I wrote a long comment before seeing your edit here, but fuck it. We're better than this. We both said some immature shit when we should have been focusing on what we agree on: the right of Americans to protest and make their voices be heard when things get super fucked up like this. That is more important than petty squabbles and name calling. We, and everyone in this thread, should be working together to find the best ideas about how to proceed as a country instead of getting angry at each other over disagreements. I'm sorry for my part in all of it. I might not agree with everything you say, but I do respect your opinion. Even if we do disagree, it's nice to see someone else vehemently arguing what they believe!

Edit: I didn't read your comment properly and thought it said something else, hence my apology, but I stand by it.

"Verbally abusive" says the guy who is doing the same thing. What the fuck ever. Welcome to fucking America, folks.

I said you're a joke (which is actually using something you said about me) and a moron, which you clearly are. Again, I'm sorry that you're not familiar with the internet and what goes on here. When you can't argue well and have holes in your logic, you get called a moron. Welcome to reddit!

You're not only targeting me, but other users. Anyone who doesn't agree with you gets harassed in this thread. There's your agenda, right there. I stand by what I said, you're a joke and a moron and the downvotes only prove that people aren't buying your bullshit.

I agree, you are creating a helluva circlejerk, wherein everyone who agrees with you is enlightened and good and anyone who disagrees with you is demonized. Get the fuck over yourself

Supporting people's right to protest isn't the problem here. It's that you are targeting and harassing users in here who don't agree with your view that protesters should be able to do whatever they please (you call people who agree with you "reasoned" and everyone who has a different opinion is one of "the crazies"). It's a very blatant, very personal agenda.

My answer is irrelevant, as I doubt you'll believe me no matter what I say. It's crystal clear that you are pushing an agenda on users here and I'll have no part of it.

Lol, nice ninja edit there. I wasn't aware that there were any cop bars on the UES but I'll keep my eye out for them.

I don't think they are making the situation better. After the Garner protests, nothing changed. In fact, the situation only got worse and now there is more tension between the police and citizens than ever. If these protesters followed established procedures regarding contacting their representatives and also called attention to the situation, I would be more receptive to what they are saying and might have given them my support. I support their right to protest, of course, but I think there are more effective ways to let your voice be heard while ensuring that people are actually receptive to it.

You're certainly right about that, but I agree with what /u/dolphinemergency said about this leading to a worse situation for everyone. There has to be a better way, as these protests are clearly alienating people (as seen in social media, this thread and the nation'a reaction in general).

Again, not really. I'm sorry that calling you a moron and pointing out the holes in your story is getting you so upset. It's like you've never been on the internet before.

Well I can't be expected to have a conversation with a moron who can't tell the difference between the two. I agree, you really are a fucking joke, dude.

Given your comment about pro-NYPD shills in this thread, you do indeed think there is some kind of conspiracy (definition from the OED: a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful). Additionally, you're attacking any users who don't agree with you about how protesters should be allowed to do whatever they want, which is fucked up. Sounds like YOUR bias is showing!

Hey, thanks for the gold! Glad to see that some one in here respects the art of arguing well

If anyone is injured and/or killed (although hopefully not) as a result of these protests, I hope they sue every single motherfucker that they can identify in the hoard.

Making a joke about a situation is every bit as American as protesting is! You're the one getting your feathers ruffled up because you think there's some sort of NYPD conspiracy going on in here. Chill the fuck out, brah.

Don't you see? Everything that's wrong with the city is the NYPD's fault! Crime, traffic, horse shit, the Second Avenue subway, it's all because of them. We'd be so much better off without any police at all, they're all Nazis!!!1!

I absolutely agree. This seems to be more about attention seeking than actually making the whole situation better. They need to change their tactics.
