Anyway, I think this is brilliant, actually prophetic ito what we're seeing now. It also applies to our local policies.

You can put all that aside and simply view it as a matter of public property.
Do I have a right to go and tear up a piece of public property because it hurts my fee fees? The answer is no. Doing that is what people who hate civilization do.

And if you want pearl clutching, all I have to do is ask any card carrying progressive to do the terrible thing and give me a definition of a woman.

Steamrolling in the sense that they pushed them back so rapidly that German lines disintegrated and entire divisions were encircled.

I wonder if the Muslim countries in North Africa kept records of the 1 million white slaves they kidnapped. Wonder if those countries done away with those records?

Most countries have some kind of past they want to forget.

Don't you know, the people promoting the protests are white supremacists because they know BLM members will be disproportionately affected?

‘Latinos and Black communities have a common pain, a common oppression.’ Illustration


On Saturday night, just before 11, California highway patrol officers opened fire on the car Erik Salgado was driving in east Oakland, killing the 23-year-old and injuring his pregnant girlfriend.

It was the second time in four days that Bay Area law enforcement killed a Latino man suspected of property crimes. Sean Monterrosa, 22, was shot dead in Vallejo on 2 June by police responding to calls of looting. Monterrosa was on his knees when an officer opened fire through his car window, the city’s police chief said. .

The deaths of Salgado and Monterrosa were new tragedies unfolding even before the communities of color in the San Francisco Bay area had a chance to absorb the previous trauma.


Latino community activists say they hear their own stories echoed in the demand for an end to police brutality, with Salgado’s name only the most recent hashtag in a long and growing list of Latinos killed by police – cases that don’t always generate widespread media coverage.

“It’s important not to get caught up in the trap of oppression Olympics and compare our oppression against other groups”, said George Galvis, executive director of Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice (Curyj), an organization that supports youth impacted by incarceration.

“Latinos and Black communities have a common pain, a common oppression. But we’ve got our own martyrs.”

‘Questionable circumstances’
Salgado’s life came to an end just blocks away from the middle school in east Oakland he attended as a teenager.

On Monday, friends and family at his vigil recalled what they’ll miss about him: he was a good father to his three-year-old daughter, said his stepdad, Farid Majail. Always asking what his nephews needed, said his cousin. He liked video games and soccer and had plans for the future.
