All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

This also applies to the NBA, as no games will take place tonight, or possibly tomorrow.

I didnt know that. I dont watch the NBA. But that is good.

Did they shoot him in the back seven times?

They probably just took him to Burger King.

Shot in the back? No.

Kenosha cops managed to let the white kid armed with an AR-15 flee all the way across the state line back into Illinois, where he was arrested, in spite of being on scene when he committed a mass shooting.

Kid's a "blue lives matter" fanatic, at that... so they let a fan of theirs murder the protesters like they wished they could and then watched him run.

So we keep hearing how Biden can't just run on "I'm not Trump".
But it seems perfectly fine for Trump to run on a mainly "Don't vote for Biden" campaign.

Well, he doesn't have anything else to run on except to fearmonger about an imaginary version of Joe Biden, because it's kind of hard to look around American right now and be like, "YEAH, NOW THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING."

Unless you have some sort of an airtight case that will prove that Trump is some sort of a brilliant political strategist?

What is in blue solidifies that what is in green is not the most sound of political strategies.

Kenosha shooter was front row at a Trump rally back in January. Why am I not surprised?

Illinois teen arrested in fatal shooting at Kenosha protest, police say



17-Year-Old ‘Blue Lives Matter’ Fanatic Charged With Murder at Kenosha Protest

Well at least I know why people are talking about about police brutality again. I wasn't aware of what happened in Wisconsin. Your country is F'd. First...

1)Why did the police officers need to draw their guns? (was Jacob Blake armed?)

2)Why are they following him around with their guns drawn?

3)Why don't your police have training to de-escalate as opposed to escalate the situation?

4) Why is a 17 year old wandering around with a semi automatic rifle?

5) Who would take a picture of their kid wearing a semi automatic rifle?

He's just a kid, a no matter what you think of the conduct of the protesters, he's now a murder and has obviously been indoctrinated/brain washed by some sort of right wing militia ideology.
Raw video footage is up on you tube, I won't post it.

I bet Satan is chilling downstairs, sitting next to a fair few Founding Fathers, clapping Pelosi-style at them thanks to their work on the Second Amendment. Perhaps even a chef’s kiss.

Honestly, that you're asking that set of questions is the issue.

A lot of that stuff is simply "Tuesday"/"4:23pm" in America.

Except Biden is not only running on a I'm not Trump platform. No matter how much you want to ignore that.

The current situation with guns in the U.S. can be laid squarely at the feet of the GOP and their steady erosion of campaign finance laws which make it possible for the NRA to spread money around Washington. That's the only thing that allowed the NRA to basically write their own interpretation of the Second Amendment and make it stick. The GOP is Satan as far as the U.S. is concerned.

I was going to post this in the MLB thread but this is a social issue not just a baseball issue. The Brewers have decided that as a form of protest over the police shooting they will not play tonight game against the Reds. Both the Reds Manager and Brewers Manager have said this is more important then Baseball and if this helps shed light on a huge problem they are glad to do it.

How much more light does it take for it to shed on this ONGOING issue?

Nothing is being sold but LOT folks are making money off of dead black folks-especially black men. From banner to signs and whatever else-SOMEONE is making money.

So they stopped playing for ONE night. Who gives a dang?

Not one law or policy is being changed.

Because all it take is The Stranger Things white kid said the N word to get folks off the path or the ultimate goal.

All this stuff is look at me I want some attention.

All those folks better be at the POLLS in November and ready to vote in EVERY election-not just the Presidency. Folks seem to forget that.

If asking why a 17 year old becomes a murderer because he's most likely been indoctrinated by some nutty right wing militia ideology is an issue, than your country truly is in a sad state of affairs.

The folks who are passionate about this are ultimately a small percentage of voters, and each of their votes counts as much as the vote of someone completely unaware of the issue.
