“So I guess the stage is set. We are not pissed enough yet and when we do.............”

I just had this conversation with my better half.

I have just about reached my puke point with all of this BLM, white supremacy and anti-cop BS, and I’m typically as mild-mannered as Clark Kent.

What’s going to happen when the “dam bursts” with others who are just as fed up, but more inclined (and equipped) to do something about it?

Absolutely. The Globalists aren’t just angry at Donald Trump but from our vantage that’s how it sometimes seems.

There has been backlash in numerous countries and the heads of state have been targeted with phony scandals and this economic shutdown.

How many times have you seen global protests over police abuse in America?

China and Iran are even sponsoring protests in their countries and likely our own.

But the media won’t talk about foreign influence on our election this year. “How dare you!” - Greta

Try this...

Lay on your stomach with your hands behind your back, your face against the floor, and have a friend assume the same position as Chauvin. Your airway and carotid arteries are rotated away from the knee and protected by your spine. I tried it, and although it hurt, it didn’t affect my breathing or circulation at all.

The medical examiner found that Floyd was on fentanyl. What’s one of the major symptoms of fentanyl? Respiratory suppression. Reports claim Floyd was complaining about being unable to breath even before he was taken down (don’t know if this is true or not).

I’m not at all excusing what Chauvin and the others did. Why didn’t he get off Floyd’s neck once Floyd was clearly subdued? Like nearly everyone else, I want justice done, and I think the evidence we’ve seen so far points to at least a charge of manslaughter.

However, I think whoever was on Floyd’s back was more likely to restrict his breathing. That’s the police officer, not Chauvin, who had the biggest impact on Floyd’s respiration. Just lay flat on your stomach with your hands behind your back, and you’ll see it makes it more difficult to breath. Now imagine someone pressing down on your back.

My point? People are outraged that a white cop killed a black, but that four person team was multiracial, and the guys on Floyd’s legs and back weren’t white. This shouldn’t be about race. It’s about excessive and improper police force, and that’s wrong no matter what skin colors are involved.

The ice cream-makers also demanded.

Prisoners demand free smokes too

It’s amazing what and who some people think they are.

They are a customer of mine.

I charge them a PITA(Pain In The Ass) Fee on each thing they buy from me.

Have done so for years.

Keep it up guys.

Now try and figure out which of your vendors I am.

Who eats this crap? I know. Those who drive Volvos.

I posted this elsewhere today, but this virtue signaling is going to be shoved down our throats from every organization. I paid my credit card bill online earlier this morning and there was a greeting from Jamie Dimon telling us we need to address centuries of systemic racism.

Unilever, a Globalist Communist Corporation!! I stopped buying Unilever products... I loved Hellman's mayo, but Blue Plate is better. And I don't know if Blue Plate is Democrat or Republican.

We need to boycott Unilever (Lipton, Suave, Good Humor, Axe and more...)

“What happened to George Floyd was not the result of a bad apple; it was the predictable consequence of a racist and prejudiced system and culture that has treated Black bodies as the enemy from the beginning,” said Ben & Jerry’s.

More whites die in police custody than blacks, you America hating, racist hatemongers.

“White supremacy” is liberal code words for letting blacks be supreme.

Not going to happen.

Well, we didn’t have blacks burning and looting our cities during slavery.

This article is the typical liberal fluff and blather Feel-good crap with zero concrete recommendations. Liberals spew millions of words of this garbage every month.

What is most conspicuously missing is either of the B&J founders recognizing and renouncing THEIR racism, THEIR (so-called) “privilege, giving THEIR fortunes to the less fortunate, and living THEIR lives as ascetics. They are the very definition of hypocrite.

But we’ve all know that for decades.

It’s probably a direct given, based on the times unless the founders were Quaker or abolitionist (almost the same thing, sometimes!).

We’re all there, I would say. Just seeing the yellow paint BLACK LIVES MATTER on the street in Washington, DC is enough to make anyone froth at the mouth! I can’t get it out of my head. What RIGHT did that mayor have to do such a thing? I can’t believe there isn’t some federal agency that is going to take action and clean that up. Sure, the mayor might order it done again but this time they’d be prepared. WOULDN’T THEY? Gads - I’m giving up hope of anyone being held accountable for the destruction they’ve caused!

It's past time to pressure Ben & Jerry's the way the Starbuck's CEO was pressured to open a Starbuck's in Ferguson Missouri after he decided to have a campaign to "Talk about Race" / "Blame White People for your Problems".

Forget forcing Ben & Jerry's to open retail stores in Baltimore, Phildelphia, Camden NJ, etc. Force them to build production operations in those cities.
