    George Floyd murdered in the streets by police: “People are out of line and should be jailed for their reaction”

    Old white dude gets convicted by a full jury of white color crimes: “BURN IT ALL DOWN!!!1!1”

    Perfectly rational folks there.

      I hope they don’t block traffic. I don’t know if any passed, but a few places were trying to make it legal to run over protestors blocking traffic. That would sure be a shame if they had to find out.

        Texas Governor Abbott pardoned a guy who straight up shot a white BLM protester while he was pushing his black wheelchair bound girlfriend.

        Said shooter also turned out to be a serial child rapist, but… didn’t matter. He got out anyway.

      I have no idea if you put “white color crimes” by mistake or on purpose, but I’m going to use that, especially related to politics.

      Well there’s no rational reason why anyone would ever vote for that piece of shit in the first place. Their rationality went out the window decades ago.

    Weird to “call for” a riot. Not generally the type of thing you schedule ahead of time.

    This is outrageous… Other people should riot! Not me, I’m busy watching Fox News and yelling at my wife.

    Can they hurry up? I’ve got a busy weekend ahead and I’d love starting it off by seeing a bunch of morons get pummeled by police.

    “Someone in NY with nothing to lose needs to take care of Merchan,” wrote one commentator on Patriots.Win. “Hopefully he gets met with illegals with a machete,” the post said in reference to illegal immigrants.

    Imagine having so much to lose for your opinions, that you hope the people that you’ve oppressed carry out your sick fantasies.

    On Gateway Pundit, one poster suggested shooting liberals after the verdict. “Time to start capping some leftys,” said the post. “This cannot be fixed by voting."

    I feel like America is encouraging the wrong attitudes. When it arrests peaceful protestors on Gaza, but won’t touch the guys threatening to shoot up “leftys.”

      Because the guys threatening to shoot up “leftys” are the same ones who would be doing the arresting.

      You can’t arrest yourself.

      The Gaza Protests were only peaceful from the pro-palestine side. It was an orgy of violence from the Israeli side.

      I suspect we’ll see this pattern repeat itself, as cops stand shoulder to shoulder with fascists and their sympathizers, in stocastic terrorist campaigns.
