George Floyd Riots - Staged Event?

[Mystic Wanderer]

I think the first statement was correct, whether that's what he meant or not - looters need to be shot. Immediately. You get a lot fewer people willing to engage in looting like that.

It's about time for me to dip out of Facebook. The whole country is being led nuts, and it's bleeding out into Facebook, which also going whole hog unthinking crazy.

When this first happened, I was one of the first to condemn it, and gave reasons why and valid legal arguments to show it was 1st degree murder, and should be treated as such. I was a FB hero then...

Then the riots started.

When the riots started, I came out just as strongly against them, and applied the exact same yardstick to the rioters as I had applied to the murderer.

Suddenly I was a "racist" for being, well, not racially motivated at all, and just applying the same rules to different people.

I'm done with that stupidity. I had their backs, but then they decided to do... this... so they're on their own, and can get on with their badass selves. I want no more to do with it, and care even less what happens now, so long as it's not happening on my place. If it does, that will be dealt with accordingly.

Yes, social media is going nuts on every platform right now. If the National Guard can keep things under control, this should die out of the media soon; there won't be anything to report without the rioters.

I've done my part in sharing how/what I think about it here (and elsewhere), now it's time to move on to the next topic and allow people's emotions time to simmer down.

I have to say, I don't think this is the end of it. I look for some other "actor" policeman to do something stupid to a black person in a different city soon. "They" can't allow the media to have free time to cover the transcripts; people would discover the truth if that happened.
