I just got caught up on CNN's coverage and I'm amazed and how bad things look. I really hope the country is able to get on its feet and fix some of the underlying issues that it's been facing, namely racism. It is on a different level every time I've ever crossed the border.

There's some genius to Troy's thoughts and actions but there's a time to be righteous and a time to just say fk it! It will get pretty daym hot this summer, even in Cornhole NY and fixing it doesn't require some elaborate construction or costly installation to achieve.Wocka Wocka wrote: ↑Sat May 30, 2020 10:54 pmBoring is different than miserable.

Saving 10k in a year is but there's now way in hell I'm empathetic about sweaty if OP doesn't just fork out the $500 for a window unit in at least one room in his house.
I guess some people get off on miserableness.

Yeah good point, I'm thinking they are wagering on whether or not this takes Trump out come election time. I think he'd have to do something bigger then he can ever pull off to fix this, like some oversight group led by a respected minority figure or something. :notgonnahappen:razr390 wrote: ↑Sat May 30, 2020 11:08 pmRussia and China are having a fucking BLAST watching our news coverage right now.Tarspin wrote: ↑Sat May 30, 2020 10:55 pm

From what I've read, there are some white supremacist groups that are showing up after curfew to loot in order to change the narrative to make the legit protesters, and the issue they're protesting, look less legit. how true that is, but it seem to be a lot of white people that I see doing the looting.

Not to delve into whether they are white supremacist or antifa, but I've been following the protests/riots in the Pacific Northwest (Portland, Seattle, etc.) long before the George Floyd incident and the M.O. of the bad actors is more antifa which is hard left organization.wap wrote: ↑Sat May 30, 2020 11:39 pmFrom what I've read, there are some white supremacist groups that are showing up after curfew to loot in order to change the narrative to make the legit protesters, and the issue they're protesting, look less legit. how true that is, but it seem to be a lot of white people that I see doing the looting.

100%.
The more divided we are internally the more they can do to spread their influence externally.

Just saw a video on twitter of some protesters basically beating another protester who was trying to defend a business to near-death and left him in a twister shape unconscious.
At that point are we as humans any better than the cop who took George Floyd's life?

Trump will send in military next week and guarantee himself a win for re-election. I promise you these riots have not been a direct by-product of trump. Obama's administration had dozens of these protests/riots and at one point Obama even called the rioters thugs.Tarspin wrote: ↑Sat May 30, 2020 11:17 pmYeah good point, I'm thinking they are wagering on whether or not this takes Trump out come election time.

I imagine that's possible. I won't dispute it, but there have apparently been communications on line from some WS group talking about going to Mnpls to "get their loot on".razr390 wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 12:21 amNot to delve into whether they are white supremacist or antifa, but I've been following the protests/riots in the Pacific Northwest (Portland, Seattle, etc.) long before the George Floyd incident and the M.O. of the bad actors is more antifa which is hard left organization.wap wrote: ↑Sat May 30, 2020 11:39 pm

I agree it stems back to before Trumps time, but how he reacts might influence his support no?

I don’t doubt there are actors from every extremist wing at some of these protests. The protests themselves create a huge opportunity vacuum. But, most of the White people starting fires and damaging stuff are antifa.wap wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 12:50 amI imagine that's possible.

It sucks because it is taking a peaceful protest and basically using it to their own advantage. Detracting from the message the protests are about.

I'm not putting a big loud expensive box that we will hopefully not have any use for in our lives after this summer right next to our fucking bed or couch.
