Popular Post Morch Posted August 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2020 4 minutes ago, CorpusChristie said: They were powerless to stop them last night . They have also began firing guns at the police , is this normal or have the riots intensified from just civil disobedience to a civil war ? Guess that in your haste to make the "powerless" argument, you missed the part about arrests made. I know that for some law enforcement is about shooting bad people, but in real life, that's not how it works. As for "normal", criminals shooting at police isn't a new thing in the USA, don't know why you pretend otherwise. You loaded question is bogus. You've no clear indication about the connection, you're just assuming it. The "civil war" nonsense is hyperbole. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the same group , BLM, , or are you suggesting that the BLM looters last night have all been sat at home and not participating in other BLM protests/riots and they suddenly decided to get involved ? I suggest that you back up your claim that the BLM "organised" the looting. Or for that matter, that all looters are BLM activists. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several protesters held a banner that read, “Our futures have been looted from us ... loot back.” Ariel Atkins, an organizer, said the demonstration was put together as a response to the police-involved shooting Sunday in Englewood, where a 20-year-old man was injured after police said he fired shots at officers, and to support and seek the release of those who were arrested during the downtown looting that followed. “There’s no such thing as a bad protester,” Atkins said. “Also, (we’re) demanding that police be defunded. Police should not be here. They should not exist, especially because we’re giving them all this money to beat and terrorize us. We’re giving them all this money when it’s like we’re in an actual pandemic and people need care right now, but you’re giving them police. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-chicago-downtown-looting-black-lives-matter-protest-20200811-lvejnsexhbgtjfixcgioih7dn4-story.html 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To head off expected nonsense, I'm not defending the looters, or even the BLM's position.

She's incompetent - nothing unusual for a Democrat mayor; so she plays the race and feminine cards against fair criticism. She now, in the face of escalating black on black shootings, escalating looting and thieving, escalating vandalism and lawlessness can't support defunding the police. BLM are showing they aren't a group solely protesting police brutality against blacks. They twist and lie to suit their agenda, encouraging violently resisting arrest whilst thieving and looting and demanding the police by abolished. They want to create as much mayhem and disorder in society, as much divide as possible, chaos and lawlessness. And the the Marxist/Socialist/Radical left can fill the power void. Should that ever happen, watch them enforce control. They'll make the police look like social workers! She's now fallen foul of BLM by daring to criticize armed looters for shooting at police and criticizing looters for thieving luxury goods. And creepy old corrupt pervy Joe wants to praise BLM!

It is astonishing, is it not, that BLM slams a black mayor who has called the looting criminal and instead focuses on a single guy, four times convicted of crimes already, who shot at a police officer, of course raising the phantom fiction of persecution of blacks by police instead of the highly organised looting. Until you realise that indeed the BLM is a marxist organisation in cahoots with Antifa who actually want maximum mayhem, destruction, violence and chaos, in order to further their leftist agenda. Many in the world have woken up to the real nature of BLM, but of course the BLM frauds will continue to have many useful idiots supporting them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
