lol White people have rioted both when their teams won and lost sports games all throughout american history. Black people get upset over racism still existing heavy in america for hundreds of years. And somehow that becomes a bad thing.
I posted everyday on the other site a countdown on several accounts.
“You will be irrelevant in xx days”. Now these hate accounts are screaming into the void. They will eventually be irrelevant if we don’t engage.
I think most of us can agree that any protest that turns into a violent riot, destroying property and harming other people, those perpetrating should be held accountable.
I’m so sick and tired of this, “your violent, no your violent” bullshit. One side attacks voters with a machete, shoots up polling locations, murders capital police officers, burns mailboxes, has had three of their own people try to assassinate their own nominee.
If the left ever got that violent, it would be in self-defense. Extremism exercised in the name of justice for human beings is no vice however one who is moderate in the face of tyranny is a sinner.
Those folks in the photo were protesting the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police. As a Minnesotan, I should also add that the real violence did not start until 2 days after the murder and coincided with a massive number of out of state license plates in the neighborhood.
Those of us who live here will point out that the police precinct was burned by a right wing agitator and that many instances of violence were also found to have been committed by out of state right wing terrorists.
Exactly! Cop shop shot up and burned? Rightwing domestic terrorists. Cops killed in California? Rightwing domestic terrorists. Umbrella man busting windows in a business to start shit? Rightwing domestic terrorists.
💯 I didn't protest after dark, but watched a lot of tv coverage & noticed exactly what your link says - the protesters got noticeably whiter late in the evenings, right before violence would start.
Yep, exactly! Starting with the white guy who vandalized the auto parts store. They also never show the many peaceful protests AFTER the riots. Or how the neighborhood showed up with mops and buckets the next day. Or the resiliency of rebuilding. Or the ongoing anti-racism work here.
“Gunther Eagleman” was notorious for instantly blocking any meaningful resistance and any rebuttal that he ever got from anyone who had any disagreement with him. For such a self-proclaimed “patriot,” he was the biggest coward I have ever run across on Twitter.
There is a lot to be said how you handle yourself in defeat. Like this time when you teach the victor a lesson. What honour, dignity or whatever you want to call the good in us all, looks like still.
They loot, riot, destroy businesses, block highways, and harm communities, targeting Americans instead of addressing grievances with the government. This approach only deepens divisions and distracts from their concerns, George.
This country will burn to the ground, once again under Trump, and his legions will still blame all others. The Dump Truck masses are too indoctrinated at this point.
Humans just make the same historical mistakes over and over again it’s like they only have short-term memory and can’t remember the chaos Trump caused last time.
I think this is why they’re such sore winners. They were convinced that this would happen, so they were all ready and raring to go - but then nothing even close happened, and now they don’t know what to do with all of those big feelings.
Not a word how dignified President Biden was with Trump in White House all the abuse he got and he was a perfect gentleman funny how Maga bigot's ignore that
It’s why they’re still so angry. They didn’t get the bloodshed they were promised.
Now to add insult to injury social media programs like Bluesky won’t give them a platform.
Almost like karma is actually a thing….
These juvenile males really don't GET it, do they? It's like they are emotionally stunted or their brains are broke. None of them grasp that in every previous generation, they were basically cannon fodder. Grow up.
That's actually a positive way to spin it. Bluesky really is the opposite of Twitter, where they could take a picture of a baby owl and spin it into a negative.

Nobody rioting here.

One of our strengths and weaknesses is we are not violent.
They conveniently ignore that.

That was Trump’s America.

Yes, I call them that. They are.

Some were probably cops, just like in the '60s.

You and I are not the same, Gunther
We are not our enemy, and never will be.
Gunther lives in an alternate reality.
Gunther needs to stay on X with his pack.
Got to love men like that 🇺🇸🤘🏻
We are not the same.

Don’t call on demons and wonder why you can’t get away from demons.
Oh wait, this was Jan 6th. My bad.

Ditto from cat 💩 !
This is when they start indiscriminately demanding to see our papers, or our friends are loaded into boxcars
The ACTUAL troubles were caused by out of towners, taking advantage, on a weekend.
We wanted Precinct 3 cops, we burned their building (and not the things literally across the alley).
17 arsonists were jailed, 15 were apolitical, 2 were in the far right group, 0 belonged to a leftist group.
These photos show how the right acted under Trump.
Why give it any attention ?
Here's anti-Trump violence in Portland, OR after Trump's 2016 victory.
