George Floyd was talked about and will continue to be talked about for months and was buried in a fucking gold casket (during the same period you weren't allowed to have a funeral for meemaw). In two weeks nobody will remember this chick's name and her death will do nothing more than to punish the people she ideologically agreed with.

Her death will be nothing more than a number on a spreadsheet that opportunists can use to crack down on her friends & family.

*Standard casket covered in cheap gold leaf; and there is absollutely no comparison between the murder of him and the racist person who threatened the safety of congresspeople by nearly entering a room in the Capitol building where some congresspeople were still in attendance. She was also well aware that lethal force against her was likely in that kind of situation, given her 14 years of service. She would have happily killed a person storming into Trump's office.

congresspeople, the most oppressed minority.

Do you want anarchy?

BTW: I don't like the GOP and would hope they burn in hell sooner rather than later, but I think democracy is important, even if it produces these assholes.

Democracy is already dead. We live in a corrupt oligarchy now, ruled by a hostile elite that favors Israel over its own people and has nothing but contempt for working class americans. Democracy died with our media, which is now owned by the same oligarchs.

Yes, but it's how we deal with it that matters

the racist person who threatened the safety of congresspeople

Love the sprinkling in of "muh racism" to justify killing people.

Her Twitter account was focused much of the time on anti-BLM messages and #BlackLivesDontMatter, and similar. That's my reference. You can still look this up, if curious. No, this was not mentioned as a justification for killing her. It was merely a description. If you've seen the videos, she was obviously shot because she was entering a place in the Capitol building that was obviously protected by a security guard on the left with a gun pointed directly at her. It's quite clear in the videos, and yet she tried to jump into his path and that of his gun. She was shot because she was trespassing to a portion of the Capitol building that was protected by an armed guard. Understood?

As u pointed out, she was in airforce security forces. As a result, she likely believed they would react with restraint and proportion. She was wrong. You dont shoot an unarmed woman in the neck, no decent human being would do that. She was an American citizen in her own country, in her own capital. As for the "VIP"s that would supposedly be endangered by the prescence of an unarmed woman they supposedly serve, nobody seemed to care when Antifa surrounded Josh Hawley's house with his wife and child inside and banged on the door. Nobody shot those people dead despite the peril they placed a "VIP" and his children in.

Those congressmen faced far less of a threat than ordinary Americans facing mobs of armed antifa/blm roaming their neighborhoods and beating people with impunity while these congressmen did nothing. Excuse me if I'm not broken up over them possibly facing a fraction of what their citizens have had to face.

Thanks for this. We certainly disagree, however, as many of the terrorists were armed, and some of them heavily armed with ARs.

1) This is very different from the small percentage of BLM protestors, who were also quite far from the Capital building.

2) There are no organized antifa.

3) It was unknown at that time of the invasion who was armed. Many of the protestors had concealed-carry guns. There was thus the potential that she also had one or more weapons.

4) Anyone trespassing in the Capitol building should expect the potential of getting shot, given the necessity to protext congresspeople, who are often threatened with assassination.

Just say you want people you disagree with dead. You people view racism worse than actual violence you guys have such fucked up priorities.

You clearly dropped "she was a racist" the same way someone would drop "he was a child abuser" to justify or dismiss her death.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

She's definitely a racist, and I doubt I "agree" with her, but again: if you, I, or anyone attempt to storm the Capitol building and get shot for doing so, we have only ourselves to blame.

(And as you've likely seen in the news, many are wondering why more of these terrorists were not shot.)

I gotta tell ya, everytime floyd has come up on here, there wasn't a whole lot of outrage. That there's more sympathy for some dumbass that was trespassing in the capitol building isn't surprising, though. She was white, she was a Trump supporter, and this is Saidit.

[–]insta 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

She was white, she was a Trump supporter

Which is why you won't remember her name next month and why her death will mean nothing.

How do you "trespass" in a public building?

75 million people voted for trump. She wont be forgotten so easily, nor will the behavior of Republicans. Hopefully this will be the death of the gop and out of the dystopian crackdown to come a new populist party or a new realignment of the political reality.

Between this and $2000 stimulus checks the gop killed, i dont see how the republicans can recover. The dems arent a viable option either. They are the party of blm and antifa.

[–]insta 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

a new realignment of the political reality.

The only hope going forward is the breakdown of the Dems. The electoral map looks bleak for the right going forward, especially since the GOP is going to try it hardest to rebound back into internationalist neoconservativism. Get ready for Dan Crenshaw 2024 and for the GOP never to get over 250 ever again. Another 4-8 years and Arizona is gonna stay permanently blue, and no way Texas is staying red beyond 2024. Florida will likely flop and Ohio is never a given either. The future is not looking good.

By realignment im talking about Huey Long style populism, or at least something radically different from conservatism Inc. Neoconservatism is dead and buried, there is zero chance of it making a revival no matter how hard some wealthy donors try to keep it alive. Thats why many neocons rebranded themselves as liberals, it wasnt just opposition to trump. They know the brand was ruined during the Bush years. They have zero potential appeal to non boomer conservatives and the US too deep in debt, too dysfunctional and has too many resurgent enemies for neoconservatism to work anymore. Dan Crenshaw is largely a punchline, he's a 2004 style politician in a 2020 world.

Im talking about an anti globalist, populist, ecologically conscious brand of socialism that rejects anti white racial identity politics and empire entirely.

It could also possibly mean a break up of the US.

More people are subscribed to Ben Shapiro's podcast than subscribe to that brand of nationalism.

That won't happen. The cancer will just spread through major cities and slowly the US will founder. Texas has maybe until 2028 until it's blue and it shows zero signs of rebelling and if it's not Texas it's not gonna be any other state. Baby boomers are gonna be pushing 80 years old soon and once they go there's not many options left. The future of the right, IMO, relies on the left overplaying their hand. And even there white guilt runs so deep that I think a good chunk of people are unsalvageable, no thanks to two years of absolute control of all branches by the GOP. First thing they should've done is tackled post secondary, now Trump is going to be censored by ideological driven tech workers educated in lefty hell holes. Get fucked Trump.

Something we can definitely agree on. His political ads are fucking cringe beyond belief. He won't win but the GOP doesn't really want to win anyways so they'll prop him up and others like him.
