For years we have heard these gun nuts
Sep 1, 2020, 2:58 PM
|

railing against confiscation of guns and stating that if their protests don't work, they'll start shooting the imaginary gun confiscators.
But let black people protest against racial injustice, it falls on deaf ears, so they start rioting and all of a sudden those gun nuts can't understand it.
It's because you don't want to understand it.
What comes after protesting when protesting doesn't grab the attention it deserves?

you're old enough to know you just want to strawman so you can act like systematic racism in this country doesn't exist.
Not taking the bait

That’s what I thought...

You’re just spouting the Dem talking points without a clue what they mean.
Another question: Which of our Systems or Govmt Entities are racist as you claim?
Don’t chicken out....

that one situation remains suppositional and the other is demonstrated.

He's a school teacher.

The probability that he understood that is...no wait. I'm not dissing school teachers again.

What deaf ears?
Sep 1, 2020, 3:09 PM
|

You mean police departments that actively had their budgets slashed. Training classes were cancelled.
Numerous corporations made donations to black causes and justice/defense funds.
Numerous police officers involved in these incidents were immediately terminated (often times violating union rules).
BLM was added to numerous corporate email signatures and websites.
Those deaf ears?
If that's not progress, what is 'enough' to not justify rioting/looting/violence?

The riots have far little to do with black people protesting racial injustice and much more about 20-something, nerdish white kids, who have abandoned their skateboards to follow a misguided belief that donning all black somehow gives them some moral high ground and physical toughness. I'd be willing to bet you could not get any two of these lowlife, loser, dregs of society to give you a consistent, coherent answer as to why they're breaking and burning stuff. I will give them credit for choosing locations with left-leaning leadership who is either inclined to allow it or impotent to stop it. Hopefully the few that actually get arrested will do some jail time. Maybe they can impress their new inmate friends with their tales of mischief.

The attention protests deserve?

They get way more attention than is warranted now.

The protesting did not fall on deaf ears.

Tim Scott, a republican, sponsored a bill on police reform. The only ear which was deaf to that piece of legislation was Pelosi's. Trump supported it. She wouldn't put it on the floor for discussion and debate. I can only think of two reasons.
Either she didn't want to give Trump a win or she wanted to make it a campaign issue and hold black America hostage.
If there's another possibility, unlike Pelosi, I believe we are open to discuss or debate it.

That bill failed to pass in the Senate, 55 to 45.

Nancy Pelosi is in the House of Representatives and can't pass bills in the Senate. Democrats in the Senate felt the bill didn't go far enough.

I believe 20 compromises were offered on the Scott bill.

Democrats wanted to end qualified immunity.
Sep 1, 2020, 3:51 PM
|
|
“The qualified immunity line is not one we’re going to cross,” Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) has previously told Politico.
"From the Republican perspective, and the president has sent a signal that qualified immunity is off the table. They see that as a poison pill on our side," Sen. Tim Scott said on "Face the Nation." "We can use the decertification of officers, except for the law enforcement unions say that's a poison pill."

I'm sorry, but that is total horse sheet...

How can you say the peaceful protests didn't "grab any ears". That statement is so far from reality that I'm honestly at a loss for words.
There is no excuse for the rioting and looting. None. I guarandamntee you that a good chunk of the people rioting and looting and so no are not doing it to achieve political reform and call attention to racial problems...they're doing it because they either see it as an excuse to riot or they believe in some anarchal world view.
The fact of the matter is that the rioting and looting take the focus OFF of the racial complaints and turn everything into a law and order debate. Good people working to effect change know that.
