Right on.

One issue that gets lost in the sauce tho is that this is probably more of a class thing than a race thing, although who is on whose side is racially imbalanced.

It's largely the government & business owners vs. consumers

My kid is trying to walk. Does anyone have a suggestion for tv wall mounts and soundbars

@freemo Nazis? I haven't seen many literaly Neo-Nazis running around, although I admit, so much crap is going down that it's hard to keep track of everything.

@kino Just found this footage, last night got an exclusive interview with the guy who filmed the beating.

nigga really said "oh you call yourself chocolate who does that?"


you can tell who has zero interaction IRL

@Ox

I dont think anyone is going to disagree this guy was a moron. If you shot at an angry mob with a bow and arrow your ass is going down... But he does have the moral high ground all the same considering he was under attack for some time before defending himself.

@realcaseyrollins

@realcaseyrollins the video i saw only shows the aftermath, the original people who attacked him werent caught on tape.

So I suppose that is possible.

But I am hearing a LOT of bullshit atrying to make everything about blaming whites.. I personally have no wish for it to be a racial issue at all. to me this is about police brutality against citizens and the hate should be directed at a broken system. But people have made this about a "white people are evil" scenario.

The result of that is that even though in allt he videos of looting and everything we see it is 90% black (largely due to this taking place in the inner city and those being the people most emotionally effected).. every is trying to rewrite that as some bullship about it only being white people who are being violent... We all saw the videos of looters across the nation and its easy to see its mostly black like i said.

So yea when people say "they were white" .. well its possible but show me proof because that seems to be the lie of the die and contrary to all the evidence. Dont get me wrong some, many are absolutely white, but not a disproportionate amount by any means.

The parts I think he was lying about was being part of the protestors or that he was there to protect the protestors. My guess is he explicitly sided with the cops and had a bow on him to protect himself should he be attacked. While I dont agree with him siding with the cops that was his right and ultimately only shot the bow after being physically attacked for some time prior and even then only actually shot the bow once someone rushed him to attack him. As such he was completely justified in his actions.

@Ox I admire their bravery tho, if that's really what they're trying to do.

was doing something similar last night.

@freemo In the original tweet I got this from, they claim that the people who attacked him were white and he was lying about them being black. Can't remember if this is true or not.

So are Antifa and the lockdown protesters on the same side now?
