Easy to do!
Only know that as I lived in Minneapolis for a couple of years and know it well. It is still the midwest.

That's bullshit. Anyone who kills a 5 year old is a piece of shit. What the right are pissed off about is how the story was deliberately ignored by the media for days before they were finally forced to report on the hate crime. Had this been a white man slaughtering a 5 year old black kid, it would've been international news in a matter of minutes.

Indeed.
They now have a fight back fundraising page set up.
He is part of an armed militia group.
This may be Bunker Boys worst nightmare.

He shot someone because they threw a molotov cocktail at him. Pure self defence. That's what you get when you try to burn someone alive.
It was covered on major news outlets. Like CNN and Fox News. You may not have heard that in your Ben Shapiro echo chamber, but it was.
You're just salty that it didn't get more attention because it doesn't push your viewpoint that black people are inherently violent.
Sorry but the world doesn't agree with you.
Its simple, segregation is what is needed, our old timers knew this. Its not even about skin colour anymore, its about an ideology of governance. If you are a lefty then you want a socialist government to control every aspect of your life so emigrate to China or Russia because we are Democratic here in Australia. Take your leftist/socialist mind rot elsewhere as us tax paying law abiding citizens have had enough of your apologist self loathing and virtue signalling.

Like I said, it was eventually covered after the media could no longer ignore it. It was going viral through alternative media (non msm) outlets so the msm finally reported on it too.

Someone threw a molotov cocktail at him. They literally tried to kill him and he acted in self defence. Why are you so upset that he took out some Antifa scumbags in self defence?

So.
Can you explain,why this 17 year old,with a semi automatic rifle,got his Mum to drive him to this riot?
When he lived in another town?
Did his mates in his group attend as well?
or was this his own decision?

Ice-Wolf posts do not come across as though he is upset - the above post presents as hysterical. Are you ok??

Which is not at all what I said.
But keep tilting at those windmills (or is it a strawman?).

Mmm, maybe the hamsters dead.......
Facts are so bloody annoying-especially when they destroy carefully crafted narratives with an agenda in mind.
Verdun/campbell/project tv and the like, you guys/girls are all very strong on your positions in this post regarding racism and police brutality and the like.
I personally dont think we have a huge problem with this in this country but do not wish to disregard your experiences as maybe you do.
Instead of slinging shit at each other (not holding you guys solely responsible) can we have a discussion around how or what you feel is needed, or what you would do to rectify the issues locally.
It has been my experience that people who feel very passionately about issues, generally have some considered ideas to rectify. Id like to hear your ideas and hopefully further educate myself or at least listen to a different point of view.
I feel the discussion can be had respectfully if we were all prepared to put the emotive language aside and not default to offence when opposite views of our own are presented.

No-one's watching anymore. I don't think they'd be willing to give up the tens of millions they earn by playing basketball of in the NFL. What inequality are you referring to? What are black people unable to do or have in America that all other races are able to do or have? I wonder how these black athletes would feel about bringing more diversity into basketball and the NFL which are both overwhelmingly played by black sportsmen? How many of them would give up their positions to allow more Asian or Indian basketballers/footballers to play. I would respect that kind of action. Talk is cheap.

Yep - if you think I have been 'slinging sh*t' call me out, no problem with that all. Please provide quotes.
This thread is titled do you support kneeling, it seems to have got off track.
Hi there.
My hyperbole towards a few certain posters was purely because they are obvious trolls. I'd be happy to have a discussion about this with you.
In my opinion, it's less an issue of racism and more an issue of misuse of institutional power, ie, the police force acting in ways that are excessive.
It sometimes targets minority groups, but overwhelmingly, it targets people that are working class or in poverty. Police exist to protect capital.
Whilst I would consider myself to be someone who is anti-racist, I do feel that parts of the BLM movement have been hijacked by neoliberals who are using it as an opportunity to a) make money out of it through brand positioning and b) more than happy to use the race card as a way of dividing the working class - so that the working class does not unite against them.
The question of kneeling is interesting. Is it important to bring attention to issues? Of course. Does it materially achieve anything by itself? I don't think so. Spurring conversations are good, but spurring systematic political and/or socio-economic change is better. The latter can't happen without the former, so that's progress at least.
What do you think about the protests?
