World uneasily watches US protests

THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE

I live in France where handguns are forbidden. (Except for police.)

Nobody gets shot in the street and neither in America would they get shot in the streets had the US forbidden hand-guns.

Rightist Jerks say that guns are necessary to guarantee "freedom", which is kinda-sorta stoopid. Nobody sufficiently intelligent (and thus having the means to do so) wants to invade the US. There is no lurking threat to American lives from that source and taking the source as a reason for gun-ownership is thus non-sensical.

In fact, the real reason is because Americans - for some unexplained and perhaps unexplainable reason - like guns. Perhaps it is folklorish and relates to the numerous times in American history that guns were employed in battles on American soil?

From Pew Research here:

So, guns bind (some) men together - perhaps they think that guns are akin to the "red badge of courage"?

What about American women? Their attitudes towards the subject are quite different. Those that have them see guns as a means of protection. Because so many men are scoundrels and will use a gun to intimidate a woman?

You betcha ...

 

You ARE being satirical, yes?

 

In US we have a Constitution that gives people the right to bear arms. So everyone that does not have a felony conviction can own guns. Many states and cities have illegibly curtailed their resident 2nd Amendments right.

 

JUSTICE BE DONE

Yes, what happened is appalling. The officers who committed the offence will be tried, and surely a court of law will assure that they will go to jail. Four cops sitting on a body and a fifth just watching the monstrosity of what is tantamount to a public-killing!

Yes, the police have a horrendous job to do when it comes to massive demonstrations. But, what is happening is in direct relation to how the Covid-19 infection has occurred in the US. Any such infection on the massive scale as has occurred is surely a responsibility of the US government in DC - and not just state governors to do as best they can. (No where in Europe did a national government assume that fighting Covid-19 was the responsibility of local governments. Europe also has states within the national state.)

I suggest that Donald Dork be tried again, this time for dereliction of presidential duty. We should put Donald Dork behind bars where he belongs.

Too much is too much is too much is WAY TOO MUCH ... !

PS: The world is watching on this one, boyz-'n-girlz. And it expects justice to be done.

 

THE STEADY RISE OF GUN DEATHS IN AMERICA

In France and all of Europe, when rebuilding itself, no national government saw any good reason for doing the same.

The right to bear arms was important when there was NO STANDING ARMY in the US, and it was entirely possible for the King of England to start a war to recuperate HIS COLONY. Which is what he did.

History being history, that potential danger is of no significant relevance whatsoever nowadays.

Be careful about quoting history. There is always a good reason to doubt relevance between what happened once-upon-a-time long ago and what is happening at present!

Things change ... guns are out of control and they are killing Americans by the thousands every year and have been for quite some time. For your edification:


Must YOU be one of the numbers shown above in order to understand what is happening ... ?

 

The citizens have a Constitutional right to peaceful protest. That is why these people were not arrested. That is why the George Floyd protestors have not been arrested for violating their states COVID-19 restrictions. So, this is obviously not a self correcting by your definition. But evenly if this was a self correcting situation, that does not give the liberals the right the lie about the photo.

 

Nice try Jeannette .... has only one hint: Skripal was poisend by Russian agency!
I know ... don't waste your time ... that you will deny this until the last drop of blood and tell that this was all a conspiracy and at least MI-5 or MI-4 or whoever was in reality and so on.
Sorry ... this nonsense can only believed to be true who believe in Russian lamestream media!

 

Very well writen!
I live in Germany and hand guns re not totally forbidden, but we have drastic rules in a drastic weapon law ... and more important: over 2/3 of people see it that itis not necessary to have an own gund. For what?
In my hometown - Cologne - with over 1 million inhabitants, the police has in complete 2019 a total of 27 times a use of a gun by police ... of what only 7 times was against other people and the rest for things like shooting a wild boar running amok etc.

Every American citiy of same seize hast 27 times gun use per week if not lesser as a week! This tells all...

It is the American, rediculous fairy tale of it must be to have a gun with the rediculous constitional right to have a gun and the LOVE for guns in the USA. In mean time the madness runs itself, because people say it is necessary to have a gun, because bad boys have a gun ... and some righty morons even tell because police has guns!

Isn't it rediculous that an 18 year old person can legally buy a bunch of guns, enough to arm a platoon of Marines ... becoming a soldier and going to war and using wepaons of all kind of stuff and die in war ... but is not allowed to go to a bar and drink alcohol if not being age 21?
So in conclusion alcohol is rated to be much more dangerous for young people as any gun. This tells all about madness and USA in matter of gun law!

 

You claim that my post is BS, but then you answer my post with your own brand of BS. The ANTIFA protest are funded by George Soros' Alliance for Global Justice:

“While it’s been proven that funders like Soros and the Democrat Party have paid protest organizers and some protesters, groups like the violent Black Bloc [sic – black bloc refers to a set of tactics, not a group] typically aren’t motivated by money, but instead come to protests because of their anti-American ideology, base criminal desires and thrill seeking.”

