Well atleast he didnt get shot.

But yeah anyone who even touched a hair on that guys head for whatever reason should be having a mugshot taken imo.

White man getting beat up but should be happy he didn't get shot? Seriously?

Its just a joke, I don’t know why you need to be so sensitive? Can’t you take a joke? /s

Seriously, those guys should be charged and likely will be. That is what video is fore.

What else do you call these creatures that are destroying police cars, setting fires, looting, and beating white people just for being white? These aren't people, these aren't law abiding citizens, these aren't the law abiding black people that are mistreated, these are beasts that nees to be taken off the streets.

the xdaunt "vermin" statement would appear to refer to BLM, rather than the looters/rioters. Thus it would include people peacefully protesting under the BLM banner.

We are calling them creatures in the sense that they have abandoned their humanity to appease their base instincts, its visibly obvious if you have seen any of the action.
Question.?

that's not what the guy said that you're responding to. I think you need to reread what he said. particularly the second part.

This is some enlightening shit guys. Don't hold back.


I think you're being a little unfair. I don't think they are saying all the protesters are vermin or creatures or whatever. They are saying these distinctly shitty people who are beating people and trying to toss people into fire (WTF) are indeed pieces of shit. We shouldn't have any reservations about labeling violent protesters are awful, awful people. Plenty of peaceful protesters who don't try to throw people into flaming trash cans.

Dehumanzing people is bad, even with they are terrible criminals. Just call them criminals.

One of these mayors where BLM is wreaking havoc needs to grow a pair and clear the vermin out. Regardless of the merits of the alleged grievance spurring these protests, the situation is unacceptably out of control.

I really hope some of these communities demand better law and order response to rioters. This one is crystal clear case in point. They're much more scared of the media on violent rioters than getting removed by the nonviolent population they're sworn to protect.

It was a joke, a deliberately bad one. My followup to that comment should have made it obvious. Maybe if you didnt flare up and read the entire thing...

Wasn't something like that true in Ferguson? Or were those rumors?

Professional agitators.

He walked it back to make sure people didn't think it was entirely justified. But I take it you have no moral qualms about it to the point where you yourself might've pointed out he was lucky not to be shot.

Not so much "professional agitators" as opportunistic criminals mixed with people that are just fed up.

Lol if I followed this correctly.

"look at this guys, its so terrible, these people are animals."

"Yes you are right this is wrong, and these people should be punished for it."

"You guys are so biased, everyone is up in arms over shot black people but white guys getting beat up is deserved."

WUT ? Thats like.. unbelievable.

She said half of them are deplorables, not all of them.
