    Vocal minority my friend.   When innocent people who own shops are getting looted and attacked for no reason at all... they will vote for whoever will *claim* to get rid of the evil bad men on the street.  

    You don't think the previous riots pre-Trump didn't impact peoples votes?    Innocent working people do not want to put up with stupid bull **** like this.  They'll vote for whoever will protect them and will rid the **** from the street. 

    I agree with the other poster... BLM should be targeting these idiots because it's absolutely going to kill the cause and get Trump re-elected.   Smart peaceful protests along with Biden trying to do his best to be a person of the people would obliterate Trump come election time. 

    I don't think everyone who votes for Trump is automatically a racist person,  his weirdo MAGA red hat Southern fans are also a minority.   The majority of people who vote are working class white Americans who don't go online or in person to protests.... they vote in silent and they'll vote for whoever puts a stop to these people attacking their livelihoods. 

     

    Sorry. Black people don’t have to carry the burden of being black, being targets, being victims AND having to police the white supremacists and idiots they are trying to create chaos.  Black lives matter is about their treatment not this other stuff.  People who see this and say “see, black people run amok” are missing the point and giving oxygen to their own subtle racism.   To say the black folks have to speak out is akin to telling them they should know their role and shut up in the first place.  I just don’t agree.  Enough is enough with this.  I know you’re not a bad guy. It’s just a disagreement here.   We need to embrace and support without any “but....”.

    The black kid who looted and tried stealing from his livelihood?   Reminds me of the LA riots years ago when the Asian store owners had guns and killed black people trying to loot from them.    I don't think any of this is right... but you know I never was chased and stabbed by a sword or shot and killed by acting like a normal adult.  

    Play stupid games win stupid prizes.   

    I don’t know, was the kid looting his store?  Video and accounts seem to indicate the kid was skating by and the store owner was nowhere near his store and swinging a sword.

    If there was a riot of hundreds outside my house and I was alone I’m pretty sure my brain would tell me it’s not worth standing outside with a sword.  I wouldn’t deserve a beating but I’d be pretty stupid to think I’d fend of an angry mob.  
     

    let’s not bog down on the White supremacists, professional agitators and general miserable pricks taking advantage of legitimate protests.  It sucks but it’s a distraction.  And the root cause is not people running amok, it’s a populace that is hitting the breaking point and tired of not being heard and disgusted at the rise of everyday white supremacy and bigotry spurred on by a gutless president.

    This is about as ugly as it gets, 10+ young males attack a man defending his business with a skateboard .  There is no rational explanation for this behaviour, the people involved are no better than the cop that committed the original crime .  Time for Trump to announce a Natl. curfew and bring the army in to take control of the hot spots.  

     

    The ugly part might have been when he tried to kill a black kid with a sword.  Not condoning a beat down but there was more to the story.

    Of late - Charles Adler has become downright respectable.  

    I believe he endorsed JT.  His change was similar to mine in becoming disillusioned with a conservative movement that was prejudiced and stuck in the 30’s.  I didn’t vote for JT because it was a non starter for me there.  But it was the first time for a long time I didn’t vote for the federal cons.

    And it's ridiculous **** like this that will get Trump elected again.  White people will get scared,  Trump will spew bull **** about making America great again (i.e. Safe to walk the streets),   he will get voted again.   People will be stunned on how he wins and it will go back to stupid **** like this again.    

    If only these animals would realize how far back this sets the cause by acting like savages.  

    You will never win by acting like this..... 

    Doubtful.  This isn’t white vs black. There are far more non-whites fully embracing BLM right now.  Trump doesn’t gain. Everyone who is racist and gross was voting for him anyway.  This will embolden everyone else to take more seriously the need to remove him from office.   I expect more protests either in the short term or around Election Day at the White House. The populace is outraged. 
     

    in other news, assuming there cops are incredibly stupid, you’d think one simple order from commanders would be “don’t shoot the media”.  I wonder where they got the idea the media is the enemy.

