The Protest Thread

this shit is going to get trump re-elected. why are the democrats so stupid?

tree may actually be digesting a red pill. Let's all give him some space.

He’s not there yet. But I’m working on it.

Red pill is a matrix analogy, it means seeing the truth, not going republican, guys. I'm all about truth, and Trump is the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen.

Oh man, tree really shut you down.

Is that what you actually think happened here

Awesome. I love your enthusiasm. I haven’t listened to any music in a couple of months. Tonight may have to be a Gigaton night. Too bad I’m out of weed.

I hope Barkley doesn't get cancelled for what he said on Inside the NBA last night. He was right.

Shaq agreed:

“ I have to agree with Charles, this one is sort of lumped in. You have to get a warrant signed and some states do allow no-knock warrants. And everyone was asking for murder charges. When you talk about murder, you have to show intent. A homicide occurred and we're sorry a homicide occurred. When you have a warrant signed by the judge, you are doing your job, and I would imagine that you would fire back."

Did B die in a flood of his own tears?

I want to stomp this dread head cowboy guy with a horse

Fingers crossed

You're all about owning the libtard sheeple aren't you? This comment reads like you are a 10 year old bully in the playground.

Totally on brand.

protesting against police violence is one thing, making it a solely race issue is another

I read a big gotcha article about nba owners who contribute to conservative political candidates, as if that was not allowed or something. People vote with their pocketbook. Shocking.

Being a conservative is not allowed. Period. End of discussion.

Conservatism isn’t what this is

Imagine your child was Breonna Taylor. She was a promising paramedic (?) asleep in her bed and cops looking for drugs in the wrong house kick in the door and she ends up dead in her bed with, I don't know, half a dozen bullet wounds. You leader's response to you is a shrug, "we got the house wrong, and sorry, that sort of thing happens. No one is at fault.". This wasn't a tree falling on her house. This was people shooting her. Shooting at a person that shot at them and missing him, missing so badly they were actually charged with a crime of negligently missing.

Even if they'd had the right house, the level of fire power and the use of a no-knock warrant and an assault team is absolutely absurd for a drug offense.

The response of Breonna's community is pretty tame given the number of people who fucked up that night, and the fact that none of them appear to give a shit. The laws are wrong. The execution of the laws are wrong. The detectives we're wrong. The assault team was wrong. Fuck anyone who supports keeping that pile of shit in place with a que sera sera.

I don’t know too much about this case, not really gonna spend time this on this, but I think you may be leaning on some facebook facts here:
