Some whack job piece of #### murders a kid and you blame every liberal in America for it and say they deserve violence in return.
Hey, you know how when a nutjob shoots up a school, and all the leftists try to blame the NRA and GOP and every conservative for it, but we all know that's stupid to place that blame on them because at the end of the day, people are responsible for their actions and bad people are just gonna do bad things? Yeah, you know how idiotic they are for blaming all those groups?
Exactly. If someone takes George Floyd's death and comes to the conclusion that all cops are bad, that's moronic. Blame the cops who did it, and make the necessary changes to keep people like them from getting in those positions again.
You couldn't be more correct but that's not what happens. The media and politicians paint with that broad brush to advance narratives which are false and stoke resentment. This sad case just highlights it.
Do you have an example of a major media outlet/politician calling all cops bad or blaming all of them for George Floyd? I'd like to see it, and they're wrong if they did it.
Do they literally say "all cops are bad"? No. Do you dispute that every time a police officer kills a black person it isn't covered and commented upon continuously? Do you dispute that there ia a narrative advanced, even when the facts show otherwise (e.g. Michael Brown "hands up"), that cops - particuarly white ones - are targeting and murdering black men in the streets?
I disagree that the media are pushing a narrative that cops are targeting and trying to murder black men in the streets. I've yet to see one source where they suggest that this is an intentional, orchestrated effort. But I'll entertain examples.
I know where you are going with it, and I think the media does fuel the fire. You sure he isn't schizophrenic or with some nutty disorder though? Also, you can also pass a lot of blame on conservatives. You guys are how we got here in the first place.
It's almost a good argument to compare me blaming libs for this and suggesting all cops are bad since one killed George Floyd.
Here's the difference.
What the left is doing is TRANSFORMING the nation. Changing the culture of the country. Changing what kids learn and think. The MSM is a propaganda machine. People marching and chanting "kill cops." Wrap music saying this and worse. All this emanates from the left, and it is all vectored in ONE direction.
Logic tells you all cops are not bad because of one incident. And, it makes sense because we know there is not a public campaign teaching cops to kill unarmed black men.
And, logic might also tell you one incident like this does not point to a specific problem with the left. And, I agree maybe this is a random nut job and does not represent any particular group or line of thinking. I concede that.
However, the difference is this event falls into place with what the left has generated and supports. Right? The NC governor said "property is not important" as rioters were destroying private property in downtown Raleigh. Effectively, he gave permission to riot.
The whole national scene is now about people doing what they want (based on absolutely stupid rationale) and law and order being suspended. We know the one-off nut-jobs do not define a movement. But I assert that what we (people with common sense) used to call nut-jobs now make up a lot of the progressive, leftists movement.
The problem with the media is that are acting like it is still 1965 and they are all paranoid overly PC. That said, there are still issues, but way overblown. You can't be critical or you will lose your job.
In your OP, you blamed this death on all liberals in America. You didn't discern any one specific group. Just all liberals. That's millions of people, and since you're one of the people on this board who has labeled anyone who doesn't like Trump as a liberal, that means to YOU, the definition is just anyone who doesn't agree with you.
You also called for violent retribution against that group of liberals. There isn't a universe anywhere where that makes sense logically or has any leg to stand on.
When you take the actions of one terrible person and try to blame those actions on groups of people or entities or objects, it cheapens the discussion and people lose sight of what the actual truth is: A terrible person did something horrible, and he alone is responsible for his actions. Thus, he alone must be punished. That is how our justice system works. That's how it SHOULD work. ######, horrible justice systems long before America used to use the logic you are employing here.
When a bad person shoots up a school or a church, the bad person is to blame. Not guns. Not the NRA. Not conservatives. Not the GOP.
When a bad cop murders a man on camera, that bad cop is to blame. Not all cops.
When a POS walks across the street and murders a little kid, he is to blame. Not liberals. Not the media.
That is the way the world works. If you still don't think so, and you still want to blame millions of other people and wish violence upon them because of it, go ahead and pour a nice tall bourbon (even though it's 9:30 in the morning), watch the birds out your window, and self reflect.
That this POS who killed the kid was watching the news and just suddenly said, "You know what? I'm gonna go cap a little white boy today. I wasn't going to, but MSNBC convinced me to do it by reporting on these riots."
You really think that's how it went down?
So when Dylann Roof shot up the church, did you blame every person who flies a Confederate flag or is a member of the NRA?
Have you missed the part where I'm not blaming all cops for what happened? And that's an absurd comparison since X is claiming the media made this guy do it. Are you trying to ask me if I think coffee made them do it?
You don't REALLY believe what you've posted, right?

I understand there are some people that may actually think that way but don't think there can possibly be that many. Deep in your heart is this what you believe?
If so try to swim to Europe one time. Do society a favor.
No, the guy who pulled the trigger is totally responsible.

I'm not one to try and transfer blame, responsibility or accountability. I wouldn't do it for you, myself or anyone else. If you hold the gun and someone dies it's all on you.
That, 'The debil made me do it,' chit don't float.
