You think it is okay to attack an entire generation because some old people have done things that you do not approve of? That sounds like a version of racism to me. With that sentiment I suppose if you were robbed by a black guy that you would then consider all black guys to be robbers.



How do you know that old woman that was ridiculed and had paint thrown at her hadn't marched with Martin Luther King? How do you know if she agrees with the message of BLM but disagrees with the delivery? How do you know that she is not an Anti Trumper that is married to a black guy and they adopted Hispanic and Asian kids.



Maybe the elected deserve some of your misguided hate but a random woman on the street does not.



Given the choice between the world that the old folks have left for us and this new world full of anarchy that GenZ is showing us I think most sane people would take what the old folks want to give.
LOUD, THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE!
Especially paragraph #1. And this man has the audacity to state that Gen Z feels justified RAGE toward their grandparents? Betcha dollars to doughnuts he's waiting for Granny to keel over so he can cash in. Just outrageous.

When I was growing up, the kids of the liberal parents were always the ones getting into legal scraps - running red lights, speeding, being picked up for a joint, starting gambling rings, etc. The kids of strict parents came directly home from their after-school jobs, had dinner, and hit the books.
Well... liberal parents who do not establish boundries and discipline will have crappy kids.


The apple does not fall far from the tree.

Following the American Civil War, individual liberties were still being violated on a monumental scale, resulting in race riots in Memphis and New Orleans in 1866. Clashes between white and black Americans led to 12 churches being burnt down, 81 African Americans being killed, and more than 150 people wounded during that time. The most famous labor event during the century was the “Great Railroad Strike of 1877.”

Feb. 15, 2003, between 6 million and 11 million people from 650 cities around the world and in major cities across the U.S. protested the invasion of Iraq, making it the single-largest one-day anti-war protest in history.

Same argument y’all used when the police pushed that elderly man to the ground in Buffalo.

Same argument when that young woman was killed by that guy driving on a closed highway.

Same argument when Michael Brown, George Floyd, Tamir Rice... were killed.

What’s the difference?

They're right.

Apparently the mayor persists in telling the police not to police.

How many of their police have quit as a result so far? How many more will soon?

I would be willing to contribute to "their world" if they would leave ours.
A monthly donation or something.
It wouldn't last long as their skill set seems to be destroying things

I wouldn't.

Much better to use that money to build jails for them.

There are lots of ditches that need to be dug in the hot sun. And just as many that need to be filled in.

Where the heck are the Proud Boys? I want to see some head knocking out there. Have they gone out of business or something?

Sadly, OldLivesDon'tMatter.

Tiny, I feel so sad for you.

What a sick and twisted culture this is becoming.
Uh-huh.

Such a different tune so many are singing when this happened:

“The 75-year-old man who was shoved to the ground by police at a protest in Buffalo, New York, suffered a brain injury and is facing "a new normal," his lawyer said Thursday.”

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...brain-n1230421

Then it was all “he should have stayed home,” “he’s too old to be protesting,” blah, blah blah.

And, let’s not forget how much “respect” Joe Biden gets from many of the same people bemoaning the lack of same in this thread.


No one should be disrespected, doesn’t matter what their age.
That woman had every right to be outside as did the man in Buffalo.
As did the twelve year old playing with a toy gun.
If you blame one but not the other, there’s a word for that.

H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E
