Is the current violent social unrest Obama's violent mind control cult in action? Or are labels like that reserved for nonviolent protesters?

The hypocrisy couldnt be any more clear

jazz_music says

Nobody did anything.

Sure, and CNN's ratings have never been better. https://babylonbee.com/news/cnn-draws-largest-crowd-in-years

Do you purposefully dodge every conversation? You accuse peaceful, civil, law abiding right wing protesters of being in a death cult based on no facts.

So what do you call these left wing animals who have so far killed at least 2 people and destroyed businesses and private property all over the country? Just a bunch of dindos, im sure.

OccasionalCortex says

In other words, LA mayor wants law and order enforced by gunpoint if necessary. But he doesn't want to suffer the political consequences at election time by the very people he's going to have the Guard rough up.

The only way Garcetti loses if he gets challenged by a Hispanic in the Democrat primary. He knows he is untouchable.

Residents of City of Los Angeles are among the least intelligent people in the country. They kept Tony Villar in office and now Garbagecetti who has presided over a 6x increase in number of homeless, a covid 19 blowup in assisted living facilities, and now this fiasco.

What moron would vote for an idiot like Garbagecetti again?

William Floyd was a signer of the Constitution.

George Floyd was a victim of excessive force during an arrest

How did this Cop keep working in such a Far Left Town in a Far Left State?

Nope, we're touting the riots and burnings as mostly by White Leftists. Nobody supports the Cop.

I notice reading comprehension from the Left Side of the Board is way off these days, as well as nuanced views.

Then why have I seen blacks say "don't destroy black businesses only whites" , "We are coming to the suburbs".

I do think in some places far left antifa has hijacked and brought violence.

Tim Aurora says

Fortunately despite Trumpsters best efforts, a good majority of whites and other races. People are turning this police vs blacks into blacks vs whites. This is Edwardsville, IL, my hometown.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/05/31/george-floyd-protests-live-updates/#link-HNUR23GFEBAGZDAHT6OOMECIRI

you mean Trump who has a very diverse cabinet, doesnt color code people all the time like the leftists? Ha, you are too funny for words, liberals just make fun of themselves and that is the most entertaining part. Everything left says sounds stupid.

Keep walking around with that paint chip Tim, hope it makes you feel better about being wrong about everything.

I think left is trying too hard to start a race war, and it's just not really happening for you guys. Left is experiencing erectile disfunction.

I was gonna comment but the OP can't use proper english, thus couldnt quite ascertain the meaning.



Trump has been great to everyone. Its CNN/MSNBC/et all who have been stoking racism. End of discussion.

Tim Aurora says

^^ sentence fragment. You fail 9th grade english

The nazis had 100% of the education system, local media, and business leaders behind them. Publicly, all 1930's German elites agreed that the jews were enemies of the state, and needed to be dealt with.

Antisemitism was politically correct the same way anti-rightwing idiocy is PC today.

You are on the wrong side Jazz. You support the baddies.

Yep, What we're seeing is the Krystalnacht on American People, especially small business owners.

Again, the Media's demonization of Shutdown Protesters, who were completely lawabiding, versus their condoning of Antifa Terrorists' looting and burning

Just like Nazi Papers demonized the Jewish Boycott of Germany for anti-Jewish laws and claimed it was a "Declaration of War against Germany", but lionized the Krystalnacht pogram.

Remember this CNN needle-pushing classic?

CNN Sorry For Editing Clip Of Milwaukee Victim's Sister Calling For Violence

The news network made it appear as if the woman was calling for peace, when she in fact urged demonstrators take their violence "to the suburbs."

...

Sylville Smith, 23, was shot by an officer on Saturday afternoon, triggering destructive riots in the city. Officials said police body camera footage shows Smith turning towards an officer while holding a gun, prompting the officer to open fire.

On Sunday, Smith's sister, Sherelle, addressed media, condemning the destruction in her community.

"Don’t bring the violence here and the ignorance here," she said.

"Burning down shit ain’t going to help nothing!" she continued. "Y’all burning down shit we need in our community. Take that shit to the suburbs. Burn that shit down! We need our shit! We need our weaves. I don’t wear it. But we need it."

You think? lol...they show up, stir up the shit......the decent black people don't want them there...the black punks take advantage by looting...and they don't care who they steal from...whites, blacks, chinamen,,,,whoever....nothing new to see here

Nope, everyone here on Patrick knows it's not black vs. white. It's elites balkanizing the nation vs. the taxpaying middle class that just wants a better life. PERIOD.

If you want to dive into the broken black culture, Democrat 30 years of racial division and race pimp businesses that wants to keep sowing division for money and political gain, I'm down. But dont be a moron and make it black vs. white.

