RE: Looting

My DH told me about that. So sad.

Yes, Military = National Guard = Military = National Guard.
I think I'm just confused about deploying the military (NG) if the NG isn't deployed. Must be something in the wording that isn't making sense. Is it like "If you don't deploy NG yourselves I will do it for you."?

It's more like "you can pull out your knives, or I'll send the guns. Either way, stop the rioting."

Both are military.

One is body armor and forceful instructions, the other is tanks, and comply or get shot.

I saw these pathetic protesters out past curfew complaining because the NG started using tear gas to break things up and send them home. Don't want your eyes to burn? Obey the curfew.

Did you see the video of a little girl, maybe 8, getting sprayed with pepper spray by a filter?

Two things pissed me off.

1. Her parent took her to a riot.

2. A little girl was a target.

Here's the clip I saw.

🤬

FNW · Guru

I heard about it. Why bring a child to a riot? Sheesh.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

All I can think, and I pray it's the case, they were there to protest peacefully, and the riot started before they could leave.

But the girl can be identified in the clip, so I hope her parents are identified and charged accordingly.

FNW · Guru

My guess would be she was indoctrinating her little girl to hate police officers and white people and be a victim. That seems to be ingrained in the culture.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

It looked like she was with a man, I'm thinking her dad.

This is what is needed!

The last one?

It's a large group of all races, marching and singing Way Maker.

Parents of that little girl need to be held responsible and that kid should be taken away. Of course, with DCFS fostering as the only option, they may as well leave her.

There was something on the news about people donating tons of money for the legal bills of protesters arrested, but how does one tell if the money is going to a protester vs a looter? I can't say I would be donating to an organization like that. If I had the money to do that I would just go support one.

Lindley · Guru

I would rather donate the money to George Floyd’s family, then the rioters. Peaceful protesters aren’t getting arrested, the looters and rioters are and they know it.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Who would take a child out knowing riots are going on!

Because the ones donating, namely some very high ranking politicians in office or their kin, are donating to the very organization who has arranged for these riots to occur.

Only an idiot who deserves to have their kid taken away. Protests are no place for little kids. Not even teenagers. Everyone should be an adult and be ready for the repercussions of being arrested for the rioting.

OT: Last night an Amber alert came on about a missing two year old little boy. The mom called and said someone kidnapped her child from a bathroom at a public park. They found his clothes in the bathroom but the 2 yo was missing. Today they found his body in a dumpster down the street. They immediately arrested his mom for murder. Turns out it was obvious that it wasn't an accident and the mother had three open CPS cases against her. Grandmother wasn't supposed to be present in the home because of a criminal record and she was there too. CPS removed her other children. I think there were two others. Sad sad sad.

:What a horrible thing to happen to a child.

Momala · Great cook-happy wife-superb fisherman

What I find disturbing are the
pictures of pallets of bricks on
the street, with no plausible
reason for them being there,
other than to provide "ammo"
for the rioters to hurl. WHO
ordered and paid for these?
If the police can find this out,
we'll know who fomented this
situation.

Yeah, really. I mean to have parents who are that damn stupid to take you to a riot. That is horrible.

Yes, but I'm talking about the murdered child in the park.

Our little town had a rally last night. TOTALLY peaceful. People hugging and crying. My son was there. You never hear the good stories...

They're protesting in my town right now. I drove through it. Peaceful so far, but they were carrying bottles and wearing backpacks, and splitting up. Not a good sign.

TrudyML · Guru

I don't know in other states but here in MA rioting is excluded from business owner insurance policies. Those small shops ruined on Newbury Street are screwed.

FNW · Guru

Oh that's so sad.

Ohfour · Hooker

Oh wow...

TrudyML · Guru

I know. Talking to an agent that insurers a few on Newbury Street. Losers. I hope the Companies bend some policies for them.

I heard that here too. That’s unfair.

TrudyML · Guru

Well, maybe the BLM should donate all the money they are getting to help the ruined businesses out!

FNW · Guru

I tipped off some LEOs to the "gathering" I saw and they jumped on it. Weren't expecting it until 6 PM so they're getting an early start. Helicopters are out, too.

TrudyML · Guru

You get 'em!

My company donated 500K to BLM and above that are matching all employees' donations.

They also requested that we make a policy that the next 5 - 10 hires (depending on the size of your division) will be people of color. So we could have a KNOCK OUT candidate and we have to overlook them if they are white.

Maybe all the athletes and stars will donate to that too. Also, I think that hiring by race is illegal.

Affirmative action. That's wrong, too.

Apparently not in this climate. The rules have changed. Even the NFL is giving top draft picks to the teams that have black owners and hire black coaches.

Still just a proposal and that was from several weeks ago. This has been proposed previously as well. Not even close to relation as to what is currently happening.

It's still illegal. Or it should be. I don't care what's 'Happening".

We had some peaceful protests in our town. The police publicly thanked the protesters for being on their best behavior.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Peaceful protesters here too. Sunday the cops showed up and threw them a cookout and hung out with them.

Ours was peaceful as well.

Our protests are very artistic. Held on the steps of the VAG.

Why are you having protests?

This thing has taken on a life of its own.

There are riots and protests all over the world.

FNW · Guru

You mean the U.S. isn't the only country where there is race disparity? So it's not because of our great great great great great great grandparents owning slaves?
