Do you think that’s true of everyone involved? Everyone was thieving and looting?
Also, what makes you more mad, a cop choking a man to death or people destroying property? Just curious what you’ve been more vocal about.
That's a F'd up question - If me & my family's business is being burned/destroyed/looted because of something we had no control over...should we say Fvck it - its worth it for the greater cause? You are messed up...
Please show me where I said that? I’m just asking which you’re more mad about, a person being murdered or property being destroyed. I don’t condone either, but I know which one I think is worse.
Obviously - Nobody wants to see anybody die. But does that condone thugs burning/looting/stealing? I guess your question is murder worse than losing everything you and your family worked their whole life for - murder is worse. Just seemed like a weird question.
I hate the looting. I think what the Atlanta mayor said earlier was spot on. But also, I see a lot of people being more outspoken about the destruction of property than this man being murdered. And to me that just shows what they care more about.
If you were equally vocal about how horrible it was that this cop choked a man to death, then I apologize. But it seems like a lot of people only spoke up when people started looting.
The loss of life is always a horrible horrible thing and of course it angered me.. that absolutely does not give anybody the right to destroy, loot,,steal anyone’s personal property.. 99 percent of their damage has been done to innocent people.. again they would have a bad problem if they came near my house ... upset or not I would be dropping them one by one as they came into my yard
Without a doubt the looters definitely detract from the issue and divide people’s sympathy.
FYI - 99.9% of all people condemned the G. Floyd death before the thugs / looters / thieves came out...who started speaking up only after the the thieves started looting?
If the same people who are speaking out now are the same people who were speaking out then, I’d be pleasantly surprised. I have no problem with people who were vocal about both issues.
WTH are you saying? Everybody was speaking out about the absolutely tragedy that happened as we heard about it..but then these thieves and looters and thugs took over the news and absolutely drowned out the cries for mr ..Floyd.. they are now a wild mob that needs to be put down
Thank you for proving my point @Bamahawgfan after looking at your profile, I see that you haven’t posted anything on the subject until you decided to chime in on the looting. Again, since you seem to not grasp the point, it’s that you are more motivated to say something in response to destruction of property (which I reiterate, I do not agree with) than you are the murder of this man who was detained by police while in handcuffs.

If you've not argued with Hoggy before, it's a fruitless endeavor.
@DuckTalesLOL @nikkichavanelle
Can either of you tell me why my notifications are showing my post is being quoted when it’s actually @DuckTalesLOL that is posting?
Seems really weird.

So you’re saying every time I post something, it gives you a notification? If you’re getting messages that “soandso quoted your post” but then it just takes you to one of my posts, yeah that’s strange.

Yes. It’ll show that(example)Dirkpiggler quoted my post, but then once I click on it, it shows that Dirk actually quoted Ducktales post. It’s like I’m getting shadow banned. Lol.
So because he didnt make a post apologizing for/ decrying Floyds death, he is to not make a post about the riots, else hes a racist. What a joke
Worst post in this thread. Hilarious. By your own brilliant rationale, you don't care about the thousands of people that have died from Covid-19 because you haven't posted about it in here.
See how dumb that is?

I’m not as mad about them, they placed themselves in a contentious situation and risk comes from that. Mr. Floyd did no such thing. All killings are deplorable but shades of grey are real.
Correct headline: "Trump threatens to designate anyone who is opposed to fascism a terrorist"
Like seriously people, "anti-fa" means anti-facists, there is no organized group or leadership.
This will absolutely make zero difference.
When will the KKK be labeled a terrorist group?

Honest question? Are you taking up for Antifa or just hating on trump. I mean antifa may stand for something in its name but it’s actions are ridiculous. Now as far as KKK I don’t care what you label it as honestly. I have no love for it either.
I don’t, I’m just saying this is going to accomplish nothing. He’s just wasting everyone’s time and trying to use buzzwords like “antifa” to fire up his base.
Antifa isn’t an organization , there’s nothing to classify here. It’s all bluster.
Maybe come out and address the nation and help ease everyone’s mind instead of threatening people on Twitter.

I have no issue with labeling domestic terrorist organizations as such, but I don’t know if he has the authority to do it and I feel antifa is too amorphous for it.
Obama gets a lot of criticism from the right on being divisive on race issues — “if I had a son...” or “cool clock [kid who didn’t actually build it but happened to be brown].” Trump is exceptionally divisive right now. He’s turned this into a R versus D issue with comments on Minnesota’s governor, and now is distracting from more pressing matters with a tweet to do something he probably can’t against people that politically oppose him.
He’s pushing the middle away. All he needs to do is shut the fück up on twitter. But he can’t.
It’s cool I was just trying to see where you were coming from. I won’t try to change your mind in trump. That’s your right and I have no problem with you not like anyone. I just don’t think a group of people that come out and use violence to shut down those with opposing ideas really deserve my defending them. I feel the same way with groups like the KKK, neo nazis, and Black Panther party.
I agree with he should shut up. He’s not going to though.
Why should he though he has freedoms as well... he is constantly attacked by “leaders” on social media with no chance at being held accountable for it
We are also seeing the face of the current Republican Party, which is very sad. I voted for McCain and Romney but the trash running the GOP now are losers.
