And if they choose to go in the direction of addressing black on black violence, good for them. But they can address issues they want. I think it’s a cop out to say they’re not addressing an issue your or I want them to.

That's fine. When things don't get better though because only part of the issue is focused on, I don't want to hear complaining.

BLM is not actually the only organization out there, despite what the media would like us to believe.

Good.

Law enforcement sources tell Fox News that Jason Charter was arrested at his residence Thursday morning, without incident, and charged with destruction of federal property. These sources add that Charter has connections to Antifa and was in a leadership role on the night of June 22 when a large group of protesters tried to pull down the statue.

I was told they aren't organized

If they're going to include even justified uses of force on violent and/or armed people in the marches and reading the names as examples of police brutality, which is often the case, just because it involves cop-African American, then one of the solutions has to be to clean up the areas where police have to be involved. I'm not talking about the karen's who've called cops for petty reasons, we're talking about teenagers being gunned down on the regular, and crime that affects innocent people. Again, if you're going to deem every interaction with police as racist and unnecessary, then the only solution is to lower the chances of them having to get involved.

So attempting to destroy a statue = arrested within 2 weeks. Entering a home and shooting an innocent person asleep in her bed = lose your job over a month later and no criminal charges.

This will be an interesting trend to follow.

The widespread support the ChiComs seem to enjoy in Africa is interesting, to say the least.

3/5 don't even know how to properly wear a mask yet think opening their bars is the safe and smart thing to do...

Well the organizer and his co-workers aren't able to attend because they are currently waiting for their COVID test results after an employee testing positive...

That's because of all the money the Chinese have been investing in African countries.

5,000 people - alot of 'em wear masks. Its all good.
5 people - 3 of them don't have their noses covered wtf?!

Postby **nocera** » Thu Jul 02, 2020 1:10 pm

Not a fan of irony? The most ironic part to me is the organizer having to close his bar and can't attend his own protest while he waits on his own COVID results. But, yeah, let's ignore all the data and pretend like bars are totally safe.

Postby **NailedPenguin** » Thu Jul 02, 2020 1:19 pm

We're all fans of score keeping. So what do you think the numbers are of people who "pretend" bars are TOTALLY safe compared to the people, politicians, and media that claim marches and protests are without a doubt 100% safe?

I think people are aware of risks involved with going out in public and for the most part have decided it might be worth it when the alternative is locked up in your homes which they'll soon lose because they have no money.

I don't blame workers and owners of bars for being pissed. It's their livelihood and the government has pretty much shut them down and not provided substantial assistance to help them keep things afloat until they open back up.

Postby **nocera** » Thu Jul 02, 2020 1:20 pm

According to the protest numbers, about 25 people think that.

Just to be clear, once again, everybody who gathers in a group should be wearing a mask (properly). And I'm with c2i, the government needs to provide assistance to these places that have been forced to close down for safety reasons.

This hasn't aged well:

This continues to be a huge issue, something unlike Covid, which I deal with almost daily.
