Nazi-esque Black Lives Matter Protesters

Published

Forcing anybody to believe in something that they don't resembles the tactics used by the Nazis. This type of behavior is disgusting. Correct me if I'm wrong but I've yet to see a conservative group accost patrons enjoying a meal.

Really ,WOW!! I guess no one has really gotten in your face in a restaurant  for holding a table for your family and screaming racial victim phrases,or held a knife to your mother in an elevator, or thrown a relative down the flight of subway stairs,.....oh j u s t inappropriate.... 

 

 Protesting the injustice, infringement of rights, abuse and murder of blacks throughout their history in this country is appropriate.  Yeah...it's inappropriate to shout in people's faces, take their stuff, or make children cry over politics.

Maybe this is why black lives matter is doing what they are doing. There are things I agree with and don't agree with but when the law is corrupt, how can we expect order in black lives matter?

Being sad and angry about police killing George Floyd is understandable, but more violence is NOT OK!                                                                         I was hoping to find there were arrests. The first article had no mention of law enforcement: https://sfist.com/2020/05/29/protesters-block-highway-101-in-san-jose/ 
 I did find the San Jose Mercury News reports from the Bay Area:

 

Smashing car windows and yanking drivers out of cars...really BLM?? Try that with me and you'll meet the business end of a pistol. I legally have a concealed weapon permit.

Yawn. @FNP2B1 Neo Nazis support Trump and oppose BLM. Btw white domestic terrorists have killed more Americans than BLM.

The greatest threat we face is the south will rise again idiots joining with other libertarian extremist such as sovereign citizens who want to kick off a civil war. As much as you dislike BLM, with 13% of the population, no real wealth black folks couldn't and wouldn't overthrow our government.

As a  RN NP I can assure you if I felt my life was threatened  by a protester slamming a baseball bat through my windows and attempting to injure me I would not think twice about running them over to save my life.  Pure self defense

Okay.. So a couple of posts back you were musing about how naturally it would come to you to harm or kill another, or more likely, several human beings (no second thoughts or qualms by the sound of it). No one responded to your post... Now you escalate to aiming a gun at and I assume shooting people? One might suspect that you are trying hard to provoke reactions from posters? Are you? I have defended myself and others with force against violent attacks, but I guess I don’t understand the desire to advertise my ability to do so, on the internet. Well any way... CONGRATS on having figured out that you should point the ”business end” of a gun away from you. Good job. Now we all know that you are one tough guy. 

In case you think I’m being unfair to you, I’m not. You and I both know that you don’t start a thread with ”Nazi-esque” in the title if it’s an intellectually stimulating exchange of ideas and opinions with fellow professionals you’re looking for. 

Here’s what’s in all likelihood true about the protests and riots you’re currently seeing in your country. It’s in all likelihood true because these things usually follow a similar pattern. A majority are out legitimately protesting social injustices and they try to do it peacefully. A small group within that group will engage in civil disobediance and perhaps some criminal behavior, because they don’t feel that peaceful protests alone will have the desired effect but will be ignored, and the status quo will be maintained. 

Then you have the small groups whose main purpose for being there isn’t to protest, but to cause trouble. They will definitely engage in criminal activity. They come both from the extreme left and the extreme right. And despite not being representative of the majority they will ”steal” most of the limelight. 

This whole thread is in my opinion an attempt to solely focus on the minority that are present only to cause trouble. It’s also biased because the focus is one-sided. I haven’t seen any to attempt to genuinely look at the reasons why these protests are occurring. They didn’t Spring out of a vacuum.

Looking from the outside in, it’s clear that your nation is extremely divided and you appear to be unable to discuss issues with the aim of finding solutions. Instead the fire is eagerly stoked and the flames are fanned by posts like this and others like it. What does this thread do but lead to more discord and animosity? What is it hoping to achieve? Is anyone’s mind changed? Any hearts won?

Why do I care? I don’t live in the U.S. Well, for several reasons. The world is interconnected and if your country’s standing in the world erodes any further, it will have great global impact. And also, I have lived in the States. I used to think it was a great place. Certainly not perfect, but what country is? These days, your country is breaking before our very eyes. It’s both sad and frightening to witness.

Specifically, Trump and his party are breaking the country. Trump is going to escalate violence and unrest as it becomes increasingly evident that the majority of the people do not support him.  They are hoping for another EC victory but Trump doesn't have ethical boundaries, so he'll pull a despot tool out. We have to hope that he talks about it first, the USPS crap showed us what can happen when they may do something that's not OK. It's done quickly but repaired slowly.

Oh, I don’t think he’s joking at all when he says ”12 more years”.

I am deeply concerned for you and your country and I worry about how the aftermath of a Trump defeat in November might look like.

Many of us are deeply worried. 

Despots don't lose elections and Trump has already told us that he will not accept the results...that a Trump loss is evidence of fraud.  What remains to be seen is how he's going to set the system on fire.

I don’t think you will need to worry about a Trump defeat.  Polls are shifting and even hard core Democrats are stating their support for law and order.  The silent majority will speak and Trump will have four more years.

I’ve noticed that this narrative has lately been increasingly promoted on many different forums/social media. It’s a pattern. And I assume it’s a coordinated strategy. To what end? Are you hoping to suppress voter turnout among those who don’t support the current President, by making them think it’s meaningless to go out and vote? Is it false bravado? The mid-terms weren’t exactly a roaring success from a Republican viewpoint.

I’m not really seeing the shift in polls that you and others keep alluding to. Not that it really matters. Polls are polls. It’s how many who actually show up and vote that counts in the end. (And of course how many are allowed to vote without obstacles being placed in their way).

I have no earthly idea how anyone could predict this election with any kind of certainty. I believe it’s still open. I know that I hope that the citizens of your country will realize how much peril your republic is in and correct the course while they still can, but I’m not about to predict an outcome.

I find your claim that ”hard core Democrats” are considering voting for Trump quite dubious. Even if they actually believed that he’s a ”law & order” President, (which I personally think is a joke), I think their dislike of everything else he stand for, runs too deep. But Democrats switching to vote for Trump is another idea I’ve seen making the rounds a lot lately. I must say, I suspect it’s part of the same strategy that I mentioned above.
