Psimbo Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Getting back to the actual topic I am watching the Press Conference at the moment. The Governor was spitting feathers, followed by the (black- but that's immaterial) Attorney General and the National Guard general is on now. They all come across extremely well, unlike the idiot going on about shooting looters. If the Gov ran for President at the moment he'd wipe the floor with others IMHO. Gov was specifically angry about the treatment of the media team. As an aside what is with the signers- I'm sure they make it up half the time. This one could win a gurning competition (the photo is from a different press conference). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post torturedsole Posted May 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2020 Quote When the looting starts, the shooting starts I don't have a problem with this statement. Law and order must prevail and business owners not left to the mercy of the dregs of society. Protests are certainly in order, but outright lawlessness isn't tolerable. I note that many MN businesses have their own heavily-armed vigilante guardians. I wish we had similar laws in the UK. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certain elements of US society that try to use "protester", "rioter" and "protester" interchangeably. Or at the very least, they try to blur the line. Most of us who simply call things and people what they are simply want the facts. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump literally has nothing to do with it. The old ‘I take no responsibility at all’ joker in the pack. He never had anything to do with armed protestors storming State Capital buildings, or armed Nazis marching in US streets but in both instances he had something to say about ‘good people’. The arrest of news crews and the attack on the First Amendment is of national importance. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps law and order broke down when a police officer killed a man in custody who was clearly no threat and did so with impunity in front of a camera. 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
