Lordofkhyber 05/30/20 7:10:32 AM #69:	I know. Its all wrong. By rights we shouldnt even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, its only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didnt. They kept going, because they were holding on to something. --- Caught in the undertow <cite>Lordofkhyber posted [p:939927881] in Why aren't... [t:78731033]...</cite> <quote>I know. Its all wrong.

abaddon41_80 05/30/20 8:07:14 AM #77:	Because large groups of people combined with the fact that outright riots have broken out already are only going to intimidate police, bring them closer together as a group, and cause more problems.

Keep peddling this 'systemic' bs and it just keeps feeding the narrative that blacks are living in a country that despises them and they are being targeted and hunted down by everyone. Also in the US, blacks commit crime against whites much more than whites commit crimes against blacks. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

George was unfairly murdered,but doesn't give anyone an excuse to loot and destroy the live of other people who had nothing to do with his murder. You contradicted your own point... George Floyd was murdered unfairly yet people should be blaming themselves instead of the police force? The US has a history of police brutality Minnesota has a history of police brutality Derek Chauvin has a history of police brutality Also tell that to the police using tear gas and pepper spray on people when they were protesting peacefully and essentially starting and instigating the riots and to the Target for not allowing said protesters to purchase milk and other goods. They had nothing to do with George Floyds murder either yet theyre actively hurting people over it...but you forgot about that part Rioting isnt what anybody WANTS for their city. Its an effect. If you have a better way to get their point across that people havent already tried and been mocked for, then say it. and Target has insurance and likely underpays its employees.

abaddon41_80 05/30/20 10:37:56 AM #100:	A security officer at the Oakland federal building was shot and killed last night. The Oakland police tweeted that they do not believe it is related to the riots close by but it doesn't matter. It is going to escalate tonight.
