The "govt agents" didn't pick up their rifle and go on a hunt, they were called by people pleading for help.
Lol..

Newsflash for you, buddy.. according to the highest law and order of our great land, cops aren't supposed to execute people even when they are criminals.

Can you verify any of that? Or fact checking of left conspiracies is forbidden?
Yeah, some right-wing Qanon fuck wants people to believe that 'fact checking of left conspiracies is forbidden.' I did my research, Sheeple.

OK, I'll go on record here and neutralize your argument. I hereby condemn the violence at what should be peaceful demonstrations. So there. You do know, don't you, that a lot of that violence is caused by outlier groups, many times agent provocateurs, people who have nothing to do with legitimate protest whatsoever.

My sincere thank you, I mean it

Well said! Thank you
Right-wing authoritarian liars come on here and spread FAKE NEWS that CITIES are HELD HOSTAGE.

Non right-wing authoritarians call them out for their bullshit FAKE NEWS.

You come on here, very concerned that libruuuuls seem to be defending people setting fire to people's businesses.

You come on here, and change someone's argument from "police shouldn't extrajudicially kill someone" to "police didn't grab rifles and go on a hunt", which is a strawman, champ.

So, you're right. Me calling you out on your strawman bullshit argument is well said.

Now carry on passing on FAKE NEWS because as a right-wing authoritarian, that's all you fucking got.

Thanks!

Read the philosophy proposed by Karl Marx, Lenin, Mao, you will thoroughly enjoy them too. Unless, of course, you already subscribe to their ideals.
The proposition that all men are created equal isn't Marxism.

Try to understand where the anger comes from.
That is nothing short of incredible! Talk about some righteous indignation... I don't think I've ever witnessed the like. Her last statement was so poignant. "You're lucky that all they want is equality and not revenge!" I like that she did a shout out to Trevor Noah. I always dig his videos, and he seems to have another almost daily. I posted my like of Noah in these forums and have yet to see someone second my feelings. Instead I saw complaints that he isn't funny, like he has an obligation to make them laugh because they associate him with Comedy Central. BullFuckin'Shit.

Please. The term fascism has been so overplayed its lost all meaning.

No it hasn't. That's your problem for dismissing the obvious in front of your face. Stop hand-waving away our foremost issue by singularly declaring it cliche because too many people are reminding you that it's real.

Perhaps you need to read these things as well, because you haven't. You trot them out as if you think they are verbal weapons, however. Thing is, you need to understand how to load that gun and where to point it before you try and pull it out of your pocket.

You're about to shoot yourself in the dick.

You mean the rioting, looting, and murdering committed by Trump operatives that is dishonestly blamed on "the left" to intentionally stoke racial fears?
Which is why I keep saying the organizers of these peaceful protests should stop continuing to have them after sunset. Don’t give the opportunity for these agitators to stomp over their message for BLM. And no, I don’t care that freedom of speech should happen any hour of the day. When their message gets hijacked, everything they are protesting gets lost.

What makes you think they have control over that?

Indirectly, yes, I have not seen anyone condemn it, however, I have seen several posts and videos and link that explain how its just a few...
Because it is just a few. The argument you are jumping into the middle of is not if the rioting and looting is justified, or even if the protests (which are different from the rioting and looting) is justified, the argument is if 'entire cities are being held hostage' and that simply is not true. The truth is that there are protests going on, and as always, a few people have taken advantage of that fact to riot and loot. The argument we are having is not about the justifications, it is about the size of the rioting. The size happens to be 'just a few'.

This plays out one of three ways:

Trump lawfully wins the election, upon which the left has the maturity and self control to accept the results.

Trump loses and nothing happens, upon which you will have the maturity to admit your misguided alarmism

Trump loses and refuses to leave office, upon which I was wrong and will gladly stand with you on the streets

Stand on the streets? What good will that do? If that happens the rioting you've seen will have been only a precursor to what's to follow.

The logical follow up to that is that they really have no one in control, which I think is basically correct. BLM really needs a strong national leadership structure to denounce violence and give some sort of order to the protests (as MLK did). Obviously it would not solve the rioting problem entirely, but it would at least partially invalidate the criticism from the right.

I agree it would help, it would also prevent mission creep. These protests remind me of some of the problems with Occupy Wall Street - while being totally decentralized makes it harder to criticize specific actions because nobody's in charge, it also means you have no control and in many ways no shared purpose.

They need to focus on one thing - ending police impunity. Save freeing Palestine for another day.

It's true. I can think of no sense of central leadership, although there's something to be said for that. There are spokespeople, but nobody stands out. John Lewis dying was unfortunate at this juncture. Anyway, barring another major incident (black American spectacularly murdered, and likely by police, without justification) I expect things to mellow out at least a little until after the election. What happens after Nov. 3, I don't know.

But let the people rise in violence, destroy everything, burn everything to ground and start the society all over again, that is any leftism.

Sure, go and tell that to the few parents who have lost their kids, or to a few small business owners who have lost everything.
