Very true.

Given there is no common definition of what “ defunding” means, I don’t know how any reasonable person can support the vague ideology.

The massive middle of the night looting in Chicago, a week ago, Monday, was not an offshoot of a protest.

Nonetheless, the co- founder of the Chicago BLM chapter subsequent issued a carefully worded statement that included speculation that the unrest would persist until the Police were defunded. This was subsequently expanded to demand the termination of the Superintendent of Police and send him back to Dallas.

Who is pulling the strings?

Who is benefitting from civil unrest?

250,000 bikers in Sturgis for a week. Zero shootings. Zero murders. Zero robberies. Zero vandalism. No surprise, 1/4 million bikers are naturally more civilized than a Pantifa mob.

Just look at what Trump has done to Baltimore.

Lets ban all guns while ignoring the real problem that so many in this country have lost respect for themselves while having no regard for anyone else. I say if someone uses a gun in a crime and especially when shooting someone they should get locked up but then again I am old fashioned.
Nope it isn't just all about the guns.

That's the thing -- the guns are part of the complex problems.

But addressing one facet of the problem never resolves the problem.

We need to address how they get guns.

Why do so many low income individuals resort to crime. Are thee social injustices we need to addrerss.

We have a President calling for prison reform but we have citizens calling for more stricter punishments, etc.


Because our President is simple minded doesn't mean we have to be.

secondly, democrats are the exclusive purveyors of death and destruction. Democrats are rioting, killing people and breaking things. voting for democrats is not going to stop the rampaging.
Those engaging in civil unrest are mostly young black and white people, the cohort least likely to vote for anyone.

Those into Antifa ideologies are anarchists and oppose government.


The Trump campaign intended to run on the economy. Covid threw it a curve ball. Proclamations of a V - shaped - like a rocket recoveries became a joke.

The Trump campaign pivoted to Law and Order.

Who most likely benefitS from civil unrest?

Prison reform is definitely needed. And who is calling for stricter punishments? It certainly isn’t the Democrats! Over 16,000 felons have been released because of COVID. How many of those have gone on to commit more crimes? Democrat leaders can’t even uphold the law in their own cities. Only a simple mind denies that all this chaos is the fault of Democrats not looking after their communities and constituents.

Oh please, political party has nothing to do with it. Go to any major city where are ghettos, you are going to get alot of shootings in those areas. This is why Republican-ran Oklahoma has one of the highest per capita Black homicide rates in America. Tulsa and Oklahoma City (which have Republican mayors) have ghettos and the majority of people being murdered are Black people. This is why Republican-led Jacksonville,FL had 107 murders before the month of July finished up and is on pace for 185 murders this year.

On the flip side, Madison,Wisconsin, as liberal as they come, has 6 murders thus far. And before anyone says anything, Madison only has about 43,000 fewer people than Cincinnati. Madison,WI: Population around 260,000 vs Cincinnati's 303,000. Madison has 6 murders this year while Cincinnati has around 60 this far. Sounds like political party isn't the issue.

To me, it's the same as it ever was. Except this year we have the Covid-19 pandemic.

You said they are threatening to kill you if you vote for Trump. And yes, you mean democrats in general. You are trying to equate every day dems as anachist kids smashing windows. Ironically you are trying to pull this on me, when I am not even a democrat.

Your words: "See this people? This is THE THREAT! They mean this. democrats are absolutely saying they will kill people and break things if we vote for Trump."

You are trying to pull Hermann Goering tactics.

The insane Democrats are okay with all the murders and bloodshed. You think it is a killing field now...think about what will happen if Biden and Kamala were to take control of this country.

Murder will be very commonplace with many people losing their homes and their sense of security through violence. Their sense of safety will be gone...

BUT if America gets ready with their own protection methods and realize how sick the Democrat agenda is, you can protect yourselves.

Be ready.

They will get rid of the police or put so many restrictions on them that they will be unable to properly enforce criminals and lawbreakers.

Get ready to protect your life and everything in it!
