He also said the stickers were placed on protester's cars, not antifa cars. Do you just assume they're all one and the same?

Brilliant. If someone had gone around the "Open Up" protests, and stuck Bernie Sanders stickers on cars, expecting that the Alt Right idiots would vandalize those cars, would you find it equally 'brilliant'?

wmw999 2,534 #186 June 8, 2020 This is kind of like saying that while the police might have been wrong, at least they were wrong with someone you can say was a bad dude (does that mean he "needed killin'?"). We judge people in the courts, according to the same rules for everyone. Every fucking one of us, even if they're wearing a hoodie, or baggy pants (yeah, they look stupid to me, too), a gimme cap with a rebel flag, a suit, jeans, or a hijab.

I'll admit i never watched the video posted by Ron as the usual proof of facts that Ron submits are way, way out there. I did read the title of the video in the link. So here is Scientific American and its response to the BS defamation of Floyd the victim in order to deflect blame, deflect liability. George Floyd's Autopsy and the Structural Gaslighting of America first off the story is a lie. There was no weed, fentanyl or meth in his system, period. Numerous versions of his autopsy have been released. NONE has found these drugs in his system. Hypertension and heart disease were found as contributing factors. Both of those contributing factors are irrelevant to the proximate cause of death. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Completely agree but it always has to be remembered that looters liability is not attached to individual peaceful protestors.Just as the murder next door shouldn't result in a term in prison for you.

Plenty of bystanders were calling on the murderer to stop. What exactly would you suggest a civilian bystander should do? Assault the police office with other armed officers standing there watching and doing nothing, tacitly enabling the murderer? And without the video, the police lies would not have been refuted.

Slashing the tires of protestors, assaulting news media covering the protestors, fabricating incident reports are all acceptable.

It's easy to picture doing the right thing in the comfort of your own home, with the benefit of hindsight and with time to plan out a course of action. It's a different world to doing something on the spur of the moment, faced with 4 cops going about their business and controlling the area, and without actually knowing that something really bad is happening and that someone is going to die. This is not a slam on you in any way - the person who would in real time try and step into that situation is 1 in 10,000. And further, no bystander would have achieved anything anyway. Anyone trying to stop that cop would have simply been pushed back or taken down before getting to the murderer. The only people that realistically could have stopped him were the other officers, and they should have stopped him. Blaming the bystanders is just confusing the issue.
