Way to sidestep my question. Here it is again since you have trouble reading, “Where do you draw the line as to what is acceptable and what is not”? You seem to be okay with the violence, looting, and rioting, so what is it? Is it okay for all protests to go this way, since you seem to not think the general public in a “civilized” society should be held to certain standards when protesting.oftenreading said:PJPOWER said:
So you ARE okay with the protests where half the crowd are carrying AR-15s? They seem to get quite a bit of attention too...It sounds like you are saying that you are okay with whatever gets public or media attention, however dangerous or disruptive, as long as it aligns with what YOU consider justified causes? Maybe I’m reading you wrong, and if so, where do you draw the line as to what is acceptable and what is not?oftenreading said:
Completely incorrect. The police are hired and paid to do a job and the public has the right to expect that every single one of them meets the standards of their profession and upholds the law. There is absolutely no such obligation on the general public, and what's more, the idea that there's a single "correct" way to protest is false and designed to limit the protests to actions that are bound to be ineffective.Ledbetterman10 said:
I think the protesters are a lot like the police. The majority are good. But the bad ones cause chaos and give the good ones a bad name. So similar to how there's a "correct" way to police, there's a "correct" way to protest. Marching with your Black Lives Matter sign? Correct. Destroying property or attacking people? Incorrect.oftenreading said:Predictably, but unfortunately, it seems a chunk of people have already moved on from a stance of seeing the protests as being a necessary and valid part of the process of change, to being irritated by disruption, impatient with discomfort and feeling a need to direct others as to the correct way to protest.
Is this post meant to be.... a joke? Sarcasm? I'm not sure.
In what situation does one read the a comment that there is not one single correct way to protest and respond with "So you ARE okay with the protests where half the crowd are carrying AR-15s?"? How did you make that leap, exactly?
Particularly interesting when read in light of our exchanges over the last several years in the gun violence threads, where I have been consistent in being anti-gun in essentially all circumstances, while you have been in favour of people being allowed to own and carry these very guns that you seem to be horrified about right now. Perhaps you're in favour of gun rights, except for protesters?Once again, where is the line?
And “horrified”? Not hardly. I think the people carrying AR-15s at protests are largely idiots and I would never do it, but I would never loot or destroy property either...because I think that is also idiotic.Post edited by PJPOWER on0 -

I'm am sure this idiot pair of white folks think that All Lives Matter.
Here is some of the fine behavior we see today in this country.
Also....I was rooting for oncoming traffic as the moron pointing the gun was stepping back behind the car.
It really is disgusting. You pull a gun and put one in the chamber, for THIS?
If she has a license it should be taken and if there is no crime here, there should be, but she would be fortunate to not face some sort of trouble.
Idiot!

"The cases of Klan-related violence became more isolated in the decades to come, though fragmented groups became aligned with neo-Nazi or other right-wing extremist organizations from the 1970s onward. In the early 1990s, the Klan was estimated to have between 6,000 and 10,000 active members, mostly in the Deep South"

Truthfully, everyone in this video exhibited pretty bad behavior. The white couple should have just walked away and left, and the black people should have probably just let them instead of threatening to beat their asses.F Me In The Brain said:I'm am sure this idiot pair of white folks think that All Lives Matter.

I read that the white woman was arrested, but freed because the black woman hit the car and was verbally threatening them.I’m just glad no one was actually hurt.Post edited by PJPOWER on0 -

I agree that in some ways, both were wrong and it bugs the hell out of me to see people acting this way. Strangers arguing that vociferously over something that minor? People need to get over themselves. But the woman pulling the gun on the other? That was WAY out of line. I'm surprised she got off for doing that.

I agree, and if she would have actually pulled the trigger, she would probably be in a heap of trouble. They should have just driven away from the get go.

You don't load a gun and point it at someone for hitting your car with their hands.
There is no excuse for it and making it about both parties glosses over the gravity of the situation.
One person can be wrong and can make a big deal out of something you don't think is a big deal. (What the white lady likely thought)
I will believe nothing that tries to justify loading a gun and pointing it at someone for this.
Truly awful behavior.
Yes, the mother and daughter behaved poorly, even if what they said happened, happened.
Doesn't even enter the same conversation as far as the level of danger and idiocy displayed by the two white folks.
That is if I'm being objective.
My subjective read, seeing how that piece of garbage woman had the nerve to lock and load on someone like this, is that my guess would be she started it and is a fearful and small person....the type who would shrink to pulling a gun and threatening death on someone for yelling at her and slapping her car.
The idea that the cops thought what she did was wrong and arrested her is a good thing.
That they let her out because of the yelling at her and slapping of the car is a joke.
No possible way that happens if she was black and the couple holding the camera was white.
No way.Post edited by F Me In The Brain onThe love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
Not to mention that one of the couples should have been “more responsible.” I’ll let everyone figure out for themselves who that should have been.F Me In The Brain said:

And the parties themselves did not flip flop positions no matter how bad you want to try to spin that. Because it is very inconvenient for the Democrat party's history. Shhhh!
There were a lot of Southern Democrats that converted to Republican and Republican values. But you cannot trade Andrew Jackson for Abe Lincoln and so on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, no way. Lincoln, Reagan, Trump are the same party.
Andrew Jackson, the Jim Crow South, Bill & Hillary Clinton, & Joe Biden are the same party.
The Republican values and Democratic Values have not changed.
And for the life of me, given the Democrats terrible history, and currently on their treatment of blacks and Indians, and the way the big cities are run these days all Democrats, I cannot for the life of me figure out how anyone with a clear conscience can still vote Democrat today. That is a question I will always have. Democrats are the racist Plantation minded people still! Not the conservative Republicans.

