I’ve looked on the website and haven’t seen that stated anywhere. 

donations on the Black Lives Matter website go directly to a company called ActBlue Charities, which is the Democratic Party’s leading online donor platform.

Personally I support the NHL/players in this decision & show of solidarity.. that's ftr.

 

That said, it appears this modern society is rather inconsistent & hypocritical in so many areas/issues which are closely connected. All presented through a ludicrously dishonest, propagandized, bought & paid media.

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. 

Well if we can't watch hockey anymore.

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

No, I am supporting an office defending himself against being stabbed if that's what happened,  and I wouldn't expect him to take a chance with his hands on a guy that is sitting in his vehicle. Nobody even knows yet what the actual truth is , but you are supporting what....the man being allowed to get into his vehicle with kids in the back seat , reaching for a knife on his floorboard , and officers not being able to use the weapons they were issued to stop him?

If it's not too much trouble, my vote is to start a new one so that there is less stink associated in the new thread with today's arguing.

 

Clean slate!

 

GCG!  And thanks as always!

That would be my vote too (and maybe even leave this thread open, but retitile it "Discussion around Playoff Pause" or something like that)

 

And I second Kragar's kudos to you, Roberts.  You stepped into the breach and have become a good luck icon!!!

BLM is a movement, involving people with many different ideologies. That quote from it's 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?

I suppose we will see as more comes out. We will likely never actually know because there will be 2 stories.  If the man reached for a knife after being tasered with kids in his car this is a much different story.

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.

Private Foundations, from my many years of research, are the real culprit. They are unrestrained, unaccountable influence peddlers. The robber barons from the 19th century never really went anywhere, they all put their money into these groups which bribe and influence society. Take the time to read about them, they are a form of parallel government. You can think of their essentially limitless coffers as one of the major sources of lobbying politicians, so you are onto something, but as always it goes a lot deeper.

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).

They have guns 

 

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 ?

 

You don't know about police threat analysis and reaction protocols do you?

[Sharpshooter]

I’m fully supportive of the postponement. Finally nice to see the team and league get behind this moment.

if you want to selectively take from an interview then sure. 
 

She may identify as Marxist however I see no tropes of Marxism within their wider economic agenda. BLM is not a political party but an umbrella organisation that encompass people from across the political spectrum.

Strictly due to a graph I saw with almost opposite numbers posted earlier..

this is from https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/

	2017	2018	2019	2020*
White	457	399	370	215
Black	223	209	235	111
Hispanic	179	148	158	71
Other	44	36	39	15
Unknown	84	204	202	146

 

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... 

The United States has a massive homicide problem in general.  A couple of weeks ago I tried to look in to the homicide per capita amongst countries that rank in the top tier of the human development index.  USA came in with the 5th highest number

FYI socialism and Marxism and communism are all different things.

 

I think Norway especially would disagree with the assessment of that cartoon 

Norway is a welfare state with a capitalist economy. Now we are talking different things.

I am not trying to be a dck, and I would be saying this is the man was white,  or any other colour . I thought this is what people were supposed to be doing ....having discussions. I am always willing to have an open mind , and not even saying this is 100% the way it is and wont hear anything else. These are my honest thoughts at this point .
