I'm not going to quote you.

Did you not blame all the rioting on young black youth in another thread that has now been locked? And to whom were you referring when you said "animals?"

Never mind. Don't answer. I see right through you. Let me go back to what I always do and not respond to simple minds. This is why I need to stick to that philosophy.

May you find peace in your life.

I most certainly did not, and would not blame all looting on blacks. If I responded to a photo or video of blacks looting I’d call them animals the same as I would if it was all whites.

But boy have you made yourself clear as the blue sky here. You have a preconceived notion of me that causes you to have zero compassion for my story. Pretty much the same thing you complained about in your long post here. Congratulations, you are guilty of which you wag your finger at.

As a person of color , i am glad to live in a city with less black demographic and equally relieved that the looting and shooting hasn't affected our city as much. I have lived in an all black neighborhood, talked to a lot of high school drop outs, all they wanted was to smoke weed and sell their mix tapes. The community has a problem. It's a reason so many white celebrities and also my coworkers glorifying violence and justifying the actions of looters wont ever set foot in those neighborhoods, let alone buy a house in less than 10/10 school neighborhood.

Protesting against police injustice is perfectly reasonable, what is not ok is looting and burning , with the media and celebrities glorifying violence who few days ago said "china flu" was racist and we should all be ashamed to go out. What we need is a grass root level change that starts on the lower levels of the government. Obama's response to the whole situation is the only voice of reason. https://medium.com/@BarackObama/how-...e-9fa209806067

It is hard to control a person who has fentanyl intoxication and methamphetamine use.

Chauvin and Floyd worked as security in same bar and both did porn but not together, quite a few similarities.

WalMart in Cedar Park off 183 was vacated when I tried to go there at 5pm, also saw about 4 cops infront of it and a near empty parking lot. I didnt stick around. Hoping nothing happened there.

the media shows you the story they want you to believe. You can go to youtube and watch uncut riot/looting videos. The vast majority are black. You can watch street fights and school fights and they are mostly black. Maybe african americans are more likely to video and post their fights.

African americans have a serious cultural problem that has nothing to do with race. I have heard african american leaders acknowledge the problem, but the mainstream media wont touch it with a 10 ft pole.

The murder rate of african american young men is about 7X that of white men, even adjusted for income it is substantially higher. 95% of the murders are same race murders. No one is even talking about the problem, let alone a solution.

The human brain naturally creates stereotypes, when cops run into so many violent african american men as compared to their number in the population, they are going to generalize, their lives are on the line.

The community and media focus should be on finding a solution to the high murder rate (and as a proxy for all violent crime).

Finally, the second amendment exists primarily as a check on govt power. Govt power includes police corruption.
