Looting...

Nobody said GEORGE FLOYD died heroically. The man died while crying out for his late-mother. Your lack of empathy hurts my soul.

Well then I empathize to your soul!

Like I said I do not condone the manner how he was treated while conducting what should have been a lawful arrest. No human being deserves to die or be killed in such manner. Justice is being served rightfully. Due process is being served.

But to use GF death to instigate civil unrest, looting and burning of business establishments , promoting hatred and violence to other men in uniform and victimizing peace loving citizen is utterly a disgrace and equally deserving the punishment of the law.

Did you empathize to the business owners who's stores got looted and destroyed...To the people who got hurt and injured during the riot?

Did you see or hear as well the cry of these people calling for mercy or even their call for their late mother as their livelihood got burned and looted...or you see them just another victim of the preceding circumstances ..obviously It didn’t capture your attention as much as it doest merit such big spectacle as the event you empathized!

Those that want to burn and loot are part of the problem as much as the lack of action amongst those that watch bad peoples do bad things and do nothing.

I’ll take saving a life over saving a business everyday of the week.

Justice is being served rightfully? Due process is being served? Both were FORCED to happen due to video.

How many videos do you need to see of those in uniform, paid by citizens, threatening and attacking those that are not doing any of the things that you laid out?

And for you to write of the long *** diatribe and still refuse to even type out GEORGE FLOYD’s name is disingenuous.

You rather save life over saving business all day of the week? I really need to empathize on how you think!

How do you get your resources to sustain your life?...please enlighten me so I will understand you better.

Also Type your full name here so I will know you too.

And nice of you to gloss over the other points I presented in my post.

People make businesses run, not the other way around. I stand by my previous statement.

Employees that are treated well make up the best places to work. Because they feel valued.

Now replace 'business' with 'United States of America' and 'employees' with 'citizens'.

Since his comments were in a thread about the looting currently going on in many cities, I fail to see how using "GF" is anything but a typing shortcut. But I can't see into his head so it is possible that he was being "disingenuous." Going by his previous posts, I'm guessing not.

Just to play The Devil's Advocate: Why didn't you chide him for using "MLK"? At this point in time, Mr. Floyd is just as famous as Mr. King.

We have a street in my town the was renamed to MLK. I still refer to the street by it's old name. Not because I don't think that Mr. King deserves to have a street named after him but because I knew the street by its old name for about 40 years and it is firmly implanted in my brain as such.

We also have a street named after Robt. E. Lee*. If they change the name, as some want to do, I will continue to call it REL. Not because I think Mr. Lee deserves to have a street named after him, but because that's what I've known it as for 60+ years.

Maybe he didn't comment on your other points because he agreed with them. Maybe not. Once again, I can't see into his head but, based on his prev posts, I'm willing to go with the former until I see different.


*Edit: I spelled out REL's name the first time because, in this context, it is not obvious who REL is.

That is one hell of an ignorant statement if you ask me. Exposure and fame may be the same thing. But that's no comparison to MLK.

And nitpicking abbreviations on the internet? Really?

Unhappy

The Chicago mayor is begging Walmart and other large retailers not to leave. Walmart is deciding which stores not to reopen at the moment. A few of the other retailers told her that there is a good chance that they will not reopen some stores too because of the riots, and that she did nothing to protect the stores. They can't operate in that type of environment.

Its ok Rusty no life would perish due to Walmart deciding not to reopen. Life would be saved!

Now Former employees of Walmart good citizens, good tax payers ... will join the numbers of unemployment ....would suffer and default in paying their rent ...paying thier cars.... paying credit cards.... no xmas toys for their kids this year....would probably resort to petty crimes to survive...a good citizen who eventually turn into an animal...,and the cycle goes on....

No life has been taken .... only businesses!!!

Lets move on to riot for equality, peace and unity across America! The Land of the Brave and of the free looting!


Im gonna water my yard this morning...bring my roundup and my AR15 cane.

The only comparison made was to their current level of fame. See John Lennon's "We're more popular than Jesus now." It was not a case of one being any better or worse than the other.
It would be pretty ignorant to deny the fact that Mr. Floyd is very (in)famous (worldwide no less) at this point.

I was merely pointing out that using abbrevs, initialisms, and acronyms in a post on The Intertubes is very common and not disrespectful. Yes, really.

Well, at least something positive came of Floyd’s death. Apparently, he found the cure for Covid-19.

Granting GF a day to memorialize him on the same day as MLK, is a disservice to what MLK had done and what he stood for.
GF did not deserve to die for whatever crime he committed, and those responsible for his death certainly need to be held accountable. However, GF was NOT an angel. If you think he needs to be put onto a pedestal, ask the lady he held at gun point while she was robbed if she feels the same way. My memory isnt the greatest these days, but Im fairly certain that the great MLK never committed any crimes even remotely close to that.

No worries guys. I'm done in here.

It was fun that we came together over a car, but it is obvious that we are far apart on our views and values on human life and the justice and equality that they deserve.
