    Heh. I am not taking responsibility for this mess of a country, that lies with you boomers. Thanks for making a huge shit sandwich of a mess and the bailing on it. Typical of a boomer mentality.

    Fortunately I am well positioned in the right part of the country and work in a booming already prosperous sector of the economy that is only going upwards. I will be fine. The country is another story.

    Pallets of bricks 'randomly' appear during protests in NYC, Kansas City, Dallas and North Carolina sparking theories they were planted by cops or extremists to stoke violence

    Looks as though the bricks were already there in most cases. People only started noticing them when the protests started. I read the bricks in Dallas belonged to the city for a project they had going. The brick in New York were in front of some Jewish organizations and were vehicle barricades...stones in rebar boxes.

    Most of the rioting and looting has calmed down. Whatever happened to 1st ammendment rights that allow for people to protest?

    What's the matter Cujo, are they getting a little too "uppity" for you?

    I guess he's kinda hamstrung by the dictates of diplomacy and all that but the cynic in me thinks that pause was all a little bit too much stage managed.

    I can't find the video but on the news this morning, masked riot police just walked up to this guy and shoved him backwards. He landed on the pavement, sustained a head injury which appeared to render him unconscious and make him bleed. The last they heard he was taken to hospital.

    The perpetrators did nothing to help him.

    I would imagine a fat fucking lawsuit will be heading their way.

    If only the stupid, fat, bald orange wanker had read the constitution.

    First Amendment. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    Do as I say not as I do.

    The long standing and subliminal hypocrisy.
    Quite accepted is the general police state for us - yet, we'll righteously point the accusing fingers at one of them [usually one of the traditional and invented boogieman].

    'Seriously, what a bunch of coonts. he should be charged with assault and failure to render assistance at the least. Same goes for the senior officer who told them to leave him there and keep moving.
    Video here too from the other side right where the old guy was.

    Here's another one. Tackled hard from behind with his hands in the air.
    The cops are just determined to prove the protesters case it seems.

    what on earth was that old guy thinking.

    walking up to and confronting an advancing line of armed american policemen known for their thuggery and brutality.

    did he as a white man believe the liberal media that push the line that american policemen in their racist mindset will only brutalise people of colour but when confronted with a white person will treat them with respect and honour?

    if so he is very much mistaken.

    the american police are driven by extreme macho and the brotherhood of brutality that defines them. they are quite happy to intimidate anyone who steps in their way, irrespective of colour, knowing that they will be protected by their superiors and more often than not, the judicial system.

    i suspect his intentions were solely to provoke and elicit a reaction from the advancing line of police..... in which case he succeeded.


    its also strange that very few of the media reports about this have mentioned that he is white, had this been a person of colour, the headlines would have screamed it and the streets would have been full of protesters within an hour. i dont hear of any white protests related to this incident of police brutality against a white man, or even of any black protests related to this incident.

    As 95% are recruited from a militarism background and aspects, thereof.
    There reflects the underlying problem.
    Apologists for historied repressive policing system need not apply.

    Protect and serve the crown [metaphoric sense]

    What might Dr. Strangelove say.

    Interesting. I wonder how many blacks are feeling a little conflicted by this? (apparently it's getting wide publicity)
