Biden did as well.

Is this condemning it? first his tweet then from the article you are hyperventilating over in the other thread

"Ultimately, it’s going to be up to a new generation of activists to shape strategies that best fit the times," he wrote. "But I believe there are some basic lessons to draw from past efforts that are worth remembering."


He also addressed the violence that has broken out at protests in several cities, although the exact root of that violence has been disputed, especially as it differs between locations.
In his post, Obama requested people "not excuse violence, or rationalize it, or participate in it."

Only line in Biden's speech

“We need to distinguish between legitimate peaceful protests and opportunistic violent destruction,” Biden said.

Is either one condemnation?

Harmless civil discourse that can lead to arrests.
You can play the semantic game all you want, you still haven't denied that you support breaking the law as a legitimate form of protest. I guess you'll just ignore the Interstates that were blocked by protesters in Minnesota. A federal crime called disrupting/interfering in interstate commerce.


But yeah, shit like that is perfectly harmless until an ambulance or fire truck needs to get through and every second counts. But who cares about anyone else, right? I be engaging my right to disrupt other people's lives because I'm pissed off.

“Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response,” he said. “But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.”

Sounds great.

Won’t happen.
Of course it won't. Because govts don't really give a shit about incidents like this insofar as they can continue to use them as political hay. Why else would nobody in the entire f*cking state of Minnesota do anything about the numerous complaints against Chauvin, and then suddenly act like they give two goddam shits about justice when he murders a Black man. They can f*ck...right...off.

Clearly people are pissed off enough to peacefully protest and display public discourse.

If they are breaking the law they run the risk of arrest.

I don't see these quotes in either article we are discussing can you point it out? Or are we going to his essay now?

Maybe they should just show up at public buildings carrying weapons.

Peaceful public discourse.

I've posted several articles showing that most of the vandalism and looting is being done by right wing white supremacists. They want a race war and Trump is egging them on. He is willing to use the US military to escalate the brutality. Trump supporters are fukked in the head.

Newsflash: So-called anti-racists get all racist about George Floyd's murder assuming it was racially motivated and not just some 'roid rager engaging in "normal" police brutality. And then to double down on their stupidity they blame Trump for something that happened in a Democrat controlled city in a state that's been a Democrat bastion for 100 years, with the powers that be in that state doing NOTHING about the numerous prior complaints against Chauvin.



Meanwhile, so-called anti-racists on the left in Canada applauded Prince Groper's racist gun ban. While the nation's highly questionable Chief Public Health Officer declares that protesting Floyd's murder in groups of hundreds or thousands is perfectly safe during this pandemic, as long as you don't yell. But don't you DARE go to the park for a relaxing day of enjoying the weather and risk spreading Covid or else you're an irresponsible, anti-social jerk. Seriously, you can't make this shit up.



Great distraction for Team Groper though. Pay attention to the abuse of power by 4 cops in a foreign country so you'll avoid noticing Prince Groper abusing what little power he has while working hard to gain more power to abuse.






Well..............they ARE LIE-berals!


And as I have been condemning them for their greed and selfishness and ILLOGICAL political choices all along


WHY THEN would anybody suddenly expect LOGIC from LIE-berals at this time!


And I must confess that when I first read your piece about how the gun ban by Our idiot Boy was "racist" - first wondered if you


were being sarcastic! But then it occurred to me that OF COURSE THE GUN BAN IS RACIST!


You are quite right in that! Our idiot Bou has BANNED the LEGAL and LICENSED PROPERTY - meaning the long guns



legally used by WHITE PEOPLE!


And Our idiot Boy has IGNORED the ILLEGAL and UNLICENSED and quite ILLEGAL and MURDEROUS possession


of restricted weapons in the hands of black gang bangers who happen to be killing each other!

Like in Michigan? Not a single person was shot/hurt/killed and not a single shot was fired. Sorry there weren't any casualties for you to gloat about.

No, but they ARE trying to pin it all on Trump, including yourself.
Chauvin had numerous complaints about him before he murdered George. Yet not a SINGLE Democrat official in Minneapolis OR Minnesota did anything about it. Now suddenly known woman beater Keith Ellison is seeking "justice" for George Floyd. Where was he when all the complaints had been filed against Chauvin? Where was Waltz? Where was the mayor of Minneapolis? Where was Amy Klobuchar? NONE of them wanted to do anything about the complaints, including those who COULD have done something. And that is something that is becoming more and more entrenched in party politics; Drop the ball, badly, and then blame the other guy or anyone else you can, except yourself of course, for what happens after.
Where was Amy Klobuchar?
