George Floyd Was A Gentle Giant - Rise of BLM

Full video released:

It is a strange one, he seemed very panicked and deeply fearful of the police (with good reason it turns out). I can't help thinking if he just quietly got into the back of the police car he would still be alive today. He could not do this because he said he suffered from claustrophobia - I guess a type he only suffers from in a police vehicle as opposed to his own vehicle which he was fine in. Also I could be mistaken but I am not sensing any racism towards black people. I wonder if in exactly the same situation the police would have acted any different to a large mexican or red neck.

He shouldn't have died and the police should have known better. The cops do have some wiggle room to claim they were following procedure, but I don't think it will convince a jury. Many are right to demand that police face the same justice anyone should face, that having a badge shouldn't give them impunity. That has been a problem for a long time and black people, more than any other group, were right to feel aggrieved.

Whatever the case, none of what happened justified the riots and looting we witnessed. Too much has been done to placate these groups that threaten to tear apart the very fabric of civil society. Like the old Chinese proverb goes, he who rides the tiger fears to dismount. What happens then if the police are not found guilty? If Trump is re-elected? We saw what escalating violence led to in the late 60s, like the assassination of MLK. We could see that and worse because of the media and political "elite's" failures to rein in these militant communist groups like Antifa, whom they have actively defended and encouraged all this time.

Rand Paul was harassed and nearly attacked as he was escorted away from the RNC last night by BLM "protesters."

Recall that Rand Paul was among the Republicans who held a friendly softball game when a crazed man fired a gun at them and nearly killed Republican rep Steve Scalise. Rand Paul was also viciously attacked by his neighbor, suffering a broken rib bone among other injuries. And lest we forget, Senator McCain said Paul is "working for Vladimir Putin."

"You couldn't reason with this mob, but I'm actually the author of a law to try and get rid of no knock raids. These people were unhinged. I'm not sure we would have made it."

I truly believe this with every fiber of my being, had they gotten at us they would have gotten us to the ground, we might not have been killed, might just have been injured by being kicked in the head, or kicked in the stomach until we were senseless,

They were inciting a riot and they would have killed us had the police not been there

I believe there are going to be people who are involved with the attack on us that actually were paid to come here, are not from Washington, DC, and are sort of paid to be anarchists.

"This is disturbing because really, if you're inciting a riot that's a crime, but if you're paying someone to incite a riot that person needs to go to jail as well

t's become so dangerous for us and I don't hear Joe Biden or Kamala Harris saying one thing about the violence. This mob is their voters. This is the new Democrat party, and if we don't resist this, the United States is going to become Portland. We're going to become Chicago. All of these failed cities Democrats have run, the president said in his speech," he said. "If we allow them to take over the White House, we are going to become Portland, the country will be on fire, we have to have law and order and we have to support the police. I can't say that strong enough."

That was Senator Rand Paul on the agitated mob he faced as he left the RNC. Good on him to brave these mobs and to show the world what these people are really about. These people are not peaceful activists.

The scum of the earth decided to speak:

The racist and fascist approach that led to the death of George Floyd in the US city of Minneapolis as a result of torture has not only deeply saddened all of us, but it has also become one of the most painful manifestations of the unjust order we stand against across the world.

As a member of Islamic civilization, which teaches us to love humankind because of the Creator, I condemn this inhumane mentality. Turkey always stands against all attacks targeting humanity, no matter where, under what pretext or in what form they are committed.

We will continue to fight to protect the rights of all of humanity without any discrimination based on race, color, religion, language or faith in line with our Prophet's principle, “A white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over a white.”

As a casual reminder, Erdogan has had hundred tortured through vicious and sadistic means, some of whom have died or been paralyzed for life as a result. Erdogan is scum.

I'm still waiting on the New York Times to produce a report on it, but I think they're too busy telling Americans that being white is evil and telling the world that Greeks are evil for refusing illegal immigrants from Pakistan in to the country during a global pandemic. Erdogan though gets to write op-eds on how important Turkey is to the global stability and American strategy. American senators aren't so easily afforded that right. What assholes.

Anyways, the EPL will no longer associate themselves with the Black Lives Matter movement. The Guardian has a report on it below.

Premier League footballers are to continue their support for anti-racism on the pitch but will no longer be associated with Black Lives Matter.

Also, Meghan Markle, after signing her 150 million dollar Netflix deal, has decided to make a documentary on the life of the Marxist witch who helped co-found Black Lives Matter. By the time that the documentary gets made, will Black Lives Matter even be relevant? I think they will go the way of the Tea Party before the election given that the movement is now hurting Biden and his fellow Democrats in the polls.
