Yeah I’m seeing that. Part of me wonders if there really is a gas leak or if that is just what is being pushed by the city to get people to disperse. The police, who’s actions incited this, have long since cut tail and run.

Maybe a few will get blown up so you can blame it on the cops.

So when a black persons robs or kills a white person they should start killing and looting black neighborhoods? It’s funny I cann watch the first 48 on tv where black upon black endlessly kills one another and there’s never a riot.

That isn't the issue. The issue is that a government official murdered someone in cold blood and thought he could get away with it. I disagree with the destruction of private property, however I do not disagree with the motives behind the protests.

What also disturbs me is why this despicable cop thought he could get away with it. Maybe he knew that the system is so unbelievably corrupt, rigged in his favor, and that his buddies would stick up for him again.

The businesses getting looted had nothing to do with the man's death. The people having their property destroyed had nothing to do with the man's death. Lawlessness isn't the way to protest against the police. What those police officers did to that man was 100% wrong, and they deserve to go to jail. I have no problem with a peaceful protest to push that message. But using it as an excuse to steal a new TV or whatever is false outrage. Hell, it just encourages police to beat more people up. So idiotic.

I dont think Ras was saying it was a good thing. He was just giving his take on where society is.

It's the young man, old man scenario. When you are young you have no fear of death cause you have nothing to lose. When you are old you are way more cautious because you have worked hard and dont want to lose these things.

The Michigan crowd all probably owned cars, owned homes, took vacations.

This crowd is clearly much less financially secure. They have zero to lose.

The problem is this country is getting damn expensive. Homes are starting off around 400k now in metro Nashville. Yes, all of us on this sight can easily afford that but this forum probably is close to the norm for medium salaries as we are all politic nerds. The average person today cant afford a new home.

I am 44. My parents didnt have a cellphone bill, cable bill, internet tv, mortgages that are thousands of dollars, 2 car payments because both HAD to work to survive. Now we do and incomes have not gone up to make the increase in cost of living.

We are a country living so far above our means credit card debt is just normal for most folks. The country is a pressure cooker anymore with many, many who see no bright light at the end of the tunnel. They are hopeless.

Materialism has absolutely destroyed this country.

You think the rioters down there have their ear pieces in listening to CNN?

Well just wtf are they supposed to do at this point? Open fire on them? Run them over with an armored assault vehicle? Napalm? 🙄
