They. Stormed government building fully armed and ready for war.
Were not shot at because they were white.

I disagree with rioting and looting and all that jazz, but the double standard here is ridiculous.

Can you imagine if a group of Black individuals in full riot gear basically stormed government buildings because they couldnt go to the beach?

Funny thing though, no property was damaged, no violence ensued, no one was foaming at the mouth screaming to murder police. And guess what, they were allowed to peacefully protest. Amazing the freedom you have when you're not acting like a horde of bloodthirsty racists.

No I will not be out there holding a sign, I am doing my part by not being involved in riots that just make the situation worse.

Oh really???


SF resident was kneeling when fatally shot by Vallejo police during civil unrest

Oh and police shooting at little kids with rubber bullets

A hammer is not a weapon?

Why would someone have a hammer after midnight if they weren't going to use it as a weapon to either loot a store or use against someone? Can't say it's for work because your not working at the time of night

You thought a loaded drunk manic depressed goalie was actually good. Great hill to die on.

He got sober and medicated and actually looks decent.

Who woulda thought?

To answer that poopty rhetorical question: It could be any other league when there is no nhl next year because the very same people who wanted to “flatten the curve” are now going to DC to spread it.

Go away.

Nope, never said he was “good”
Said he wasn’t as awful as u were claiming

And you’ve been proven wrong

To pay up on our bet,
U can change your avatar to a pic of George Floyd

That is, if you’re man enough to pay up

FVCK that channle, FVCK all "News" channels.

I want a media misinformation act to be passed to fine stations and its employees for passing along agendas and not actual news.

It puts so many people in danger.

Gerbs,
you’re wasting your time trying to get older privileged white men to empathize with what’s going on

Appreciate the effort...
but some ppl just don’t get it, and never will

A lifelong of biased prejudice & bigotry isn’t gonna change unless they want it to,
and all they’re all more than proving they have no interest in doing so

- jdfitz77


Gerbe is a keyboard warrior

He says things but doesn't do anything to actually help the cause, literally said it's not going to change so why do anything

Agreed with this.

Looters should be dealt with with rubber bullets and such.

Rioting, looting and burning the property of those same people that stand with you is a sure way for the cause to be lost.

but people standing in groups, doing peaceful protests do not need to be fired upon for no reason other that "Well it was curfew".

Media trying to report on stories do not need to be attacked.

I just said (in the post that you quoted) that he got sober and medicated and looked decent.

Proven wrong? Let’s get him (frank)ed up and depressed again and we can revisit that assertion.

Why weren’t you ever willing to help the community you live in if everything is so terrible? Buffalo is extremely racially divided and undereducated. Where have you been? It’s convenient now to protest, don’t put yourself on a pedestal.

Now this i agree with.

That's one of the biggest problems is the undereducated.


With that said, the best time to change for the better is now.
Institutional reform.
Governmental reform.
Education reform.
Societal reform.


And for damn sake if anything can we get term limits?
