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

[Spiteful Crow]

It's a legitimately fascinating situation. Support for conservative law and order grows every time ANTIFA breaks a window or burns a dumpster. The younger generation is significantly less retarded than we are, and most of the troublemakers like Pelosi and Soros are extremely elderly.

I'm just not seeing the reasons for doom and gloom. This is an extremely small and loud minority that is actively laying the groundwork for their own destruction.

Start an anonymous social media account and post videos of antifa wrecking shit. The video that consistently gets views is of the ANTIFA dudes screaming at an old lady as she crosses the road. Reposting that video all over the place never fails to generate hatred for ANTIFA and you're doing more damage to them with a video than you ever will with a gun.

The only possible way of uniting us again would be another 9/11, at least then people would set aside every prejudice and pettiness they have to be there for others, but I don't think that's coming anytime soon.

Maybe the countries that get f-ed by China might try something, specifically the African ones or the Islamic ones that support the Uyghurs, like a big one would be if they attack Hollywood because they'd accuse them of supporting China, therefore supporting their oppression. But that's an unlikely scenario and probably won't happen except in those weird alternate history sites.

Call me a doomer, but I think that the proposed reaction to something like this is WILDLY optimistic. I don't think you'd see nearly as much unity as you did back in 2001.

Maybe if something like that happened again, instead of unity, there'd be an exodus. The rich might try to migrate to Europe or China, while the protesters/rioters would try to escape into Canada instead of staying to fight.

Maybe, maybe, I just want hope in our current situation. Or maybe I'm just overreacting, I'm sorry if I am, it's just that I don't want this country to be divided so god damn much over this.

There's no reason to be sorry for wanting that. I admit that I'm pretty blackpilled in general usually so I'm biased with my assessment. I just think that so much has happened between the societal shift, the political shift, the demographic shift and the Silent and Boomer generations and their influence dying off (in a literal sense too), I don't know how the US would react to something like that. I'm not saying it would be mainstream to be like "Fuck yeah! Crash that shit!" but I just can't imagine that there'd be this 'togetherness' that there was post-9/11. Shit, I'm semi-joking here, but I wouldn't be shocked to see some articles a week later talking about how women were most affected because 30% of the victims were female or how PoC's were underrepresented/over represented (whichever way they'd want to spin that for media and Progressive purposes) lol.

I want to be optimistic that America would somehow have a comeback that brings us union in this nation, "The land of the free." I guess it's not so free as I would like to think, since people are willing to oppress for even the slightest out of line comment you make. These people don't care about America, they care about an idealized America that will never be. They want to make America a "utopia" where everyone is as open as the wind and strict like Nazi Germany. Besides, they care more about themselves rather than the people they supposedly help or they hurt, they care about what's right to them and the media is behind them on this since the media openly agrees with this notion and are willing to manipulate everything into their narrative. Media was supposed to be unbiased, but now since politics have infected it, now it's fucked. You can't have an opinion anymore, cause if you do, you run the risk of getting run over by "Woke Twitter" or ResetEra, or other forms of open communication. It's sickening what has happened in this country, to quote what I said in the Smash community thread, "There are no real winners, only suffers of a larger problem."

If that "happened" now, instead of "blaming" Muslims, they'd blame Whitey.
In fact, if you get any 9/11, it will be a "White" "terror attack".

You'd also have to suspend disbelief, everything you've learned from the past few years of CIA and FBI fuckery and magic up a heavy dose of fantasy to believe any of those things were genuine "Muslim" terror attacks and not heavily funded spectacles.

Well, well, what a fucking twist to the story about the incident in Long Island.

Some of us lost that suspension of disbelief nearly 19 years ago. (how many even realize where the political connotation of the 'red pill' even originated?)

[ThatOneLurker]

Okay this is a bit unrelated guys, but I think I just fucking heard that Trump is giving clemency to Roger Stone? Is there a thread for discussion of this or has anyone else heard anything else about this?

 

[Rohan Davey]

LOL, there's supposed to be an "H" in "straight"

You could make a pretty good coffee table/having a poop book with just pics of the spelling goofs, during these riots. I did like the FUCK THE RITCH, or whatever it was, someone posted yesterday.

Bunch of fucking morans.

