The destructive mayhem and riots around the US, sorry I mean "peaceful protesters"

No. Ill continue to follow the reports and data.

 

Okay, you be sure and let us know when you've got the hard numbers on those internet Nazis.

 

Having demonstrated against these protesters in the past I've become quite familiar with them over the years and most of them are the lunatic fringe socialists and anarcho-marxist trash associated with the ANSWER Coalition, which was originally organized by the commies in the Workers World Party. Back in 2005, Christopher Hitchens, a Trotskyist himself, wrote an interesting article about the origins of the WWP in "Anti-War, My Foot":

To my knowledge ANSWER has little to do with Soros and his Open Society Foundations, although some of the groups within the coalition may be funded by him, but ANSWER has been diligent about concealing the financial support it receives. There are a few core groups, most notably the WWP and Party for Socialism and Liberation, but most of them are loosely affiliated with one another and the coalition.

That being said, they've been the vanguard of many Leftist "protest" movements for years and have reinvented themselves numerous times, but their anti-American and anti-capitalist agenda and message haven't changed.

 

We are not discussing Godwin's Law.

 

May I take a gander and say 00% ?

 

100% impossible

 

Of all the data you presented, this right here was my favorite-

"fighter jets"



The Boogaloo Nazis are going to be doing strafing runs over the riots in their fighter jets!

Aaaaah the left wing paranoia kookiness is so much fun.

 

The math checks out.

 

Let's be generous and say .05%, and sure we can prosecute those members too while we're at it, but antifa is the biggest threat to American domestic security.

 

I'll grant them .05% so they can revel in their Illinois Nazi persecution fantasies.

 

Tulsa 1921: Black Wallstreet.

 

And now we're digging up 100-year-old persecution porn?

 

No. Just a reminder.

 

Sounds more like an obsession.

 

It would to someone blind to racism. I'm not accusing you of being racist, but certainly blind to the current racial issues with law enforcement and the historical context.

 

It isn't about that, it's about who they are. Slavery ended with the Civil War, Jim Crow ended in the 60's, we're now in 2020. Who here earnestly believes that they'll change, they'll be different. Where is there any tangible evidence to suggest this?

There isn't any. Because you see, "the man" brings them down. "the man" in their head will never go away. Not now, not 50 years from now, not 100 years from now. We could pay 'reparations' in full, and even still we'll be here again and we know it.

 

Boats have yawns similar to a ketch; nothing to do with yaw.

 

Oh, I'm blind?

You look at hordes of left wing lunatics rioting across the country and you see right wing extremists, and I'm the one with the visual impairment?

 

There are people who play special victims in every race and ethnicity. Not all racist accusations are true. Living in 4 different states and traveled cross country 4 times, I do understand there all types of people in both major political parties and within races.

This aforementioned understanding does not preclude these racially motivated videos and pictures we have, or the plethora of history and research.

Salient quote:

"The United States Department of Justice statistics are based on small percentage of police departments that voluntarily submitted their case numbers. Other institutes and agencies have begun collecting and disseminating data on police misconduct and the numbers are alarming. In 2015, 1,307 people in the United States were killed by police officers. Every 7 hours, police officers kill an American citizen. Black Americans are more than twice as likely to be unarmed when killed by police as Whites and Black American boys and men are three times more likely to be killed by a police officer than White boys and men (Johnson, Hoyer, & Heath, 2014). Native Americans are the only group as likely to be killed by police as Blacks. Excessive force is one of the most common forms of police misconduct. According to the Cato Institute’s National Police Misconduct Reporting Project, 57% of these cases involve physical violence such as use of a baton and 23% involve use of a fire arm. For every 1,000 people killed by police officers, only one is convicted of a crime. The homicide indictment rate for citizens is 90% but the indictment rate for police officers is 1%." (Bold mine).

Basics of methodology:

"Methodology for Critical Review of the Literature"

"We conducted a review of the psychological literature by searching in the various databases such as PSYCHINFO utilizing police, police brutality, and police violence, along with the search terms race-based traumatic stress, racist-incident– based trauma, racism and trauma, intergenerational trauma, and complex trauma. Trauma Lens of Police Violence against Ethnic Minorities 855 Inclusion search terms were police, violence, brutality, trauma, race, racism, traumatic stress, and historical trauma. The primary focus of the article is the United States, although there is brief mention of global police violence. There has been a small but noteworthy subset of scholars within the study of racist incidents such as racially motivated police brutality that have adopted the framework of traumatology (Aymer, 2016; Grills et al., 2016; Pieterse et al., 2012). We add to this literature by attending to intersectional identity factors, challenges to the trauma model of police violence, and counseling suggestions."

 

Now we can begin a discussion of statistics for the disproportionate attacks on and killing of African Americans by law enforcement within the US.

It's fun to watch people concoct conspiracy theories to justify ignorant actions of people that are stuck in group think. Do either one of you think about this garbage before you post it?


Here are the chiefs of the dens of KKK that you two are referring to. I guess they are too stupid to know what is going on in their own departments.
