A tale of two protests

[Outlook]

It wasn’t too long ago that the media with their liberal puppet leaders including the Michigan governor were criticizing protesters throughout the nation for wanting to reopen their states and their businesses. They criticized these protesters for not wearing masks, for not social distancing. They said the protesters were going to kill hundreds more because of their gathering. These protests were peaceful. Not one building burned.
Where are these same critics?
These same critics don’t have a problem with the gathering or the violence that it produced. How many businesses looted and destroyed?

So, just to be clear, you think people protesting the ideas of staying home and wearing masks in public is the same thing as people protesting the murder of unarmed citizens by police officers?

Something tells me I have a valid reason to be suspicious of your motives here...


EDIT: Also, many of those protesting said murder of unarmed citizens by police officers are, in fact, wearing masks to help prevent spreading COVID-19. So you even managed to fail in your attempt to accuse hypocrisy.

Those same critics are right here, they also rushed to the media calling for an end to it, just about every site I can find this morning is talking about how people spoke out against those to decided to turn outrage into destruction.

And we need to keep reminding you in the end you are talking about protests over a mask against protests over a white officer killing a detained black man using his knee as a murder weapon.

I don’t have a problem if protesters want to protest the injustice to Mr. Floyd in Minneapolis or the injustice to businesses due to lengthy lockdowns. I do have a problem of the double standard. Where is the Michigan governor commending the gathering in Minneapolis as well as commending the violence and the burning of black businesses and a black community.

You hypocrite
Where is the outrage over the dozens shot and 10 killed over the weekend in Chicago.
To you the only black lives that matter are those you can use to create a divide in America.

Let me remind you it has nothing to do with a protest about masks over a killing. You have no comprehension skills. It has to do with peoples right to protest and the hypocrisy of the left.it has to do with the right to protest peacefully, it has to do with the rights of others not to be infringed by others such as those committing crimes.

Everyone has criticized the killing of Floyd, all races. So tell me the justification for looting stores and burning them down.

I'm sure you don't. :roll:

As I already pointed out, there is no double standard. You failed on that point.

Where is the Michigan governor commending the gathering in Minneapolis

Minneapolis is in Minnesota, not Michigan.

as well as commending the violence and the burning of black businesses and a black community.

I feel as if you don't understand the meaning of the English word "commending".

There's no double standard. Critics of Michigan protest pointed out A) protestors weren't wearing masks, which could spread a disease which has killed thousands of Americans and B) they were protesting something stupid. The protests in Minneapolis (and other places) are legitimate protests based on the murder of an unarmed citizen by a police office AND a good many of those protesting are wearing masks.

Seriously, you should run from this thread as quickly as you can. Your posts have failed in every aspect.

Willful murder by the police to possibly acquiring/disseminating COVID.

is it controversial that dozens shot and killd in Chicago is bad?


riots are not justified in any case protesting for an end to discrimination and murder seems smart and just (even if not doing all you can to avoid making people sick as you do it is dumb ) protesting not being able to kill and harm others seems dumb as **** and wrong especially if you voted in a president whose incompetence and denial prolonged the need and enlarged the required scope of a lock down for political and economic gain

 

[Hypothetical]

lol some of you man. both protests where legitimate to the extent of what was being originally protested.

how dare you hate on people trying to stop from losing their livelihood.. perhaps that doesn't mean much to you if you are independently wealthy or your job has allowed you to work through this, but there are families out there hurting from losing work very badly as well... maybe not as badly as losing one;s life, but pretty damn badly.

Your rant is exactly why republicans vote for trump. You support gun toters at state capitols because the stay at home orders intrude on your rights. You're bitching about staying at home. After hundreds of years of oppression and many, many killings of black folks you want to now complain about their protesting. They're violent, they're burning things up and destroying property. Nobody really wants to see that kind of stuff however after hundreds of years of oppression it's understandable. So keep playing the victim cause you have to stay at home, it's why you vote for trump, he's a victim too.

