In all seriousness, they are going to go after churches next, the catholic’s will tell them to fuck themselves and the Cof E will bend over with cheeks spread.
It all depends; Catholics tend to be evenly divided on the issues. During the 2012 election, some Catholics were saying, "You have to reelect Obama because Catholics should be pro-union and pro-immigrant," while others were saying, "You have to vote for Romney because he's pro-choice and pro-family." It's largely depending on how Catholics lean politically in a particular diocese.
Haven't we heard this sort of hyperbole for years, if not all of our lives? All black people are killed by cops, all women get raped by men, etc? It's one thing to make an exaggerated statement but these people really believe it in their hearts.
It seems to be a combination of confirmation bias and self-fulfilling prophesy. They base their beliefs on limited negative interactions and figure every interaction of that sort has to be bad. To an extent, it's understandable, but it's still faulty reasoning. And with so many people thinking something is true if they think so (Feels > Reals), that only worsens the situation and reinforces their faulty logic.
It’s good to know that simply being white means your opinion is invalidated. Keep letting that mask slip, bigots
I've seen teachers tell people that they can't have opinions about education topics if they don't have kids
. Funny how if the roles were reversed for these people, they'd be saying, "Stay in your lane" or something similar.
Edit: At that rate, I keep seeing stuff about Facebook boycotts, and I can't help but wonder why anyone would be using Facebook at all in the first place.
I'd be willing to bet most normies still on Facebook would love to see less ads there. So, the boycott may work with an opposite effect than intended.
2nd EDIT: It only took the CHOP Protesters going to Mayor Jenny's home to finally issue an executive order. Funny thing is, if CHOP stayed in that area and didn't go to her home, they might still have it.
That first page of the order looks as if she's trying to say in as long-winded a way as possible, "I didn't want to do this, really I didn't, but I had to. Please no bully now, kthx bye."
I'm 99% sure the spike we are seeing right now is directly related to or significantly contributed to by the "protests," but nobody in any position of authority or in academia will say it. They'll actively try and hide it.
They don't want to speak ill of the minorities -- the same people that before the protests they were writing about because they were being hit hard with COVID-19 at disproportionately higher rates. Places where people were risking a criminal record just for not wearing a mask/social distancing are now turning a blind eye to protestors failing to take any precautions while blaming the uptick on factors that may or may not be the primary cause.
TBF, though, some restaurants that have seen spikes have tried to enact and enforce the appropriate local restrictions only to have patrons refuse to cooperate. The blame for infections in those cases rests more with the patrons making poor decisions than the business owners that are doing all they can to follow guidelines.
Reminds me of what happened with the subburbs of Detroit when Kwame Kilpatrick was taken down for corruption. The subburbs were pissed because they were sending money to Detroit in different ways such as water bills (that Detroit controlled the pricing of) the blacks in Detroit said "its none of your business, you should have no say in Kilpatrick!" even though they were spending a ton of money to "help improve Detroit" and were being in a way taxed by the city because of how the water authority worked only to have most of that money gone to Kilpatrick's benefit.
Another example is Detroit's nonresident income tax on outsiders working inside the city. Anyone having taxes withheld for Detroit has a vested interest in knowing their money isn't being used frivolously or fraudulently. Unfortunately, though, the City vs. Suburbs divide has been difficult to overcome after being deeply entrenched for a good 3-4 decades or so.
If they were legit they shouldn't have been with the crowd (just for self preservation at the very least
The same thing happened in Detroit's initial protests that went sour before curfew was imposed. Some journalists complained about being shot at with tear gas and such or being threatened with arrest even though they were mixed in with the crowd. As I may have posted earlier in the thread, bad actors could just as easily claim they were with the press and use that brief pause as police stop to consider that claim to go attack them or cause other trouble. When things go south, the media should get to a safe place away from the crowds to avoid these problems if they can't or won't leave immediately. Then have a duty, even if it's not explicitly a legal one, to help mitigate the risk to their well-being.