Even FDR knew the eternal Patriarchal Truth: Give welfare to unmarried bitches, and divorce, illegitimacy, and ALWAYS attendant social ills will skyrocket.

Tim Aurora says

People here, especially Trumpsters are touting the protest as Blacks vs Whites.

Quote the comment or admit you're lying.

I left PatNet long ago but decided to read perspectives on the unprecedented current nationwide madness and found this.

Tim Aurora says

it is Blacks against police violence

I wish that were true, but please see this demand to free Mohamed Noor, a Somali Muslim cop who killed a white civilian woman while also being sued for assaulting another woman:

https://twitter.com/infolibnews/status/1266593440630018048
https://districtherald.com/rioters-call-for-somali-cop-who-killed-white-woman-to-be-freed-on-cnn/

It took 8 months to arrest Noor, yet there were no riots.

Please see also the post by rd6B on this incident:
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/investigations/2019/07/31/you-re-gonna-kill-me-dallas-police-body-cam-footage-reveals-the-final-minutes-of-tony-timpa-s-life/
Again, there were no riots when the cops killed the white guy.

Police violence spans every conceivable color combination, but only one combination produces "protests" (riots).

Tim Aurora says

There are many whites joining....

Yes, including AntiFa and "black block" provocateurs who infiltrate a protest and turn it into a violent riot (which might have happened anyway), and virtue signalers who don't protest police violence unless it involves the magic combination of white villain and unarmed black victim. Arson, looting, and violent riots have erupted for more than 50 years, but have never accomplished much aside from impoverishing certain neighborhoods and making them unhealthy "food deserts" because almost no one wants to invest there.

Also, interesting that you capitalize black but not white. These are colors. Capitalizing one but not the other seems to imply supremacy of one over the other, which the rioters demanding the release of Mohamed Noor might agree with. (They might also favor Muslim male supremacy over females not wearing hijab, as per the Koran.)

And then there is the whole COVID-19 situation. For a decade, through two successive administrations, no one replenished the national stockpile of N95 masks. This was part of Fauci's job the whole time. "Trumpsters" blame Obama, Democrats blame Trump (for everything imaginable), and almost nobody blames Fauci, even though he's been in charge of infectious disease since the Reagan administration. (Republicans call him a Clinton supporter, but he is a Reagan appointee and holdover through both Bushes, Clinton, Obama, and now Trump.) CDC reports that SARS-CoV2 was already spreading in the USA in January, and that half of the infected population have no symptoms, but in February Fauci was telling Americans that "healthy" people don't need to wear masks. Woops! The buck stops with the President, i.e. Trump, but look at the terrible advice he was getting from Fauci. It is ironic: Trump overrules many experts, it's in his nature, but the worst blunder of his Presidency was listening to the "expert" Fauci instead of the intelligence warnings (e.g. from Richard Grenell). Half the fatalities are in the NYC metro area, due mainly to crowded mass transit. Imagine if NYC mass transit commuters had been given masks from the national stockpile, and required to wear them while in the mass transit system, and only certain numbers of people were allowed in at the same time, and NYC employers had been required to stagger schedules or let people WFH. Imagine if the vulnerable had been ordered to stay home, and employers had been required to accomodate them (same as any other disability) with WFH. The whole issue of pandemics has been mismanaged horribly for years, with suddenly more lethal consequences than usual.

As for "Trumpsters" vs leftists, both groups have become increasingly unrealistic, sometimes delusional and other times dishonest. Facts don't reliably serve a partisan narrative, so they have no constituency. As PatNet devolved into mostly partisans and trolls, I had to leave.

Be safe and be well, if you can.

Tim Aurora says

And that's the biggest flaw in your logic in the title. Don't commit crimes and you'll have less interactions with police. If there's less crime an argument can be made to have less cops further lessening interactions with law enforcement. The solution has always been there for all victims of police brutality. White, brown, black, yellow, etc should stop committing crimes if they don't want interaction with the cops. It happens to all races, so it's comical that you are singling out blacks.

And before anyone gets up in arms, any person without a weapon should not die at the hands of the police. Especially if you've got 4:1. This current situation was obviously wrong and the officers will get their time.

The idea that looting and rioting is going to change a damn thing is ridiculous. Bad cops will always exist, but this isn't some rampant thing it's made out to be. Don't commit crimes and you don't have to deal with it. It's not the 80' or 90's anymore either, the driving while black thing or stop and frisk has been mostly been a thing of the past at this point. Stop making up bullshit excuses for communities that are out of control. Get them under control. That starts within the community. Ain't no one gonna do it for ya. Be men and not cowards.

jazz_music says

All this subcontracting, independent contractors, … was a scam, a scam meant to circumvent paying going wages and benefits, … to enhance profit margins; a scam that transferred more wealth to the top.

