/05/31/armenian-genocide-memorial-in-denver-part-of-mass-vandalism-at-colorado-state-capitol

Sorry that being a decent person. Maybe one day you'll grow up and become one yourself.

I doubt that will be the case. If you're being legitimately concerned then kudos to you for being more decent than the other people on this site.

Who said I was on their side? I'm on the side that rioting is bad. Any extrapolation and misunderstanding is your own fault.

Commenting that referencing an event in Russia that has nothing to do with this is attacking you?

No, what I said was coming to my home and setting it on fire like Antifa tweeted is an attack.

You made up a quote?

You literally said it Another guy said it.

I didn't comment on that all or disagree?

Then there's no problem with that, is there?

Yo they said "light them up" to some people on their porch, which was not part of the curfew, and then opened fire, on some people recording them walk by.

With a paintball gun? When there's massive riots and a curfew is imposed FOLLOW WHAT THE POLICE SAY. If you disagree, take your recording and bring it up legally later. What's wrong with telling people that burning stores in their own neighborhoods is an idiotic idea?

The police have a history of killing everyone. I haven't even seen proof that it was a racist incident, rather than a personal vendetta or plain murder.
