From the AP (1 June): World alarmed by violence in US; thousands march in London Donald Dork has called on the Armed Forces to defend Washington monuments and particularly one that he thinks belogs to him. Called the White House. And yet, his standing in the Gallup poll seem to be edging back up to the 50% level. (See here.) The country is split 50/50 over Donald Dork. Wow, what a lucky guy he is ... !
I thought this thread was about the world being alarmed but it is just another orange man bad thread. TDS is strong!
What the world is watching are liberals and blacks losing self control and rioting. Trust me, the world isn't seeing conservative and Trump supporters being violent, rioting, looting, burning buildings, destroying their own neighborhoods and pulling white people out of cars and beating them, that's you guys doing that.
Self control of what? How would you like to live at the income levels that the "lesser favored" in American must do? And the blacks are the least favored! Blind blah, blah, blah from the Rabid Right. The blacks are an impoverished people because of a lack of educational qualifications. If going to a post-secondary education did not cost so damn much in the US, then more blacks, Hispanics would have better jobs and a higher standard of living. But, no. You-plural think that they are all "lazy-buggers" so they deserve their poor lot-in-life ...
should the President not try to protect the monuments from the left wing terrorist? They already spray painted the WWII memorial and fire bombed a church by the White House....is he not suppose to try and keep that from happening to the rest of them?
We certainly have not progressed too much from the days of the Wild West, as evidenced by the fact that guns far outnumber people in our country.
Evidently you’re not familiar with the adage, never trust someone that prefaces their communication with “trust me”. It’s a red flag that elicits doubt.

Oh really? I've been on this forum for 5 years because of what you say above. I am not saying that disagreement must be disallowed. But I AM SAYING that the present lack of caution in the US is deadly today and will be more deadly tomorrow. I hope I am wrong and we shall see ...

Na, trump supporters (the majority of police in this instance) are just shooting at foreign media organizations, knocking down 70 year olds, dragging people out of their car, murdering people in the middle of the street, blinding people with less than lethal rounds, attacking peaceful protesters, destroying food and medical supplies...
I said the world is seeing blacks and liberals engaging in violence, riots, looting, arson and the beating of innocent white people. Do you deny that's happening?
The European and Far East prior-experience with Covid-19 has shown definitively that "lockdown" works best in strangling the spread of the disease. 350 million Yanks still have not accepted fully that notion. They are nationally condemning themselves to the deathly consequences - and the daily death-charts show that is what is happening ... PS: When it comes to Viral Infection it is best to learn from the experience of others - or assume the consequences. As regards this infection, the previous version of SARS (China, 2002/4) has shown that NOTHING could definitively kill it. In such a circumstance, "lockdown" is the best and only alternative.
No, down here, I can't get that image of Floyd being killed out of my head. There are protests even down here.
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES Europe and the the Far East (Japan, South Korea, etc.) have shown that as regards Covid-19 "lockdown" (meaning social-distancing) is the best and only precaution in the matter of Covid-19. Americans are demonstrating that they do NOT understand that fact, and do not want to undergo "lockdown", so the death-rate will indeed continue and it will be amongst the highest per-capita of any nation. Americans cannot say in this matter that they were not sufficiently warned by the previous experience of others. Stupid-is as stupid-does ...
This is so not grassroots. Who in their right mind would think people, in the far away cities of London and Paris in other countries, on another continent, would care about a man in Minnesota? To think that is totally absurd. This is 100% politically-driven, and synthetically organized. related thread here: George Floyd riots in London and Paris, some thoughts
Large scale immigration has not been helping matters, and it's not such a dissimilar situation going on in London and Paris now. Yes, it's hurt blacks more than any other group. This has been extensively covered in other threads in this forum.
That's if you believe the death tolls if you die and it's possible you could have covid-19 you're counted as one of the death so I'm not sure if the caution is merited.
See death-chart here: United States: What is the total number of confirmed deaths? (You will likely need to scroll down to see the chart.)
You think the center of our nation's government should just stand down and let a pack of rioting, looting, fire starting, cop killers just walk in and do whatever they please? And I love the way that article starts "Racism-tinged events" ya, the BLM riots are based in racism; the belief that being black entitles one to cause billions in property damage simply because a single criminal met an unfortunate end.
'An unfortunate end.' Jauzuz. What looks like a murder is merely an 'unfortunate end.' Heaven help the USA. Ya know, an Aussie politician, Mark Latham whom I loathe as he is an extreme right-wing idiot said in the last couple of days that the USA looks like, per million, it has the largest number of lunatics on this Planet.
Neck restraint maneuver approved for use by MPD officers by an all Democrat panel btw. BTW did you know that Floyd once committed a home invasion where he held a gun to the belly of a pregnant woman demanding she hand over her debt cards? For this scum you torch your country.
