Not you, Scolopendra
I don’t like fascism though
i think its a shame that the community got rekt, because that financial damage will cost a lot of people jobs, even though im not pro-capitalist, its gonna hurt the community. also a lot of innocent people were hurt in the riots
but it woudlnt have happened if george floyd wasnt killed
George floyd's death was not a race based death
Do you know what fascism is by any chance
And to assert such a claim is idiotic
George Floyd's death was a direct result of police incompetence
maybe it wasn't, however it was police misconduct
and african americans already face discrimination from the police
so its understandable why it was percieved as racially motivated
to a community that experiences a lot of that
Perception does not equal truth
whatever motivation: the police killed someone and sparked national riots
thoughts?
You gotta view things from outside the box in order to get the correct angle on the situation
not us leftists
it was a cop
I support protests. I do not support riots
Yes. A cop kneeled on the neck of George Floyd. Did that cop deserve to be fired? Absolutely. Did the entire police prescient deserve to go up in flames or get destroyed? No
The riots were reactionary though. Saying Antifa incited anything isn’t correct. If anything, Antifa just joined the party.
I do not support arson, theft, assault, and other forms of violent and/or other belligerent activities as a means of pushing a political agenda.
Antifa is full of opportunists who use these scenarios to go out and cause violence
so are white supremacist groups and trump supporting groups
so are right wing libertarian groups
I think the Antifa comments were more about the west coast riots this year than George Floyd. We just skipped into this as a part of damage from riots. Some Antifa members went to Minneapolis and to DC to try and capitalize on the anger to try and get the police defunded
so are police tbh
Were they solely responsible? No. Does that mean they're innocent? No.
George Floyd Overdoesed.
@saw17 aren’t you the white nationalist kid
George Floyd did not die of an overdose.
The autospy revealed he had been taking drugs.
That doesn’t mean he died of an overdose
@saw17 I smoke weed every day, doesn’t mean that if I die, it’s from cannibas
At least he died where he wanted: on the ground instead of in the car.
@meeb when, if ever, is violence justifiable in order to achieve political reform?
im an anti-fascist, idk what "antifa" is, I didnt incite any riots. the urban black community in this city started rioting, not all of them, but a significant sum of younger black people. then, a lot of white people, hispanics, asians, and others joined them for ideology or opportunist (siezing goods from capitalists) reasons or both. i guess black people are anti-fascists... but not in the sense you're thinking
They should have just locked his ass in the cruiser and left him.
i assume you arent pro fascist either?
Well.. actually
