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

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

Just a reminder about Minnesota's recent political history and how it's leanings in the 2020 election might influence the leftwing narrative going forward even if Trump loses the presidency.

In 2016 Trump lost a plurality by 1.5%, It was the closest battle for the state since Reagan narrowly lost it in 84 and behind him the closest a Republican had come to winning in 4 decades.

I personally believe the riots are helping Trump nationally, but even just taking into account the close margin last time it seems like the state is very much in play. Jill Stein took 1.26% of the vote while the conservatives McMullin and Johnson took 1.80% and 3.84 respectively, and it seems like third party candidates are a lot less relevant this time.

Additionally Minnesota had the highest voter turnout (75%) in the nation in 2016, a year where the national turnout wasn't noteworthy, so not a lot of head room unless this election has truly unprecedented turnout. And Trump only won about a 1/5 of the Republican caucus votes prior to the election that year.

I've personally met a few MN voters who regret their mcmuffin vote (which they only did because Hillary was a "sure thing") - I expect turd parties in general to be down this time around across the board, or at least in battleground states.

Yep, hence why they want to disband the police force and bring in postal voting.

I was thinking about something, with regard to these protests and the shit that can happen at them, and Floyd himself.

You guys realize that someone could go to a protest with like a small ziplock bag full of powdered Fentanyl, throw the contents up into the air, and kill dozens? 2 mg is a fatal dose and people would probably inhale that much in a matter of seconds. The more I think about it, the more I'm really surprised it hasn't happened yet. Maybe not at these protests but somewhere. The attacker could just use narcan and good skin and breathing protection to basically get away scott free, and anyone coming to try and help would likely overdose as well. Its shockingly dangerous when you think about it.

Honestly I'd rather be deployed to some shitfuck country where the local warlords lob sarin mortars at each other than be some schmuck near a hypothetical fentanyl grenade. At least I would be MOPP Ready in the former scenario and someone would have an ATNAA nearby.
You're fucked if you are anywhere near the fent cloud tho. Most normal folk don't carry narcan and those abnormals who do wouldn't have enough.

On the off chance you're not a glowie: there are many ways someone could kill protesters. That being said, doing so would be stupid. We're all sick of BLM but killing protesters would not only be a tragedy that would inevitably land the perpetrator in prison, it would make BLM look GOOD. They would use the murders to claim victimhood and this time, they would be right.

So for the typical Twitter user, is BLM purely performative at this point?

Haven't seen this posted yet. This is the missing footage of the Floyd arrest. Judge for yourself, but it's clear he's extremely intoxicated, belligerent, and resisting getting in the truck.

Want to know the coolest result of defunding the police is going to be? Your brand new privatized security contract!

I hope you like paying bills because for the low low price of, I don't know, your cable bill, your apartment complex will now provide you the number to Lone Star Protections. So if you're scared of your boyfriend accusing you of cheating and wanting to bust into your apartment you can call a private firm who has no problem authorizing a private citizen to go and shoot him. (If they're not too busy).

Lone Star officer gets taped? It's cool, Lone Star takes no liability and will just fire his ass too, even if he shoots your dumb ass for screaming too loud. Besides whatever massive holding company that owns Lone Star probably has a couple of buddies in the media that will take care of the bad press. Better hope it gets posted on the Kiwi Farms or something, lol.

All 3 social spectrums of our society are gonna get in on this. Private Security contracts for the overworld rich fucks, militias for the middle class, and gangs/mobs for the underworld.

Well, as far as numbers go, yeah it's a good ratio. But it's people's lives.

I've always felt strongly that police need to be reformed, specifically training, salary, benefits, counseling. I think trying to come up with a "good" number isn't the point, I think we need to work on getting the number down, and getting other (positive) numbers up. This is all nonsense now of course, the police have been demonized to such a degree that social media is ablaze with idiots claiming anything with a cop is problematic (i.e. Into the Spider-Verse... Miles' dad is a cop, but they are black, so people are torn).

