I struggle to imagine how the MAGAts in the US would react to a Brown man stabbing a white man to death. Either full-scale riots, or … something else.
Where on the riot scale would you say Tuesday’s protests were?
It is legitimate, however, to protest against police violence and incompetence.
Don’t know, I wasn’t there, and what clips I’ve seen have been of peaceful protests.
Agreed. I participated in the George Floyd protests, in a red town in a red county in a red state. Even got some lip from the haters.
What was the motive for the murder, anyway?
It seems just escalation from a chance encounter, with Digwa moving rapidly through the gears of unpleasant, threatening, shoving, and all the way to stabbing on the basis of very little provocation. He claimed to have taken a blow to the face but there was no swelling, bruising etc. so it’s pretty clear he was the aggressor. Also claimed he was provoked by racial slurs but the judge rejected that entirety.
If it were the other way, they might cheer.
On another board, not saying where, I am very outnumbered in opposing Trump. Any time something happens, they blame it on illegal immigrants.
Two or three years of so ago, there was a typhus outbreak in Las Angeles. I repeatedly pointed out that typhus is endemic in Las Angeles and in a few other places like South Texas. Nobody needed to bring it in. There’s a typhus outbreak in Las Angeles pretty much every year including, I think, a fairly large one this year.
Also, if it were brought in by illegal immigrants, there would also be an outbreak in San Diego, which there wasn’t. That didn’t matter at all to them – they had their inane talking points and stuck by them.
I’m really fed up with MAGA and will never again vote for anyone again who is tied to MAGA. While I never voted for Trump because I have never trusted him at all, I still voted for a few Republicans who didn’t seem too MAGA. Now, any MAGA is too much.
Yeah though I’m baffled at the public reaction to this though. Seriously who sees that and goes “that’s anti-white racism, by these white police officers.” rather than “thats coppers being b_stards, and it just happened this particular instance they were caught on camera being a b__stards to a white kid”. How can your reaction be “the cops need to be more racist to brown people” not “the cops should stop being b__stards”!?!
You’re expecting a logical response? Have you met people?
Baffled not necessarily surprised. Especially not with that human sh_t stain Farage putting his oar in with the worst possible take.
I’ve had some MAGA Scum bumper stickers printed up to stick on campaign signs. My nephew calls it misdemeanor anarchy.
