To prove to you what a complete dupe you are, we hear virtually nothing about Covid-19 the disease, what we know about it specifically, treatments, preventives, etc.
Instead all you hear about is variants and 4th waves and the loss of that 4th of July BBQ. Get fully vaccinated! Of course you're not really vaccinated it's complicated. And all I see is the Card Board Cut Out President "fully vaccinated" but in 2 masks. Sign us up!!
These phrases next to each other should be nominated for a Darwin Award.

What is greater? Per capita victims of gun violence or per capita victims of the store they work at being vandalized?

One of the dumbest posts I've read in a long, long time. If I assume you're old enough to drive (and have insurance) why don't you ram your car into a wall every day? After all....you're insured!
That would be an apt comparison if the owners of said retailers broke into their own stores and stole things.

I think there is a lot of research that says a high percentage of murders are committed by someone the victim knows. Now I’m not saying that people do not accociate with people outside their race but it would explain a lot of these numbers.That is also true.
Still curious about the data and group @Boatdrinks is referring to.

Care to show your data or say what group you're referring to?
Here's the data I found.
https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/rhovo1215.pdf
57% of crimes involving white victims were committed by white perpetrators. 15% were committed by blacks, and 11% by Hispanics.
63% of the crimes involving black victims were committed by black perpetrators. 11% percent were committed by whites, and 6.6% by Hispanics.

Same race vs same race violence is pretty even across ethnic groups, except for one.

They’re far more likely to be killed by someone who looks like them.
So is every single demographic. It doesn't mean police brutality is not a problem.

No, the system worked as it is intended. The rioters at the ready were shocked....their narrative didn’t hold up. They quickly regrouped, then decided the angle would be that this verdict means nothing and isn’t nearly enough! Radical change must occur! Now, I’d feel better about the verdict if the jury was sequestered and the venue was moved. I think the jurors had to be in fear for their very lives unless they returned a guilty on all counts verdict. Still, it’s the best system we have, so it must stand. For now.
Tucker definitely wouldn't hang up on you

That was my point that I used as an example in another post. The entire number of police shootings in a given year by ALL cops across the land isn’t far off from actual intentional murders in a single American City! Not worth worrying about. We have a violent crime problem in America, not a Cop problem. You’ve got a 1 in 4 million chance of being killed by a shark. How much time do you spend worrying about that? Perspective is a real thing.
Perspective is a real thing - and renders your example dumb.
If I'm a surfer my chances of getting bit by a shark are a bit different than if I'm sitting on my ass in Buffalo.
Surfers worry a ton about sharks attacking them. Dudes sitting at Cole's on a Friday night don't.
Blacks worry a ton about being shot by cops. You don't.

They care so much about Chicago - I wonder what community advocacy groups in Chicago they support?

I get what you’re saying but the manufactured anger and outrage over looting is just an auto-response that I’ve heard my entire life.
The fact that there was no looting after the verdict (even though multiple right wing talking heads promised it would happen regardless of the outcome) and the complain de jour is now that the jurors were forced into their verdict by a "mob" shows that no matter the outcome certain folks, like the one this thread is about, are all in on their manufactured outrage.
10 hours ago, Doc Brown said:I can never defend rioting and looting although I can sympathize with the anger. History shows the public will sympathize with just movements by peaceful protests but not when rioting and looting are involved. As MLK once said, "Every time a riot develops. It helps George Wallace."
These days if millions protest, and another one breaks a Starbucks window, then 1,000,001 people are all of a sudden rioters.

I think that Democrats believe that capitalism is still the best way to go, while Socialist believe that all facets of life be owned by the government.
Can you name one person in politics who believes all facets of life should be owned by the government?

So you cannot address what's in the bill. All you have is who signed it and where they signed it. Come on man. Dig deep. You have to have something that specifically says it's racist? You've all been screaming it from the mountain tops. An email, text, witness who can say that this law was signed specifically to ***** over POC.
More feels not facts.
The context makes it racist. The fact you cannot see that context, that you cannot see the systemic racism that brought this bill to the floor in the first place, is unfortunate.
It's been explained to you ad nauseum.