Or you could be intelligent and game the tax system like you think your overlords do. It's not hard. Get an FEIN number, register with your state and start writing off frivolous expenses. The IRS is not going to come after under $10k most the time. I've done it for years while still following federal tax law. Nothing illegal. You hate the game, yet give a pass to the game creators that you want more of.... government.

You basically want more of what causes you problems. We're not ass holes here, there's just a massive flaw in the point of view you have. Government is going to fix the problem of itself? That's literally what you ask for in your post. Government is the cause of pretty much everything you bring up here.

jazz_music says

America has plenty of law enforcement, prosecutors and prison cells for those who loot a Whole Foods

Orly? Where are they for the last 3-4 days?

I agree with you on a lot of this @jazz_music

jazz_music says

Here, in the SF Bay Area, time and again, we saw vans loads of undocumented Hispanics under a ‘Labor Contractor’ come in from the Central Valley to build condos

Yes, obviously illegals are used to drive down wages for American citizens. That is why they are protected by "sanctuary laws".

jazz_music says

after the H1B Immigration Act of 1990, Microsoft could hire programmers from India for one-half the cost of a citizen programmer. Half of Bill Gates’ fortune was resultant these labor savings; the other half was made off those not US Citizens

Again, yes, obviously the entire goal of the H1B program is to drive down wages. It has no other purpose. It exist in order to directly harm US citizens.

jazz_music says

The time is now before Trump bankrupts us

That's where you take a wrong turn.

Trump was elected exactly because of the the harmful effects of globalization promoted by Democrats. Trump is the answer, not the problem. At least he's been pretty good so far at pointing out the harms of outsourcing to China and insourcing illegals. Not one Democrat will ever take those positions, because they are paid off with the profits gained by screwing over American citizens.

The right answer is to abandon the Democratic Party and form a new Labor Party which never takes donations or allows influence from any employer big or small.

jazz_music says

Our ruling elites, devoid of leadership, are little more than the scum of self-interested, greedy grifters who rose to the top of America's foul-smelling stew of corruption.

You've described the Democratic Party perfectly.

The whole entertainment industry has turned to fetid shit, and most all degenerates from all races, are quite content listening and watching most vile and vulgar disgusting filth.

You are citing the same idiots that will listen to music all day long tossing the Nigger word around, while they point their fingers at Patriots and call them racists for nothing.

Go sell that bullshit somewhere else.

jazz_music says

This is the righteous beginning of the people taking back the driver seat.

Ah, it all makes sense now: these animals broke into MB dealership in Oakland two days ago to take the driver seat!



Shall we presume the driver seat was taken from that AMG GT Coupe they subsequently set on fire?

jazz_music says

the atrocities mentioned above

This happened a long time before the 80's or automation. The black thug culture is a product, ironically, of the Civil Rights era. In the late 60's, young blacks under the influence of their leaders H. Rap Brown, Stokely Carmichael and Eldridge Cleaver along with the Black Panther party rejected assimilation into mainstream American society advocated by MLK for, well, the black thug culture of violence, hatred of The Man and capitalism, involvement in the drug culture and every other self-destructive impulse known to mankind. This was aided by the social engineering schemes of the Great Society that insisted no man could live in a home where a welfare check was being received. This resulted in generations born into bastardy without a strong male influence and social uselessness. The huge majority of these people rioting have never spent a gainful day of employment in their lives and don't intend to. Their's is the smash and grab mentality and puts them in harm's way of authority by their own devices. Young blacks before the 1960's were employed, even at lower ranking jobs than whites, but these murderous impulses never occurred to the majority of them.

Exactly!

You know, we really have the same feelings about the harms of globalization. I just see Trump actively doing things to counter it, where you don't seem to see those things.

jazz_music says

Oh great a fucking comedian.

This is exactly what is wrong with Americans.

It's you and yours who are fucking comedians with your attempts to dress simple looting, attacking of people who have nothing to do with your "grievances" and general monkey behaviour into some kind of noble toga of "protest" and "demand for justice". There are plenty of methods to make yourself heard, especially if you have numbers behind you, they are just don't come with side bonuses of free Nike shoes and LV bags.

I would even understand direct fighting with police, bringing the fight to the enemy so to speak, but attacking and beating down elderly shop owners, looting jewelry stores... Lowest of the fucking low. Filthy scum.

You deserve neither sympathy nor respect. Your "outrage" rings hollow and fake.
