Mecha Sonic 05/31/20 6:55:59 PM #1:	then you're part of the problem If you're even equally angry about the riots as you are about the public lynching of a Black man, then you're fucking part of the problem. MLK talked about those who are more devoted to order than to justice; who prefer the absence of tension to the presence of justice; who feel they can set the timetable for another person's freedom. He also called riots "the language of the unheard". He said this 54 years ago. --- https://imgur.com/iMNC6RU <cite>Mecha Sonic posted [p:939997415] in If you're ...

I'm fine with the peaceful protests. I agree that there should be consequences if a cop kills someone for no good reason. They're not supposed to be judge, jury and executioner. They're just supposed to bring the suspect in so the legal system can do its work.

Antifar 05/31/20 7:37:56 PM #36:	There were two Reigns of Terror, if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the horrors of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terrorthat unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves. I think about this Mark Twain quote a lot. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:939999180] in If you're ...

Yeah, I'm sure rampaging hordes of black people destroying everything in sight will make police officers feel more at ease when dealing with black people in the future. It's not just black people protesting. A lot of the people destroying stuff are from outside of those communities. And even as people are protesting against police violence, the police are abusing their power to enact violence - not just against rioters, but against peaceful protestors, reporters, and people not even involved with the protests. Maybe if you want the riots to stop, the police should stop attacking citizens. --- "You're sorely underestimating the power of nostalgia goggles." - adjl http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20110218.gif <cite>ChocoboMog123 posted [p:939999187] in If you're ...
