I'm sure it's a lag in reporting.Hell yeah. Let's hope the protests don't lead to an increase of deadly cases.

This happened in the Bronx on Monday.

The molotov cocktail throwing assholes had the intent to hurt people. We are all lucky they didn't. That is what makes what they did just as bad.However flawed it may be, I’m glad our criminal justice takes into account levels of wrongness.
Further, it plays into the narrative that the protests are riots or whatever other shit certain people want to believe. -
Completely missing the point, but I'm not shocked by that. Violence in all forms is appalling.You don’t actually believe that property destruction is equal to murder, do you?
If so, please never share your thoughts or opinions on this site again. -
The looters were well organized criminal gangs that had nothing to do with the protests. The issue is, the protests gave those fuckers cover. That issue is the ONLY reason we are on a curfew. But since it's not your street and neighborhood being attacked, it doesn't matter to you guys. Silence or shame anyone with a different take.But not as bad as the looters who defiled Goyards.Hear about what has gone on in the Bronx? Think that is fucking ok? Oh, but it's only property, right? It is people's livelihoods. It is something they have built with blood, sweat, and tears, and how they feed their families. Fuck anyone perpetuating violence and criminal activity.

I'm sure they were disappointed there were no cops in the car. And their intent was to have MORE people join them in violence. There was another instance on the same day perpetrated by others where there were 4 police in the van, who were lucky to get out.So the idea that property is more important than black lives pops up again here.
He abetted an accomplice who threw a Molotov into an unoccupied car. You say that makes him no better than the 4 cops who killed George Floyd.
You sure about that?
I, like most here, cannot stand the police in general. However, no violence is acceptable. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Shit, that was outstanding.

I have compassion for him, and I get that he was undeniably angry. However, trying to incite other to violence, and committing violence yourself, makes you no better than the 4 cops who took George Floyd's life.Yeahg, I'm drawing the line at having any semblence of compassion for the molatov cocktail duo.
Protest all you want, practice peaceful civil disobedience, but violence and vandalism only detracts from the cause.-

Suggest starting this at 8:15 for some perspective.
Taking the NY Post article at face value, those two face 5-20 years for damaging police property. There is a significant chance they serve more time than the officers that stood by and watched George Floyd be murdered on video. At the very least, you can be 100% sure that the system isn’t working for those two right now in the same way it is for the George Floyd’s murderer and his accomplices.You do realize that these two did not just send Molotov Cocktails into the police car, right? They were actively trying to get protesters involved and were trying to pass these out (no one took them). What they attempted feels like incitement.

I am still trying to figure out the Molotov-Cocktail throwing lawyers' motive. Definitely not right wing folks.

I think this gets to the heart of the argument.
Are too high a percentage of Americans too stupid or ignorant for democracy?
I agree with you that they should be able to run opinion labeled as opinion from pretty much whomever and it's the responsibility of the people to be intelligent enough to decide what is obviously not in the best interest of themselves and the country.
Unfortunately the brainwashing of the republican party on unsuspecting idiots in vast numbers begs to question if now too many Americans are too dumb and if the institutions have to switch to saving America from American stupidity. Which of course is not democratic at all.
This is an interesting very difficult issue.
Unfortunately, you know the answer. Yes, a high percentage of Americans are too stupid or ignorant for democracy.

As a white person, I have been the victim of crime but never called 911. My wife has never called 911. My parents have never called 911. This is a recent phenomena of fucking wierdos who expect a third party to fix situations that make them uncomfortable or angry. If a person feels like they are disrespected in a store they call the cops. If a store owner gets into a disagreement with a customer they call the cops. This isnt about race. Its about regards. Regards have decided that cops are umpires and they summon them to mediate disputes. This has some awful consequences.
This times 1 million.
The only times I have called the cops willingly were either when my car was broken into, my apartment was broken into, or this one time, in Houston, when I heard an alarm going off (sounded like a fire alarm), but could not identify the source. I called the non-emergency number, told them what I heard, that I did not see or smell smoke, and could they come investigate. Come to find out, my back neighbor had a shed where he had some old fire alarms from when he replaced them in the house, and the batteries were dying, so they were going off. It was all very nice, but I was worried someone could be incapaciated or having an emergency. I have had plenty of disputes with people, but I either remove myself from the situation or try and deescalate it.

Je sui whatever that French place with the green boxes is
Goyard. And I think your phrase is Je suis ___________. Suis is the connation of the first person singular (Je, or I in Englsh) for the irregular verb être (i.e. to be).
So basically, Je suis reine translates into I am queen.
Nous sommes Surly. We are Surly.

I stand with women who can wear lululemon. I have respect for women who can't and therefore don't wear lululemon. Nature's balance.
I just do not like their stuff, and find the quality for the $$ lacking.
I like Define your Inspiration (Houston brand) and Sweaty Betty.

And now for the comment. Even if EVERYTHING Svetlana said is true, why the fuck would you call the cops? I mean, just go somewhere else?

AHHH, NO CR Penelope!
In all seriousness, I would expect 150mm Americans to vote this November, surpassing the previous total by 10mm.
But there's a big reason I don't think that's gonna happen. and again, no CR you fucking morons.
75% of polling station volunteers are over 65 years of age. They're rightfully concerned about their health by spending hours a day in tight quarters at the start of flu/Covid season.
We're just not gonna have as many polling stations operating this time around.
Then perhaps we all need to volunteer. Might be a good way to get involved.

I mean, they're literally marching in the streets to protest injustice, but sure lol
Let's see if this translates to voter turnout in November. It should, but I have a bad feeling it won't.
