Jesus fuck. This is a friend of mine, few years old, white girl, in tech ... I don't think anyone understands what a civil war is. You do not want this. My father lived through one and it fucking ruined his life.

Anyone asking for this does NOT understand the implications, or the facts. I assure you 🇺🇸 , this is not the world you want.

Thanks for posting.

"We've been peaceful and nothing has changed" is the best argument I've heard so far for rioting. Not right but at least it makes sense.

@realcaseyrollins The thing about non-violent protest, is it takes A LOT of work. The Montgomery bus boycotts lasted nearly a year! Gandhi constantly had to go up against people who choose violence. He would stop eating for weeks, and only his cult of personality made a difference.

Non-violent protest, real, non-violence, is difficult and long and hard. The Earth Liberation front tried the violent route, and their message got lost in the violent; with only short term gains.

@realcaseyrollins @djsumdog it would make sense if it there wasn't also looting and destruction of completely unrelated businesses. If all they went after were like govt buildings, okay, they are clearly making a point. but wtf does looting everything in target have to do with anything? Clearly there are a LOT of opportunists.
@Locksmith @realcaseyrollins @djsumdog lol literally i just posted something like this we are on the same wavelength
@realcaseyrollins @djsumdog I think if you're gonna do violent protesting it at least has to be done with a clear aim and a strategy. not burning and looting wildly. look at how many black businesses have been ruined. I'm sure that's really helping
@Ox all they're doing at the moment is providing justification for an increasing escalation of force. Trump is already pushing DoD to support the National Guard and armed insurrection allows for the sole legal precedent to use the military against a domestic target. These people are naive suicidal idiots @realcaseyrollins @djsumdog

@dude
By beating citizens like they did yesterday, they are asking to be attacked in return.
@Ox @djsumdog

@realcaseyrollins violence begets violence. They will always be able to muster more people and firepower than the civilians. The youngsters pulling this shit may get away with it for a few days but the current behaviour will pull the public opinion to the side of who can end the chaos.

I get why the people took to the streets initially. I get that they're tired of not being herd. That said, the current behaviour must stop. They've become no better than those they oppose and at present a present a FAR greater (short term) threat to their community than the powers that be. @Ox @djsumdog

@dude
The #protesters must stop.

Cos if commerce is impacted it'll just lead to even more #moneyPrinting by the Central Bankers in that cesspool of white-collar criminality, called #NY.

The protesters need to know their place, they must go back to serving the #corporations and #centralBankers for another 106 years. They are not smart enough to achieve anything and are just savage beasts and violent rioters.

I saw it in the #news.

@Ox @realcaseyrollins @djsumdog

@dude wouldn't be the first time. They were driving tanks around LA during the riots there in 1992.

@craftyguy true, though I don't remember that erupting around the country

@Ox @realcaseyrollins @djsumdog I agree that the many, vast, numerous, uncountable, very large in number, gorillians of dozens of thriving black owned businesses like Bojangles will only sit at 50% capacity since the riots.
