Why the White House?

Go down the street to Congress. They write the laws?

Why aren't the protestors taking on State Legislatures?

I lost over 80% of my Jewish family to Hitler. The rest either escaped to the US or died in the Soviet Union. I'll just block you. It's easier than having to see your ridiculous comparison.

Gal, I hope your right. I hope peaceful protestors are heard, get the change needed, and go home safely. Those breaking curfew hopefully are then not the peaceful protestors so the State can round them up.

When the military goes in, do you really think the fools will stay home?

Smart protestors will know that during the Insurrection Act being invoked, you stay home.

Those violating law will not stay home. They want to keep it going.

We dont know what another round would mean, but it'll give a cooling period.

If rioters, vandals, and looters fight the US military, what is the consequence of their action?

Laughing at you. Really?

Obama spoke very eloquently. That made those bad people stop, didnt it.

Made all those naughty cops stop.

Ignorant fool.

Words are nothing. How many mayors right now are begging it to stop?

How many governors?

Floyd's family?

Please stop. Pretty please.

Freaking idiots.

We have anarchy. You wanted a Federal response. Holding Trump responsible? Ok, here he comes. Damn, if he invokes the Insurrection Act? Good. Insurrection causes this kind of response.

If the Insurrection Act is invoked, then it is not illegal to deploy US troops.

Peaceful protestors need a heads up from the President. If he declares it, give the honest protestors a chance to stay home.

A smart protestor knows that the Insurrection Act is a last resort. Go home. Stay home. When the military comes, only fools choose to stay.

It has come to this. I haven't found anyone finding the cop not guilty of murder. Some cant say it...presumed guilty then for them.

I dont care the politics of the vandals, arsonists, and looters. They've pushed for consequences.

What did Obama do about Baltimore? Nothing, it was the mayor's job, then the Governor. It'a a State issue, not Fed.

The Fed can prosecute, but the State has more authority at home.

The Fed can finance, but it's the State and Local that control the outcome.

I dont blame Obama for the actions of cops anymore than Trump.

Same thing with rioters. Obama asked for peace. The rioters didnt listen to him either.

Where's the anger at lawmakers? Who is the Senators and Representatices, State and Fed?

I disagree Sitz. They do vote. Problem is, they expect things to change by voting in the same people on the city councils, the State legislators, and Fed.

Look at their elected officials. They are the same ones for years or replaced by the same. Take another look at these specific neighborhoods where this happens. The party in control still is.
What has that elected person done in their district other than get reelected?

Dont think just Fed, think State and local.

Real protestors would have let the truck through.

The news said the driver was trying to go through them. That's the OP. All lies IMO.

Why was the driver injured? Why did he have to get out of the truck if he meant no harm?

Evictions? The police cant even disperse a crowd.

Let's get the facts?

The highway was 'being closed', not closed completely.

The tanker was on the road when it was supposed to be open...the time to close it was hours later.

Apparently the road used getting on the highway was not closed yet.

You can't simply turn a tank truck around.

The truck was coming to a stop, not speeding up.

It cant stop on a dime.

Appears the only injury was to the driver, no pedestrians.

Lucky it wasn't a fedex truck.

Lucky nobody tried to loot the truck by opening it.

Bet the cop would have gotten out of the car with a Fox with a gun.

950 out of 1000 play the lottery and walk out of shops with lots of loot.

This is so true. Put your gun down and help the looters carry the booty, light their cocktails for them, and bring extra spray paint and bricks. Can never have enough bricks.

And, if your fellow citizens attack law enforcement, throw off your badge and join the insurrection.

Aren't men and women in separate sports based on gender? There are lots of genders, so we need sporting events for all genders.

Of course, when you don't have enough players for a team, a school doesn't have a team to represent the school. As a professional referee, I had games cancelled due to players deciding not to play anymore, collapsing the school's sport that season.

I didn't see them committing any wrong.

I agree the media shouldn't be arrested and shot at and etc. I do expect the media to move if asked. I heard the CNN folks saying that they'd move and, if I heard right, asking.

If the media is told to move and dont, then they are creating a hazard. I didnt see them doing that.

Yav, thanks. I appreciate your view.

Tell me, why have a curfew that isn't enforced?

Curfews are going up as cities know that people not on the streets means no destruction. I don't like curbing protest, but we know the bad element is coming with it, not within it.

If a curfew is wise, who enforces it and how many enforcers do you use?

If you're peacefully protesting then respect the curfew. By leaving, the only curfew breakers are the bad elements.

No shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service.

From looking at all the TV coverage, no reporter has asked anyone to see their antifa card.

If visual verification is the only test, didn't we complain about this method as being wrong because we are sterotyping how we identify.

Anyway, I am not trained to ID antifa, but the videos dont seem to show all the violence being done is by the sterotypical antifa member ID.

Soldiers aren't just trained to kill. In war, prisoners of war have rights under the Geneva Convention.

Yes. This is not a war, but if citizens are looters, arsonists, vandals, etc, if they surrender, they should be taken and imprisoned until the end of hostilities.
That's what soldiers do understand.

This is a civilian uprising. Is military or civil law the correct application.

In civilian, if you dont surrender, you get a arrested.
In military, if you dont surrender, you're either subdued or killed.

Does anyone really want citizens shot? No, of course not. Do they want to get shot? I'm guessing no.

But, escalation is met with escalation. Even the police can increase response on increased action.

Hopefully things de-escalate before an accident or an on purpose happens.