Hello McFly
The critics criticized the gathering itself.
Obviously you don’t believe people gathering in Lansing demanding the state reopen is not a just cause.
Obviously you are clueless of the number of mental health deaths that resulted from the lockdowns.
We have two gatherings, one was condemned by the left and one was not.
We have two gatherings, one was peaceful and the other was not.
It’s a shame you aren’t smart enough to see the difference.

.

Your right. One was peaceful and the other violent.

I was wondering when Trump would get involved in a thread that had nothing to do with him.
You hatred and love for violence to divide the country is obvious.

Hello McFly
The critics criticized the gathering itself.

Due to the potential to spread a deadly disease. Yes, I've already covered this. Will you please try reading before replying next time?

Obviously you don’t believe people gathering in Lansing demanding the state reopen is not a just cause.

No, it was stupid. I could go over the numerous reasons it was stupid, but we both know you're not here for honest discussion on this point.

Obviously you are clueless of the number of mental health deaths that resulted from the lockdowns.

:lamo

So, just to be clear, you're saying "mental health deaths" from roughly a month of lockdown was greater than the 100,000+ COVID deaths?

We have two gatherings, one was condemned by the left and one was not.

Yes. One was stupid and put thousands of people at risk and the other involved people mostly wearing masks protesting the murder of an unarmed citizen by police.

The fact you continue to pretend not to understand this only proves what I've long suspected regarding your intentions.

all right quarantine measures that dont help would be a legitimate thing to protest

only the fastest way out of lock down that is as strict a set of quarantine measures every wheer and as much testing as you can manage overwhelming your hospitals and killing and damaging a lot more people so you can work is not going to be good for the economy either

You are on the wrong thread. This is not about Trump.
I love hypocrites like you. You find a horrible death like this to justify your violence. It’s violence to the black communities that may never recover then you have no problem calling Trump supporters racist.
You are the racist who support this type of protest that leads to violence. You are racist that have no problem if the police aren’t involved as the protesters destroy black communities.
You are the hypocrite that feels the horrible death of this man justifies the violence but is silent to the deaths in all intercities throughout the country. Why no discussion about the injustice in the intercity?

At least those with guns didn’t burn down the city. That the difference between Trump and Biden supporters.
Of course you forgot the hundreds that have die due to the lockdown. To you that is collateral damage.

how is he not involved if weer comparing the response to protests over police killings to the protests over lock down measures

the charge of hypocrisy stands unless one protest is clearly more justified then the other and trump is involved with the need for a longer lock down but my focus is not on him but those special people who voted for him and who protested the lock down form the ccrisis he made worse


which is not to say all people who voted for him protested the lock down or that people who dd not vote for him did not protest the lock down

Wow, talk about clueless.
Obviously the virus is over and the gatherings are okay. No one is placing anyone at risk of the virus. I guess the only risk is the violence the protests produced.
Bad guys with guns gathering peaceful looking to save their businesses. Good guys without guns gathering violently in the memory of Mr. Floyd. In his memory they burn down his neighborhood. Your a f***in genius

I believe I wrote nobody wants to see that kind of stuff in a protest. Injustice is injustice no matter where it takes place, in detroit or jackson mississippi. This is about trump he promotes violence against his 'enemies' remember him telling a gathering of cops to be not so nice putting people into the cop cars? How about how many times he would pay a person's legal bills if they got violent? Or do you not remember stuff like that? Trump, you and most republicans if you had your way there would be no black or brown people in america. But I'm a racist. How willfully ignorant you are.

 

[Slyfox696]

No, I'd prefer not to talk about your posts, but you keep making them.

And with that bit of stupidity, I think everyone can see we're done here.

The "virus is over", huh?

Those with guns were bitching about having to stay home. That certainly is on the same level of a cop kneeling on a person's neck until dead. What hundreds, got proof?

He/she/it literally just said "the virus is over", so I wouldn't expect much in the way of legitimate source for that "hundreds" claim.

You confuse law and order with racism.
The mayor of Minneapolis is the racist for allowing black communities burn to the ground. He would not allow that to happen if the violence moved to his Lilly white rich neighborhood.
By the way, if your black you better vote for Biden otherwise you are not black enough.
The democrats have done nothing for the black communities. They pander for their vote and ignore them afterwards.
