Black CNN reporter and crew arrested in MN riots, he goes on to call out Liberal (with a capital 'L') racism for what it is: more subversive and damaging than overt and obvious racism.

and the result: all the white Liberal voters who say "person of color", and "african american" tell him he better check himself. They have convinced themselves they don't see race, but still cross the street if they see a black man coming down the footpath.

Extremists from both sides stoking the fires. Trump's gotta step back and try to keep some calm, which is highly unlikely. Right now, mobilising military is more likely to end up with war on the streets :(

I feel like some of his tweets are stoking the fire, some very subtlely.
Like the ones about how they could get past the white house fence, and if they did they would be meet with vicious things.

Hes basically egging them on to try.

Trump's a narcissist who thrives in times of chaos. I don't know what to believe so I'll listen to the orange man and let him do whatever.

Trump wants the police to fear and mistrust citizens; he wants white people to fear and mistrust nonwhite people; he wants country people to fear and mistrust city people; he wants old people to fear and mistrust young people; he wants individuals to fear and mistrust groups; he wants ignorant people to fear and mistrust experts; he wants the public to fear and mistrust institutions.

Watching some of the actual people involved, a lot of them are still smiling and laughing with dozens of people holding up cell phones filming... Right now, this is still a spectacle to so many of them. They don't realise the REAL danger they face. To a lot of them, mainly 20-30 year olds, this is adrenaline, exhilaration, a connection to something that is bigger than them and a sense of danger.

The older people just seem tired and scared. They've seen it all before, and know where this could end up.

Agreed. If he holds true to form, then the risk of hundreds of deaths becomes very real. The terrifying thing is, that even if all of this plays out in a worst case scenario, he is still and most likely will still be the strongest candidate for four more years.

Ab 31st May 2020 19:45

Well, he's killed over 100,000 in the past couple of months already.

Trigga*happY 31st May 2020 20:00

So, what are we looking at then? Is the 99% so sick of the status quo, that they willingly albeit perhaps subconsciously, vote in a cancer to try and kill a corrupt system?

Nich 31st May 2020 20:10

That police agent provocateur makes me despair even more. On the back of such a deliberate murder in broad daylight, to entice a protest into a riot just so they can start swinging and cuffing without legal backlash. Now I wonder if they are flipping their own squad cars and setting them alight too?

Ajax 31st May 2020 20:27

Reminds me of the Rodney King riots of ‘92. Genuine protesters mixed with opportunists looking for an excuse to start burning and looting.

The Edge 31st May 2020 20:50

I wouldn't be so sure about Trump getting in again. November is still some way off - but if his handling of this and coronavirus is anything to go by, I would say his chances of winning another term are pretty slim.
Mind you, I did see some commentary saying if he didn't win in 2020, it's possible he would be the nominee in 2024 (although he would be getting on a bit by then - as would Biden).

The common theme for a lot of our problems is still "lack of trust" - whether its trusting leaders, trusting media, trusting richer/poorer people, or trusting people who are different to yourself [whether by skin color, language spoken, or political/gender/sexuality/etc preference]. We're still primal and tribal, even though we imagine ourselves to be civilized and past that.

It's probably not a stretch to say some groups of people are exploiting this for their own advantage, and it really depends where you sit as to who you suspect those groups of people are.

I think it's a bit much to say "Trump has killed 100 000" - would you also say "Jacinda has killed 22 people"?

random pallets of bricks appear in multiple cities amid the hotspots.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/...protest-cities

Someone either has a lot of money and enjoys the carnage, or this is some CIA contra bullshit again.

Cyberbob 1st June 2020 14:35

I'm amazed at the overwhelmingly unnecessarily and violent responses by police that have come as a result of the protest against overwhelmingly unnecessary and violent responses by police.


I'm sure the PD will investigate and find no wrong doing.

Nich 2nd June 2020 11:50

that, and the pallets of bricks at each protest,
http://foxbaltimore.com/news/city-in...r-monday-night

and ANTIFA agents giving cash to people to commit more vandalism,

and the juiced up police provoking protestors
https://twitter.com/greg_doucette/st...51520055459847


But those that can stop the vandalism do so at great risk to themselves. Like this group handing over to the police a rioter breaking up the footpath with a hammer

Trump activating military... Potential for tonight to be atrocious in Washington DC and elsewhere.

Nothing 2nd June 2020 14:16

Fuckin' LOL @ twitch as a source. But Jesus, shit gettin' real over there. TBH, seems like American government pretty much is fascist at this point. ANTIFA organising pallets of bricks seems justified. Biggest concern is that actually American civilians are not prepared for rollout of military, and will probably be a blood bath. :(

That's the myth of the Second Amendment in modern times. The small arms civilians possess will never compete with what a modern military can bring to bear.

I was immediately presented with advertising, such a lol from something titled "woke".

2nd US civil war incoming perhaps - there's a tonne of minority/POC/poor people in the US military. Scary times ahead.

Ab 2nd June 2020 19:14

This is absolutely nuts. Trump is literally declaring war on America so he can distract everyone from the fact that he allowed 100,000 people to die of communicable disease.

"Breonna Taylor and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, were in bed asleep when they heard a loud banging at the door.

They called out, asking who was there, but heard no response, their attorneys say.

Minutes later, Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT, lay dead on her hallway floor, shot at least eight times by plainclothes officers who had burst in to execute a "no-knock" search warrant at her home."
