Like? Im pretty sure they have organised bricks and other destructive protests in the past. Its not news or an indication of a vast brick conspiracy.

The difference being we have proof of the bricks. Show me the proof of these Russians starting these riots.

Fire, pestilence and a country at war with itself: the Trump presidency is over | Robert Reich

A pandemic unabated, an economy in meltdown, cities in chaos over police killings. All our supposed leader does is tweet

A pandemic unabated, an economy in meltdown, cities in chaos over police killings. All our supposed leader does is tweet

You’d be forgiven if you hadn’t noticed. His verbal bombshells are louder than ever, but Donald J Trump is no longer president of the United States.


By having no constructive response to any of the monumental crises now convulsing America, Trump has abdicated his office.

He is not governing. He’s golfing, watching cable TV and tweeting.

How has Trump responded to the widespread unrest following the murder in Minneapolis of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white police officer knelt on his neck for minutes as he was handcuffed on the ground?

Trump called the protesters “thugs” and threatened to have them shot. “When the looting starts, the shooting starts,” he tweeted, parroting a former Miami police chief whose words spurred race riots in the late 1960s.

On Saturday, he gloated about “the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons” awaiting protesters outside the White House, should they ever break through Secret Service lines.

Once again no mention of the actual cause of death in your quote. You are one the ones fueling the flames. You are part of the problem.

But yet if people say it's black people and that black people must be condemned, they're the racists. This lady will get a smack on the arse and some thumbs ups.

He specialises in posting pics of Stormy Daniels and Epstein.

Don't expect a response.

Personally I think way to much is made of BLM. Black on white crime is a much bigger issue and you don't have these media circuses around that.

I am more and more starting to have an issue with media. Reporting is one sided, over sensationalized and aimed at fueling any flames. We are seeing it with Covid and this. The reporting on this in SA that i have seen on TV has not once mentioned the outcome of the post mortem. They are clearly only interested in fueling the flames.

You are trying to conflate two separate issues and then saying it does not matter. Parts of the US has a huge crime problem drug problem, White people use drugs at a similar rate as black people yet are far more likely to be arrested and incarcerated for minor drug offences.

Often the same people who are grieved and outraged by what happens in the US are entirely silent when poor black people are killed by the police here at home.

Yep. All over my FB.

White friends posting BLM and ''This has to stop''. On one of their posts someone posted ''And what about Collins Khosa?''

''Who is that?'' was the response from woke white boy.

I don't support Trump, but in my view, it is political propaganda spread through social mediums to undermine the US states and to target Trump's presidency. Floyd's tragic death is being politically weaponised.

I’m not going into the Democrats and Republicans debate as it isn’t my place, but I have heard American opinions and their stance on their political grounds and believes. You have to ask in which cities the riots are ignited, and what there is to gain?

This is how I perceive it at this current time. I have seen how quickly racial incidents are politicised to achieve short-term victories to correct the long-term goal. Here we even leverage our Human Right Commission to engage in said activities. No Russians, Chinese or Cubans needed.

Then again, my suspicions may be wrong and it may be very well the populace who have gone cray.
