That particular Twitter post and hundreds of other calls for violence have gone unflagged. ____'s gettin' weird, yo.

- Doc
Is the author of the Twitter post actually glorifying violence? He simply seems to be linking to a news item in which someone else makes a threat, a threat, moreover, of which the poster appears to disapprove.

Trump, on the other hand, suggested in his tweet with evident pleasure that he, as President, would ensure that looters would be shot.

Is that the same thing? Have I misunderstood?

Before ajax jumps in with his subtle "see how these monkeys act violently" remarks, it should be noted that there is a video clip going around showing a white man dressed up in full gear walking around breaking glass windows and writing graffiti. He was approached by a few black people to ask him why he was doing it and he became aggressive towards them and threatened to fight one of them. Does that sound like someone protesting injustice towards African Americans? FOX News is already going on with their usual, "how does it benefit their cause to burn down their own community" while shaking their heads.

Just remember that when black people tried to peacefully protest these same injustices by kneeling, these same people had conniption fits for months and Trump called them son of a bitches for disrespecting the anthem. He's more worried about the feelings of a musical piece than he is of millions of citizens.

Jimmy Dore says this guy is probably a cop sent to give an excuse for a crack down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cOgPt3kRUQ

I guess Minnesota will need to elect a Democrat governor and Minneapolis a Democrat mayor and vote for a Democrat presidential candidate to root out this institutional racism that the Republican party of Minnesota is responsible for. But yeah, violence, looting, and pillaging is what needs to happen right now. According to the Constitution, violent protest is justified and should come before any jury trial. Minnesota, being a southern red state along the Mexican border is a part of the old confederacy with a long history of promoting segregation and racial injustice. It needs to be burnt down along with the rest of the country. Oh and we also need to raise taxes to provide sufficient welfare subsidies to rebuild the community.

I hope these protesters are following the appropriate social distancing guidelines. Anyone within six feet of each other has blood on their hands. Oh sorry, that's just our view o white optometrists going to work and trying to make a living not vigilante justice mobs destroying their community's infrastructure.

We all know the biggest threat of these burning buildings in Minnesota and in urban areas around the country is climate change. Thankfully Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's green new deal has some great suggestions for practicing eco friendly burning, looting, and vigilante justice.

What can any Liberals on this board say, Ajax, to make you feel like we have common ground?

Our racist president Trump incited the looters, vandals, and SJWs, in Ferguson, MO, Baltimore, Charlotte, and Baton Rouge back in 2014 as well.

We need to be more environmentally conscience in this. Get rid of the plastic straws and save the whales!

Talk of balkanization is making the rounds on 4chan right now. This falls right in line with the Russian foreign policy objectives for the US. I was telling my wife this morning if I were President I’d be in MN right now, I’d have the FBI arrest the four officers involved in the killing, they’d be charged, and I’d tell the Governor to get reps from the state, city, and affected communities into a room, with me, until we hammer out some changes we all could immediately implement. Instead, we have a rapist fomenting civil war.

Yeesh.

Look how much better this played out in Ferguson under Obama and Eric Holder. It''ll be a good opportunity for young mom's to get some free bread, milk, and shoes just as we did in the days of Rodney King back in Los Angeles.

This should all help us to get the necessary hospital beds and equipment to be prepared for the next Covid wave.
