Not that we needed much more evidence that the chaos tourists involved are complete scumbags.

Weird how there were no articles moaning about black people breaking stuff but suddenly there's white supremacists under every pavement and behind every tree.Article on the post that someone else posted earlier:

Weird. I wonder if it's the media trying to push a narrative once again. Hmm, I wonder how long before they'll solely blame all the riots on Trump and Republicans.

Do you want to try re-writing this post without the racist, dishonest framing and the whiny victim complex?

Ooooooh. Right. I can only complain about white people. Sorry, I forgot. Also, lmao at complaining about victim complex when we literally have the US being burned down because of perceived "institutional-racism" against black people. Also it's not racist to say black people are breaking stuff in the US. They are.

Don't know where you've been, mate, but when it comes to moaning about people breaking stuff, I've seen black people blamed most of the time.
Where whites are mentioned, it's because it's apparently outside of the norm for them to be doing this stuff.
You know, you actually sound like the person trying to push a narrative more than the media.
Weird, huh?

Remember your comment in a week or two. Tell me who is going to be vilified and who will be vindicated.

lol, Tucker Carlson upset with Trump.
"Some key advisors around the president don't seem to understand the gravity of the moment. No matter what happens they'll tell you, 'our voters aren't going anywhere, the trailer parks are rock-solid. What choice do they have? They have to vote for us.'"
Ah, damn lib elites being condescending toward Trump voters.

I was wondering about that video. Is that an old lady in the turquoise? I thought it was a young lady or something. Either way, damn white supremacists beating old people.

The current protest is just a result of the media coverage. Social media is flexing its muscles.
if there is one lesson from this whole Pandemic, Protest saga then we need to start questioning how powerful social media is.
