This makes no sense at all....worldwide experience and common sense shows us that the few in the crowd who want to turn the protest violent are just waiting for any sign of authority aggression to throw the first stone, everybody else just has to scramble to defend themselves from teargas and rubber bullets at that point.....
it blows my mind that the same people who don’t have a problem with white extremists running around with semi automatic weapons during demonstrations and running cars in to people (and who now want to defund the post office) All of a sudden really care about federal property being damaged.....
Claiming "the devil made me do it"  sounds a little too biblical.

These people did burn down and damage private businesses to the tune of a billion dollars if you add up all the cities where demonstrations and riots have occurred.  They also took over police headquarters someplace, driving the police out like ISIS did to the Iraqi army.  How embarrassing.  Then some cops got on their knees to beg forgiveness from the demonstrators.  Yikes.  I'm sure the citizens, black and white, felt a lot more protected in case they ever needed the police at home.  "John, dear, I think I hear someone creeping around in our yard.   Don't call the police.  Call the Army."

I don't think that if it was federal property, they would be deterred from burning it down if there was no protection.

Well you are obviously part of a club that i honestly don’t want anything to do with....if you don’t see systemic racism in this country i don’t know what to say.....i guess this wasn’t the American natives country to begin with either and slavery really “wasn’t that bad” and we have no problem with race here at all....
Again: you are living on a different planet, some alternate universe....i visit that place a few days a week now just to get a glimpse of the madness....fox.com....
I agree.  You can barely get a job in the NBA if you're white.

You need to get yourself out of the 1950s red scare mentality. It was all a hoax. China and Vietnam are full of capitalist factories making shit that you buy. Including the device you're using to read this.

At the risk of going off-topic though, one thing that's been confusing me for years is, if the US has by any measure the largest number of people in prisons than almost anywhere, how come you still have criminals loose on the streets? I mean, haven't you caught them all yet? How can you have so many? Crime in the US must be an awfully attractive career choice. Any stats anywhere on how many Americans earn their income illegally? Must be a lot more than other countries or you wouldn't have so many people in jails, seems to me. Am I missing something.

And after all that, how come you haven't even made a dent in the illegal drug trade yet? I ask about that specifically because it's usually brought up as an example of a sector that attracts lots of criminal participants. You've had several "law & order" Presidents, or at least Presidents who say they are for the length of the press conference at least, so what happened. Don't they mean it.


And there's another question that has me curious, and this is even more off-topic I guess. I'd like to see a Venn diagram-type intersection of anti-vaxxers and people who buy illegal drugs. Wouldn't it be just too ironic if a significant number of people who refuse to use pharmaceutical vaccines are perfectly comfortable buying their dope from drug cartels?

Biblical? It sounds like Flip Wilson to me.

COVID: We are poised to cross 170,000 today or tomorrow. Yesterday was 1221. We can’t seem to get under 1000/day. Maybe we aren’t trying hard enough. You think?

Yeh, but we sure had a bunch of young Americans jumping to Canada in droves to avoid going to Vietnam to fight those big bad commies. Many have remained and call Canada home with no inclinations of going back. Who would have thunk that?

I believe 40,000 draft dodgers crossed over to Canada and became immigrants.

I don't have any idea who or what you are talking about. The people I see protesting do not appear by word or deed to be Marxist revolutionaries. Perhaps the movement has outgrown its original organizers.

Nope, they still run the show.

The thing is the government put you in jail if you didn’t want to go, unless of course you could find a doctor you could pay to say you had bone spurs in you feet.

I think I read that the armed forces won’t take you if you have been hospitalized with COVID.

Apparently, because of the permanent damage the virus does to various parts of the body.

The army doesn't want casualties before they even get into combat. That's why they only draft or enlist healthy people to get killed.  ???

They are immune in the short term, but it is still uncertain whether even they suffer permanent effects to their organs which could manifest themselves later.

I know. I was referring to Trump’s earlier comments justifying reopening schools.

Young people are NOT IMMUNE. They are less likely to have serious sequelae, but they are NOT IMMUNE and can still spread covid. Christ on a crutch, where do people get such claptrap?

I can't believe you guys didn't know I was being sarcastic. I guess I'll just have to try harder to be more obvious.
