Bingo. It says on their website that they’re Marxists lmao.

There is a short Marxist manifesto you could read, and its underlying principals are actually the only value which could save modern humanity. But I know reading a couple hundred pages is hard . So just keep being ignorant. Its a fact that real communism was never done. Never even tried, by a "normal" society.

There’s always the chance this one is BS, but who knows? Sure as hell isnt anyone here. Careful how much we all buy into either side...

Since a lot of posters use criminality as a justification for the cops blowing people away, what about white collar crime that somehow never gets punished? Particularly the banksters and hedge fund managers who crashed the economy in 2008, throwing millions of people out of their homes and destroying their life savings.  Plenty of rules broken there and absolutely catastrophic consequences across the whole society, 50% of which now lives in poverty.  Yet those criminals were never even charged, let alone convicted, down in the Land of the Free.  Conclusion:  laws are selectively enforced to the benefit of the powerful.

That is a salient point that is seemingly ignored. Quite a bit.

I would say that the perpetrators (perceived or real) of violent crime are more likely to be shot by police then white collar criminals.

 

Many white collar criminals are serving jail sentences right now, many that are too lenient though probably, just felt like pointing that out since you say they 'never' get punished.. speaking in absolutes rarely helps.

 

As has been pointed out many times in this thread, politicians are the real crooks here.

For me it's not that I don't support it I just think it's borderline useless as far as a solution, it helps with awareness, solidarity and togetherness, more of a support group. Much more is needed to actually induce change. In my life I've found protests don't accomplish much of anything except for a clap on the back. Very people few change their fundamental mind set based on someone arguing with them. Just ask my brother and I.

It promotes violence and destruction and is no better than ANTIFA. Both share extreme left ideologies and literally want to destroy America at its roots. Glad I don’t live down there because I will put money on it that this election will bring civil war.

I think these numbers are accurate. Although it doesn't give the true picture as certain demographics are more populous so of course their numbers will be higher. the proportional percentages give a more clear image.

Gotta love when these topics are discussed both the juveniles and rednecks come right out of the woodwork and identify themselves to the world

Hockey is following the lead of Basketball and Baseball, but the gist of it is, most professional franchises are owned by stinking rich white guys who prominently vote republican (although there are exceptions, like Mark Cuban)

 

These owners often have the ear of their Governors, Congresspeople, Senators and yes, even POTUS. The hope is that if pressure is put on these owners, pressure is in turn put on politicians....

 

...And lol at the "I've watched my last NHL game" Nancies....

Yeah I figured that's the motivation. Can't look bad, just putting on a show. I'm just wondering what I should do tonight now. I already believe black likes matter. Am I supposed to believe it more, take it here to the streets in my little rural Canadian town and protest, or do I just ignore all this rubbish now and forget about it.

 

For me I have a big problem with stunts like this that lack intelligence to actually focus on the actual problem. I personally have lost some respect for the movement. let's just cancel hockey, birthday parties, and any type of enjoyment until the world is fixed.

This might sound odd at first but I don't agree with protesting in that manner at all when the power of raising awareness and seeing ones sports "hero's" or otherwise along that line could be pushing it hard in games, whether it put on jersery's, on the boards, big screens, commercial's.. etc etc... 

To me it seems that possibility of reaching that many people to push the message over and over again would be far more productive imo..

he didn’t take the knife, he did not have the knife in his hand nor did he point the knife 

 

you think “potentially reaching” for a knife is cause for lethal force ?

Yes. Especially after resisting arrest,  being tasered . Walking to ur car after that, and reaching for a knife is cause ( if that in fact was the case).

check out  www.thezeitgeistmovement.com if you care. Most bring up socialism, communism as bad, and then I see the cool cartoon. Its hilarious to think people cannot work together to make everything free, thus removing pretty much all of the criminality to all of humanity, and allowing us to actually evolve as a universal species. However, continue to site outdated concepts born out of the second world war as the pinnacles of human thought and creativity in managing the world as a single organism. Hilarious

[Qwags]

BLM is a movement, involving people with many different ideologies. That quote from its founder was back in 2015. 

 

Since then, the movement has evolved, quite significantly. Are you trying to tell me that Mitt Romney, Mr. Cheesecake himself, is a Marxist?

You support the police in a position as executioners for anyone who reaches for a knife? Terrifying.
