OT...Last week protestors wrote graffiti .....

Soooo all of the statues and Confederate memorials that went up in the 50s and 60s and during the Civil Rights Era... we’re all cool with those?

Let’s look at it this way:
-Most of the Confederate monuments went up during Jim Crow in the early 20th century and in the 2 years after the NAACP.

-Most of the schools named after members of the Confederacy were named so in the 10 years after Brown vs Board of Education.


If you’re making the argument “BuT iT’s HiStOrY,” are you open to the idea that people choose the history that is told?

I just can’t imagine being angry about the statue of a Confederate general coming down haha

My opinion is I could care less honestly about most of the statues. Let’s take em down.

however, do it right and through the process. Have state legislatures make a damn decision on what can stand and what should come down. Heck lets even have a list of allowed and protected statues and a list of ones that need to come down. Not all inclusive mind you but seriously, Chris Columbus?

use the proper avenues to make the change legit, the iron is hot now for it to be done properly.

Just vandalizing or destroying property because it offends you is complete BS. And should be punished.

I like the thought process but if we have cops that can’t get it right, what makes you think volunteers with infinitely less training will do better. The lawyers are lining up.

Truth is that the Police get it right more often than they get it wrong. The difference is you never hear about the right they do, just the wrong. Kind of similar to Air Traffic, you never hear about all the flights that make it successfully but you always hear about a crash.

hey guys

its starting to appear that these internal conflicts that these cities have created for themselves will not end without some major bloodshed.

this is starting to get out of hand as these mayors tread lightly for political reasons allowing these communist and anarchist to think they have something going here.

its high time guns need to be pointed directly at these "looters rioters and vandals"

this is masked as a racial thing on the surface, but underneath it all is a bunch of poor people who cant make it in this system. they demand it be changed.

BLM is fighing a war

BLM is not aiming at the right target.

they are battling drug king pins who sell their kids drugs.

that's the number 1 enemy of black youth in america

its not the cops

focus the energy on gangs in cities pushing drugs

be a lot more helpful than worrying about a statue

or trying to occupy a precinct

or blockading a freeway (seriously seattle let them do it)

our local politicians in cities over the last few months have shown us how incompetent many of them really are despite their last job if they ever had a private sector job.

Agree 1000%. I couldnt care less about most of the statues either. And my personal opinion is that anyone who gets triggered by the presence of a statue is a loser. Society needs to remind these losers that we still have law and order. Have a problem with any of them and you’re free to take it up with your local legislatures. If you can’t get enough support behind your cause to make the changes you demand, tough shit accept it and move on like an adult.

over a thousands triggers were pulled over the weekend.

its a shame city democrats have allowed such lawlessness

An 8 year old girl was killed in Atlanta this weekend at the Wendy’s where Rashard Brooks was killed...”protesters” shot her while she was sitting in the car...so young & so sad!

Yet, that’s not what the left is mad about today...they are mad bc Mayor Bottoms said you can’t blame this one on the police. That’s what they’re mad about?? A little girl lost her life for no reason whatsoever but you’re mad bc you can’t blame it on the police?! Shameful.

yea its time trump signs an executive order outlining what a "peaceful" protest means

and blockading city streets is not a peaceful action

 

[tigergrad03]

So you are advocating vigilantes to shoot people on the streets of America? And you think that is a healthy response to vandalism? If you start shooting at people, do others have a right to start shooting back at you?

I am if they are dragging innocent people from their cars and terrorizing, beating and destroying their property in the streets which has now become the newest way to “protest.” Any business owner has the right to shoot them for destroying their business.

And they do not have the right to shoot back. They can but they will die. And if you think you can defend what I’ve stated above about what they’re doing you will be horrifically shocked at what’s coming. People are done with this shit. Anyone who does anything but peacefully protest deserves what they have coming. If they come around here they will reap the whirlwind.
And in the democratic cities of Chicago, NY, LA and many others thugs shoot many people daily including children and it never ends. So absolutely deputize the lawful gun owners and all of this stops. For you see we wouldn’t have to shoot them. They would stop and never start back.

 

[tigergrad03]

What about the protestors that tore down the statues of an old leader (forget his name...non civil war though) up north?? Would they be considered thugs and scum in your opinion?

Absolutely! Just because you don’t agree with something doesn’t give you the right to destroy it.

George Washington’s scum? Hmmm okay, if that’s how you feel.

Legislators cannot be allowed to decide this. They are corrupt to the core and everything they do is agenda based

What? Absolutely not! Did you read what I wrote? No one has a right to tear any statue down because of their beliefs. Period

You replied “absolutely” when I asked if people that tore down statues were scum. Thomas Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, Hancock, all tore down statues and coats of arms.

Some supported jailing loyalists.

I misread your post. We are in the same page. Yes they’re scum. And if they are destroying personal businesses and blocking vehicles in the road, dragging people from their vehicles and now have shot and killed an 8 year old, they should be shot on the spot.

dam

bagdad was never this bad

wonder which city council members and us house reps are in these districts

who has time to worry about what goes on in washington

both senators and all the us house reps should be in chicago

this is a national emergency for them.

 

[PawsFan_]

George Washington (CharlesIII in New York) Thomas Jefferson (various coats of arms), John Hancock, and Ben Franklin are not criminals.


They fought for justice and freedom.

Are you really going to compare the thugs doing this today with this country's revolutionary fathers. They fought against what amount to as a foreign government ruling them. Are you advocating for revolution in this country and that the current scum that perpetrate these crimes are future "patriots." Please.

Nah, we’re gonna ignore this altogether...it happens daily...no big deal...

What we’re really worried about is that next cop-related shooting of an unarmed black man...that’s the real problem in America. It may be months before it happens again, but when it does, we’ll be ready. Target doesn’t stand a chance.

Fredrick Douglass? Because if that's the one, that would make them either idiots, or they honestly don't care about civil rights at all.

He was civil war era so probably not. But I find it hilarious that someone tore down his statue.

that was taxation without representation

this is totally different

these people have no money, no credit, no jobs, probably got part or all of a worthless degree, huge student loan debts, multiple ESA animals, lives off the govt

and they want more without taxation

huge difference man
