This scene comes to mind with how people are treating these protests, especially with yesterday's #blackouttuesday.
I guess Michael Richards isn't the best guy to use on the topic of racism though....
Woke up this morning....is it over?
Can we go back to corona and murder hornets?

Nope. DC had a ton of peaceful protests last night. Crowds were the largest yet. Also, there was a larger federal presence in the District last night.
Pretty crazy photo from the Lincoln Memorial.

Seems like NYC was more under control last night. Less looting, way more arrests.

Was the national guard called?

Their Mayor is a POS.....just think he was running for President a few months ago. He basically sat back and let them loot and burn the city.

No national guard.
And yes de Blasio sucks. This is common knowledge.
posted by justincredibleI don't disagree. But in this day and age, as stupid as it is, you really gotta be smarter on social media. I am very glad these platforms weren't around when I was in high school.
I've never been one to really do anything on social media or really be "public" about things. It's never been my style.
The kids need to learn, without a doubt. I wish a school and athletic program (yes, even dance) would confront this head-on. Mandate some policy for her to adhere to before attending and while attending. It's an opportunity to truly educate AND as a Christian institution, to forgive. It's obvious there's a lot of love that needs to go around to people -- the "blast" mentality is something I just cannot get behind.
If an institution (or organization, etc.) fails to make proper steps to educate or correct, then that's a different story.

You really think people like that chick are going to go to college and learn that their racist thoughts/feelings are wrong and change for the better? Maybe a couple might, but I think the majority of them will allow college to make that ideology they have stronger.

No reference to racism but if I were a parent, I'd cringe at the thought of sending kids to college with all of the liberal bullshit they have force fed to them.
Or you could just raise kids to not buy into that. Or just not send them at all.

You realize that just because it’s taught in school, doesn’t mean everyone turns into a liberal?
You act like liberalism is like AIDS or something lol that you catch. Just because you don’t agree with it (and I don’t either), doesn’t mean it’s this dangerous disease.

This, too.
My parents raised me to be whoever I want to be (even though they’re pretty damn conservative). Went to college (OU), super liberal professors, and not liberal at all. Weird!

So its your parents fault how you turned out and act on here? Good to know.
With all of these mass gatherings/riots/protests what do y all think will happen in terms of the Rona?
1. Severe outbreak in cases and deaths in the next couple of weeks?
2. Realization this whole thing was blown way out of proportion?
Just like from day 1, hospitals ability to handle cases will dictate and it will be a on a by-region basis.
I do believe the lockdown implemented on lesser hit areas was overzealous, so no way that happens again.
