I fucking love that song but honestly, the fact that more and more, we're seeing these cops actually get arrested and convicted means that things are changing.

And people say that BLM has never accomplished anything. My ass. I hope the other three scumbags get arrested and thrown in prison too.

While around the same time the police were already taking it upon themselves to take another black mans life just cause they could. And look comfortable while doing it. I'd problem stop giving a fuck about bystanders as well. Compassion can turn into a weakness if you're this much of a target to the country you live in. Are soldiers taught to have compassion when they go to war with who's threatening them? No, because it would hinder their ability to actually do what they need to. People were pushed to this point. It's not even about these 2 things.

The basis of the theory is that the extreme left and extreme right are closer to each other than they are the center. So I could see BOTH side's (sometimes nearly conspiracy level) claims of far-other-side nutjobs doing most of the actual violence to be true. Extremists from both ends have gone nuts and are burning down a city.

The basis of the theory is that the extreme left and extreme right are closer to each other than they are the center. So I could see BOTH side's (sometimes nearly conspiracy level) claims of far-other-side nutjobs doing most of the actual violence to be true. Extremists from both ends have gone nuts and are burning down a city. And who knows, there may even be some purposeful plants among them too (though its more likely its just a few extremists helping to "support" their side by doing something to pretend to be from the other side). Perhaps the horseshoe is finally starting to close. . Nazbol is coming --- #Riot2020 Eat The Rich <cite>Unknown5uspect posted [p:940013548] in To be brut...
