I say we make one big Thunderdome and throw em all in.

BLM Riots was election tampering

Floyd was not the only staw that opened the floodgates.

What made it so potent was that it was filmed. That the officer’s actions were noticeably deadly. That they were more concerned about bystanders than arresting Floyd.

Floyd was but one of dozens killed by cops despite being unarmed or unthreatening. It’s been happening long before Floyd, it will continue if you promote the People’s silence to tyranny.

You have no leg to stand on in this argument.

There is far more proof of Police Brutality, far more results in accountability from protesting it, than what ever came out of January 6th.

The only similarities is both sides had delinquents that took it too far.

And all I see is MAGA trying to protect them.

And don’t bother giving me that crap that Democrats bailed out protestors too. They bailed out peaceful protestors who were unjustly arrested. The amount of people arrested for BLM far exceeded Jan 6th, I might add. The difference there is Jan 6th got far more convictions.

Sit down. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Actual statistics don't back you up

Those statistics don’t conflict with my comment. In fact, they have nothing to do with it.

Try reading my comment again and making less assumptions that I care about race in terms of police brutality and ask yourself why you do.

Everything the Democrats did in 2017 , 2018 , 2019: and 2020 was election tampering , 4:years of chaos

Tell that to her.

Thing is, there are folks who will claim either (BLM & Jan 6) was a protest against a (percieved) wrong.

Bottom line is, if it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, THEN it ain't rioting thug using a protest an excuse to loot, destroy, and attack innocent people.

How do you know the looters were part of the BLM protest happening on June 1st?

Which is when this store was robbed.

How do you know that?

Did you look up where the jewelry store is at in the Bronx? It's on East 188th Street.

Did you look up where the BLM protest took place on that day? It was the Restoration plaza.

Did you look to see how close Restoration Plaza and East 188th street are?

No.

You didn't do any of that.

Because if you had, you'd know that the store is an hour away from where the protest was happening. And that it was in an area with a heavy concentration of jewelry stores. Like the street is lined with them.

That happens in old cities like New York, industries are historically located in specific areas. Unlike Midwest cities where any business can be just about anywhere.

So, if you go back and re-read the article, you'd note that the whole street was being attacked.

A whole street of jewelry stores.

That was an hour away from where a protest was happening.

So, is it likely, as you have assumed, that a bunch of protestors an hour away hopped onto a train to go all the way across town for an hour to loot specific stores?

OR

Did a bunch of criminally-minded people take an opportunity when the cops were busy with something else to strike at a location that has a high concentration of small valuable items that can be easily carried away and hidden? And that is the only connection between the two- criminals knew the cops were busy and took advantage of that?

Which of those is more likely?

Correct, I didn't look up what happened in Bklyn.
Why would I?
I was talking about the BLM protest/riots on Jun 1st in THA BRONX.

You know, my home?

Much like you reading only the 1st line in a Wiki entry, you didn't read my comment. No biggie, I do the same all the time, just like I skipped through most of yours now.

Now try again with mine.

See the last lines?

Here, allow me to assist:

"Bottom line is, if it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, THEN it ain't rioting thug using a protest an excuse to loot, destroy, and attack innocent people."

oops, my bad, left out a word

Here's the corrected version:

Bottom line is, if it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, THEN it ain't rioting thug using a protest as an excuse to loot, destroy, and attack innocent people.

That means rioting thugs used the protest as an EXCUSE to, you know, do as rioting thugs do.

Hope this clarifies things!

I was waiting for you to 'correct' on my literal hometown again, because I'm too busy looking out my window to look stuff up in Bed-Stuy, so I had been saving this for that. As you can see the screenshots begin at 5:10pm, which is round when I posted the other comment. I opted for horizonal pasting together as it's just disconnected excerpts from that article, specifically naming neighborhoods and streets.

For some perpsective, Fordham Rd (E & W) is a long assed street stretching east from the East River shore of the Bronx facing Manhattan (and a bridge going into it), all the way west to Southern Blvd, where it wends between the Bx Zoo and Botanical Gardens and comes out of the other side of Bronx Park East as Pelham Pkwy, which it continues under that name eastward to where it become Shore Road when it gets past the Pelham Bay Bridge then hits New Rochelle.

I call it the central spine of the Bronx, and it has more traffic than most highways do in other states. If you ain't from around here, it's panic city driving through on it. Hell, it's that for us too, that busy crammed with speeding cars and intersects with the likes of other busy streets like S. Blvd, 3rd & Webster, the Grand Concourse, Jerome...

Basically Fordham Rd is 190th St, so 193rd runs parallel north of it, 188th, south.

I had lived round Arthur Ave (Belmont/Little Italy of the Bronx for tourists) right off Fordham for 21 yrs as well a gone to hs, college, and worked jobs there (loads of stores) then ended up back home in the P Pkwy area a decade ago, where thank goodness I didn't have to deal with that mayhem as this part of the neighborhood is gloriously boringly residential. So, yeah, wasn't exactly literally out my window, but on the local news. It would have been if I was still at my apt round Arthur.

The Bx has a pop of nearly a million & a half, almost half 'Black.' Co-op City alone has round 44,000 people - more live in that development that what most folks call "cities."
Bklyn itself would be the 6th largest city in the USA if it was separate from NYC. Restoration Pk weren't the only gig in town during the BLM protests & riots.

Start at the beginning of that article.

It talks about the BLM protests that started on June 1st.

Then get to the part when it says "as yet unidentified groups."

Then stop.

I'm gonna repeat it for you again, "as yet unidentified groups."

What does that mean? It means that we don't know anything about them. We don't know their motives. We don't know who they are. We don't know where they came from.

They could have been a gang of international jewel thieves. They could have been a cult that believes the making and selling of jewelry is the greatest of all sins, and that day was they day they decided to strike a blow for morality!

You. Don't. Know.

Then you go on to engage in a classic mistake, and assume that 2 events that happen close together in a linear time frame must be related.

You have no evidence that says these 2 events are related to each other beyond happening on the same calendar day in a given geographical area.

You don't know who broke into that jewelry store. You don't know who assaulted that woman. It could have been a deranged ex. That ex could have broken into the store and set off the alarms with the intent of drawing that woman to the location. With the express intent of beating her.

You simply don't know.

Maybe take some time to consider why you jumped to that conclusion without any evidence?

Give it a rest.

Ya tried ta hoodwink me.

My hood.

Your bogus narrative.

You got busted.

Next time

when you don't know

what you're talking about

look it up

and READ past one plucked word.

mkay?

BLM riots bad

lesson learned.

We done?

Yeah, we done.

Here, watch and read from someone who live in th emiddle of it:

https://covid-19archive.org/s/bronx-community-college-new-york/item/44145

You are not one of us.
No one appointed you to be our spokesman

Are you mad that I pointed out that because 2 events happened near each other in time and geography you assumed that they MUST be connected?

Because it seems like you're mad that I pointed out you assumed that events that happened in a linear time frame must be related.
