Almost as if it's scripted. Oh, wait...

Never said there isn’t something going on but there are agendas and sensationalism out the whazoo with a specific demographic. And sensible know why.

Atlanta and Chicago are the only two on that list I would really have an interest in living. Not because I dont like the others. I love all those cities except Portland (dont like or dislike it really), but for living it would be Atlanta first then Chicago.

Pay attention, or don't bother responding to my posts.
10 minutes = lily white

The premise of cities being "wastelands" is skittish Fox News watchers being skittish.

Much be terrible to live in fear of anything different.

Agreed, but the way some folks describe what's going on, you'd think it was the apocalypse.

Sometimes I think we forget how huge this country is and how far you have to travel to get from one hotbed of protest to another one.

Well, yeah, but we’re clearly not reaching people if we don’t wind up on a poll like this one.

Hey, un-named masses! I think that unarmed black people shouldn’t be killed by police! And I’m from Boston!

I also don’t think that white people (or anyone for that matter) should be shot and/or killed by armed teenagers of any race!

There's a few users who latch onto the Anti- BLM + Democrat Cities rhetoric, one in particular who frequents the 2020 Homicide thread although never explicitly says it.
