    Have they been found guilty yet? What if they are found innocent, what about Biden and Harris declaring their guilty by cheering the arrest as some form of justice for Floyd and then the verdict comes in not guilty?

    They facilitate the violence and support it and aid in initiating it with their attacks on the Police and at this point we can no longer separate the two in these towns that are burning, they are Antifa and so are the anarchists. White supremist aren't going into these towns and dragging people into the streets forcing them to engage in violence so we need a federal FBI and DHS task force to put an end to it and arrest the leaders.

    Insurance is free though!!!! That’s what the rioters tell us. If you just let them pay for it, you’re not losing anything. You know who says that? Ignorant dumbasses who have no right to protest anything because they’re too ****ing stupid. No wonder they’re unemployed and wasting everyone’s time. Societal leeches.

    It's the job of the local law enforcement and prosecutors and mayor and governor. Again would you have supported Trump sending in federal marshals and troops? As I recall you supported Portland where the anarchist were attacking federal buildings and opposed any talk by Trump to sending in troops and in fact saying it would make matters worse, am I wrong in that?

    You don't think there was enough evidence to charge? That is all that has happened.

    Personally I think officer Lane was an overcharge given his recorded concern and efforts to change what was happening. His charges will be dropped.

    Is there any outside influence that could make you riot, loot and burn buildings to the ground? If you really think liberals can be influenced into doing those things then you have a low regard for liberals.

    The boogaloos and other criminals were initiating the looting and burning.

    I think the charges were premature and overcharges. I think they will be enough reasonable doubt presented to by the defense to at the least get a hung jury if not not guilty verdicts.

    It seems to me that insurance companies starting tinkering with that after 9/11 because it used to be in the blanket exception for terrorism, acts of god, etc.

    Does the POTUS generally get involved in murder cases and make judgement prior to the trial? I know that Obama did that so I guess I've answered my own question. I guess Trump should have said that people shouldn't do PCP or be involved with counterfeit money.

    Since the accused have been arrested, I guess Trump did his job. Is that what you are saying?

    What a mess. Hopefully you can find a way forward without further aggravating both sides (and even higher bills)

    George Floyd overdosed on fentanyl well before those cops laid him on the ground. Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd was simply :deadhorse:

    Homeowners and renters, when that cost goes up so will your Homeowners insurance, renters your rent will jump to pay for the property owners added cost.

    He's been asked that multiple times now. He has yet to prove his claim. So I hope you're not holding your breath.

    Expect prices to rise on insurance, and be passed along to consumers.

    Not downtown consumers because those places will probably relocate.

    $2 billion.

    There's your reparations right there.

    That's $2 billion that could've been invested in the black community, but, instead, it'll be spent repairing what you destroyed when you threw your big temper tantrum
