The only reason so many of these racist fucks showed up is that they knew they were facing a small number of protesters. In general most of these right wing nuts are scared cowards who talk a far bigger game than they can actually deliver. In most cases if there aren’t 3+ of them for every black protester they’ll keep…

He’s an instrument of god and is passing god’s word on. He says rally. They must rally. They die, well.....he is an instrument of god. Maybe god is trying to get rid of some assholes?

I’ve heard this from a friend who has been going to protests as well. Most of it is peaceful but the media is showing only the worst elements (nothing new), and the police are instigating violence by dispersing crowds they don’t have to.

Same for me. About 20 years ago I had the cops called on me because I was cutting my own grass in a neighborhood where the population was mostly old white people. I was wearing jeans and a tee and grass stained Converse and was currently clearing the underside of the mower when I was rolled up on.

The suspension was destroyed. He got it fixed but I can’t remember how much it cost. I was about 7 at the time but it was funny as hell to a kid like me to watch my step mother telling him it was a bad idea and have the back give out.

I’ll add that to the list. I’ve actually gotten some responses that have ranged from hand wringing to outright anger because they weren’t aware of some of these things.

Stopped to see if this was an old VHS of my dad doing the landscaping in his yard. Wasn’t him but it was a close dramatization. 

This exactly.

If your response to seeing a large group of people ahead of you on the road is to keep going without trying to exercise any caution or concern you don’t need to be driving.

If you are out protesting I highly recommend having the following items in addition to any other things you carry.

My hope is that if he calls in the military to try and hold him power after he is either voted out or runs out of terms is that the military will arrest him and anyone in his cabinet who is supporting his refusal.

The same place the vast majority of them always are these days, up their corporate masters’ asses.

He’s probably lucky that there wasn’t a subsequent Freedom Fire on his boat considering the rage there over his wife’s actions. 

Innocent people run every day because they often know that they aren’t going to get justice or a fair hearing/judgement because of he said/she said, or having no witnesses to back their claim when someone else has witnesses willing to lie for them. This just happens to be on a more visible stage.

That’s my worry too. We have so many small businesses hurting right now, too many barely staying afloat, and he could likely bury many more if he does something like that. 

Thank you. I appreciate the sentiment. Looking back on it I realize that I was very lucky to have my dad in a position where he could so something, and the fact that both of my parents were teachers gave me a chance that other kids didn’t get.

Let me tell you what I experienced at the hands of a racist teacher in 4th grade because it has long term impacts that some people don’t get.

The question is what does he think we going to do about the other thugs like Trump, Putin, Boris, Balsackio, etc. that are making shit up as they go and hiding numbers?

You’re correct I think. The rule seems to be if your country’s leader is an egotistical coward then the numbers are probably off significantly because they can’t look worse than the other world leaders. 

As the game stands now it needs more help than Arnie’s voice can provide it. There are some serious balance issues going on that I think may be harder to solve than people expect.