Where did I say the KKK had Repub origins? What are you even talking about? A couple of more questions for you and I guarantee you will ignore them. Who does the KKK vote with now? Who did they vote with in 1865? How can you say that the Republic values and Dem values have not changed after honestly answering those questions?RYME said:

Who on this board would have been in Little Rock trying to stop the Little Rock Nine from going to school? The libs! It was the liberals standing in their way, dropping N-bombs and the courageous whites willing to say "wait a second, are we sure segregation is good?" were the conservatives. Meanwhile liberals like Bull Connor and George Wallace where promoting segregation and looking the other way after liberals chased blacks down in rural Alabama and hung them from trees. It was the right that rose up and put a stop to it and continues to fight other libs all the way through known liberal Derek Chauvan. It was liberals, upset that Hilary Clinton lost that took tiki torches out in Charlottesville and chanted "you will not replace us!" A handful of liberals who beat the hell out of black folks (and killed one conservative white ally with his car). Now, to be fair, most liberals just drop N-bombs; it's just the extreme ones that participate in physical violence and I'm pretty sure they work for Bernie Sanders. Sure, it was Donald Trump that took out a full-page add about how the Central Park 5 were guilty, but don't forget, he was a Democrat then. Once he became a Republican, his soul became pure and he loved black people more than black people love black people. In fact, if any of today's Republicans don't love black people, it's because so many black people vote Democrat, which makes them unbearable racists.RYME said:

I would have voted for Dr. Ben Carson no problem!!
I don't vote for Donald Trump necessarily, I vote against the leftist ideology that wants to fundamentally transform the United States of America. And don't forget the left will eat their own eventually it has happened time and time again throughout history.0 -
Not glossing over anything, but both parties could have minimized the gravity of the situation by acting like adults. No one should have threatened to beat another’s ass and no one should have escalated to pulling a gun when it could have been easily avoided by just driving away, dumb behavior all around. I don’t believe this is a situation of racism, but instead a situation of idiots not being able to control their own behavior. At least the woman that brandished the firearm was able to maintain trigger safety and had a proper stance, unlike the one in the recent incident in the rich OK neighborhood. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it.F Me In The Brain said:

Here is some of the fine behavior we see today in this country.
Also....I was rooting for oncoming traffic as the moron pointing the gun was stepping back behind the car.
It really is disgusting. You pull a gun and put one in the chamber, for THIS?
If she has a license it should be taken and if there is no crime here, there should be, but she would be fortunate to not face some sort of trouble.
Idiot!

I read that the white woman was arrested, but freed because the black woman hit the car and was verbally threatening them.I’m just glad no one was actually hurt.
I agree that in some ways, both were wrong and it bugs the hell out of me to see people acting this way. Strangers arguing that vociferously over something that minor? People need to get over themselves. But the woman pulling the gun on the other? That was WAY out of line. I'm surprised she got off for doing that.
You don't load a gun and point it at someone for hitting your car with their hands.
There is no excuse for it and making it about both parties glosses over the gravity of the situation.
One person can be wrong and can make a big deal out of something you don't think is a big deal. (What the white lady likely thought)
I will believe nothing that tries to justify loading a gun and pointing it at someone for this.
Truly awful behavior.
Yes, the mother and daughter behaved poorly, even if what they said happened, happened.
Doesn't even enter the same conversation as far as the level of danger and idiocy displayed by the two white folks.
That is if I'm being objective.
My subjective read, seeing how that piece of garbage woman had the nerve to lock and load on someone like this, is that my guess would be she started it and is a fearful and small person....the type who would shrink to pulling a gun and threatening death on someone for yelling at her and slapping her car.
The idea that the cops thought what she did was wrong and arrested her is a good thing.
That they let her out because of the yelling at her and slapping of the car is a joke.
No possible way that happens if she was black and the couple holding the camera was white.
No way.

I dunno...both-sidesing stuff like this kind normalizes people pulling guns on anyone that pisses them off. I kinda miss the days when someone, right or wrong, would just scream “Asshole!” and nobody would be scarred for life.PJPOWER said:

How does pointing out both of their dumb behavior normalize anything? I miss the days where people could just ignore stupidity and go their own way (or did those days ever exist?) None of those idiots displayed behavior that should be normalized and both should be called out for being morons in my opinion.OnWis97 said:
