If he had a gun this wouldn’t have happened

Idk, there are probably dozens of people out there if not more doing this. He would have to have an AR-15 style rifle to properly protect himself and his store. However supposedly I did read he had a sword he was trying to defend his business with and that’s why he got attacked. He did survive it looks like as someone posted pics of him being attended by EMS and conscious... but that was brutal to watch.

It was sad and heartbreaking to watch

What’s happening in our country is incredibly sad as I reflect on it. We’ve lost over 100k to COVID-19. Many businesses and individuals were hurt severely by the economic shutdown. Now we have a man murdered by cops, cities are burning and innocent people are being hurt.
 
I am so done... so my family's out here and I was planning to take them into Dallas tomorrow just to see the skyline before they leave on Monday and now I'm not sure it'll happen because of this crap. I haven't even told them yet.

and here, all along during this plan Coronavirus was my concern :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Yeah I would stay out of big cities... just not worth the risk with the rioting going on and the violence right now. It stinks for sure but staying safe is key... COVID-19 is the least of our concerns now.
 
I’m a conservative who:

1) knows there is a problem with policing in this country

2) understands law and order is necessary for society to function properly

3) hates what happened to that man as my fellow human being

4) understands that these big businesses have insurance and will be fine

5) understands that many of these small business owners have lost everything and will not be fine

6) believes “racism” is being used to mask a deeper systemic problem in this country
 
On the most basic human level, if I tell the person I employ with my tax dollars to get his knee off my neck because I can’t breathe then it should happen 10 times out of 10. I’m not with the racial divide stuff because I’ve seen plenty of videos of this happening to every color shade on the spectrum. I know that since the inception of the police state, it has and always be the people vs the power. Be safe everybody.

Yep, I'm totally with you on that. What struck me to the core watching that heart wrenching video was the absolute awfulness of what one in a position of power was doing to a fellow citizen who is supposed to be protected by all the rights guaranteed by God and the US Constitution. In the words of the great author, George Orwell, "If you want to see the future of man, picture a boot stamping on his face, forever." I didn't really see it from a racial perspective, but from the bigger human rights one.

Solid post, not sure though I understand #6.....racism is the deeper systemic problem at least for blacks, I think a lot of white America just cant comprehend how different the Americans experience has been for blacks and while things are getting better there are still many issues. I don't agree with the rioting and looting but I understand why its happening.
 
Charleston got destroyed tonight. Every window on king street is broken. Gunshots fired in front of halls Chophouse when an employee fired several times trying to save an older gentlemen from being killed by the looters. They really fu**** it up.
 
Hope we are past the peak with the violence.

Same here. Every major city needs to prepare the national guard today and be ready to act swiftly tonight if more occurs. Anyone have any videos of the national guard from last night? I had seen a few reports that they were effective but no videos yet.
 
Way over the line here.....this kind of stuff will only lead to more protest and violence you dont shoot people on their own porch.....you damn sure dont say Light Em Up right before you do, seriously **** those guys, no signs of riots on a apparently quiet suburban street.....you will have to click the link it wont let it play here for some reason

 
I have a hard time believing there would ever be a national lockdown/martial law, but who knows any more.

Yeah its almost impossible to do anything like that, they would struggle to do it to a few major metro areas....LA had 10k cops on the streets last night and still couldnt contain or control anything....

Cops that think they have the right to act this way are the cause of the situation we are in now.
 
If martial law was declared what would that look like? On a local or national scale?

Like a disaster. We cant solve the problem of oppression by oppressing harder. I'm not saying we use kid gloves but if you go in with a wrecking ball you will certainly have violence and you will just have more outcry of injustices and likely more and increased hate and violence.

You cant address police abuses by solving it with police forces and abuse.
 
I hope so but it take longer to rebuild

Yes unfortunately that’s true, I feel bad for the people property owners for sure. These losers don’t care and it’s disturbing to watch but it will only get worse. All I will say is move out of the cities as fast as you can.

Never lived in the city to begin with! Sadly the city wants to come out this way.One has to wonder if all the rioting was exacerbated by unemployment? Would there have been as intense a riot with as many people if there was more people employed? I think not.

Yeah, I used to live in uptown charlotte. Wouldnt want to do that now.

I don’t think employment has anything to do with it. You had a white guy kill a black guy. That’s all it takes. The people rioting just want to destroy stuff.
 
This is unreal (please excuse the language)


There’s another video of them beating on the windows. They broke into the back of the truck and were stealing packages. All the while this guy was stuck under the wheel and these guys just kept stealing boxes around him. During the LA riots in 92’ rioters nearly beat a truck driver named Reginald Denny to death because he stopped his truck. The FedEx driver had no choice. Very sad

If you want to know why people are still protesting, it's because it's not about one man murdered by police, it's about an entire corrupt system of policing. And you are seeing it in action as police shoot and maim protestors and people standing on their own front porch. You can't defend that sort of action and have any credibility.

No one deserves that. I hope you aren't cheering someone being dragged to death.

Theres actually another angle of this and the looters are piled in the inbetween space between the two truck cabs and are stealing boxes with this guy stuck under the tire right under them still very much alive. No one tries to help. They totally ignore the guy and keep taking boxes.
 
If Me and my family is going down the road. And protesters beat on my car and start breaking my windows. There either gonna get out the way or I’m gonna go anyway. I’d have no intention to run someone over but if your beating on my vehicle and you don’t move then that’s on you. Because I will get out of that dangerous situation for the protection of my family.
