George Floyd and the Ensuing Protests

[Walrus]

No matter what happens in the trial, you can be certain the BLM/Antifa folks will do their thing, and the media will support it.

[Sparko]

Walrus is right. They’ll do nothing and the media will support them. Damned law and order. MAGA folks would have built a gallows out by the Ox Bow

You have any comment on the man arrested for a joint and found dead in custody shortly thereafter?

[Walrus]

Far more people died from Antifa/BLM than from MAGA.

[ousdahl]

at least I got a response?

[ousdahl]

A bad day for him.

[ousdahl]

I wonder if we’ll learn the cops bought him Burger King on the way downtown.

Hey pal, howsabout a whopper to turn that frown upside down.

It's all good as long as systemic racism isn't involved.

Jacob Blake sues Kenosha officer who shot him in the back

[ousdahl]

oh, and RIP Marvin Scott III.

Arrested and jailed in Texas for one joint, later found dead in custody.

7 officers placed on administrative leave pending investigation.

7 officers fired. 8th resigned while being investigated.

An independent autopsy found Scott’s death was likely caused by restraint and asphyxiation
