Wrong Cookie

I thought there was someone with that name that was one of Goff's friends or his sister or something.

Yes, she was 100% woman and a balck. She was run off by the loony right.

While this board can be hilarious and sometimes a little to crazy for this middle aged pretty boring guy, what is the endgame of the protests? All I hear is vague terms. In my opinion in a few months nothing will have changed, except the damage to business owners becauses of the thin margins they were on from COVID and now this.

Tea Party- no end game for they were hypocrites, look at the national deficit.

Race Protests after COVID - The hypocrisy, you think it cannot go any higher, it just keeps going. I know and I know probably many on here have delt with the passing of loved ones. Funerals limited to certain amouont of people during COVID.
Now 1000s of people in the streets and that is ok? This is still going on for funerals in the state of IL.

I have never seen such hypocrisy in my life. A little over a week ago people were being arrested for going to work, but thousands of people protesting together is okay? I am not talking a bout the looters, there is a difference. I am for the protests, but why not call off all social distancing, phases, etc.

I carefully listened ot Drew Brees minute long talk on the flag. He literally checked every box and on ESPN the headline is basically Drew Brees is a racist.

The cops were arreste and I dont know a soul who is in favor of the cops. Racism is real, its horrible. We have a long way to go, but we have improved and need to keep improving.

Again what is the end game to all of this?

From Trump, to the media, Governors, Mayors, i dont think anyone knows.

I think it just fizzles out for there is no end game.

Oh wait I know one, VOTE!!!!! November will be interesting. If people dont vote, this is all for nothing and how weird and hypocritical this all is.

I remember hearing Parkins and others like him saying it was selfish to go to a 1/4 filled stadium do to COVID, but okay to protest, sweating and yelling with thousands of people not selfish?

Will we look back at this time in history and see a change? I just dont know or know of one except voting in November.

Peaceful protests did not work.
Violence brought attention.
Without buildings burning we are not talking about this.
I am responsible too. I didn't see it two weeks ago like I see it now.

I think that the burning, looting, murders of cops, etc. has probably ended peaceful progress in race relations in this country forever. .

Anyone who is closed off to the message and request because of the looting is an easily confused fool who probably has no effect on the discussion anyway. The macro level issue of reform is easily bifurcated from the micro issue of looting. I can chew gum and walk at the same time

The looters and arsonists are simply one thing. Looters and arsonists who have committed felonies and deserve to go to prison. Looking for something other than that in the actions of people who are looting and burning as well as murdering police, beating up shop owners is nothing but bullshit propaganda spewed by people who look for some excuse for the criminal actions that these vile people do.

And when I hear the words, "peaceful protestors" when describing these hate mongers on the streets, I have to hurl. Get the hell off of the streets and actually do something positive to improve the world not defile it.

I'll go one better with you, even if every single person protesting also became a looter, it doesn't alter the truth of the original message.

I wonder how many hand guns, rifles, and shotguns have been sold this last week? I'd say thousands and thousands. People are going to take the law into their own hands and I cannot blame them. Watching that family in Cleveland defend their bakery from looters and arsonists yesterday told me everything about what people are really going to do. Those people were ready to shoot anyone who came into their bakery. They were scared and it showed and scared people do shoot out of fear most of the time I believe.

the endgame is to reduce overpolicing generally and in particularly in relation to the african american community

If you don't think police forces across this country have become more militarized in the past 15 years then you aren't paying attention. That isn't even opinion.

Easily. The Illinois firearms site is so overloaded you can't get through.
