Zach btw hope you’re keeping well sann

Looting always goes with rioting, it’s opportunism and it’s really not the issue here.

America as we know it came into being on the back of theft and looting (from the Native Americans) and slavery, so I’m not going to lose any sleep over footlocker losing a few pairs of trainers.

Anonymous coming out and exposing trump as a pedo has been enjoyable. That’s how any damage will really be done these days, by cyber geniuses.

Me neither but the point is that it doesn’t help
It certainly doesn’t help the other side sympathise with the issue. Pushing them even further back into their prejudices

He needs this unrest to distract from the abject failure he has overseen with Covid so I expect it to get a lot worse

Already said this but the twin viruses of Covid & Racism/Riots in election year is mega toxic and then factor in the tanking economy and mass unemployment....

True but I have to wonder if that’s not been just another distraction (There’s not one central account they use I believe so it depends who is writing it)
If they’re gonna do it, do it.

Qanon think it’s all the opposite way
They’re a special bunch

It’s all about expression and unfortunately the masses don’t know the correct way to express themselves due to constantly being pushed down, underfunded, undersupported and thus not properly educated.

They did that to Mark Zuckerbrrg too after he announced that it’s not Facebooks place to fact check!

Plus being in lockdown for 10 weeks.

What I mean is they need to follow it up as the info they released (the receipts as it were) was already out there.
Didn’t see anything new from them

I don’t think Americans were really in lockdown tbf

Right I’m gonna put this facking thing on charge and go be productive
Waiting to hear if I still have a job to go back to as well yay
Stay safe

Good luck

He’s jammed all the phones in DC so the protesters can’t do insta stories apparently

Cheers

The missus’s bro is a police officer and all him and his mates are cool. The issue is the police are given a ridiculous amount of power and are barely policed themselves (except for the FBI but it’s tough to know what their intention is). Like of positions of unaccountable power, they can and will be exploited.

Problem is, if you have 1000 “good” cops and 10 bad ones and the 1000 say and do nothing , you have 1010 bad cops.

I actually think that is kind of unfair a statement, as it overlooks so much situational context. It probably isn’t an unfair statement, however, to say every police commissioner is a bad cop.

You have to call the bad ones out or you are complicit.

Galv is right about the phones in DC too.

I mean I literally know people who took Instagram stories live from DC last night

No it’s happening now.

Confront them, report them, do SOMETHING.
