speak with some people from Ex-Yugoslavia or Rwanda first - before romanticizing 'revulotion' and violence.

Different situation Maxolini...

There’s a time and place. The time is now, the place is every city in America. The question is, how far and how long will it go before one side gives in.

Actually it is true - here is the actual statute from Minnesota

Thanks for the clarification Win.


I watched the Rodney King cops get off and lived through those riots in LA....after they moved the trial to a very white/racist county outside of LA. I just want to see the most prosecutable charges happen to get the PoS in jail. Let his cell mate deal with him.

Time to show cops...and presidents...they're not above the law.

Won't be long now, the Dow will plunge tomorrow, your $8 pile of wood will still be worth close to $8, the US will likely drag the rest of the world into economic turmoil that will be really painful for most.

I'd much prefer to see massive peaceful demonstrations. This is counterproductive. The temperature needs to come down. Real change requires cool organization, not this.

thank you.
(as well, there are elections coming up in the US in a few Months. It seems quite straight forward for a decent 3rd candidate to win (Trump and Biden to me seem like the same bad thing in different flavors))

Agree completely, I really detest racism. As I mentioned, this is no easy fix and decent people should not accept it. As time required for changes in African American rights, women's rights, Indigenous people's rights and gay rights have shown, there is no over night fix. It takes education and better laws to effect change. I only have to go back to high school days to recall a student that was in the military who carried around a leather bound copy of Mein Kampf.

thank you.

Huh?

You sound like a typical Trumpian spouting 'whataboutisms': "But, the other side....!!"

Too bad Biden won't cozy up to Vlad, isn't it.

thank you.

I'd take anyone from either party over Trump, but generally the two parties are just different wings of the Wall St. Party. But Trump in office is an emergency that needs to be dealt with first.

I agree with you. It's not an overnight fix. It's through education and laws being changed. I don't care what someone's parents or grandparents taught them, unlearn it and be better.

Good point I agree, as Wedgie pointed out, the looting not being done by protesters.

Oh ffs

Again, real life poop has messed him up. I'm not saying give him the keys, I'm saying see if he can get it together.

Besides, the Leafs got the deepest organisational system going. Nothing wrong with starting him in Newfoundland with the Growlers, if need be.

There is literally no downside to seeing whats what with him.
- GreatGigInTheSky

Again, yes, yes there is a downside: the Leafs currently have 48/50 contracts locked. Why flirt with a draft bust who literally hasn't proven himself to be top shelf quality in any league?

Why waste energy on a reclamation project that has very little chance in succeeding?

BTW -- The USA isn't the center of the world.
it's a (frank)ing underdeveloped country which lacks decent social systems, citizens aren't appreciated by their political leaders and the US God is money.
time for people to finally understand what the real ;'poophole country' is.

(I do understand Canadian citizens are following developments closely due to the geographical proximity).

The US foreign policy has almost only done bad in other countries around the world - killing innocent civilians. One wonders why people are still surprised that the same government/people in power and same general US mentality is capable of same treatment of people within its own borders.

The upside is that he is only 22

It really does suck that we have 4 or 5 sh1t bags in here....and that's not because of differing opinion but just because you can actually tell thru their posts that they are pieces of human sh1t.

Every fu3king day with these fu3ktards.

And yes I mean you:

You three pu$$ies can go fu3k yourselves.

True about the Dems but sometimes history steps in and change happens. Hopefully this is one of those times. I sure don’t think this is because of Biden he'll adapt to where the party goes but there could be a progressive move inside the party. We’ll see.

Keep dreaming. The DNC has suppressed those party members for decades.

The only thing Biden will do is A) lose the election or B) give up the leadership of the party to a last minute replacement or C) use a strategically planted VP a la Bush / Cheney method. He is literally losing his mind and so is anybody who thinks he'd be any kind of improvement. Not to mention he's a pathological liar, plagiarist, corrupt corporate crony, alleged sexual abuser, tried to shame black people into voting for him questioning their blackness and has a horrible record on most fronts.
