Surplus.
This really must annoy the wingnuts who are trying to push the idea of a War on White People, and that white people in America are suffering the equivalent of the Holocaust and slavery, and that they need to stockpile weapons for the day theyâll go on a killing spree. These are the folks that are absolutely convinced the residents of New Orleans were shooting at Coast Guard helicopters after Katrina and that Trayvon Martin was eight feet tall and had laser beam eyes. These weekly videos of the cops killing unarmed black people are screwing with their narrative of white victimization.
(That NOLA helicopter thing? Yeah thatâs been totally scrubbed from the web after those stories were proven to be a hoax. And the coroner said Trayvon Martin weighed 158 lbs)

No, it really doesnât because they think these kids âdeserve itâ because they are âthugsâ⌠because they buy the thug narrative that Fox News, and frankly, most of the media pushes. I like to point out the oscar that Denzel Washington got⌠it wasnât for his awesome performance as Malcolm X, was it. Not, it was as a âgangsta/thug/corrupt copâ figure. It codified for much of white America what they think black people are âreallly likeâ. These images of protesters, they donât see people angered by decades/centuries of brutality at the hands of the white establishment or pissed because an innocent kid got shot for no reason⌠they see black âthugsâ who are ungrateful that they are living in âthe greatest country god ever gave the worldâ, as that smug asshole Sean Hannity put it. These images and events donât annoy the wingnuts, because they see heroic cops, saving white america (the real america, in their mind) from a threat.

August rather than July of course. I was about to post the original Gordon Lightfoot version, but the one I watched had a picture of a dead kid. I didnât see any bodies in this one.

Some of those same people were around to cheer when protesters were killed at Kent State and thought Lt. Calley did the right thing in My Lai. They canât get over that the cops did not kill everyone at OWS, and they bought extra guns because they think OWS is going to come to rural Kansas and cut their throats, no doubt to clear the way for Sharia law under the Muslim Obama.
We have not seen what white supremacist hoaxes are probably already floating around and which people will repeat endlessly for decades to come.
Today I saw people repeating the white supremacist Trayvon Martin conspircay theory that Trayvon was a huge scary âthug,â debunked by Snopes here

overheated rhetoric is overheated
No
Or still just going totally over your heads?
No, I get what you are upset about, I just do not agree at all that your point is valid or your blame and outrage is placed appropriately and productively.
This crap literally gets Black men killed in this country.
Since the projection (literally) happened in another country, I just donât get it, or why you brought it up, or what your aim was other than to vent about your pet issue which is basically totally unrelated. IMHO.

How so? If there wasnât a bunch of people being put down violently there wouldnât be a violent counter-reaction to show incessantly on the news in order to scare all the white people.
The GOP intervened to prevent DOJ from scrutinizing people like this so their base can spend more time being permanently traumatized by black people.
White supremacist sentenced for carjacking deaths
PORTLAND, ORE. â White supremacist David "Joey Pedersen offered no apology for a multi-state crime spree that left four dead, using his statement at Mondayâs sentencing to blast police, prosecutors and American foreign policy in a harangue briefly interrupted by a sister who yelled at him to âshut up.â
Pedersen said he couldnât sit idle while âWestern identity is being destroyed by other cultures,â and he regretted that police intervened before he did more damage.
âI offer no excuses because none are needed,â he said.
Pedersen, 34, and his girlfriend, Holly Grigsby, went on the rampage during nine days in 2011 as part of a campaign to purify and preserve the white race. Grigsby was sentenced to life in prison last month.
Pedersen and Grigsby began their killing spree on Sept. 26, 2011, with the deaths of his father and stepmother, David âRedâ Pedersen and Leslie Pedersen. The couple then drove Red Pedersenâs vehicle south into Oregon, where they shot and killed 19-year-old Cody Myers and stole his car.
They shot Myers, who was Christian, because his name sounded Jewish, according to court documents.
Pedersen and Grigsby then headed to Northern California, where Reginald Clark, a 53-year-old black man, was shot to death.
Grigsby and Pedersen were arrested Oct. 5, 2011, outside Yuba City, California, when a police officer spotted them in Myersâ car. Grigsby told officers they were on their way to Sacramento to âkill more Jews,'â court documents said.

A friend of mine managed a municipality like that and they had a black officer who could pretty much shoot other blacks with impunity, and literally everyone knew it. They had other black officers, but he was the stone cold killer. He definitely killed people, and probably did not report all his kills It was the âstraw bossâ model of enforcement.
However, this MO police department has only three black cops and if it was one of them, his name would probably already be known.

From what I have seen, they certainly are. Fainting couches, however, not so much.
Youâd like to have a serious look at the property crime in Ferguson then? I guess thatâs where the real scandal is. Theft. So much worse than murder.

Ooops they did it again! Cops shoot and kill another hostage in LA. Which department shot the hostage two months ago?
Apparently this is the same department that killed the hostage that was a production assistant on Tosh.0
It was the second time in four months that a Los Angeles County sheriffâs deputy mistook a victim for a suspect, both with tragic results. In the April incident in West Hollywood, a TV production assistant was hit in the chest when three deputies fired on him as he and another hostage rushed out of an apartment unit where they were being held. A second hostage was shot in the leg but survived.

if they circle the wagons and point guns to intimidate protesters, then i would say, they probably all are.

The amount of just blatant racism being spewed by supposed liberals and libertarians around here is just depressing as hell. You people suck.

Havenât read the entire thread. I picked up on the energy you write with.
Youâve got a bright bunch of activisty people as an audience here. I appreciate your taking offence, Iâd suggest you seek alternative methods to get them onside, which would I imagine help you in your cause.
âYou people suckâ isnât going to run well.

- Post about how black protesters are all thugs
- Have two people point out that the people you are talking about did nothing illegal at all
- Wait until someone else responds arguing with you without pointing out that you are just factually wrong
- Respond to that person
On another note: I find the protest chant of âDonât Shoot!â to be a little chilling. Yeah, thatâs what these protesters are asking for - not to be shot. Care to make any other outrageous demands like not being beaten?

Acer went out of their way to criticize Gideonâs view. It was unnecessary.
Nobody should ever take statements that are honest reactions from a personâs experience of racism and the status quo, sexism, whatever - and just dismiss them out of hand.
If I could figure how to multi quote folks i would, cause this has more to do with Acer than you, but basically we all do suck if we arent calling things out like that when it deserves it.
