George Floyd and the Liberal Lynch Mob

JLB said:
They have discovered that the vast majority of these protesters don’t live in the city where they are protesting.

They are paid protestors, and rioters like we have seen in the past with Black Lives Matters, and other groups that are funded by George Soros.

In case you didn’t realize it, there is a great effort going on to destabilize our country by left wing radicals both inside and outside our government.

Not the protesters. It's a majority of the rioters, looters, and arsonists. The protesters is a completely different group of people. We must not confuse the two.

If you read the rest of my post instead of this quote, I do also believe that Mr. Floyd was murdered and that the force was excessive enough to kill him and there is nothing on God's green Earth that's right about it.

The officer was arrested and is in custody to be charged for manslaughter (also was noted in another part of my post). Hopefully justice will be served and the truth is revealed and the jury makes the correct decision.

The officer that had his knee on George's neck has been charged with murder. There's more to this than what we think. His wife filed for divorce now too.

Your mind is made up. By focusing on whether or not the police killed George you are missing the point. Something is wrong in this country if that one incident, upon which no one can agree, can spark riots all over the country.

No...my mind was not made up.
The video everyone seen looks horrible.
Everyone could see from the security footage that George was high on something.

Now what we don't know is what happened from the time he stumbled on the sidewalk to when he ended up back out in the street...

And if you read what I originally said after looking at the videos that it looked like murder.
But I've since changed my opinion. Because the facts show something.
The police should have gotten up sooner as George stopped moving.
That way George could have died sitting up.

But he didn't.

My Sister-in-law was at a peaceful protest earlier yesterday in GA. It was peaceful and happy. There were police present and thanking them and handing out bottles of water to them.
The photo ops came and they went home.

Something similar was to happen here in Nashville. And as the last people were leaving the protest some thugs came along and blended in and began to become a riot.

Broadway was trashed. Spray painted buildings and cars... windows broken... businesses broken into and looted. (Lots of touristy stuff and restaurants)

This is Nashville...our police may be firm but they aren't ever ugly. They got church on Sundays and friends to answer to for their behavior.
We have never had a case of police brutality here. These guys and women are our friends and neighbors.
If anything, they focus on not being overwhelming and intimidating.

There's actually no time for those kinds of things here. Until the quarantine there had been a severe labor shortage... anyone and everyone who wanted a job could have one. Decent pay as well for low skill jobs.
I, as a skilled trade, regularly turn down lots of work. Others do as well. We don't have enough people for the jobs that need filling. Even my Wife's job has the same situation.

There's no one to be angry... except for traffic jams and idiots.... that's our biggest frustration in this town. And with schools closed and most people working from home that's not a problem either.

So...the thugs that started the trouble last night came from elsewhere. Their licenses and IDs said so. (They got caught)
They get to find out all about the TN prison system. It's boring. Troublemakers get the few little nice things taken away. It's not a fun place.

It’s clear that our fear is real that additional law enforcement will only further violence against people of color,” Harris-Dawson said in a statement. “Anarchists are taking advantage of our pain with looting and violence — this is not Black Lives Matter or members of our community who have suffered from systematic racism and oppression — these are domestic terrorists.”

We got the National Guard coming out...
Our state ain't one for placating anyone.

Curfews are in effect and I'd dare say that there are a TON of law abiding citizens all packing loaded weapons today. Ready and willing to back up our officers and our local businesses.

While its likely murder won't stick ,I agree with this .

A video doesn't tell,the story .if he was chocked then it woukd have shown
 
I find it painful when people stick up for the policeman and blame the victim, but there is nothing I can do about this. Believe have a right to their own opinion. I do know that Fox news is spreading out mis-information and one should watch other stations as well. To me it is clear that George was alive and well before this incident and dead after the police tried to arrest him. I know if it were me they would have asked me where I got the counterfeit bill and probably accepted my explanation that I did not know it was counterfeit.

I agree that the looters need to be prosecuted. I agree that we will never agree about what happened. But I am concerned for the world and spend a lot of time in prayer. In my town the looters were all teenagers and that concerns me as I mentioned before.
 
that we may know

RICHMOND, Va. -- Rioters blocked a fire truck from responding to a burning home early Sunday morning in Richmond, according to Richmond Police Chief Will Smith.
“Protesters intentionally set a fire to an occupied building on Broad Street. This is not the only occupied building that has been set fire to over the last two days. But they prohibited us from getting on scene,” Smith said. “We had to force our way to make a clear path for the fire department. Protestors intercepted that fire apparatus several blocks away with vehicles and blocked that fire department’s access to the structure fire. Inside that home was a child.”
 
You can't believe everything you see on the news. Especially Fox News. I live in Richmond California. I just drove downtown where they were protesting yesterday. There were no broken windows. All the stores are open. There were no fires lit. It was very peaceful. The violence was perpetrated buy teenagers in another part of town. In what we call North Richmond where poor people live. This is another issue that needs discussing. What has poverty done to our young people today. The bottom line is that if these young people were raised in the church I do not believe this would be happening. We have to make our church more appealing. What kept my son out of trouble was sports. Now with the virus out there the sports program are shut down. So I believe change is important for everyone involved. And we mustn't forget Satan's involvement in this.

I have experienced prejudice from all kinds of different cultural groups. White people condemned me for marrying a black man. Black people condemned me for marrying a black man. The only difference is that the prejudice against black people is institutionalized. It's part of the law. There are laws that protect police department's from firing people who have complaints of violence against them. Black people don't make laws for the most part. As I mentioned earlier my main concern is our young people. We have to get them back in the church.
 
About the radical left. I have watchef this group closely over the years. Gone are the days of Martin Luther King and non-violence. But I will point out one thing without condoning what they do. They only destroy property. The right-wing radicals like the KKK destroy human beings.

For me I'm trying to look at the big picture. And how this relates to my faith. My ideology about the world has changed over the years. One thing I know for sure. Whatever the problem Christ is a solution.

I went to the store this morning and I ran into a homeless man standing outside of McDonalds. Because of the virus they wouldn't let him in the store so he said he didn't need my money. So I bought him a meal and he burst out in tears. We have to go the extra mile. The world is in trouble.

i can agree on that but this is not fake news racism is on both sides of the race . when a mayor has two words for the president . that shows they have the mentality of a gnat and does not need to be in office
 
At our church which is near downtown Richmond we are going to start a music program for young people. The program will include a lunch and picking them up from North Richmond and taking them home . When we have concerts sometimes the parents show up. They like what they hear and they come back. We need more programs like this and the epidemic is making it hard. That's what I mean when I'm talking about Satan making our social problems worse. When I no longer can be helpful here in America I'm going to Kenya. These problems don't exist there. Life is all about finding food and getting through the day. God bless you all
