Deblasio is a joke. Wasn’t he just a week or so ago cracking down on people walking in parks? What happened to the COVID lockdown?

Here is a quote from elsewhere:

“I am struggling to really care about these COVID orders from the governors and mayors when they are basically silent on the huge mobs in their cities who are surely spreading COVID to each other day and night. Makes it seem pretty silly to be worried about going to get a haircut, no?”

For the record, I have been and still remain concerned as much as before about COVID spread. I’m not suddenly changing my tune like so many on the left are doing.

No it’s lost, the media wants hate and crime and division. I’m all for peaceful protest but you still have to follow the rules and laws. Not all police officers are bad just like how not all blacks are thugs. You will have bad seeds in all walks of life unfortunately but 2 violent acts don’t make a right.

It's only lost if you choose to lose it. That's on you.

Yea it lost me before it started, protest and riots don’t work. Having a black box on twitter and Instagram doesn’t work, canceling July 4th won’t work. Things will always happen that don’t make sense and you just have to try and be better. Hate never wins.

Okay, that's actually worse. So you just do not acknowledge the problems that are the cause of the protests and riots. You never lost it because you never had it or are ignoring it.

This thread essentially just confirms what I said. It's too uncomfortable for many to confront and discuss actual structural problems, so instead all they'll talk about is rioting and looting and will completely ignore why there are protests.

Everybody was on the same page before the riots.

The whole world has problems not just the black Americans. The poor me Mentality is old. All we can do is control ourselves and try to do the right thing.

There is never a cause for a riot where you burn or loot innocent people’s property in a country where the poor are many times richer than the other two/thirds of the world, bar none. End of story.

1. Why are you lumping together protests and riots? They are not even in the same ballpark. Riots are a nonstarter as far as most law abiding citizens are concerned.
2. Where does the concern about social distancing to limit the spread of COVID fit into all of this?
3. Don Lemon on CNN is a joke. He was practically giving the ok for rioting last night because some folks are "frustrated"

You are a making up a strawman to knock it down. No one is saying riots are okay. You are continuing to not talk about the issue that is the current cause of protests and riots.

I'm not lumping together protests and riots. Are you?
I have plenty of concern for social distancing. Do you?
No one is supporting what he said.
You guys go make up and knock down strawmen somewhere else.

Who has a poor me mentality? People who couldn't get a haircut because of pandemic related restrictions, or those being murdered by our own government with little to no consequences?

Is the government killing innocent people everyday? No. You can pick and choice what you will but one or 2 bad seeds isn’t a pattern. Yes it’s a problem but what’s happening now isn’t the solution.

There is NO cause to set fire to an innocent person’s business other than being an non-caring idiot. That is the cause right there.
