I'm not taking the time to read all the BS comments on here. I will say this, I don't give 2 ******s what color you are, a thug is a thug! George Floyd was murdered and the killer charged, rightfully so. But the thugs out looting, burning and assaulting innocent people does nothing to help anyone. I carry a gun with me at all times and if anyone of ANY color attacks me or my family, they will face the consequences! Nor will I stand by and watch someone else be attacked in a life threatening manner. These Democrat pu**y so-called leaders better get off their sorry a**es and do something or people will do it for them.

So our Glorious Leader was cowering in his bunker De ja vu all over again, lets compare two dictators:
TRUMP HITLER
Psycopath Ditto
Bully Ditto
Coward Decorated soldier
Persecutor of helpless minorities Ditto
Liar Ditto
Draft dodger Served and was wounded in action
Womanizer Kept it in his pants, well most of the time
Narcissist Ditto
Can't take criticism Ditto

Conclusion: Trump has nine major flaws as opposed to Hitler's Six. Pity Trump didn't take the same way out as Hitler did in his bunker.

Why do people insist on tip toeing around when something is staring them in the face? Trump is directly involved with the looting and violence and there's a good chance he's having these extreme right wing and neo-Nazis groups funded. However, as he makes all his decisions without consulting others it will come back and bite him where it hurts.
George W. also headed a totally evil administration as does Trump but he had enough sense to surround himself with intelligent albeit evil advisors and listen to them, they knew how to cover his and their tracks. All Trump has is yes men and they will be off that ship when it sinks but that's what rats do.

Do you ever wonder why there are people out there who just wants to watch the world burn? Why not burn it, 99 out of 100 people will never have any of it.

I honestly think the riots are being instigated by extremist on both sides and people that just want to watch the world burn. Opportunist as you put it.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz echoed this sentiment in a press conference on Saturday alleging that the demonstrations that caused so much damage included provocateurs, likely from outside the area. State officials said around 80 percent of those arrested in the Twin Cities on Friday were from outside Minnesota. Former FBI agent and CNN commentator, Josh Campbell wrote, that Minnesota "authorities have been monitoring alleged criminals online, including postings by suspected white supremacists trying to incite violence."

Before the rioting started in Washington DC, Brooklyn, Denver, Atlanta, and other cities, allegations emerged that undercover police officers might be to blame for some of the worst commercial destruction in Minneapolis. Experts on political violence (and not just Qanon conspiracy theorists) shared stories on social media that the May 27 looting and arson at AutoZone by an unidentified man in a gas mask carrying an open umbrella (dubbed #umbrellaman) was not necessarily a protester but could be an agent provocateur or member of the police.

There are dozens more examples, I just tried to grab a few to show the problem. I don't know that the riots are really being done by the protesters or if there are just a handful of opportunists using it.

Fins why did they need guns to calmly protest? What are they scared of? They had every intention on invoking fear.

Yeah, I'm going to stick with it. I'm not into trying to justify things like hanging people in effigy. It's against my MO.

If the guy did hang the governor in effigy, I missed that.

But no Mich, I wouldn't be scared of armed citizens in a calm and orderly protest. They didn't destroy anyone or harm anyone.

Should,
Your were implying that hanging someone in effigy is a violent act, which it is not, it may be legal and it may incite fear but it's not violent.

Hanging someone in effigy is childish and . However, Trump is a traitor and should be hanged in person.

Then I'm not sure what problem you had with me mentioning the two acts I mentioned.

I'm no hypocrite either, just because it may be legal, don't make it the right thing to do, or something I would do myself.

That was obviously wrong.

See how easy it is to not be hypocritical?

I don't remember you outrage of this, must be the thing to do in Kentucky,

Kentucky man hangs effigy of Donald Trump by noose, neighbors upset
CRESTVIEW HILLS, K.Y. (WNCT/CNN) - One Kentucky man is turning heads due to a display he created at his home in Crestview Hills.

Ken Blair built the display depicting a life-size Donald Trump doll hanging from a noose, with a controversial quote written below that Trump received backlash for during the campaign.

"He is being hung. This is a lynching of Donald Trump," said Blair. "It happened two minutes after he was sworn in because that's what he deserves. This is what traitors deserve."
Blair is a retired teacher, and said getting people's attention was his intent. He said the display is meant to support a molested family member, and other sexually assaulted women.

But some who live nearby aren't happy with the display.

"It doesn't matter what side you're on," said John Hudson. "You're disgracing the flag and you're hanging somebody. There's kids in this neighborhood. My nephew's right here and they're seeing somebody being hung that's now our President."
Blair said he had a quote from Abraham Lincoln displayed a few weeks ago, and said none of his neighbors had a problem with that.

"I think it's quite ironic that my neighbors had no problem with onepresident's quote but then their president's quote seemed to not suit them," he said.

You're jumping to a conclusion no one is making. Settle down. Not everything is an attack on your manhood.

Are you saying normal discourse is characterized by hanging people?

So hanging someone in effigy is violent, did businesses get looted, did property burn, were people injured or killed?

Someone said the shut down protests were held entirely peacefully, without incident.

Duh. Read the thread.
