    "At all" the post he quoted was of a protest being done peacefully, I choose to raise up their "voices".

    So I see the indoctrination of “All whites enslaving blacks” has made it to our shores thanks to the wonderful media we have. I’m not even gonna link the disgusting video of that Limerick boy getting his head kicked in by a group of black lads today while being blamed for slavery.

    It’s a blatant hate crime.

    It will not be reported as one.

    It will be somehow justified.

    If it was the other way round our cities would be burning right now.

    I do apologise BUTTTT when you're a BIG Mr Trump supporter like Millions of Americans and myself of course....well I tend to get carried away. And when I see guys Like 'Mayor' Rudy(sorry I still call him mayor)protecting and defending his leader like a real man should when he sees injustice and total fake news being spewed about him(on this occasion by Piers Morgan)well I just love it especially from such high profile guys like Rudy.

    Saw a few videos of Santa Monica and Hollywood,seems to be fcuk all protesting and more looting than anything else....place needs a big clean up,protests have been ruined by the rioting and looting the whole thing is out of control and needs some order restored

    How recent?

    Posted an hour ago, Los Angeles and Southern California looked quite tame:

    https://abc7.com/hollywood-protest-west-los-angeles-george-floyd/6231579/

    Heck here's - this looks like a fantastic live feed, showing 9+ different cities across the US, and it's still live at time of post, with 2.5 hours of archived footage. I don't see any rioting and looting, I see protesting. I see police officers and demonstrators engaging with one another (dialog). The streamer is aggregating streams from across the US and putting them on one screen. dead handy.

    If it's 'real' I'd agree 100%. Just be careful there are race stoking idiots everywhere. Has anyone confirmed this video is recent and not staged?
    I've lived in Limerick for a long time, I would have thought people have other things to worry about.

    Quantify it, then. It's really easy to shout "It's loads, Ted!" It's quite another to demonstrate the scale you are referring to. Nobody here is denying looting and rioting has occurred. The way you go on about it, the vibe you get off is that you feel like the scale of destruction is not just apoplectic but utterly apocalyptic. So let's cut to it what scale is it, are we talking the Boston Tea Party, the London Bombings, or Hiroshima?

    How's about focus on the message of the protests that is what should be the talking points.. This thread has been a fcuking **** show since the rioters highjacked a legitimate protest, you had people jumping on it immediately. Yet they fained a lack of understanding/need more evidence when there was 10 minute long video of the murder at their fingertips.
    You then have people jumping on a video (from a white supremacist Twitter account) people saying 400 years slavery and that is proof of blacks attacking a white teenager, one of the attackers I think is white (open to be corrected/the attack was sickening anyway) I'll wait for more evidence before I Sabre rattle "look the blacks are attacking us" if it turns out to be blacks and with the words spoken in it it's racism and should be dealt as such in the courts.

    I think the Democrat-biased media became exactly what Trump gaslit them to be, because he has insisted for so many years on doing everything in his power to ensure they are who he says they are. I'm not sure how long the journalism of the 4th estate is suppose to supposedly be empirically unbiased and neutral while reporting on the remarks smearing the very same journalists. The right is holding the left to an impossible standard they don't themselves feel the need to be accountable to. I don't know at what time in American history the press was ever completely politically neutral - that seems entirely antithetical to a free press; the Federalist Papers being the primordial example.

    Still no looting on any live feed tonight that I've seen, which is now at least a dozen major cities.

      So you're condoning police brutality whenever they feel like it's justified by the actions of the protestor? Good to know where you stand.

      • Trump tells russia to spy on Clinton.
      • He advocated to inject bleach.
      • He colluded with Russia
      • "They're brining their criminals, their they're rapists."
      • When Trump answered "Ask China" to an asian reporter she whined "why would you ask me specifically" press picked it up as racist.

      A few examples.
      He's been called bunker baby for the last week while it's the secret service who decided when he goes down there. It all just seems so disingenuous

      I guess the best way to describe it; the media seem to be more like activists.

      I don't mind them taking a political view, as long as they are fair and include all the facts.
      Now it seems left-wing media has been brainwashed by an ideology, the ideology of intersectionality.
      Intersectionality posits that an oppressed person is often the best person to judge their experience of oppression; however, this can create paradoxes when people who are similarly oppressed have different interpretations of similar events. Such paradoxes make it very difficult to synthesize a common actionable cause based on subjective testimony alone.
