The News Thread

This Floyd topic started as all of us on Floyd's side against the cops involved, our views have shifted as the protests have turned into riots and looting. I still think the cops involved in Floyd's murder should fry for what they did.

I still think that riots and looting suck and that those caught should be charged; but I think the riots are a response to a larger issue. That doesn't somehow absolve rioters and looters, though.

Maybe we leave it at that?

bububut its the voice of the unheard brah.

The real voice of the unheard is that of the victims of the rioting and looting who are being drowned out by armchair activists supportive of the anarchism on display.

... words that you used just a few days ago to try and condone the same acts that you're supposedly against now. get bent.

 

[Sophii]

These fucking looters and rioters need to get fucking bent. I could give less of a shit about a fucking police officer, but when you go out of your way to destroy local business and attack people that want nothing to do with getting mixed in this crossfire, YOU are the real fucking scum.

MLK: "i hope we can avoid riots. Riots are self-defeating and socially destructive. If every negro in the United States turns against non-violence i'm going to stand up as a lone voice and say this is the wrong way"

I don't see those charges sticking tbh, based on current available evidence at least. But if it stops the rioting then it makes sense I guess.

EDIT: Oh, it's ANTIFA Keith who is responsible.

Antifa suspect who incited riot gets turned over to police, by his parents.

During the riots, Bartels was sporting all-black and his face was covered, a signature style for Antifa members in recent years. KDKA reports that the FBI, Pittsburgh Police, and other agencies were already on Bartels’ trail shortly after he partook in the anarcho-terror actions, and a warrant executed on his home Sunday turned up guns, spray paint and gloves- as well as the clothes he allegedly wore during the protest.

If this turns out to be fake news I won't even be shocked, it's too funny to be real. #BoomersRiseUp?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

That one's real afaik.

Full autopsy released, apparently Floyd had a fentanyl blood level above the lethal limit. I'm sure that had nothing to do with his death.

Probably not much. If it had, he’d have been passed out and incoherent. That’s how fentanyl kills you.

Sounds like the video of him dying to me.

wow, those parents should be ashamed of themselves. instead of trying to take care of/fix the problem themselves, they fucking turn their kid in to the police? Smh, ugh ... despicable.
