Not angry enough to go burn down buildings, steal or punch someone in the face. I think we are good. I am not angry at you though. I still stand by my earlier post.

Must be nice hey, not everyone can pass judgement from their ivory tower.

No lives truly matter if you want to be 100% objective.

I'm a horrible lefty and yet I haven't burned anything down either...

Nice chatting though, and I really mean that.

Not all left wingers are violent. I'm just concerned that when the radical left wingers start being violent. You guys defend their actions. I don't see centrist, conservatives and right wing libertarians defend white supremacists and neo nazis...

You listen too and quote the radical leftists trying to convince you with all their abilities that everyone but them are fascist, neo nazi, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic evil people.

It's hilarious actually.

He decided to go personal. Just like he is entitled to his opinions, so I am to mine.

Do you have an issue with that?

Trump himself.
You'd think a president would seek to first get to the bottom of the issue by speaking with local government reps whether they be from the party who elected him or not.

And how says he did not?

I hope you don't have an ivory tower emjay.

I like elephants. I'll have to unfriend you if that's true.
I'm really hoping EADC is lying.

I've seen no evidence he did. All I've seen is him calling on the mayor to act by tweeting to the mayor. Unless that'd how engagements now work between the oval office/bedroom and local authorities. Trump doesn't even pretend to be bi-partisan for the sake of some semblance of working together.

Where do bricks come from? Must be aliens.

Started with a violent act, with a knee on the neck. Protestors have used that as the genesis of all this. As with mass hysteria such as this, it all goes out of control.

Some places have managed non violent protests.

Yup, just as some places have cops which have dealt with the protesters in a non violent manner. Neither side come out of this looking good with the violence.

On Sunday night, New York's top terrorism cop, Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence and Counterterrorism John Miller, detailed his office's analysis and investigation into why the New York City protests have become so violent and damaging at times.

"No. 1, before the protests began," Miller said, "organizers of certain anarchist groups set out to raise bail money and people who would be responsible to be raising bail money, they set out to recruit medics and medical teams with gear to deploy in anticipation of violent interactions with police."

He added, "They prepared to commit property damage and directed people who were following them that this should be done selectively and only in wealthier areas or at high-end stores run by corporate entities."


Celebrities are coming under fire for donating to a bail fund aimed at springing protesters even as police struggle to stop the escalating violence in Minneapolis and other U.S. cities.

A knee that has been found to not have killed the man.

I ask again, if I (protesters) hit (rioting) you (society) in the face, what do you do?

I have a feeling you're in the Minneapolis Mayoral school of, "let them do what they want".

These riots must be stopped. How do you stop them.

Were these non-violent cops dealing with violent protesters?

Now you say, "no".

Just a few questions.

Inaction is antagonizing the people?
It's Trump's responsibility to make sure the Governers are looking after their own States?
What about the Senators or Congress persons for those states/areas?

Piles of bricks have been pre-placed in areas before violence breaks out. In the middle of a riot, driving into an area with a pile of bricks is not possible. Would love to know more about this. These communities know who these people are. Fighting against efforts to coordinate violence and use violent mobs is pretty scary. I think Antifa has been left for a bit too long.

Ok Emjay, i mean you can quite clearly see the scaffolding next to the pile of building supplies for work/construction they are doing at the building in picture.

I'd not call his tweets calling for citizens to be shot if they riot quiet. That was before the looting and riot got to this stage - it was just threats as far as I'm aware and some build up of anger.

It is not his responsibility but his reactions and public statements don't help them do their work.

Same as above, they seem to try quell the riots without calling for national guard and machine guns as a first response. Unlike Trump.
