We've gone from record low unemployment, record high stock market, best economy ever and the country doing incredibly well to record high unemployment, destroyed economy, people locked down and not allowed to travel, and rioting/looting in less than three months. Between the government's overreaction to the virus and some people thinking violence is an accepted form of protest this country is hurting. Never thought I'd see anything like that.

There is no valid reason for that, just stupid lame excuses. Over 50 black people have been murdered in Jacksonville, FL so far this year. Almost all young black males killed by young black males. Where's the outrage over those lost lives? Where are the protests? Where are the politicians and activists with their "help?" Oh, yeah, those lost lives don't matter. |

Sorry, I’d prefer not to have these type conversations. We all have our own thoughts. I’d rather keep it light. Sorry for bringing it up. |

I know you wouldn't but I'd have my family in the basement and arm myself, if they fired on my home again I would return fire. |

The blame goes to uneducated people that don't give a damn about George Floyd or any other Black person judging by the thousands of Murders in the inner cities every year. Just an excuse to steal, loot and destroy property and act like animals.It happens every time a Black man get's mistreated. Same thing happened with Rodney King. And let's not forget katrina. Probably 95% of the people looting and destroying property are the Democratic's love children that vote for them every election and their lifestyle still hasn't change in over a half a century. Asian's, Hispanics, whites and other races that get abused or killed by police officers don't loot and burn down their part of town. I'am tired of the victim mentality. No people in this world have been more abused and killed in almost every nation than the Jews for the last 2,000 years, but somehow they succeed in almost every field. This country was so divided between the Blacks and other races before, now it's divided even farther. And that you'll NEVER hear from the Media. |

One question: If the officer who knelt on George Floyd was black would we be seeing widespread rioting, looting and destruction of property? I think we all know the answer to that, which says a whole lot. I was raised to respect other people, including their lives and property. Some people aren't raised with those values. That fault doesn't lie with law enforcement, it lies with their families (or lack thereof). FAR more black people are killed every year (hell, every day) by other black people, mostly in inner cities, than by cops. We see no outrage, no news, no protests, or anything else in reaction to all those deaths. Why is that? |
