Dystopian America

[xer0s]

The country is burning. People are pissed (rightly so). Worldwide pandemic + large crowds of rioting and protest. 2020 is so fuct...

[Whiskey 7]

Yes, seeing it al on the news here recent nights... just so glad I am not there.

Look, I understand the emotion for a black death in custody but not the senseless and continued riots. I suggest opportunist criminals are rampant and I'd be shooting the bastards!

No racsim is intended as in Australia, it is acceptable to say 'black deaths in custody'.

[Captain]

Look, I understand the emotion for a black death in custody but not the senseless and continued riots

So what do you recommend they should do?

[mrd]

I suggest opportunist criminals are rampant and I'd be shooting the bastards!

Sounds sensible.

[Whiskey 7]

So what do you recommend they should do?

As officialdom? Shoot looters on sight!
As society? Use the full force of the law and judicial system and hang the murdering bastard!

I just don't see the continued civil unrest is going to bring back the dead. Better get the perpetrator off the street and in jail for years. Just my opinion, no more or less.

Senseless and continued riots, i suggest is a slippery downhill slope in pandemic times especially with the populace armed and ready to shoot :paranoid:

[Eraser]

-> people protest against police brutality.
-> old man whiskey suggests more police brutality as a solution.


Yeeeeaaaahhhh, about that suggestion..... :rolleyes:

[Whiskey 7]

Protests are one thing. Shit I have protested and shaken the gates of our state parliament house grounds, I have a photo somewhere but arson, riots and looting is another matter all together.

I'll close saying God bless America. You need it!

[Whiskey 7]

Just watching the 6pm Sunday news here. With 29 cities across the USA ablaze, people snatching automatic rifles off Police in the street, anarchy everywhere... Buildings set afire a block from the White House.

No this is no protest against Police brutality. It is mayhem. Good luck USA. You need it......

[Doombrain]

So when the bodies pile up, TV show the piles of dead looters being moved away and days of police shooting people they are going to calm down? These people have nothing left after Covid-19 and Trump.

I thought the older generation were meant to be wiser.

[phantasmagoria]

Every day it gets closer to the horrific alternate future where Biff is president.

[xer0s]

Trump does resemble Biff actually...

Whiskey, I like you but your old world racist bullshit has spewed out of every orifice right now, not to mention your past love of the death penalty and desire to turn the Middle East into a "glass crater". It really says a lot about the society you were raised in.

The "full force of the law" has been murdering and subjugating these people for centuries in America. It took a long time but they finally realized the law is not on their side, that no matter how legally they criticize the system or how peacefully they protest against the abuse, nothing will ever change. Just because of these protests, those cops that were initially going to walk free have been charged with murder. The power is in people's hands right now and they're demanding the same justice for all victims of police brutality—and hopefully they won't stop anytime soon. America is a war-loving failed state that prioritizes profit for its elites over basic needs for 99% of the population. What did you expect was going to happen when these people had even their measly slave-wage jobs disappear during the pandemic? The jobs that still required them to be on food stamps just to survive?

You probably think black people are just a bunch of lazy crackheads that prefer living in ghettos, so I'd recommend you kickstart your basic education by reading about Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921 and Gary Webb. Then you may want to read up on Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Nelson Mandela and all the laws they "broke".

Congratulations! You are now on your way to joining the rest of the 21st century. And if you don't like it, feel free to go join the neo-Nazis and shoot some black people.

[scared?]

Laffs at the retards who think this is only about cops killing black ppl... This is what happens when capitalism is left unchecked... It's only gonna get worse unless the rich ppl aren't stopped...

[shaft]

lol@whiskey thinking getting the perpetrator off the street would’ve ever happened when you have guys like the head of the Minneapolis police union attending Trump rallies saying shit like this. Union bosses have immense power and set the tone from the top.

Shoot looters on sight!

That's some disappointingly ignorant shit, right there.

[surgeon62]

This is probably some good perspective for someone looking from the outside in...

Police also need to answer to the rule of law, they are not above the law. In fact, they need to be held to a higher standard since they are the ones responsible for upholding the law. By your argument, we should be shooting cops on sight, especially for their actions as depicted by the links Eraser posted of police brutality - many of which are against normal peaceful protesters and even people just carrying about their normal life.

I'm not justifying looters (there are relatively small groups of violent citizens and looters compared to peaceful ones), but to pretend that looters are the bigger more worrisome issue here is just plain dumb. To believe that escalating violence in a time when that violence has already claimed innocent lives is just flat out dangerous.

[xer0s]

Just remember, 99.9999% of Americans are not out protesting or rioting...

[Eraser]

[youtube]v4amCfVbA_c[/youtube]

Yeah man, I feel this is an important video to watch.
I kind of got upset over the looting as well, but seeing it from the perspective Trevor Noah outlines here is enlightening.

[Whiskey 7]

There just seems to be thousands depicted on the TV involved in protest, arson and looting. Just reading
• Los Angeles declares state of emergency
• Donald Trump taken into a special secure bunker
• US cities are imposing curfews

America :tear: :tear:

@obsidian, I totally agree. Police are not above the law and should be handed increased penalty/sentence. I've yet to view links posted by Eraser of police brutality but will..

@ Transient, yes might be ignorance. Thinking on my statement, you can't shoot looters on-sight as they are likely to shoot back and then where would you be.. Martial law then civil war..

@ Shaft... I had no idea of the ingrained problems within the Police force

@ surgeon62 I will also view that video

Mr Captain Mazda. Racist, neo-Nazi! I am speechless and say you're so wrong but you believe of me what you like but understand, I too will not accept police brutality.
I would have thought the officer and others about at the centre of this would have been charged with murder and didn't know they were going to walk free, save the protests. Still looting is a step too far. What's next, open rape and murder in the street?

@ Eraser, thanks for all those links. I will view.
