Come back to Reno. They just initiated a curfew because a bunch of hipsters tried to burn down city hall.first weekend they open up the bars too FML ha

We probably have less than 1000 black people here including my neighbor, Nita, who is in her 70’s and is scared shitless atm. She might be staying with me tonight since her kids live out of state.

My liberal friends are posting IG stories of themselves busting out cop cars and setting shit on fire. These are the same people that put up fuck trump stickers. Seriously feel like I’m losing my mind.

Crazy. At least the casinos open next week.

Trump will definitely win the black vote in November pussy liberal whites have no respect for black folks and think they support shit like hiding from a virus for months on end. No they won’t vote for Biden you idiots

It’s absolute insanity that these rioters couldn’t even pay for this stuff if they wanted to because everything has been closed 10 weeks due to a virus people under 50 have a 99.98% chance of surviving if they are healthy.

Fuck it I mean you can’t protest the house arrests because the media has changed the narrative to that being all fat gun nuts. Enough is enough.
 
This is bad. They keep doing this shit because they think they will get away with it and get free shit. People are going to die every day this goes on. It's a fucking tragedy.

Yeah it’s kinda ironic a lot of these people are protesting in cluster fucks but they also preach safety during quarantine. Definitely not just liberals doing this though, most people these days understand brutality is a thing and don’t fuck with it, but there’s also the racist side of the country who probably back some cops actions. Just had the big SLC news chopper fly over my house, my friend is at all the madness just watching it still so assuming they don’t have much grip on this legit curfew/lockdown thing. Still considering taking a bike ride on the back streets to check it out.
 
Wrote a political paragraph that I realize the internet probably doesn't need to see...

Maybe this is all because 70+ years of peaceful protests have only led to increased police brutality, and decreased accountability for their actions. Maybe it's payback for decades of public lynchings and aggressive racist actions. I don't condone arson, but FUCK COPS.

I can tell you are still upset because you were duped by the media for months that it was the plague. Like I said, people can choice to protest if they want because Covid’s not deadly for 99% of America. But I find it funny those same people who cried about the anti lock down protests are now encouraging/ actively protesting with thousands more than were at the anti Covid lockdown protests. I also find it funny that a large reason why these riots are so bad is because people such as yourself saw it as impossible to reopen the economy. Now you reap what you sow as all these angry frustrated people who are out of work burn down their towns. Maybe these riots wouldn’t be so bad If the employment rate wasn’t at 25%? But what do I know

1) maybe because they feel this is a greater threat to their health and future than some mysterious virus they've never encountered? Idk

2) it is interesting though as minorities have a disproportionately higher morbidity and mortality outcomes from covid. Interesting because these protests are likely to fuel a spike within those populations. Very vicious cycle.

3) low healthcare literacy- the average American has a healthcare literacy of a 7th grader.

Fuck the cops beat the shit out of these retards, it’s genuinely fucked they’re protesting against cops and doing this shit, can’t beat up a swat team so fuck up random people.

According to twitter (which is often wrong) the guys dead. But even if he's alive I find it hard to believe he did not suffer severe brain damage.

This is cool and all and super punk until you realize the people you call when you are laying in a bloody pulp like the video I posted above are the police/ first responders. So yea bro so hesh but everyone says fuck the cops until they roll up to the car accident you are in and block off traffic and allow the EMT's to save your life. But keep that same energy and make sure to never call them whenever you need them.

Probably shouldn’t chase after someone with a sword when a mob is on there side. Material possessions are not worth your life.

Two sides to every story. Thus the reason why social media outrage and twitter are misleading.
 
Glad to be in a small town in Idaho rn. Not going near a city anytime soon. For the first time I am ashamed of my country.
 
^guy who got beat up charged some kid with a sword for riding near his store on a skateboard. not gonna link the other angle it cause its pretty brutal but dude definitely wasn't just some innocent bystander

the looting is pretty shitty but I've seen a lot of videos of the police doing some pretty awful and unnecessary stuff to peaceful protesters over the past few days so I'm not exactly feeling very upset that this is happening

Yeah man, we all know you weren’t ashamed of this country when cops were killing innocent black people.

I could see it after watching that beat down, however if he was really chasing a kid with a sword for skating it’s kinda self caused, it is his business but tensions must be so fucked that he was so scared.

