The attack on Paul Pelosi

@Ynotisay I kind of agree, the cops should have rushed in, before the guy could send Pelosi to the ER with a fractured skull, instead of casually asking "hey, what's going on here".

@Northwest OK. To me it looked like they were trying to assess the situation and, initially, diffuse it. I don't know what information they had as they walked up to that door. They responded immediately when the attack took place. If they went in right out of the chute they'd be accused of police brutality or overreach. If they waited longer it's "the police don't care." It's a lose-lose situation.

@Ynotisay Realistically, when the door opens and the cops see a guy standing there with a hammer in his hand and holding the arm of the other person, they should know something isn't right... 😖

@Carla And yet they think being described as hateful is "harsh". 🤔

@bijouxbroussard which of course, is the epitome of ridiculousness.
One need only look to what leads them...

@sunsporter1649 Except none of these right-wing conspiracy theories are ever proven true.

@BohemianBoo Conspiracy theories arent about being true. They are either about allowing people to avoid facing the truth. Or to allow people to gather into a common cause, when they feel so isolated and insignificant they cant find another way to go on...😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I agree with all that, plus it's about feeling special. Like you have this amazing truth that 99% of society doesn't know about.
I think that's why the modern Right keeps fragmenting. A community based around conspiracy theories can't get too big because then the "truth" that you know isn't special anymore. Your community always has to be small to be special.

@Piper We know, she is such a sweet old lady, never a bad word about anybody, loving and caring, staying beside her husband during his time of need, never leaves his bedside

@Northwest I will say on a related note that it's always interesting to me that cops try to tell suspects to drop whatever weapon they are holding, even though I'm sure they know it won't work.

@LordShadowfire They could have really prevented this from happening. Paul Pelosi is not fully recovered yet. What's up guys was not going to cut it, especially given that they were there in response to a 911 call from inside the house. Having seen the broken glass, did they think he's in the middle of a home improvement project?

It's a well known "secret" that some cops in SF (and Seattle) are deliberately not responding to certain calls, to make a point.

@Kwek00 Certainly didn't say to stop,which is as bad. Go ahead and have the last word. I won't read it or anyone else.

@MrBrownstone So you admit that you were wrong then? Cause we changed the subject. But hey,changing the subject kinda saved you from substatiating yet another baseless claim. Since I'm not going to make you proof a negative, I'll defend Biden by doing all the things you are incapable to do.

[quote][b]LEMON:[/b] I'm sure like many Americans, you have watched this pictures that are coming out Minneapolis and St. Paul and other cities, these protests. They're happening all over the country. No one condones this kind of destruction. But what do you say to these protesters, many of whom are outraged, Mr. Vice President. They are sick and they are tired of black men being unjustly killed. What do you say to them?

[b]BIDEN:[/b] I say they have a right to be in fact angry and frustrated. [b]And more violence, hurting more people, isn't going to answer the question.[/b] But they're totally correct, it is time it stops. We have to -- look, think about this. You and I have talked about this before, Don, in another context.[/quote]

That's a quote from the 29th of may and the beginning of the riots were on the 26th of may. On the 30th of may he gave the following statement:

[quote]Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. [b]But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.

But it's kinda hard to pick this stuff up when you are entrenched in your little conservative echo chambers that have abandoned reality in favor of their bigotted fantasies.

@tindrummer Changing the toppic and running away is way more courageous then admitting you are wrong. That's what decent folk do these days.

[b]EDIT:[/b] Lol, and then he blocked me too... cause that's what you get when you can't handle reality.

@Smoothsailing121 mate, the sad state of affairs is, while English is your only language, it's not your mother language, rather it's the language of your mother's cousin's friend she once met at a wedding.

This must be satire

@HannibalAteMeOut Sadly, this guy represents a lot of Americans. He's only on here when there's a commercial break on Fox News.

@gol979 Yes, they caught him and he had ID, so they know who he is.

@LvChris I know. It's so funny when somebody makes horrible, hateful remarks about someone else, and never retracts them, even when it's obvious how wrong they are.
