    Again, he wasn't a store owner, and I've already commented on the wrongdoing of his attackers. Please re-read.

    If you have access to a technological development known as a television signal or you can download a podcast or down load via your computer or or you still have that ancient cable you will see that there is virtually a 24/7 coverage of the George riots.

    I can't imagine you posting anything other than hateful and baseless insults against the president, and you never seem to disappoint.

    Did any of them show the black "peaceful protesters" beating (with 2X4s) the white couple who were protecting their business? Did CNN cover it? Did CBS cover it? Did the New York Times cover it? Any calls for racial justice?

    Oh sorry he was protecting someone else's property.

    That certainly changes things.

    Beaten with a skateboard and rocks by a mob of 40 but he had a machete so, yeah, he was probably the bad guy.

    I'm glad you acknowledge that your OP is fake news. Now what have I said that you disagree with? Be specific.

    Also, no, it wasn't a machete. Doesn't matter, but it was a sword, not a machete. Both are legal to carry in Texas now, ever since the bogus "knife" laws changed.

    I will ask you the question do you have proof that CNN, CBS, NYT did not report that incident. You do understand or will you admit to understand that there where way more incidents during these last 5 days of horror than can possibly be shown. Was there a Network reporter at that horrible incident? You do realize that there are not enough Network reporters or Indie reporters to capture 100% of all incidents. Do you have proof that an Indie reporter or a private person captured that incident and sent it along with authenthication that the incident happened. You see I can believe it did happen and I accept you "report" that it did happen. But if CNN, or NYT, or any normal media reported it and it was proven that it was a Brietbart or that Liar who said Sandy Hook parents were actors actually manufactured it then the charge of Fake News would be made.
    The Normal Networks did not have the time to show ALL of the "honest" demonstrators , Did Fox So Called News show all of the honest peaceful demonstrators? Did Fox So Called news show ALL of the rioters! You know that no Network or news service could possibly show ALL of normal peacefull demonstrators nor could they possibly show ALL of the rioters and ALL of the looters. Between CNN and NBC I saw enough looters to make me sick for life.

    You know I like every decent American have seen enough rioters, looters, insurrectionists in the last 5 or 6 days to make me mad and sick that my country , and I will go out on the limb and say that maybe you also feel mad and sick that our country is being torn up by evil people. Yet I still have to point out that what that "police officer" did by killing George was not proper police procedure and just maybe is at least 3rd degree murder. I also say that the 3 watchers are guilty of stealing least deriliction of duty for not stopping the killer cop.

    That cop is who trigger this mess, do you agree???

    Come on now ! These riots and demonstrations have been building since Monday and as the riots and demonstrations have gotten more widespread and more violent the more news coverage has been given them. You do agree that Friday night the incidents got real bad and the intensity and severity grew and grew this weekend as did the coverage.

    Of course, I posted this almost midnight Sunday morning.

    I watched Minneapolis burn to the ground Friday night.

    No. The cops behavior triggered the protests.

    Greed triggered the riots.

    I dont know, let me whip out my media sources tracking device here....

    Friday night there was no national live footage of the riots. I know because I had to watch them on YouTube.

    Yes, there was carefully selected clips shown from time to time, but nobody was aware of the damage taking place in these cities until well into the second night after downtown Atlanta had been completely destroyed. There was nothing live and unedited for people to look at, just a narrative after the fact.

    So you now shift the goalposts from saying "no coverage" to something else entirely. And of course there were live reports of the riots.

    No media source is going to have the uninterrupted live footage that social media produces because that's a physical impossibility. Plus, you should know by now to be careful about trusting social media as your source when they already tricked you into spreading a fake story.

    No, I don't agree. The cop triggered the mess of his own crime, of which he should be held accountable. Just as the anarchists triggered the mess of their own lawlessness, of which they should be held accountable. There's no reason why one criminal act should beget hundreds of other lawless acts. Only an anarchist would think otherwise.

    Um.... I think you are off the MSM media narrative. I don't recall CNN ever calling it a riot. They called it a peaceful protest while buildings in the background.

    Can you express your opinion in something other than a meme?

    That is what I have been seeing. The scenes in LA are crazy. A couple of Black guys will be seen pulling off protective boards and grates and smash windows, as a few stand as look outs. Once they were able to create an opening, suddenly dozens of people appeared, out of seemingly nowhere, and streamed into the store. Soon cars began to arrive and the looters came out, unloaded their loot into the cars and went back in for more.

    What is almost comical is that the most common store hit, all across the country has been athletic shoe stores. By now, every single person in the hood should have a new pair of Nikes.
