Obama: “My thoughts are with the police officers who were injured”
“There’s no excuse for the type of violence we saw yesterday. When individuals get crowbars and start prying open doors to loot, they’re not protesting, they’re not making a statement. They’re stealing…They’re destroying and undermining businesses and opportunities in their own communities. My understanding is you got some of the same organizers now going back into these communities to try and clean up in the aftermath of a handful of protes- a handful of criminals and thugs who tore up the place.”
There are surely people stupid enough to think that rioting in violation of social distancing directives is more justified than peaceably assembling, a constitutional right. Or even that constitutionally protected peaceful protests against police brutality are more justified in a lockdown environment than constitutionally protected protests against infringements of constitutional rights of all citizens.
Sorry but what constitutional rights are those? The states have the right to shut down businesses due to health concerns. You think you’re pointing out hypocrisy, but all you’re doing is underlining the importance of why these people are risking their lives to protest peacefully. Comparing that to Karen needs a haircut so we’re going to threaten the legislature by disrupting a session with our guns, is completely asinine.
If you can’t see the difference between the two then this discussion will go nowhere.
I cant name a single poster I agree with on everything. Like @anon38216271 said I think convos would go further if some obvious truths didn’t have to be re proven over and over ie prove climate change is real, show where trump is racist etc.
