I find it funny how people support Trump saying he’s not racist

@TakingBackMidgaard That’s a lie. At no point was Obama suggesting that police murder protesters. Trump has consistently done so.

@bijouxbroussard Neither of them have

@TakingBackMidgaard Trump has both encouraged law enforcement to “not go easy on those accused” and recently, when an armed teenager drove to a protest and shot two protesters to death, Trump supported the [b]teenager[/b]—not the two unarmed men he killed.

@bijouxbroussard But your claim was, [quote]That’s a lie. At no point was Obama suggesting that police murder protesters. Trump has consistently done so.[/quote]

Not going easy on those who organize a mass that commits arson, vandalism, assault, theft, etc seems justified.

However none of that mentions police being able to murder " Protesters "

As for Kyle, there was proof of him being assaulted not just by by standers and 3rd party surveillance but the Prosecutor as well...

[@[b]TakingBackMidgaard] I’m speaking of before the protests.
He said the following to a class of graduating police officers:
[quote] — -- President Donald Trump seemed to encourage police to be more violent in handling potential offenders during a speech to law enforcement officers today.

[b]"Please don't be too nice," he said to the audience in Long Island, New York.

While the speech was largely focused on the fight against the gang MS-13, it appeared that Trump was directing his comments about police interactions with suspected criminals in general.

He described the precautions typically taken by police where they place a hand over a suspect's head while they're being put into a police car to protect them.

"When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’" he said.[/b]
The POTUS said this, in 2017.[quote][/quote]


[quote] As for Kyle, there was proof of him being assaulted not just by by standers and 3rd party surveillance but the Prosecutor as well...[/quote]

He [b]drove[/b] there, armed. Why was he there, if he didn’t intend to shoot someone ? Nobody would’ve hassled him, if he’d kept his arse at home. He went there looking for trouble. He knew he wasn’t there to join the protesters, right ?

Then there’s where Trump encouraged people to shoot looters—“When then looting starts, the shooting starts !”
I don’t support looting under any circumstances, I want to make that clear. But you folk are the so-called “pro-life”: right ? Yet apparently you don’t values lives over property.

What is the problem here?

Kyle was there cleaning up vandalism and aiding the injured. [quote] Nobody would’ve hassled him, if he’d kept his arse at home.[/quote]This is true and can be said for any side of the situation.

[quote]But you folk are the so-called “pro-life”: right ? Yet apparently you don’t values lives over property.[/quote]Pro-life / Pro-choice is about abortion so I don't know why you are bringing that up, probably grasping at straws huh? Even that being said, I am pro-choice.

Just goes to show that you are more judgmental, filled with hate, and assumption tossing than the people you categorize and condemn.

@TakingBackMidgaard Did Obama encourage the Bundy criminals when they violently occupied a federal building?

[@[quote]TakingBackMidgaard]
Kyle was there cleaning up vandalism and aiding the injured[/quote].
Bullsh*t. He was a racist there to hassle the protesters. That’s why he brought a gun. If someone black showed up armed at one of those maskless flag-waving “open America” protests and wasn’t joining them you would [b]not[/b] be confused.

[quote] Pro-life / Pro-choice is about abortion so I don't know why you are bringing that up, probably grasping at straws huh? Even that being said, I am pro-choice.[/quote]

How many times have people who want to interfere with women’s reproductive choices used the excuse “we value human life” ? Another lie, since they often also support the death penalty. Either they actually value life, or they have other motives. So poor Kyle felt “hassled”. But two people are dead because [b]he[/b] chose not to stay home. Didn’t their lives matter ?

[quote] Just goes to show that you are more judgmental, filled with hate, and assumption tossing than the people you categorize and condemn.[/quote]

So sue me. I have a problem when people have to be as afraid of the police as they are of criminals. You folks wrote the book on hatred. That’s who still supports Donald Trump.

@bijouxbroussard If all you can do is make hypothetical "what if" and What about-isms" then I would have to say things are not nearly as bad as you seem to be subjectively mentioning.

Nobody should have to be showing up to a town and wreaking havoc on it's people, nobody.

Why are you bringing up "All Lives Matter"? This has nothing to do about that.

Finally, Who are you referring to as "You folk" Are you still making assumptions on people you know nothing about? You're becoming your own worst enemy while trying to be the "Greater Good"

I am getting really fed up with one sided people, the "All or Nothing" crowd. This can be found anywhere.

Since you seem to be blinded by the hate you have for some reason, I am going to let you know a little about me so you can stop making pointless talking points you have for those you judge incorrectly.

* I am a registered Republican.

* I support the the right for citizens to arm themselves.

* I support the Military, Police, Fire, Paramedic, etc.

* I support the Minority Community.

* I am for Abortion (Not as a form of Birth Control)(Yes anyone can have an opinion)

* I am for protecting the Environment (I work for the Indiana DNR) (Masters in Environmental Science)

* I believe there should be a bare minimum cheaper route for health care - I believe people should still have the choice for private health care, however.

* I don't like groups such as Black Lives Matter and Antifa as well as groups like Proud Boys or those White polo shirt wearing torch wielders.

* I support a the free market.

* I am a practicing Norse Pagan, not a Christian.

* I don't believe in White Privilege - I do believe in Wealth Privilege

* I believe there are some social programs that should be gotten rid of to better fund those that are more necessary.

* I support same sex marriage (I have personal thoughts against some of the things that go on during pride parades though)

* I support the converting of jails into a social rehab complex.

I could go on, and this is the majority of the silent majority. This is how I was raised. So I get concerned with the many binary minded hate mongers such as yourself.

So instead of rehearsing talking points you made for yourself (That clearly have no reason in this conversation) Maybe work on yourself? Lose the hate and judgemental mind you have.

@TakingBackMidgaard You speak like a conservative and are quick to label someone who disagrees with you as “hate-filled”, which like I said, is [b]ironic[/b], since you folks wrote the book. Black Lives Matter exists because, as I also said, people were having to be as afraid of the police as they were of [b]criminals[/b], which is wrong. I’m guessing that as a Norse pagan you’re not burdened by the concept of “turning the other cheek” so you probably don’t [b]love[/b] those who behave as enemies towards you...right ? So it seems a bit hypocritical for you to judge me.
You can’t make assumptions about me, either. I don’t hate police—my brother’s a retired police officer. But out of uniform, he’s had the same experience as many other black men—being profiled and treated with unwarranted suspicion.

@bijouxbroussard I simply gave a brief discussion on who I am. I no way was that meant to be anything else. Yet you somehow managed that to be me comparing yourself to me...

You need to read to listen not read to respond.

And that’s not a value of Norse virtue. One of the many values that is kind of like that is: [quote] “Where you recognise evil, speak out against it, and give no truces to your enemies“ Havamal 127 [/quote]

I don’t consider BLM evil however in my hometown the two founders of my towns BLM chapter were arrested, one for Domestic Battery and Breaking a restraining order. The other for assaulting an officer and trying to take his taser. This chapter hasn’t done anything for the community.

However there are many black community organizations that I whole heartily stand by and support who do wonders for the community.

I don’t think that people who disagree with me are hate filled, but the words you use and the blind tossing of random talking point where they don’t even fit or belong has me think you have some subjective hate going on. Which is fine, we are all human and that’s normal. But I’ll never understand why people think republicans and democrats must hate one another.

Had Tulsi Gabbard been the nominee I would vote for her in a heart beat. She’s a democrat and shows love and support for all political affiliations like it should be. But alas, money speaks louder than virtues.
