Besides this was just a pretext. These riots were staged and ready to go. They were just waiting for a trigger event.
This was ready to happen. They were just waiting for any opportunity at all to be the reason. It’s not about black anything. It’s about sinking Trump. If it hadn’t been George Kirby, it would have been someone or something else.
Wrong - that one event was an inevitable event that would have happened sooner or later. What it did was reveal a festering infection that has began well over 100 years ago. McCarthy was right, he just went about it wrong. We should have moved to make socialism and communism unconstitutional 100 years ago. Instead we left room at the table for something diametrically opposed to our form of government and the well being of our country.
I agree. I hate that cop.
Ok, perhaps you make valid points.
But I think this is partly a perfect storm of circumstances.
Take away this COVID NONSENSE, and this might never have happened. Not the way it is now, so out of control.
For one, everyone is antsy and irritable with this lock-down. Combine that pent-up energy and anxiety with the hood tude, and you have a real powder keg.
NOW add in all the whites and others, who dont have jobs (and some quit school not doing video conferencing) because of this garbage. They have ZERO else to do, combined with that anxiety.
Combined with all the socialist garbage they generally spew, and how seething with hatred they are for the USA in general....
....BOOM...
not excusing it, and not saying its a conspiracy (tho it may be).
They would have just picked another cop-black problem.
Time to bring back the old Mancatchers. They worked well in the past.
Another incident would have been used to set all this off if Floyd had been arrested properly.
As others have said, BLM was waiting for an incident to start their election year violence campaign. Its hard to get a perfect incident, so they have to get us to overlook the character of the person involved.
George Floyd was a violent kidnapper, holding a woman at gunpoint in a home invasion.
In their earlier 2014 election year campaign, Michael Brown was so violent because he knew if he was arrested for any minor thing, his earlier store robbery would come to light before he was released.
BLM had to go with these flawed incidents because they were determined to have a violent summer leading into an election.
Nonsense!
They would have rioted over the next “killing” whoever it would be.
Lawless folks are always going to do lawless things. All they need is a reason & a Soros paycheck.
thank you for your service ... but damn you’re stupid ...
Not true.
The same Antifa members rioted to prevent conservatives speakers from speaking on campus and attacked Trump rallies in 2015 and 2016. They were planning to do the same nationwide to “resist” Trump.
BLM members haven’t just rioted for every case where a black person died in custody. They’ve protested after multiple fake hate crimes.
The whole George Floyd thing was a giant set up
they needed a trigger that was it
Do you really think for a second all this Marxists and I kissed Black Lives Matter crap would be happening irrespective of the George Floyd incident?
Absolutely of course it would They tried to get it going with the armored Arbery case but they didnt get any traction
Do you really think that all of these left us and her kiss all around the world just all the sudden got pissed because of that one incident?
Do you really think all that organized looting burning and crap that went on was a pre-plan in advance for months and years
If you do I have a bridge to sell you in Florida
New surveillance video shows George Floyd in struggle with cops in back of police car BEFORE being pulled out and 'killed' by officer Derek Chauvin (May 31, 2020)
So Floyd probably had adrenaline surge, followed by police in my armchair opinion.
Insights welcome.
Wrong.
ALL of this, every bit of it, was teed up, organized, and planned and would have happened precisely as it has, with a different trigger. They were simply waiting for any kind of provocative event to magnify and exploit.
Yes it would have.
This was just a random event they decided to use as their springboard.
Facts don’t matter anymore.
They could have chosen any incident and the result would have been the same.
Jarrett and Obama have been architecting this thing for months.
I get what you’re saying, but I agree with the others. The Soros militia were prepared to move, and any trigger would have been used, whatever it was and wherever it was.
When you know how antifa operates, and BLM, the Soros DNC militia... they never just show up, they are deployed.
Their purpose is to run out the clock between now and November, and to try to keep black voters from going over to Trump, and to dominate the news cycle, to keep Trump from getting out his message.
From day one of his administration, the Soros DNC has been deployed to paralyze Trump and tie him down. Hence the attempted coup with Russiagate, the phony impeachment, the virus, and now open street fighting.
That in mind, its amazing how much he managed to accomplish. Still, they smell blood, and they see November coming like a freight train. This is only going to get worse. We have to stick together.
Another event - another excuse.
The left has had these riots planned and ready for an incident they could use as an excuse this summer. It’s part of the Democrats election campaign strategy.
If it hadn’t been Floyd, it would have been something else. The mobs were simply waiting for their orders.
They find other cases all the time, so it doesn’t matter in the end. It just would have been a different place that was destroyed first.