"Nonetheless, the left-wing billionaire George Soros has ties to Antifa through a group called the Alliance for Global Justice (AfGJ). Soros’s philanthropy, known at the time as the Open Society Institute, gave $100,000 to AfGJ ($50,000 in 2004 and $50,000 in 2006)."
https://capitalresearch.org/article/origins-of-antifa/

Further, this organization claims to be anti fascist, but they are constantly using fascist tactics. So, they claim to be against themselves.

The BLM is also funded by Soros:

"That funding comes in addition to more than $33 million in grants to the Black Lives Matter movement from top Democratic Party donor George Soros through his Open Society Foundations, as well as grant-making from the Center for American Progress."
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/aug/16/black-lives-matter-cashes-100-million-liberal-foun/

So, obviously the claim that there is no leadership. You also may not know that the leader of BLM lives in an house that is owned by George Soros Baltimore branch of Open Society Institute.

"
#BlackLivesMatter leader DeRay Mckesson may claim to be leading a grassroots revolution for racial and economic justice, but he has close connections with the privileged and elite.

Mckesson lives in a home owned by philanthropists James and Robin Wood in Baltimore, Maryland.

It’s the same address he used when declaring his residency on his campaign committee registration form for his failed mayoral run in the city’s Democratic primary earlier this year.

The Woods have owned the home since 1996 and are wealthy donors to the Baltimore chapter of George Soros’ Open Society Institute.

Robin is so active that she was made a board member of the far-left non-profit back in 2008, according to the OSI’s website."

So, both the claim that there was no leadership for ANTAFA is totally BS. How else would they have collected the donations that Soros made to them? You should research your claims before you post them. As I pointed out, in the country that you claim to be in has no First Amendment right to post lies. So, stop posting them. You also have no right to comment on what is happening in the US.

 

That's just dishonest. It reads "restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions, and any potential intoxicants".
So it's not proved that he was intoxicated one bit.

So we got 8 minutes of restraining by the cops, where the guy pleaded for aid, to finally get that black man lynched to death with underlying health conditions.


These racist thugs with badges are just men of their time. It takes a white racist thug of a man to just have your hand in your pocked and kill a black man that slowly, while your buddies make sure he got lynched to death that way. It's all a rather gruesome joke to them. And we see that same kind of joking around on forums like this one. They all share the same white American culture. Not all white peeps are like that. But plenty of them are. They end up in the jury. etc.

 

They don't represent the US government laws, the constitution etc?
What planet do you live on?

Oh, Americans are all over the place to criticize how other governments are dealing with protests. That usually goes with that the national government must step down. But when the tables are turned,... it's all... neah... them protesters are terrorists. Very shallow.

 

Another individual that needs to research what you post. The EU open border policy has made it difficult for police doing their job. The terrorists in the Paris 2016 attack was not arrested until he was staged another attack at the Brussel Airport. If the EU respected their national borders, this individual would not have been able to leave France, and would have been arrested in France. He would have then not been able to stage the Brussel attack.

Additionally, if you had research the topic you would have known that the gun deaths were actually suicides. If they did have guns available, then they would have chosen another way of killing themselves. So the graph is totally irrelevant. Everything you posted was nothing but BS!!!!

 

Domestic terrorists is a good enough description for them.

 

This is in direct relation in how cops and large portions of the white population behaves against the black population. The thug behavior of the police is everywhere to be seen these days. Police arresting and shooting at the free press have been documented extensively. These are not isolated case anymore. It happens nation wide. It all fits in the culture to act like a thug when white and having a badge.

There are vids out how the police runs over peaceful protesters with a horse. Multiple ones where they do drive by macing of peaceful protesters. People shot in the face with rubber bullets point blank. Cops have been seen to drive into crowds of protesters to than drive off again. Loads of cops are taping of their badge numbers.


This is how cops are. Period. And all the stats show that cops treat black people far more worse than other ethnicity. Time to face the music. There might be some good guys out there. But this is mainly it.

Donald in the passed blamed other presidents for the domestic riots. Presidents in the passed blamed all kinds of foreign governments when riots happen there.. like China, Iran, Venezuela. The US government should have a hint that they failed. But they simply refuse to take any responsibility of what is going on.... hence nothing changes.

 

I have been shot twice, once in the military and once in Paris with a .25 caliber handgun. Tell me all about it.

 

Wow, how do you walk carrying that huge chip on your shoulder? The finding was that there was no strangulation or damage to the windpipe. Cops didn't go out and pick a random black guy and strangle him to death. They apprehended a suspect based on a call.

 

He appeared to me to be OK until he encountered the cops.

 

Yes, it's one of the beneath contempt things Trump does.

 

So what?

It isn't first-degree murder.

Why would they pull him out of the squad car, handcuffed, place him on the ground, and then hold him down as we can see on the video?

 

They don't give a fig about Democrats.

 

What a load of pathetic BS! Right, we are going to put up the national borders again and ALL WILL BE OK.

Go away, you are wasting of bandwidth ...

 

Are you spending too much time with your head in the Angry Middle-Aged White Male Rightwing Religious Traditionalist Open Mouth Media Echo Chamber?

 

Is there some reason you felt the need to add the stuff in blue above? Are you a news media expert trying to help out?

 

Not to mention air.

 

There are worse places to stick your head.
