UNDlaw80 Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 2 hours ago, UNDBIZ said: I keep seeing references to the Boston Tea Party. What were the "rioters" protesting when they destroyed the tea? A tax on tea. What does Target have to do with police brutality? What did the Boston Tea Party ultimately lead to? War. Is that what the current protesters want? This isn’t difficult. People want across-the-board equality. So it shouldn't be difficult understand why protesters are mainly millennials. This is America’s 1st true multicultural generation and the starting point of a future America that will be racially and culturally flipped upside down. I think many in the US are frightened of this. That said, although their demands are clear, their methods of protest are aimless. This is akin to a neglected kid throwing a temper tantrum after people routinely dismiss his cry for help. It's rooted in frustration. But that's basically the black experience in the US, not being listened to. This mass protest isn't some calculated means to an end, it's a symptom of a disease. As MLK said, “Rioting is the language of the unheard”. 1

I know Trump spoke with Putin today, but he needs to understand we’re not Russia. Sending police/military forces to ‘crush’ civilians isn’t what we do. That's not us. In fact that's the antithesis of traditional Republican values. So much so that if Trump isn't careful he's gonna inflame militant elements of his own party - against him. Timothy McVeigh types whose #1 fear is just what Trump is advocating. Those guys are another set of lunatics this country doesn’t need involved in things. Bull$#@! 3

planet2county Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 I think there are people disappointed with both parties that are not extremists or anarchists. They just want issues dealt with, without all the political grandstanding.and posturing. 4
SiouxBoys Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Would like to remind everybody that this is an election year. If you think that's just a coincidence, then you're an idiot. 1 3

I'd classify you as "weak" as would someone else as well. Now police officers are being targeted. 4 shot in St. Louis last night, one in Vegas (on life support) and 2 in VA. 2 more injured in Buffalo when a SUV plowed into them. Another run over in the Bronx. But you and UNDGrad06 can continue walking around the streets of your communities passing out hugs. 4

Oxbow6 Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Street Fair in Fargo cancelled but no issues with an estimated 5000 "protesting" downtown Saturday. #flattenthecurve 1

I don’t know how much harm he intended or whether he just figured I’m in a big truck they’ll move. Thankfully the protesters reacted quickly and most people got out of the way. Of course they weren’t coming to shake his hand. These protesters almost lost their life because of a careless idiot, that truck drivers lucky those protesters stayed peaceful and he’ll get jail to me instead of being dead. Do you know how long it takes to stop a semi traveling at highway speeds? The amended reports indicated he was on the highway legally and closing time was moved up to 5pm on short notice. I’m not sure how someone was supposed to know there were people massing on the interstate. He reportedly hit the horn and slowed down to 30 mph by the time he got to the crowd. He didn’t hit anyone and unless he states otherwise, nothing in the video indicated he was trying to injure anyone. You have no idea of what “he figured” nor his intentions. Let the authorities sort it out before we judge. 14

Let the authorities sort it out before we judge. Agreed. He did an excellent job of alerting with his horn while slowing down without losing control. If he would’ve panicked and pulled his emergency brake there could have been hundreds injured or dead. 1

I would not at all be surprised if we see a noticeable spike in 1-2 weeks. Yay..........I think that's on the minds of all of those upstanding citizens in your city looting and rioting. If a spike happens is it considered collateral damage???

So I give my position on one very specific situation on how to potentially not escalate the matter, thus keeping everyone (police, protester, and President) as safe as possible in that situation, and I am now giving out hugs in my community? Nowhere have I given my position one the protests, the violence that has sprung up around the protests, or the incident that has led to the current events. It seems as if nuance is not only dead, but it has been beaten to death by jumps in logic and painting with broad strokes.
