I’m capable of protecting myself so please let all the cops quit. It will be in those commie cities that the worst will happen. Maybe it will cleanse this country of the a-holes that are so smart they think everyone should just roll over.

The country of laws has become the country under mob rule. So get ready.

Summer is coming, all shoe stores and TV shops should consider closing for the season, or moving to a country location. These revolutionists are looking to creating division and will do anything to stir up the population. Its growing because the good people are doing nothing to stop it. Looks like the Governor of FLA is the only one taking steps regarding the riots? FLA the Gunshine state with armed seniors.

Interesting. The Indian wars-— chicken germans emigre’ farmers murdered tribes people just because they were right scared of the best cavalry ever seen in battle- the Plains Indians who destroyed their caravans. Waves of german dirt farmers (great dairy people have to say).

So they have a football team they assign their balls to— some heritage they don’t even have— the Vikings. Truly odd- don’t think the Vikings made it further in than the tip of Newfoundland. But they came up with the “Viking” schtick— from a hoax Norse runestone supposedly found in Minnesota (a proven hoax)by some Swedish guy.

So BLM got their pound of flesh but the cost to America has been and will continue to be very high. This proceeding should have been declared a mistrial as soon as Waters, Biden and the Mayor opened their mouths. Mob rule isn't justice and you would think the descendants of people who were hanged for being black would understand that better than most.

Make this ONLY in black communities & around leftist media outlets.

That would make it most big cities in each state (including their capital cities).

I think you do have a point. In our corner of the world things are still pretty stable, no signs of the animosity we see on TV. However, it is pretty obvious that agitators are mobile and they will seek out then upset the equilibrium we enjoy because we ain't woke enough.

Thanks- will check that out. Her story and the White Rose, really terrifying. Recently watched “Mr. Jones” about Gareth Jones the Welsh real reporter who personally interviewed Hitler, and then intended to interview Stalin ( as to “where is all the money coming from for the growth of Sovietism?”) but then stole his way into Ukraine and documented the Holodomor millions.

The proper record of Walter Duranty (a major pervo, btw) NYslimes who won a Pulitzer covering Soviets-— is seen in the movie. Stalin owned this a@@ and the NYTimes functioned then as a Comintern stooges as they do now.

“Mr. Jones”. Was excellent and... chilling. Stalin never forgot Jones... when Jones went to Manchukuo (Japanese Mongolia) the NKVD caught up with and murdered Jones there. Now there was a reporter. Recently learned the perv Duranty wound up in olde Orlando (a nascent queer/pervo community there at that time, that has grown since)- died and is buried there. About the time Jack Kerouac lived there briefly).

All they care about is the safety and wellbeing of their own posteriors.

It's hard to be that angry at them for protecting their own well being.

It's Maxine Waters of the world that are evil personified for engaging in jury intimidation. It's no different that what the mafia used to do.

Hmmm, u think a fair trial could've been had in a liberal enclave like Minneapolis anyway? Not only that......

"A local news organization also published full biographies of the jurors involved, including their ages, ethnicities, their job occupation, among other details, potentially leaving the jurors open to physical violence if they had voted not to convict Chauvin of Floyd’s murder. National File is choosing not to link to the article out of respect for the anonymity of the jury."

When the choice boils down to either him or me and my family, it becomes a quick and easy decision to make.

OK— so WHAT felony offense was Officer Chauvin committing which effected the death of the drug overdosed fentanyl freak Floyd?

Floyd killed HIMSELF by his criminal actions and resistance under the self administered drug influence.

We just supposed to let street druggie whackos run wild? This was no “babe in the woods”. And BLM and AntiFA are GANGS in the Business of dope and “revolt”.

Why don’t these morons look at the 16 minutes of tape that showed what happened BEFORE the 8 minutes. It explains why Floyd ended on the ground with a cop’s knee in his shoulder to subdue him.

That was demonstrated by BLM rioting all summer 2020 and then pausing after Biden was elected.

“After the Dakota War, in which the people of Minnesota fought to extirpate the Dakota Tribe, 38 captured native Americans were taken out and executed in the largest mass execution in American history.”

Yeah, in response to the largest massacre of white settlers by Indians in American history: The Sioux Uprising of 1862.

The Sioux did some pretty brutal things to the white settlers, particularly to women and children. Survivors wanted to do much more to the culprits than hang them (and those hanged were just a fraction of the those responsible, because Abe Lincoln pardoned the rest).
