Dallas Protest, Shots Fired

[phylodog]

Ok. That's funny right there.

But, seems like a confusing and confused guy, looking for a reason to go off.

Although, he could've been a member of INGO:
- thought the police were wrong more often than not in shooting people
- didn't like Al Sharpton
- didn't like BLM
- willing to take up arms for his beliefs.

He liked BLM when he believed it was there to wage war against White America. He was pissed when Sharpton got involved and it didn't go that way. That's the way I'm reading it anyhow.

Trump had a statement. Both canceled events for today.

In other news, WTF happened to the other shooter? I thought there were 2 sniper hides with coordinated fire. Was that ever officially corrected?

Other shooter being water-boarded right now...

- didn't like BLM

That can't be, because some few pages ago BLM was guilty of shooting police officers 100% confirmed.

- willing to take up arms for his beliefs.

I think the distinguishing factor is he was willing IRL not just in politics and survival sub forums. Very sad though, that people see this as an effective way to get what they want. If anything this is a setback. Making the police trust you less is the opposite of what needs to happen (and vice versa).

What's the black pendant - it seems meaningful.

The one around the shooters neck? black power.... sort of like a swastika.... same concept.

The terrorist's manifesto has been released:

Yes, by all means lets take yet another active shooter and give them a national platform to publicize their views and recruit for their cause. This will in no way encourage future active shooters who are seeking fame, a national audience for their grievances, etc.

Interesting, don't think I've ever seen it before. What's it supposed to be? I'm not super artsy fartsy but it looks like a blob.

ETA:
Dammit, looked at it again, but kinda unfocused my eyes like with pointillism. See now that it is a fist. Jesse Owens probably not looking kindly on this.

ETA 2:
Wrong Olympics, obviously. Tommie Smith and John Carlos. Wonder what they think of all this.

 

[Hookeye]

I'd have the manifesto printed out on a big cardboard sign.
Lay it on the ground while the cameras roll.

And dump his friggin' chunks on it.

Obama already did this when he decided to make his entire platform on race politics.

That's weird. I'm still get along great with the black friends and family members I had in 2013.....I've even gained more black friends since then.

Clearly, I'm not "with it".

****.

Dude's twitter feed is now heartbreaking.

It is now being reported that he spent 5 years in the army and got out as a PFC. He must have gotten in some kind of trouble to have not at least made specialist.

Still seems odd the candidates haven't made official statements. Clinton is probably waiting on Trump to say something stupid, so she can attack it.

Johnson made a statement just a while ago.

[h=5]Gary Johnson[/h]44 mins ·

Gov. Weld and I issued the following statement this morning regarding the Dallas police shootings:
"Our thoughts are with the families and colleagues of the Dallas police officers who were so brutally murdered. The apparently calculated and cold-blooded shooting of those who were simply trying to insure the peaceful exercise of citizens’ rights to protest is both despicable and unacceptable in our society.
We have real issues in this country with regard to the relationship between law enforcement and our communities -- and those issues must be dealt with calmly and cooperatively. As we go about that effort, we must all join in rejecting the kind of cowardly and tragic atrocity that has occurred in Dallas.
As a nation, we have wounds to bind."

Would be totally shocking in a totally expected way if there were discipline and behavior issues and suggestions for mental evaluations.

Who's that?

Trump and Clinton released statements hours ago...are we just not looking?

It seems it may have already started.

Trump issued a second statement about 0930; first was short prayers and condolences 0702, stand with Dallas and LEO's around the country. Second statement:

Last night’s horrific execution-style shootings of 12 Dallas law enforcement officers – five of whom were killed and seven wounded- is an attack on our country. It is a coordinated, premeditated assault on the men and women who keep us safe.
We must restore law and order. We must restore the confidence of our people to be safe and secure in their homes and on the street.
The senseless, tragic deaths of two people in Louisiana and Minnesota reminds us how much more needs to be done.
This morning I offer my thoughts and prayers for all of the victims’ families, and we pray for our brave police officers and first responders who risk their lives to protect us every single day.
Our nation has become too divided. Too many Americans feel like they’ve lost hope. Crime is harming too many citizens. Racial tensions have gotten worse, not better. This isn’t the American Dream we all want for our children.
This is a time, perhaps more than ever, for strong leadership, love and compassion. We will pull through these tragedies.

HRC issued a short statement around 0930 "I mourn for the officers shot while doing their sacred duty to protect peaceful protesters, for their families & all who serve with them."

I think that happened yesterday during the day. Before the Dallas incident.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

All BLM supporters are not violent people and do not support violence. (realizing that the movement is broad beyond this group or that of "card carrying members")


If you identify with or support the ideology of the BLM and you disagree with those who commit or instigate violence, then you had better get your **** together and stomp that out in your organization or you will be lumped in with them as enemies of society. Not only that, but if you participate in a march or protest along side those who are advocating or instigating violence, then your silent disagreement is drowned out by your visible participation.
