Louisville is about to go down...

You first

Again, you're not understanding. Either we make society better or we drive people to do this.

It's not morality, it's hydrodynamics.

People trying to start crap at Northtown Mall in Blaine, MN. While stupid, this wouldn't be a big loss.

I loled

I wonder if trixie donned his Bernie 2020 shirt and joined the fray the last couple of nights.

Yeah, gotta admit the second I saw that my thought was, "well whaddya know -- they DO exist!"

Maybe Minnesota socialists are just crazy.

Yeah, as bbdl pointed out they can't go much north of there before they run into some people who are less than sympathetic to their cause and armed.

I have a group chat with some beer geeks, one of them is really close to there. Apparently there was a car explosion, and some random car break-ins, non-related to the protests. The police were (smartly) over-cautious. This happened maybe an hour ago?

Biden at a fundraiser: “We can’t ignore that we are in a country with an open wound right now. A wound far older and deeper than George Floyd’s...killing—and his brutal, brutal death captured on film. His final words...ripped open anew this—this ugly underbelly of our society.”

We're hearing unconfirmed reports that gas lines to the Third Precinct have been cut and other explosive materials are in the building.

If you are near the building, for your safety, PLEASE RETREAT in the event the building explodes.

I love the diversity of opinions that this guy on Unicorn is getting. People are all over the map on the violence. This is what you get when you listen to actual humans, not pundits from the sliver of opinions permitted by corporate advertisers.

I am holding my tongue on some of the host's commentary, but it is interesting to hear the participant's varied points of views.

And Hudson/Twin Cities doesn't have 100 miles of flat desert in between. Now, the eastern/western borders of North Dakota, however....

Re: Cops 7: What Could Go Wrong?

"Y'all wanna live comfortably? F-ck you."

And that's the point, in one sentence. If you ignore the brutalization of people long enough, they will come after you. And yes, that's scary and unjust, and you've now felt for an instant what they've felt their whole lives.

With that feeling comes either the empathy or the fear required to get people off their as-ses and finally change things.

And that is why violence, horribly, works.
