George Floyd....
 
What I saw on that video is so disturbing and was so wrong.....I'm not sure but I like to think that if I was there.....and I hope I'm correct with this....I hope I would have done something even physical to have tried to stop it....at this age what would I care being arrested for that.....I hope that would have been the case with me.....that is all....:sadangel:

I'm gonna go out and loot at the TV and liquor stores, to show how much I care.

Yes, the video looked pretty horrible. Then there's all the Joe Biden voters, just doin' what they do. I feel sorry for all the business owners there. So far, about the only one arrested has been a pawn shop owner who was arrested for trying to save his store. It's crazy. i would imagine his store will be fully looted and burned to the ground while he's getting processed and bonded out.

:mad:

St. Paul, MN Police band feed.

They're looting the Foot Locker, and NAPA Auto Parts is on fire.

Listening to St. Paul scanner feed now via an app on my phone.

Attachment 44136

In just the last 20 minutes, lots and lots of shots fired. Pregnant woman assaulted resulting in a serious head injury. Fires. Rocks being thrown at police. Reports of groups of citizens standing outside their businesses with baseball bats. Police are assembling and responding in “strike teams”.

I couldn’t watch the whole video of the man being restrained. It was that terrible to me. But I just don’t understand the mentality of destroying one’s own neighborhood. :shrug:

It’s amazing, isn’t it? :crazy:

Wait until those business decide to bail and not rebuild in those neighborhoods...

Nothing says justice like a looted 70" tv......:issues:

There's a whole lotta choking that should be done. Too bad we can't trade that one lost life for about a hundred of those asshole looters.

Listening on that app too. I like how it has a “speaker”. Tried talking into it. Didn’t work. :shrug:



So much wrong here. Very sad indeed. :(

I love how they burn down their part of the town. :spdchk:

They will be labeled racists. :yesnod:

Although it certainly seems the four (former) police officers were far from handling the situation correctly, the rioters are not helping their cause.

The four were fired and it certainly seems charges will be charged against them shortly. What will be gained by destroying your own neighborhood and the businesses there? What incentive do they have to rebuild?

It's lawless out there, on a 35MPH street people are going at least 70MPH

I'm doing the law but don't get in front of me:yesnod:

EH, nothing new, I remember the Georgia Ave riots in Wash DC, circa '68.....set fire to a car dealer, many other stores, and ran all them outta the area, so nowhere to shop, so for a can of beer they had to hop a bus out to Silver Spring and pollute that area/region....
