The employee also called the black woman a queen. Don’t forget that. Just lock up your store and go home. Can’t get anymore peaceful then that. I think he should close up for the rest of the year so as to make it peaceful till at least the new year.

Btw, whatever you’re smokin’, can I get some?

What you’re missing is that one party was armed and intimidated the other party into doing his bidding. Bet you wouldn’t be so understanding if the perp was white and the victim black.

Irony.

They created 1 Trump voter I know of. Sister of a work friend lives in Pittsburgh and is in the background of one of those videos being harassed while trying to eat. He says his sister is now voting Trump. Note not a lifetime thing. He says his sister cares little about politics and this is more of a middle finger at the people that wrecked a rare night out.

He thanked him for not killing him. There have been a number of rapists who make the person thank them, it’s all part of that power move or kink. One in particular I remember anally raped the woman and made her “clean” him afterwards. I suppose that means there was a peaceful resolution and no need for the police to be called. There were slave owners who made their slaves thank them after every lash. Do you really believe that a person under imminent danger participates in a resolution? They don’t, they acquiesce and hope it’s enough to survive the encounter.

How anyone can rationalize what happened in that video is beyond me. And, like most things, if the races of the involved individuals were switched around and you would have a different response, you need to examine your own biases and bigotry.

Apparently the Black Militia want Texas, however Texans aren't very keen on the idea.

I hope this doesn't end up in a blood bath with militia taking to the streets across the US, a massive increase in gun sales and a demand on ammunition so great than many stores in the US have now run out.

the bold is more fiction. "if the races we reversed...." I'm going by what happened here and what happened in a parallel situation with George Floyd where the police were called over a store dispute. One ended peacefully, the other sparked a revolution. This exactly what many of you here want: no riots, no marches, no property damage, no violence. Why is it still a problem?

I don't do drugs. Why can't you express yourself without ad hominem attacks?
