Popular Post candide Posted June 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2020 17 minutes ago, OZinPattaya said: - President Donald Trump, again accentuating racial tensions in America, Reuters. Once again, objective "journalism" at its finest. Love or hate Donald Trump, the absolute most infantile and pathetic thing about the Left is their utter disregard for even the pretense of journalistic integrity. As I've said before, can we get an article on this forum whose conclusion is not assumed in its title? That's how hopelessly insecure the left media is. Diffusing a video showing white people pointing guns at black protesters is surely a way to appease racial tensions (whatever the race of the person who receives it)....???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning down businesses, many of which are black-owned, looting and defacing monuments including those of abolitionists, I'd also also say probably not the best way to appease racial tension. And then combine that with rampant racial demagoguery among the "journalists"--a word that nowadays always has to be put in quotation marks--I'd also say probably not great for racial tensions. One instance of two people pointing a gun at whomever I'd think is the least of the factors spurring this race-baiting in America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If worried wait inside and have your escape/defense ready, not become confrontational out front and risk stirring people up. This was a "peaceful" protest because you, my friend, are living somewhere where you personally are unlikely to experience such a protest firsthand. You're reading this on a foreign forum in the comfort of, what, your SEA condominium? You arm-chair experts are laughable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVENKEEL Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 It occurred to me the reason many think its OK to trespass and vandalize property is that they have never owned a home. if you've been a renter your whole life why would you care if someone destroyed the house. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did this woman shoot her weapon? No, she did not. There is no story here. This is American left-wing media inventing a story where there is none in order to incite racial passions. They got what they wanted, which was a picture of a white person pointing a gun at a black person. The fact that nothing happened is beside the point. It's big news, regardless. Xenophobic, racist white nationalist threatens to fire upon peaceful black protestors. There's your headline.
