I probably make more money on a bad day than you do with your SSI or other government handout - which conservatives are famous for.

But thanks for giving us all such a great illustration of exactly what Black Lives Matter is about. Attitudes like this, which say that blacks deserve to get gunned down in the street, because to you, apparently, they don't matter. You and many other posters here on C-D prove them right every day.
Guess what, I work for a living. I build and remodel houses in my spare time. During the week I keep the power on. I work an average of 60 hours a week. My Dad was a farmer and he worked harder than me. We pay a lot of taxes, we pay the welfare and the foodstamps. We are sick of the whining and complaining from people who are not interested in actually helping society. So you are correct, I don't care about worthless idiots being gunned down in the streets with no ambition. It's not my problem, it's their problem.

God gives you ONE CHANCE in this life. Do you want to create a life for yourself or do you expect others to do it for you? It's that simple.

How appropriate that you talk about God in one breath and about being happy to see people who pose no threat to anybody being gunned down in the street with the next.

God, save us from your followers, please. They are a violent, bloodthirsty lot. Too bad they can't be more like your Son.

God helps those who help themselves. It's very clear in the bible. Jesus had no time for lazy, immoral dolts. Do you believe that someone who does not create anything, does not even cover the cost of feeding themselves through some kind of meaningful work...and if they are able bodied do they still deserve a place in this society in your mind?

That quote is not from the Bible.

"God helps those who help themselves" is probably the most often quoted phrase that is not found in the Bible. This saying is usually attributed to Ben Franklin, quoted in Poor Richard's Almanac in 1757. In actuality, it originated from Algernon Sydney in 1698 in an article titled Discourses Concerning Government. Whatever the original source of this saying, the Bible teaches the opposite. God helps the helpless. Isaiah 25:4 declares, "For You have been a defense for the helpless, a defense for the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat."

God helps those who help themselves - is it in the Bible?

Funnily enough, that quote does appear in the Koran, though.

Jesus spent his time with the homeless, the poor, the sick, the powerless. You know, the kind of people you claim are worthless.

That was quick. You are obviously a shill for the professional victims. Read the bible. It talks extensively about how idleness is the devil's work. Hard work is a virtue. Stop twisting the words.

Says the guy who tried to fake a Bible quote. Face it, your Savior was a champion of the poor and downtrodden. Ever hear what He said about how hard it will be for a rich man to enter heaven? How about the last will be first, and the first will be last? Got any Bible stories about Jesus hanging out with the rich and powerful you can share with us?

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: Gave inspirational speeches that people listen to and quote to this day.

Black Lives Matter: Rip lights off of Christmas tree.

Analysis: BLM are chumps. People who support justice need a leader. BLM is not providing it. BLM is counterproductive.

Have you ever shopped in Mag Mile stores? There are a LOT of Black salespeople. That's who'll suffer the most from the protest. Cut hours, commission losses, and even job losses.
