I don’t even know what to say to those things anymore. I don’t recognize my country in some areas

As with every other terrorist group, the Democrat/Left will keep this up — keep overreaching as they are self-compelled to do — until they’re stopped by decent people.

They are definitely carrying guns at least some of them.

They don’t care what the cops think or anybody else. But so far they haven’t been disbursed.

Others would just show up anyway. Or the same people would come right back.

I’m Italian and I’ve grown up around them and my whole life.

A lot of them aren’t all there in the head.

I guess in a situation like this that helps

I really hate the American Taliban.


Totally predictable. This is what happens when you have no opposition party to the progressive corportist agenda. The GOP couldn’t care less our history is being erased because their corporate donors want it gone, too.

The issues of failed parenting are being displayed in these savage little devils ... by tolerating their initial violence they are encouraged to step up their violent demands, and the obsequious ‘authorities’ continue to acquiesce.

Agree. But there was always a check on radical behavior and that is gone now with “both” political parties supporting this nonsense. Our institutions are failing us. All of them.

He gave a big shout out to Italians for their defense of the Christopher Columbus monuments.

Don't mess with Columbus!

Maybe yo7 should start a thread about these guarding cases. I sure would like to know how things are going. I haven’t seen it on the news at all, only showing rioters destroying things and appeasement.

How did we get from “police brutality” to “destroy Confederate stuff” anyway? Never mind the predictable all things American.

America has had its taboo structure for the society eroded to insignificance. Without a collectively agreed upon taboo structure the society loses its identity. Thus the America now dying.

BTW the other week I was sure someone posted about a flag-burning by BLM IN THE NATIONAL CEMETERY THERE! In the Yankee soldier grounds!

Too far back for me to find it right away.

I'm not sure what's happening in my neck of the woods (MD), but if you and some of your fellow paisans decide to get something together in S.I., I'll be happy to provide funds. With my income, they won't be BIG TIME funds, but they will be funds.

You know, $100 bucks every now and then

yes it is. Unless negative reinforcement is imposed on impulsive child behavior when they are young, they cannot learn respect when they are older - they get stuck on 5yo mental midget impulsiveness and cannot mature. And I don’t care what flavor of idiot their parents are. It is the parent’s responsibility to society to teach their children how to act. And if they don’t, if they screw up their job parenting, under the new blood debt rules imposed by the Left, they pay - I want statue restitution from their pockets.. And yes, I’m feeling radical this morning :)

I couldn’t disagree with you more about negative reinforcement. Love and reinforcement of what’s right ALWAYS trumps criticism. Always. However, it requires parents spending the time to teach their children what’s right, discussing with them why it is right, and leading by example. I also strongly believe that giving a child a start in spirituality is crucial.

I do agree with you about parental responsibility.

Thanks man :-) not many people back up what they say. You do. But honestly things are fine here.

We have a very large number of Italians on one side of the island. Maybe two hundred thousand. Not folks here or there or more integrated like these other places.. So no one’s doing anything here.

I was in Brooklyn twice last week and I saw three so-called rallies. Angry people

Di am a fat yankee but every single Confederate statue that has been pulled down has broken my heart.

The Northeast has treated many many more people like animals when they came here than there ever were slaves.

slavery’s days were likely numbered anyway

And untold lives wouldn’t have been wasted

places right now where real and brutal slavery is happening but they don’t care at all about that

South Philly must be fairly safe by now. The Italians down there (the news article didn’t specify the ethnicity, but I only had to look at the picture) have apparently moved on from simply guarding statues to patrolling the streets with implements like baseball bats.

If you are Italian it’s mandatory to keep a bat in your car :-)

I am sure there are some guns in the crowd.

Even if they are not showing

LOL!

Yeah, if I’m with ‘em some time in the future, I’ll remember to drop to the ground when the rat-a-tats start coming from the mob-issued hardware.
