    The criminals will get the guns illegally, but those who need the guns to protect themselves will not. In Chicago the killings average 4 every 3 days - and that's not going to stop.

    Anyway when I said shot in the streets, I was thinking of political killings like Seth Rich and others. He was killed supposedly by a burglar after he gave Wikileaks information about the DNC and what they did to Bernie Sanders before the last elections. This is the real reason Assange is rotting in jail.

    America was always rural. There are even bears 30 miles from NYC, so guns were always needed to protect from wild and/or rabid animals. The main reason though we were given the right to bear arms, was to protect us from the encroachment of government on people's freedoms - something we're seeing now with the over reach of the Federal government. Anyway I've always been a strong advocate for gun rights for one reason - I know my history. As an example:

    When there was an insurrection in the Ottoman Empire, to quash it the Turks would take the most prominent men into custody. They would then tell the others that to insure peace, they will be released if all the guns were handed in. Once they were handed in, they would massacre them. The first mass massacre occurred during the Greek revolution on the island of Chios - which at that time was the wealthiest place in the Mediterranean. The Turks killed and enslaved over 60 thousand people, and 100 years later, they used same method to kill off the Armenians.

    Therefore my word of advice to all Americans: NEVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS.

    I dost believe that to be free
    we shouldn't give our guns to thee.


    So we can worship as we please
    ere standing, or upon our knees.


    And in the place that we so choose.
    That's something that we cannot lose -

    to liberal laws or swords so cruel
    and brandished by the ones who rule.
    - Jeannette

    They found that the restrictions made by the cops did it. That and underlying health issues.
    Took 8 whole minutes of lynching him to get him killed with underlying health issues.
    That's how insignificant them health issues actually were.

    And how you can walk with such a burden of an opinion is not weird. Them cops are just racist thugs of their time where it's normal among many to lynch a black man like that. Plenty of people support it.

    Absolutely totally not relevant since this sort of thing happens to black people plenty of times by white racist thugs with badges while their buddies make sure the black person is lynched like that while camera's are rolling.

    No, I listen to what leftists are saying. Obama said he wanted to fundamentally transform the nation.

    Tell me how you fundamentally transform something without destroying the original?

    What was Jesse Jackson saying when he chanted "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western Cultures got to go?"

    But Democrats give a fig about them. "No Enemies on the Left."

    That is why the response by Democratic governors and mayors to riots is so anemic. They don't really want riots but they won't use force to put the riots down.

    NO WAY IN HEAVEN OR HELL

    If a national law is broken, the FBI is called.

    The local police are in charge of crimes that occur specifically in their jurisdiction.

    Moreover, for the most part both police and criminals are "locals" and that is the problem. They know very well the people they are arresting. What happened in the present instance is that local police were handling a black-man as they have done in the past. The past being what?

    The past is the fact that at the local level, the crime-rate amongst the black-community is the very, very often the highest. So, regardless of the situation, blacks are "automatically guilty".

    If blacks are "automatically guilty" it is because they have a high-rate of criminal activity. See here (data dated 2009) Percent adult males incarcerated by race and ethnicity:
    [​IMG]



    Now, ask yourself "why?" Why-in-hell should only 5% of the total community be inclined to criminal activity? Why? Because of a lack of alternatives.

    I suggest it is due principally due to a lack of education. We all know blacks that have been to university and have good jobs. I suggest the main impediment is that which is the very same for white-students. It's called poverty in the face of a post-secondary education that costs (on average) $14K annually.

    If the poverty-threshold is measured at an annual income of $25K a year, there is no way in heaven-or-hell that a poor family can afford the cost of a post-secondary education.

    It is clear that an effort must be made in the US in terms of educational opportunity. Post-secondary Education should be offered free, gratis and for nothing! Were that to happen, there would be far lesser criminal activity in general. Whyzzat?

    Because they would have a viable option to better their lives. A post-secondary education degree ... !

    IMO Antifa is a creature of the right wing Billionaire's Cabal that was founded by the Koch's

    https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/07/billionaires-and-stealth-politics

    And yes, I have absolutely NO real evidence for that. Considering that such an org would be both well-heeled and extremely secretive would you really expect a lot? It IS a natural speculation though, and one I have to wonder is not more brought up

    Literally everyone I know who lives outside the US and is a citizen of a partner nation are asking this question. When will your government tire of allowing what are obviously domestic terrorists to go unabated about the nation. They aren't "uneasy", they just want to know when enough is enough and the reopening of our nation will continue. As you pointed out, yes, not just citizens, but seemingly anyone can "disappear" in China these days.

    It took a war to get black people free from being enslaved by white thugs. That's the language that was needed.

    He wanted to get rid of racism, something long overdue.
    If this country can't get rid of racism without destroying itself, then maybe it should be "destroyed," whatever that means.
    Who cares?

    Yeah? The local cops can ignore constitutional rights to be trashed? I think not.

    You sourced how many people are behind bars, and claim these are also the ones who do criminal activity. How utterly naive. I sourced that white people do equal to even more drug related crimes, yet the cops are just filling up the jails with black people. That trashes your narrative that the % behind bars = % of criminal activity. It also proves that the US justice department has racism institutionalized. You're welcome.

    These numbers come from the FBI. So we can be sure that this is known by the US governments of today and in the past.

    Nothing is done against it.
    You only see Donald ranting about how ugly the protests are.
    Not a peep about how to get this racism out of the police system.

    You can't get rid of racism. It is hard wired into the species.

    I care as well as many others.