Wtf dude. I have said numerous times how unjust the murder of george floyd was. Gtfo with your shit. We fucking agree. Cops killing people is horrible. Maybe thats part of why Im ashamed of my country. You have no right to assume anything about my stance.
 
14145244:SnowshoeThompson said:
And yet history repeats itself. “Let’s destroy our entire city and hurt innocent people because a shitty cop killed a black man”

Absolutely no hope for humanity.

It's all the medias fault, they only show black victims. They always do this just to get more ad revenue. If this happened to a white person it would barely be mentioned in the daily news.

Yea for real, I was also really curious why the first 20 or so seconds of the video seemed to be cropped out. As stated above twitter is misleading. None the less the situation right now is very very bad.

You just said you were glad to be out of the city and said you were ashamed of the country. How am I not supposed to assume it’s about the protests/riots?

Proud of the responsible protesters, ashamed of the rioters acting like animals.

i was going to make a point about how useless donut munchers are compared to other first responders but it appears you already did, thanks.

and yeah, i'll definitely continue to avoid calling the police. if i got mugged or something i might file a report, but... "when seconds count, the police are minutes away"

Good god, on her own fucking property, no law forcing people inside their houses, obviously anyone would be fucked against them but is self defense not allowed there? Cause I’d love to chuck bricks out my window if that happened in my neighborhood, I hope she gets enough money for her grandkids to live off from that.
 
14145874:CLQ said:
They literally call themselves “armed rednecks”, god you’re a fucking idiot. Why don’t you watch the video or read the article before forming an opinion?


Of course I saw the video. What they called themselves doesn't change the fact they chose the picture that would stoke division, not unity.

You'll get me next time champ
 
Just had a friend who works in a restaurant in downtown Grand Rapids say the place was looted. Pisses me off since there was a large, peaceful, and productive protest this afternoon. Now that effort is lost in the minds of the media and the public.

Lol what a fucking reach, “they chose a picture that would stoke division.” Shut the fuck up, nothing about the picture is stoking division especially since it’s just a screen cap from the video.

Yeah dude. You're smarter than all the scientists because you guessed something out of being bored and pissed about not skiing. Let the news know, maybe they could run a story, fire some scientists and hire you.

Then we can stop hearing the same weird attempts at claims in every thread.

Fuck. Can't people go get friggin drunk in a bar like normal degenerates?

I was stoked to get a few drinks on the deck at the grid the other day. Felt human to sit down and order a burger and some cocktails.

Yeah u big mad. It's ok homie I'd still ski with ya.

Fox News is over the top in there media sensationalism by using a picture of the person they are talking about in the article!!

I don’t want to ski with you, I’m 100% sure you are shit.

Lmao @ thinking I'll defend one media outlet over the other when they all make their money via clicks from sensationalists.

Didn't you only ski 10 days this season? What's up with that man. Sounds like a real bummer tbh.
 
Have state or local governments commented on the multiple video and eyewitness reports of media becoming victims of non lethal deterrants? Lots of really disturbing videos of media and innocent bystanders being assaulted by police. You wanna disperse violent crowds? OK. You wanna arrest disorderly people? Fine. But shooting pepper balls, spraying fox 5.3, shooting rubber and wood bullets, and arresting media and nonviolent people during noncurfew hours is absolutely idiotic. Police departments are seriously digging themselves into holes they won't be able to get out of.

I'm not condoning the violence by people, but I also clearly have seen too many examples of police overstepping the line. Stressed? Sure, but if you can't control your emotions, you shouldn't be a cop.

I would imagine that in a riot situation it is difficult to determine who is and is not peaceful. And frankly if you are walking around a city late at night during a riot odds are you are part of it. Clearing the streets is about the only option.

Real question is how he did Harvard law and graduate from UCLA before he was 2021

I guess it's possible if he went into UCLA at 17 then went to Harvard the year he graduated

hmm idk about that. Here's a case study: Justine diamond was killed in similar circumstances. Southside Mpls. She was white and the cop who killed her was black. It was all over the news for months and officer was sentenced to 12.5 yrs in prison and city settled with her family for $20 mill.

Lol. In the actual video the guys say they are all for the protests and that police are less likely to be violent towards protestors when there are rednecks with guns. They also want to protect businesses but yeah