    These people represent no cause, they're in it for the destruction, violence and looting, they do not represent the B.L.M. movement, nor are they white supremacists or professional agitators spurred on by Trump, they are nothing more than hoodlums.  In fact representatives of B.L.M. should step forward and denounce these activities so they can distance themselves from this destruction and theft.

     

     

    In fact many are white supremacists. I’m confused by your posts, I can’t tell if you’re more outraged at the protests than what they’re protesting.

    Poor Trump none of the members of the G7 listen to his order to meet in person so now Trump calls them outdated , not representing what's going on in the world  today and wants new members, maybe he should have a look and see what his country represents .

    He wants new members of the G7?  Someone should explain to him what the G7 represents. Lol 

    Just imagine what happens when he loses.  Nov to Jan will be all about empowering Russia and tearing down the US.   And I bet if the Dems take the senate it will be a VERY active lame duck congress trying to ram through a ton of insane crap.

    You cannot be surprised by any of this. 

     

    The Whitehoods have gained control of gov't and and tearing everything down.

     

    Where's our resident Whitehoods to Trumpsplain everything to us?

    Wisely staying out of this.  Waiting for something they can say “yeah but the grand wizards economic plan is dope”.

    If the Democrats take the senate and retain the house... yeah change will come. 

    I don’t know if people understand what will happen if the Dems control the Whitehouse and both houses of Congress.   It will be very serious, very fantastic change. It will also likely be a very big day of reckoning for Trump and this GOP.  But once they turn the page on the very dark chapter of American history, man....the good they can do will be extraordinary.

    That is true but misleading.

    The population of the USA is comprised of (as of 2016) 61.27% of White people, 17.79% of Latinos, and 13.31% Black people. So yeah, there should be more White people shot by cops. The ratio should be roughly 6:1 - it isn't. It's closer to 2:1. 

    In 2017, 457 White people, 223 Black people and 179 Hispanic people were shot and killed by police officers. That does not reflect the  61.27%/13.31%/17.79% ratio at all... there is a HUGE discrepancy in police shootings.... 

     

    And yeah that is true- most people are swallowing the narrative that it is Anti Fa and angry leftist that are starting these riots.... that aint the case, no matter how much Barr is not willing to accept the truth that it is actually white nationalists being subverted by russian propaganda. I wish I was being sarcastic- but I'm not.

     

    Funny what a little knowledge can do. Thank you for that.  I’d like to see stats on unprovoked or unnecessary killings by cop per race as well.  Bet whites are doing ok.

    Disagree. Trump brought this out with his rhetoric the past 4 years. He's as much to blame as the rioters doing damage. 

    I think o mentioned this already but just to reiterate. I heard a guy on cnn make a point that you don’t defeat racism. It just hides waiting for oxygen.  And trump has been that oxygen. There is no doubt about that.   Although I think he’s pretty stupid so it’s possible it’s other people in his admin that give him the white supremacy dog whistles to tweet.  
     

    this is what I mean by saying no one says “hey look I don’t agree with the grand wizard of the KKK but let’s listen to his economic plan”.  That’s trump. Red line time.  You stand with trump you’re a racist.  It’s okay to be a conservative. It if you were a real non-racist conservative you’d hate trunk because he’s destroying the Republican Party.

    Brodbeck has been a right-wing troll for a long time, so this is heresy for him.

    I know! I had to read it thrice to see if there was an angle. But he seems to be pretty wise when it comes to the pandemic and supportive of the efforts required to ensure it didn’t get out of control.

    To be clear, I am not defending Trump, I am the last guy who would do that. But most of this is not on Trump, it is a long - standing U.S. issue.  Let’s not forget the riots in St. Louis - during Obama’s tenure. Blaming a president is an oversimplification of a deeply rooted and complex issue. 

    True. But there is little doubt race relations have only gotten more tense under his presidency. A lot of racists would keep to their own but now feel it’s a legitimate viewpoint because of trump.  He’s made the US far more divided.
