America coming apart at the seams?

[glalt]

The sooner the people who are funding and organizing these terrorists are prosecuted, the sooner this senseless violence will stop. Those lunatic criminals certainly are not smart enough to organize themselves. Why it took the president so long to figure this out is anyone's guess. You can bet that the libtards will try everything and anything to stop a law outlawing and labeling these people as terrorists. We must hope they don't succeed in blocking this action.

Anyone see Trump's photo op holding a bible?

How would the United States respond if the leader of any other country used tear gas and flash bombs to violently disperse a peaceful protest in order to walk over to a place of worship and pose for the cameras with a religious text?

Really? A photo opp in front a church that didn’t want him there, holding a Bible from which he cannot name a single verse, all to prove he’s not a coward hiding in his bunker again.

America could very well be coming apart at the seams.

For those who refuse to see the riots for what they really are....here is the truth!

Obviously you don't know the difference between a peaceful protest and a riot. Peaceful protesters do NOT destroy, burn and loot. People like you are a major part of the problem. I am disappointed that the president failed to take needed effective action sooner.

Why are you assuming this particular protest wasn't peaceful? It's on video:

https://www.click2houston.com/news/nati ... -in-riots/

Was pre-planned and timed to coincide with Trump's walk for his sick photo op.

It's people like you, who lump everyone in with violent provocateurs, who are a HUGE part of the problem. If up to you there would be no protests allowed. I get the MAGA mentality. Trump could call in airstrikes and you'd defend it.

That video did not start early enough to tell the full story.
Fake news

Hi Anefarious
I agree people have the right to peacefully protest their civil rights etc.
The problem in this case is that for days now these protests have turned into rioting and looting
you mentioned lump everyone in. that's the problem one minute it's a protest next a riot how do the authorities know what's about to happen, perhaps the time at the moment has passed for peaceful protests maybe they should wait until the looters and rioters have been arrested, how does the saying go "sleep with dogs and you get fleas"

[mickojak]

Also, those protesters are blocking off a public road.
That's not what peaceful protesters do.
They got what they deserved and got a message for all "peaceful" protesters

Hmm, kinda looks like they have taken a page or 2 out of those US supported "freedom fighters" in Hong Kong, to me. Must be looking for CIA support, I guess.

This thread has little real value from what I a seeing.

Law & order lined up against those that view the killing as part of institutional racism.

Neither side will budge

I see it as law and order up against cold blooded Murder. Justice is not being served. Are the Police above the law, or not???

2.others of his ilk are on notice
3. Rioters and pilferers are running rampant
4. Authorities are trying to return to order.

No offence but what is it you want to happen

I am so glad that my children grew up for some of their formative years in Austin Texas. They had great friends of all flavours, learned a bit of Spanish with youngest son's best mate an African American.

They have grown up fine individuals, recognising the dreadful trait of racism, they heard first hand from a school friend whose father was a cop, of his boasting going to East Austin and harassing and beating niggers. They witnessed first hand of families coming to BBQ's and social events, then turning tail on arrival when they saw coloured people in our home.

They were exposed to the bigotry ingrained in a significant percentage of the American population. They also were exposed to good people who spoke out against that ugly truth.

My children are better people for that experience.

I traveled extensively while living in the USA, visiting and doing business in more than 20 states, I found it was not just Austin and not just rednecks who embraced racism, I found it in many places even amongst highly educated people, it is a blot on American society

Liberalism is rotting our society. When people are no longer responsible for their own actions it is simply an invitation for them to destroy, burn and steal. When law abiding citizens are no longer permitted to protect the property they have built and worked for, nothing is protecting them from the mobs who have never worked for anything. Libtards are trying to disarm all of us removing our right to protect ourselves. When criminals break into our homes, they should expect to be killed by the homeowner. Why should a business be any different? Libtards have turned us into a nation of wimps. Is a life more important than my property? You can bet your bleeding heart that a criminal life is forfeited when I and my family are attacked. No way should I be prosecuted by the law when I am defending myself, family and property. Criminals have no respect for the law and the only defense we have is putting the fear of being killed in them. When a home invader is killed, the libtard news interviews his family and we hear that the home invader was such a good boy and didn't deserve to be killed. Such BS, they got what they deserved. If you have no respect for the law, at the very least, you should fear it.

Yes, it is indeed an insult from a conservative. I am disappointed that it took Trump so long to label them as terrorists. Watch what happens now. The libtards will do everything and anything to block the terrorist label. They want to protect people who are funding and organizing these lunatics.

This episode was started for one reason and one reason only, the brutal murder of a black man by a thug in a police uniform, not by progressives, not by the press, not by anti Trump citizens.

Since then, opportunists, criminals and those opposed to the status quo have taken advantage and should be arrested and prosecuted if they carry out illegal acts, protesting is not illegal. However, in reality nothing would have happened with another brutal murder.

Trump has also been an opportunist, the disgusting photo op in front of the church, preceded by police illegally tear gassing a peaceful and 100% legal protest was also nothing other than breaking the law to take advantage and holding up a bible to play to his base was pathetic and disrespectful to those who genuinely value the bible

It backfired, not because of the press, not because of the protesters, not because of Progressives. It backfired because people are not stupid, and saw he was guilty of using violence and illegal tactics to take advantage of a dire situation. He should also be arrested for his actions which were 100% illegal.

We all should have no time for looters and no time for opportunists doing illegal acts no matter what side of the political spectrum they belong to
