Watching a white woman being told to kneel and apologize for her “white privilege”, and then actually complying, is absolutely disgusting. Tucker destroys the narrative of racist police murdering members of the black community. Sad thing is, even though it is truth he is speaking, the ones who need to hear it won’t.

It should be people can think for themselves and form opinions and not blindly follow either party, or wherever they get their news. Got in a twitter beef today defending the right of Cotton and the Times to run his op-ed, got blasted as wanting to call the kill people and advocating fro violence. 99% of folks today cannot take to heart" might not like what ya say, but will defend to the death your right to say it" Seems to have quited down once i posted the ACLU officail position on free speech and first amendment rights.. and how the civil rights movement was crushed when speech was suppresed in the 60's... 1 1
Deranged Rhino Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Correct. Again, when you lead with something ridiculous and dangerous as your number one goal -- you diminish the weight of the entire movement. 3

Neither does the secretary of defense. With good reason. 6 minutes ago, Buffalo Bills Fan said: Wow Democrats are crazy. We need the police to help us all out. Meanwhile the Trumpers who want to send in the marines are perfectly rational.

Magox Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I can't think of a time to where I feel this level of antipathy towards the left as I do right now. They are both intellectually and morally bankrupt. There is a complete white washing of everything that is happening and a complicit media to help them achieve this. All the way from the health experts, to institutionalists, to the media, the politicians and the youth. You truly cannot have an opinion and state facts that counter the mob's view. If you do, you'll be derided, ostracized and ratioed. It's not even enough to be oppose some of these views, your silence is now considered complicit. I have a pretty well-rounded group of contacts via social media and what I'm seeing now is jarring. It's outright Orwellian. I've been saying it over the past few days, and it's not an exaggeration. This is a societal condition that is destructive to the identity of a free and open society. When you silence free speech via mob rule tactics, that is a scary thing. 8 2 1 1
Motorin' Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 45 minutes ago, Deranged Rhino said: It's very hard to take a list of goals and agendas seriously when the number one item is to defund the police. That would solve nothing, in fact, it would make all the problems they claim to be up in arms about much, much, much worse. Which begs the question -- what's the actual agenda? Social reform or revolution? Those are not synonymous, despite the catchy chants. There are two main asks. Federal Legislation that sets a minimum standard for the use of lethal force and lifting removing qualified immunity, and an the establishment of an outside review board to investigate police criminality in order to remove the inherent conflict of interest within the DA's office. Of course defunding the police will never happen. It's like asking for a million when WGA minimum would be a win. 1

I don't disagree -- but the fact is that "defunding the police" is the rallying call (from what I've seen on the streets of the protests in my own city, LA). Which just makes it impossible to take the rest seriously, no matter how well intentioned it is.
Magox Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I'm old enough to remember when they staged a counter protest to the protesters who wanted to get back to work. Like I said, bankrupt. 2 1
