You don't hear much from these folks about white baseball or football fans going nuts after a championship.

No. That is different I guess.

Perhaps the folks that were victims of the Wall Street violent looting of financial institutions should have been allowed to shoot those looters on sight?

as usual, you misinterpret what I said. when there is rioting going on, and mass looting, the only way to stop that is to start shooting those engaged in violent rioting and looting. very different than isolated incidents of shoplifting. The mass rioting in several democrat run cities caused injuries and deaths to innocents.

I misinterpreted nothing you said.

You want permission to shoot and kill people without due process in what you believe is solely Democratically represented areas.

You are outing yourself.

You want to have leave to kill those you perceive as Leftists, you want leave to kill on sight those you feel don't align with your politics.

You outed yourself.

What of due process?

Are folks in "democrat run cities" not afforded Constitutional due process in your eyes?

It sure seems you have given us plenty of reason to see you in that light.

You have made it clear, no misinterpretation on my part.

No one should be looting and burning down cities or stores. There is no need for that at all. Every crowd has its nuts.
 
More partisan bull crap I see, you rage against people on the left while ignoring those on the right. Classic faux blindness to the crimes of your own right wing extremists while only being able to point out the flaws on the other side. Hilariously right wing hypocrisy.

We'll see how funny you think it is when we start taking out your terrorist buddies.

We've been telling you leftists precisely that since at least 1968, but you never seem to get the message. After every election you leftists lose you lose your minds and become extremely violent and destructive. Now your leftist terrorist buddies are becoming violent and destructive prior to losing an election. The Democratic Party is obviously a terrorist organization and needs to be put down, with force if necessary.
 
Blocking traffic isn't terrorism, and no one has or ever will be charged with terrorism merely for blocking traffic, and causing an inconvenience. No matter how much you huff and puff.

How DARE someone mildly inconvenience me!
 
no one thinks the answer is yes

that is why this thread earned 4 clown shoes

the only clowns are those who think many BLM types don't agree with their spokesperson

Really? Did we riot after Gore v Bush? Don't remember that one. Did we riot after Reagan? Nope. Hell, we didn't even riot after Trump. You need better material buddy.

Yes, really. And your memory is obviously very faulty, because there were indeed terrorist attacks across the nation after Bush won in 2000. Naturally the anti-American leftist media likes to call illegal acts of violence and destruction "protests" but they are in fact terrorist acts by leftist criminals.



In absolutely every election that Democrats lose, without exception, they become mentally unhinged and resort to violence and destruction. They have been doing this since they lost the Civil War they started 159 years ago. Even becoming violent prior to the election, like they are now. Like during the New Orleans massacre in July 1866, when Democrats killed 38 and wounded 146 Republicans, with 34 of the dead and 119 of the wounded being black Republicans.

The Democratic Party has more than a century of history that proves beyond any doubt that it is a terrorist organization. Even after the 09/11/2001 terrorist attacks, which Democrats fully supported, the Democrats continue to riot against Bush43. Supporting the terrorist filth, like they always have.

5 people? really? get real.
 
So if one local organizer of a much larger group makes a stupid comment, that speaks for the entire group?

You must have been the guy that voted 'yes' on here, huh?

Post #53.

:2wave:

That and all can see how I voted in the Poll at the head of this thread.

:2wave:
 
The poll lets you see who voted for what. :)

Okay, well you must be one of the Leftists that agrees with the idea that looting is simply a part of reparations. It's not any better, and I don't need to see a name in a poll if someone who doesn't vote on it but agrees with an immoral sentiment like this is pushing back against those who don't want to see this kind of behavior. Looting is a crime and there is no justification. These people going around and doing it are or had become criminals. NONE of the items they're taking is theirs nor by any right are they entitled to it. People who work and get paid, and the people who run these businesses, are the ones getting screwed here. They didn't do anything to these rioters. They never done any wrong to them, didn't hurt anyone, steal their money, nor ruin the lives of these rioters. They're law abiding citizens trying to make a living so they can go about their daily lives. These rioters are the ones in the wrong here, and anyone sympathetic to the idea of reparations through looting and stealing from others is just as bad as these rioters.
 
Faithful execution of our own at-will employment laws in our own at-will employment States is what the People require!

we already have near universal at-will employment rights for our citizens. the only exceptions are those compelled by the justice system as a penalty. the draft and slavery have ended, so there is no longer another compulsory obligation to work

what i see is your posts obliquely addressing the desire for at-will unemployment benefits paid by those who work and contribute to the well being of the less fortunate via their taxable income

Obviously looking at a poll where you can see who voted for what is too much work for you. :mrgreen:
 
To some BLM members, looting is justified as reparations, because
after all "the stores looted had insurance".

Looting in Chicago should be viewed as reparations, BLM rally organizer reportedly says | Just The News


what say you?


Looting is a criminal act. They should have the book thrown at them for trying to loot under the cover of a protest.

Besides that the people who are owed reparations died a long time ago and the people who owe the reparations died a long time ago.So the idea idea of paying someone today reparations is a bogus idea seeing how no one alive today is owed reparations. .
 
1. Yes, so-called "looting" should be viewed as "emergency reparations."

2. Many needy people simply cannot wait until President Biden and Vice President Harris are able to get a reparations bill through the next Congress.

3. When I saw on TV those so-called "looters," I noticed that they were very weak because of a lack of nutrition, but they did finally manage to get into the stores in order to get much needed supplies for their families.

4. If you are the owner of a store, you should be happy that you are able to help correct the wrongs in this unjust society by helping these young people get the necessary sustenance to endure another day. (When you close at night, leave the doors unlocked. And do, please, leave refreshments for those nighttime shoppers.)

Yes, only the right wing is selfish enough to condone poverty instead of equal protection of the laws in our at-will employment States.