All the people screaming from the mountain tops that witnessed the bill being signed to the detriment of the Georgian impovered are not witnesses?

But please for the LOVE OF GOD can anyone explain to me what make any of these racist?
A bunch of old white dudes signing the bill in private in front of a painting of a slave plantation while at the same time a black lawmaker is arrested for knocking on the door to witness the signing.
Nobody said the n word, though, so I guess there isn't the magic smoking gun you need, Jim.

I believe it was to avoid having to admit that elections could be tampered with on such a grand scale.
The courts gave specific reasons as to the suits that were thrown out. Instead of giving those reasons, you go back you the big lie.
You're part of a cult.

How a Custody Fight Plus QAnon Turned Deadly
https://www.wsj.com/articles/when-online-conspiracies-turn-deadly-a-custody-battle-and-a-killing-11617376764
Christopher Hallett spent years helping Neely Petrie-Blanchard fight for custody of her daughters. Then on the evening of Nov. 15, she shot him in the head in his Ocala, Fla., home. While blood pooled beneath Mr. Hallett’s dying body, Ms. Petrie-Blanchard declared her motive. She was convinced Mr. Hallett had joined a cabal of government Satanists to steal her children.
Mr. Hallett was a self-appointed expert in child-custody law, with no formal legal training, whose theories about corruption in the legal system attracted thousands of followers on YouTube and Facebook.
He used what he called calculus equations to prove his legal arguments and said he was helping to advise President Donald Trump on a new Justice Department, according to his followers.
Some of Mr. Hallett’s followers said in comments and on regular video calls that pedophiles in the Pentagon steal children. Some subscribed to QAnon, which claims a high-ranking whistleblower is exposing the activity. Some said the Earth is flat.
Ms. Petrie-Blanchard, who is now 34 years old, posted photos online in a QAnon shirt and claimed her own custody troubles were connected to dark government machinations. At one point, said a person close to her, she said Mr. Hallett might be Q—the shadowy figure whose online postings form the basis for the QAnon ideology.
For years, Ms. Petrie-Blanchard said, Mr. Hallett had been telling her that “any day now” a U.S. marshal would bring her back her oldest daughter, who is in the custody of her former boyfriend’s mother, even though there were no legal proceedings that could result in such an outcome.

Mother unraveled in depression, QAnon-style conspiracies in months before she killed 3 kids
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-04-17/mother-unraveled-in-depression-qanon-style-conspiracies-in-months-before-she-killed-3-kids
Liliana Carrillo’s unraveling over the last year alarmed people in her life.
On Facebook, she spoke of “random invasive feelings of despair and pain.” She said she was “hating being a parent” to her brood of young children and wished she could go back in time.
“I have absolutely no patience or tolerance left,” she added.
More recently, she began to echo the delusion of QAnon believers. She was consumed by the idea that Porterville, Calif., was the site of a child sex-trafficking ring, according to court records, and contended that the blame for the pandemic rested on her shoulders.
It was clear she was struggling with postpartum depression, with anger, with childhood trauma and with the frustrations of young motherhood, her boyfriend, the father of her children, recounted in court records.
Last month, the situation got gravely worse. She started making wild allegations of child abuse, according to court records. Social workers and police in two counties got involved. The children’s father, Erik Denton, convinced a judge to award him physical custody of their three children, saying Carrillo was experiencing a psychotic episode and he feared for the kids’ well-being.
But Joanna, 3; Terry, 2; and Sierra, 6 months, remained with Carrillo.
Last weekend, a day before Denton said Carrillo was to turn the children over to him, her mother discovered the three grandchildren dead in the Reseda apartment they shared. In an extraordinary television interview from a Bakersfield jail on Thursday, Carrillo confessed to killing the kids, saying she was trying to protect them from sex trafficking.
“I drowned them,” she said, claiming she did so “softly.” She added, “I hugged them and I kissed them and I was apologizing the whole time.”