By this logic, instead of just threatening to shoot, they should have just opened fire. The protestors broke through a clearly demarcated barrier complete with a no-tresspassing sign. The homeowners were in their rights to shoot them under Missouri's castle doctrine. If showing forbearance and not unloading is to be punished then the only proper and legal solution to this issue is to unload the entire magazine into the crowd the next time this happens.

I really don't like the Brandishing laws, especially when they are applied in this way. You remove critical steps in the escalation ladder by requiring the only role of a gun is either as a hidden threat, or an actual and active threat. If you criminalize the deterrent factor, then you insure the only time guns will be used is to kill people. But if that is the society you want to live in, then every concealed carry person in America should not show they have a gun before shooting someone dead. They should just whip that sucker out and gun em down without warning.

Cuz thats okay, right?

Legally speaking, yes the only role of a gun (or rather lethal force) is in response to a reasonable, imminent threat to life or limb (typically worded as "grievous bodily harm"). You aren't generally allowed to threaten lethal force against someone you don't reasonably believe is actively about to kill/seriously inure you. About as close as you can legally get is (without gun drawn) warning that you will defend yourself with appropriate force if the person you're warning hasn't yet made themselves such a threat.

Actually pulling your weapon without a (reasonable) belief that your life/limb are in danger is legally viewed as escalating force, which is illegal, hence brandishing laws.

Warning shots, pulling and threatening but not firing, etc... can actually be used as evidence that you were not in fear for your life when you pulled because if you did believe you were, you'd have shot the threat.

AFAIK that's the law in all 50 states (roughly). Some states are more lenient than others with how often they'll prosecute for brandishing. It really depends on the situation. Someone trying to rob you, you usually won't go down (a jury won't convict in that case 9.9/10 times anyways). Mere trespassers (even in castle doctrine states), protesters, guy on the street just threatening to kick your ass (but not kill you)...you're probably going to be prosecuted unless maybe it's a rural area. In a city, especially a democrat-controlled city, you're probably going to prison.

As far as the "world I want to live in", that has no bearing on the world I do live in. Don't know why you decided to make it personal against me like I wrote the laws. I'm just someone that very much has to know the ins and outs when I can/cannot pull my firearm if I want to avoid going to prison.

The 'Red Pill' comes from The Matrix, made by a couple of dudes who trooned out. So it's likely the original meaning was discovering you're really a woman and so you need to cut your tallywacker off, dock your Drain Todger, etc.

All we have to do is put our foot down and stand up for what we believe in. Is that naive? Maybe, but it pisses me off to no end to think our only option right now is to sit back and just wait for the end to come.

"just stand up for what you believe!" is cope for naive children

i've said it before - the enemy has all the institutional power in the world, and uses it to its fullest extent against you in order to make it impossible for you to affect the system from within.
debate and public discourse? get canceled and deplatformed. you will achieve nothing.
activism? media will either black you out or crucify you, so you will achieve nothing.
elections? media will run smear campaigns, state bureaucracy will hinder and sabotage you at every opportunity, plus organized large scale demographic replacement through mass immigration works against you. you will achieve nothing.

you are effectively locked out and excluded from the system entirely. all civil or peaceful means to influence the system are controlled entirely by the enemy, you can't use any of them.

 

[Lady Adjani]

This shit is mostly over I feel. There's still leftist tards running around in liberal hellholes like Portland but the news and the media has moved on. The only upcoming worrying thing is the Seattle budget with the shitty council trying to defund 50% of the police budget. So far places like Minneapolis, Portland and New York have failed to make a significant dent in their respective budgets despite making big promises, so we can only wait and see what Seattle will do. They will have to deal with the reality of what they are trying to do and its hard for me to see how they can realistically make it work.

Presidential elections are right around the corner so I'm guessing that's going to eat up most of the air-time, with the occasional chimpout highlight sprinkled inbetween.

It never ceases to amaze me that people actually watch mainstream news, how many times a day do you need to be reminded of covid19 and the riots? Granted this shit reached its apex with 9/11, but god damn.

 

[Crazedking]

Its funny that the city is still trying to defund the police even after the protesters started hitting up the Mayors residence. Summer of love got cleaned up real quick after that.

easy to defund police when you can pay for private security on the taxpayer's dime.

So again, if we're doomed why not just kill ourselves/go out in a blaze of glory? I don't want to suffer for nothing. Get busy living or get busy dying.

why kill ourselves
why not fight back and kill the enemy instead
