U.S. Riots of May 2020 over George Floyd and others - ITT: a bunch of faggots butthurt about worthless internet stickers

Can the President overrule the Mayor's power? Because if the National Guard isn't allowed to use lethal force, how about at least getting people to control these damn fires?

I mean, they're destroying federal property, so that ought to count for something?

Okay there is gas leaking apparently uhh..don't mind the stupid question but..is it possible for the gas lines to ignite and go boom?

Fire and explosion are fuel (eg, natural gas) + oxidizer (eg, oxygen in air) + ignition source. Properly functioning gas lines just have gas in them and don't explode, even with ignition sources.

On the other hand, there's a lot of physical damage and heat going on, and that can compromise structural integrity and disperse gas into the air. At that point it's fuel finely mixed with oxidizer, and that is explosive as fuck. The better-mixed the fuel and oxidizer, the more energy per unit mass, and the more fuel involved, the bigger the explosion.

tl;dr - the lines themselves are fine, but any situation with physical damage has a lot of risk added via damaged gas lines.

Guys, if things get bad between China and the US due to WuFlu, we should just send the “protesters” to China. They’re (almost) as effective as nukes.

It might hold, the corners of a building are the strongest part.

That column on the corner has to be steel. It will weaken due to the heat, but will it be enough for building collapse kino?

Oh and the neighboring building is completely fucked now. I wonder if some of the nearby buildings will also start burning.

Pretty sure he can. Eisenhower called in the national guard to enforce integration against the wishes of Arkansas' governor and Little Rock's mayor.

They did already. NG protecting fire dept in one area

at this point all power lies with the governor, the feds may not be able to intervene until things get much much worse like the rioters crossing state lines to enrich the surrounding states

I mean, they're destroying federal property, so that ought to count for something?

Man the amount of effort to NOT do shit is annoying.

This is probably another 4D chess move by joggers, there can't be a lockdown if there is no house left, and no buisenesses / supermarket to gather at. Smh.

The burning building everyone has been showing on WOKE stream according to some streamer was a combination of a law office and a "checks and debit cards place" if I heard him correctly. So it probably isn't related to anyone's shelter.

I'd pay money to see Xi give one iota of a damn what some liberals in Seattle think about him being racist as he cleans his streets up with a smile.

Okay that is good.

Edit : Is there a worst case scenario for leaking gas main near a burning building?

it will sound like a jet engine blowing a fucking tuba though.

Is there a worst case scenario for leaking gas main near a burning building?

If it burns hot enough, it could cause some chemical shit to happen. Carcinogenic, poisonous gas clouds. Stuff like that.

US and China have agreed upon an exchange of US Communist and Chinese Democratic Protesters with stipulations that we must hand over Kobe Bryant (shut up they dont know yet chinese firewall lmao)

I love how hundreds of buildings on fire or damaged and mass looting is called "heated protests" by Twitter and the New York Times.
