Four Minneapolis officers fired after death of black man part II

I’m not left. I’m a conservative with common sense. I...
-am pro-LE/MIL
-am a Baptist
-don’t believe in 2A restrictions
-Don’t believe in welfare without work
-Don’t believe in reparations
-Would mine the southern border
-Don’t believe in abortion but think the state should have no say in that matter
-Believe in standing for the flag, but will protect other people’s right not to
-Think Capitalism is the superior system, but is complimented by certain types of socialism (funding roads, schools, Military)

People erroneously say in a leftist because whenever they vilify anyone who isn’t a Republican with the most ridiculous, off the wall, idiotic arguments; I point out how dumb it is. I also have no problem voting for a Democrat if I think Republicans are becoming too radical, and need to be taken down a peg. And yes, I think Republicans (or rather the Trumper wing) have become more radicalized. When you have people talking about “White Genocide” because a White police officer was convicted by 12 people for killing a Black man (a very rare occurrence, mind you), you know something has gone really, really wrong.
What makes you think I’m a leftist? What issue have I vocal support for, that would make me a lefty?

Trump is radical but today's democrat party isn't? It's been a while since I've read something that deluded. This is the reason why we think you're a lefty.

 

[tbhausen]

Sure. That cop ****ed up. It didn’t need to happen. Murder 2? Nope.

Of course not, but what did everyone expect to happen?

 

[tbhausen]

And for the millionth time, if floyd hadn`t passed a fake bill, if floyd hadn`t fought police, none of this would have happened. floyd ****ed up, but that`s ok, because now he`s St. floyd, the patron saint of bowel movements matter.

All true, but what did everyone expect to happen?

 

[Kutnupe14]

It doesn’t look to me like you understand the other side of it. People did not mention white genocide because Chauvin was found guilty. They talked about it because of the threats prominent members of the Left said that they would do if he’s not found guilty. It’s like you have blinders on your left side and magnifiers on your right.

And that list you have there has nothing in common with Democrats. Not anymore.

I understand the “other side of it,” perfectly fine. You’re just making excuses for whatever reason.

I didn’t call Trump a radical. I said a number of his folks are radicalized. There’s a difference. It’s the “useful idiot” premise that people here also say is representative of BLM. So yeah.

This should be interesting. Explain how republicans\Trump's folks are radical and how the democrat aren't.
I don't think you want to throw that useful idiot net, you might find it full of people who vote like you. I mean who ticks off a bunch of things they believe in then votes against them all?

Mainly the vocal support of a socialist like Biden and his socialist views. I take it you were because of your voting. However, I stand corrected. I say you are more if a left leaning libertarian.

 

[jamil]

Of course not, but what did everyone expect to happen?

I think everyone was hopeful that the trial would conclude justly, but also most people were realistic that it would not.

 

[Hawkeye]

I’m playing. You said you’d walk away and leave your fellow American on the gallows; not me. So that’s reflective of you and saving your own skin.
And I’m on record as saying I completely disagree with Biden’s 2A stance.

And, are you doing anything about it?

 

[churchmouse]

I think everyone was hopeful that the trial would conclude justly, but also most people were realistic that it would not.

Appeasement.

The full court press by biden to the far left is not going to help matters.

 

[jamil]

I understand the “other side of it,” perfectly fine. You’re just making excuses for whatever reason.

1) Making excuses for what?
2) If you understand it perfectly fine, does that mean you intentionally minimize the harm done by the Left?

You still think the right is more dangerous. We're a hell of a lot closer to a communist utopia than a white-only, Christian-only, missionary position-only nation. Maybe 10K people in the US are white nationalists. There are millions of bat **** crazy woke leftists, many of whom are leaders throughout America's institutions of power, especially the press and social media. That is astonishing power over the national conversation, and the minds of weak people.

Nope. I’m gonna need a pass from a mod before I sellout like that. Because that “report” button is probably going to get worn out real quick.
And I didn’t say Democrats “aren’t” radicalized. On the contrary, “Republicans”are just catching up.

 

[jamil]

Appeasement.

Yeah, I think at least for a portion of the jury it was that, and another portion were just being woke.

DYK? 75.2% of statistics are made up on the spot.

As long as we paint BLM on our streets and the walls of our sports venues they are empowered.

I'd have to agree with that. I've seen some of them become radicalized while browsing INGO over the last several months. But I disagree with the last point as it implies that there's a right wing cabal of sorts pulling the strings. If you mean that there are web sites and social media that spread disinformation on both sides, I think there may be something to that. Russia and China both seem to be stoking the extremes. But especially social media algorithms provide the most growth in the extremes. I don't think that's a plot. It's an unfortunate feature of crony capitalism.

 

[jamil]

Well. That's not an honest, engaging reply.

 

[Hawkeye]

Nope. I simply asked you a question. Care to answer it without dodging?

You really typed "Care to answer it without dodging"? Really? You? :O
