US Politics - A Society in Meltdown

That’s why he’s up all night tweeting. No bed to go to

We get that you’re against murder. Well done. So is everyone. Are you against extra-judicial violence from the police?

Your language itself is so revealing - “restrained” response, “thugs and anarchists”, “assassinated”

You’re not a bystander abroad interpreting events for us feckless fools at home - from my viewpoint you’re part of the huge problem now confronting the US

I occasionally wonder did she marry him for money?

I’m expressing my opinion, and you are entitled to yours. Why am I a problem? Because I am white? I work, pay taxes, have not broken the law, work with and respect people of all races, have volunteered extensively in schools and for various charities. How is that a problem exactly? Because I don’t agree with the narrative clowns in Ireland watching US TV channels buy into?

What would you call it when someone takes aim at a uniformed officer with a gun and shoots them dead, as happened with the killing in Oakland? I would call that assassinated, as in JFK was assassinated. My question is why this death is not being protested by BLM or discussed in the media, a valid conclusion is that particular black life did not matter because he wore a uniform.

The people throwing rocks through windows and looting are thugs, you can choose to call them what you want. What would you call them if they threw rocks through your windows and stole everything they felt like? There is no question there are agitators / anarchists like Antifa among the protesters, you’re not paying attention if you haven’t seen that.

You seem to think destroying property and looting is fair game, maybe if someone was destroying your house you would feel differently. Given the level of looting and destruction of property, the police have been very restrained. There is a strong argument to be made they should be far less restrained and go after the criminals involved much more aggressively.

I’d say Melania is completely miserable in that marriage. Her husband looking to turf out all immigrants and she one herself.

Would guess it’s like House of Cards and they barely speak to each other from one end of the day to the other. She’s wheeled out occasionally for the odd photo op. Separate bedrooms too, no doubt.

The only person I have a hard on for is my wife mate. This is what I mean about clowns drawing conclusions from video snippets. The protests in Seattle all weekend were quite violent, bottles and rocks being throw at police, a freeway shut down, lots of looting. The cops have a judgement call to make on when a protest is turning into a riot, and their job is to disperse the crowd before things get really ugly. Pepper spray and tear gas is pretty effective, would you prefer if they started shooting people?

You’re a problem because you’re racist.

Remember when we all defeated Isis when people put the French flag filter as their profile pictures.

Good times.

Ah, my bad, that was a riot brewing.

I suppose if you never have to wait until a riot happens to escalate the situation with violence - if you only have to make a “judgement call” as you say that it might happen - then it pretty much justifies any action. Handy.

Plenty of evidence of unprovoked attacks by police on peaceful protesters and journalists over the last few days. We should be grateful they weren’t shot. What a mindset.

That’s what they’re trained to do mate, it’s called crowd control.

Lads here think a police officer can walk into a massive riot and just ask the rioters to stop

Were you there to witness these peaceful protests? As I said another clown basing his opinions on TV footage. Maybe if you saw the state of the downtowns in Oakland and Sacramento you would have a different opinion, and they are by no means the worst.

Lads think it’s a human right to throw rocks and bottles at police, throw rocks through windows and loot. Very strange individuals.

The sheep protesting up in dublin are gas . When we want them to do something they wont . Pick and choose their battles , nothing to do with us here .

The beatings will continue until morale improves
