@VD15 I don't get it. Why were so many Target's targeted? Did the logo just attract people with it's bright red concentric circles?
@adam #Trump is designating #Antifa as #TERRORISTS https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1267129644228247552?s=20 "Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization."
@l0wk3y
To give him some credit, at least he had the balls to say the national guard should be sent in. But he's definitely not a "race unifier" like Obama was lauded as. He wouldn't have a chance to quench this even if he tried. Obama probably would have, but he didn't try.

@realcaseyrollins targeted? or just accidentally destroyed because no one really knew or rioting became indiscriminate?
That said I really wouldnt be surprised if there are some people who are also racist assholes who might use the chaos to get some good old fashion racism against balcks or other minorities in too. riots are chaos there is likely a little bit of everything.
But from I'm seeing most of the hate seems targeted at whites in the riots.
@trending
Tbh fediverse is lmao. Idk, but this app is uwu. Tfw you wtf and iirc makeitrain while smh. Misskey? bruh... My gf is pleromafe XD. Yes, I'm a weeb so what? Don't make me start a hellthread and invite the entire fuckin fse!
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.
The more prevalent and popular angle, for comparison
@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.
