    Why wasn't there any tear gas used? Banned in Springfield?

    Would It ? - Well it doesn't - By their own System the Crimes were determined to be EQUAL

    Each had a single misdemeanor on his record and tallied the same point total on scoresheets
    used to determine incarceration time. Based on their score of 138 points, the states guidelines
    called for a sentence of just under seven years to life in prison. Both Crimes were determined
    ..... to be equal by the Florida Point System - (so YOU better try HARDER next time.)

    All the squirming by YOU and the authorities to try and get around that simple FACT only makes
    ......................................................the Rot & Corruption that blisters up in this case, Stink all the worse

    As part of some sort of internal system review about discriminatory sentencing? If so, then okay. It means that it's clearly discriminatory and a complete disgrace.

    Well in this particular case in Lafayette Park, it's the US Secret Service that @LangleyMan seems to want to run! :roflol:

    Okay, but they didn't. This doesn't mean that the protesters were cleared for a photo op. That's a conspiracy theory.

    Sorry, this is Trump's followers that you're talking about?

    And yet Democrats haven't criticised him for it.

    And Democrat cities have NOT opened up some businesses that had their operations limited?

    You suspect wrongly. Not least because it wasn't even me who used the words! See below:

    I didn't ask you to research anything! If you had a good reason for why there have been no CDC leaks, you would have done so by now having already done some research! If you genuinely believed that "Trump has limited the CDC providing information to the public" then you would be wondering why there have been ZERO leaks! :roflol:

    Birx fought back yesterday. She is between a pebble and a hard place.

    You don't have to be an economist to think this through.

    Aggregate demand is comprised of consumer spending (about 70%), business spending, government spending, and exports less imports. There's a huge hole in consumer spending because a lot of people are unemployed, others are afraid they may lose their jobs or have reduced hours, and more are afraid because of the virus to go out shopping, visit a restaurant, bar, etc. Still more are holding off spending in areas like travel in the hope future years will see better opportunities. Businesses are spending less for plant and equipment to conserve cash and as a response to reduced consumer and business demand.

    If government doesn't step up with spending of its own, and direct help to unemployed workers and business, we're going to have a steep downturn. We're looking into the economic abyss and Republicans are holding down government spending at exactly the wrong time. This looks more and more like a rerun on the period 1930-33.

    We didn't recover fully from the Great Depression until WW2. Why? Because Democrats employed too many people in unproductive make work jobs.
    Democrats are talking about redistributing income through government spending and taxing, not collectivizing production. If you stop government from temporary spending now and we have a depression, you could bring about real socialism as people lose faith in capitalism.
    I was an economist. Am I wasting time warning you about the potential economic disaster? Probably.

    You don't have to spend half your life in University to understand that if there is no work there is a recession/depression. You also don't need a masters in political science to see that what you describe is what the DNC is working toward and they don't care how much damage they do if they can realize their ultimate goal.

    Street protests aren't my style, but blocking traffic is not looting, burning buildings, and assaulting police.

    I can see I was wasting my time. If you had taken even a high school economics class from an economist (not a liberal social studies teacher), you would understand what I was telling you.
    You're spouting propaganda. Democrats are redistributionists, not socialists.

    The two at the top didn't fight back, the two at the bottom did.

    Well, then Trump put his foot in it by following behind the street clearing for a photo op.

    Yes, they have.
    Some businesses remain closed, or their operations modified, for good reason. Clubs with dancing and drinking are disasters waiting to happen.