Reformed how, exactly? The strong majority of people killed "by police" are shot in the act of attempting to kill the police officer or someone else or die from crashing their vehicle while fleeing the consequences of their own poor behavior. The number of people that due to abuse or authority or neglect on the part of police is less than 100 in the US.

Only one legitimate case comes to mind where US police fucked up and reform would be necessary: that incident in Florida where they ventilated a car and killed some innocent people. I can't remember the exact details, but that could have been handled differently.

Big Flyod killed Big Flyod. Don't get fucked up on ups and downs at the same time, then commit crime, then resist arrest. Had his crew driven off before the police arrived he would have died before they got home.

As long as the middle class can have militias, gotta take care of those terrorist groups too. Then the middle class can pay for a... less expensive private security package.

That much fentanyl is not cheap to acquire or manufacture. Fetanyl requires real industrial chemical experience to make. It's not something easily cooked in a home lab. Far easier to make an explosive from easily acquired things like tannerite etc.

The rich and left are still gonna get salty about militias "UGH UUHHHHHGHGHGH! YOU CANT DO THAT JuSt CaLl THE COPS!!"

The reality of the situation is that the economic shutdown wasn't as bad as expected, Corona virus wasn't as bad as expected, the unemployment stimulus $600 bonus worked, and many of the lost jobs will come back as America returns to normal. Markets are forward looking projections, and frankly the Corona virus lock-downs probably didn't really affect the 500 or even 2000 biggest companies' future outlook in America that much.

If anything, these riots prove Americans are ready to get back out again, which could be taken as a positive sign for the market.

edit: remember that mom & pop shops are private equity rather than public, so their success and failure is only loosely and indirectly reflected by the stock market. Also, major indices used by most financial normies as benchmarks tend to track only the largest companies

Mom'n'Pop shops are the bulk of the economy.

Guess we don’t need any statues of MLK Jr. then.

They are already shitting on MLK for being nonviolent.

"We need a peaceful march into the White House and paint it black to prove that prejudice is over. Police are scum who need to be replaced with a camera system and robots. Floyd was scum and probably would have killed the cops if they hadn't restrained him. White House is called that to keep black people out. Cops have no right to touch or talk to people. They should deal with everything by mail. All the judges are fags because they spend so long in school surrounded by other men."

Unless their robots are something like ED-209, it won't work.

They're a weird bunch for sure. It's top leadership is dominated by negro Marxist lesbians but their shock troops are mainly black separatists and Muslims. Shaun King is a white dude Larping as a nigger and they're funded by billionaire Jews. In normal times these people would have nothing to do with each other but they're joined together by a shared hatred for whitey.

Do BLM and Antifa intersect in any way? It seems like many on both sides have similar ideologies. Some form of communism/marxism behind identitarian politics.

 

[muh_moobs]

Jeremiah Ellison said immediately after the rally that the city council plans to have conversations with citizens for a year before taking any real action. The councilmembers also admit they don’t know who would investigate murders and other violent crimes.

Tucker asked important questions about Keith Ellison tonight, but missed the obvious one: why would Ellison want unarmed responses to domestic violence calls? His son is armed, so it’s likely he is too.

They both hate white people, and are useful idiots for the (((ruling class))).

They consider each other allies. The average street level chimp might distrust white antifa members smashing shit but the more woke politically minded activists know that they're working for the same ends.

Looks like we are getting close to 1 trillion in pledges combined to "BLM" from big corps. 1 trillion... and nothing will come of it. Wonder what would happen if you took the top few people from multiple career markets?

Like a few of America's best computer scientists, a few of the best research scientists, best biologists, maybe throw a few of the top accountants and finance guys in there too.. stick em in a big building and then hand them 1 trillion... Jordan Peterson said it best once: "We are not built on a hierarchy of patriarchy, but a hierarchy of competence." Just imagine putting 1 trillion into the hands of the competent. What would happen? What would we get from it? But instead we get.....

The Fed gave these cunts 4.3 trillion dollars, and they're all going to use a chunk of it (not a trillion, lol) to buy themselves a government that won't make them use the money to repatriate industry. It's a predictable move.
