Riot reviews from actual citizens of towns that had riots?

[Ooloo]

Anyone have any? I weigh the opinion of somebody who actually has to deal with this shit a lot higher than people who get to watch it on TV, highly curated, while eating cheeseburgers.

[Gravydoo II]

Hahah, this is like asking for people who know someone who died in a chicago gun fight. Another MAJOR concern of the same crowd. lol

The only one in my area was stupid Logan Paul (or one of his dumb brothers I forget who) organizing a break in at Fashion Square Mall on camera for internet fame and clout during the George Floyd protests. Fashion Square being one of the fanciest and most expensive malls in the state if not the most, so he was stupid to think there wouldn’t be legal repercussions for it, and there were for him

So, you're a fan of anecdotal evidence? gotcha.

[Jibartik]

bill maher says that kyle watched too many comic book movies so actually it was cartoons that caused the violence.

[TheBardo]

I have been in a riot and It was fine and not such a big deal as the media made it out to be

[TheBardo]

Except for the police hitting people sitting on the floor for no reason

[Jimjam]

There were a few riots when I lived in Manchester (close to the city centre and the football ground). Mainly football hooliganism, but the largest one was in response to police violence (Mark Duggan was shot and killed).

I lived several floors up in a locked compound so just stayed home. I probably posted about it here.

Local news article recently updated about the riot.

www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/people-were-robbing-everything-could-21222319

It was a bit like the recent America riots. Loads of people frustrated feeling society failed them and lashing out. 2008-2011 was a rough time of government austerity and poor employment prospects. People were unhappy.

Portland has always been a shit hole. Rioters there were just trying to sprinkle some sugar on that turd.

-have been there

Why doesn't our do-nothing President and do-nothing VP call out the National Guard. Only thing Brandon is good for is signing off on 1.2 tril packages.

Another Trumptard who doesn't understand how government works (or should work).

The answer is because it's an overreach of Federal powers. Meaning, it's not his job.

The local governments in cities like Portland and Seattle need to answer for shit like this. And so do Govs Brown and Inslee to an extent.

I live in a very liberal (an coincidentally affluent) city. That shit gets shut down here pretty quickly considering how many illiberal moron students and college drop outs we have here. We also don't let redneck kids walk around with assault rifles. Win/Win.

[Jibartik]

I would support real bullets for riot police at this piont.

Imminent lawless action is not protected under the First Amendment. You can't redefine the rules to fit your narrative on every occasion.

Nice bullshit article. The law is with me, as I said, imminent threats are not protected. Calling for the killing of cops is something that low moral people do. These low moral people are compromising our society and you stand idly by playing semantics over it.

[robayon]

https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/knox-v-pennsylvania/

I feel as a person of faith myself that there's no such thing as an ethical capitalist, so I'll just ignore your feelings about morality as long as you support the American status quo, which causes far more global violence than any amount of dead cops here

[Jibartik]

I should be able to threaten whoever I want and if anyone has a problem with it they can come to my house and get their head blown off.

That's how you dont let tiktok take over.

Same with calling for the killing of protestors, vandals, and thieves.

[Whale biologist]

is it really a SCOTUS issue or a shutup Gravydoo issue?

Shutup Gravydoo.

[Ooloo]

Same with calling for the killing of protestors, vandals, and thieves.

Nobody is calling for them to be killed, we're calling for them to even be arrested or prosecuted at all. Most aren't, even when violent. The police often either are unable or unwilling to intervene, which isn't surprising considering the media is ready to crucify them the minute they use any force at all against the totally peaceful mob of peace.

Peacefully protest all you want, it's your right, but throw a skateboard at kyle's head while he's trying to get away from you and you might just get shot.

Well you know your honor, opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one.

[Gravydoo II]

Nobody called for killing cops.

Especially if you see a cop break a window or do anything you deem as "rioting" they deserve to die, do they not?

Isnt that what you guys have been saying?? Wearing a uniform doesnt make you unable to break the law. You guys are saying any law broken deserves to be punished with bullets. Whatever you define as "rioting" which could be anything from being outside after dark to looting and burning stores. I wonder why you guys didnt say that about the jan 6th terrorists... They were rioting, in the capitol, dont they all deserve to die?

[Elizondo]

about 50 or so cops are gunned down a year. Cops gun down at least 1000 people in america every year.

So yeah. Tell me whos the real threat here.. The guys getting shot or the guys going the shooting 20 times more often? Fact is, most of the "threats" they face can be handled differently.

Some how, German police kill one person a year, maybe. One year, their entire police force shot 37 bullets in action, all year. 37 bullets.

When you walk around with a hammer and LITERAL IMMUNITY from prosecution, everything is just another nail. Weird how when cops didnt have tons of guns and military hardware they were not slaughtering americans like they are.

I live in Philadelphia and most of what I saw was mom and pops getting looted and 100s of people blocking the streets/throwing stuff at police. Most of my block is gay so they didnt dare step on our street.

riots are just an excuse to loot and break shit

same old story

the reason our society is structured to prevent collective action like that is because Collective Action Works

for better or for worse, but it yields change

[Gravydoo II]

Seems like the only difference is if you agree with them or not. If you think police gunning down unarmed people is ok, its a riot. If you think its not ok for police to kill unarmed people, its a protest. 93% were without incident but you only bring up the minority and present it as "this is what happened every single time. All of america was burning. they burned cities down". Its just a lie they continue to spout because they want to take away peoples rights to protest at all. Well, unless its assaulting the capitol, that kind of protest is ok to them.

[robayon]

This kind of anti-collectivism is not new in America, they love to blame 'outside agitators' and 'communists' every time a disadvantaged group attempts to gain respect. Depending on who you ask or are listening to, you will often see a protest for the rights of minorities referred to as a 'riot' when it's a protest when white people do it. Sort of works the same way when you see on the news 'homeless man robs gas station', but the flipside of that is you never see "man who owns three bedroom house kills wife"

And anyone waiting for a protest to be 'legal' is a fool, the most effective kinds of protests are always the illegal ones

Riot seems like a great guild. Ive partied up with many of them and found them almost unanimously to be decent, reliable companions on the battlefield. Not sure why everyone in this thread is so down on them.

It's ok Im not too into the reality filmmaking style where they literally time travel to an actual event and just film it happening in real life, because it feels cheep but otherwise it's really good.

Protip: This shit is racist, and obnoxious and makes dems lose elections hth

Riots = breaking and burning and looting and assaulting. Protest = peacefully holding signs and chanting stuff. It's really not complicated at all, but please continue to be paranoid that there are evil white supremacists everywhere and that the sky is falling and we need to burn the system down or whatever. Violent riots are really only "effective" insofar as they are literally blackmail. It's mob rule. Give me what I want or I will hurt you. Total slimeball, scumbag moves that get a pass from the MSM because it's for some utopian fairytale "greater good". Same thing every tyranical evil murderous dictator ever in history thought.

[robayon]

all you got out of that was that white people are bad? lmao

i mean, they are, but that's not the point i was making at all

I wonder what watching noah and mother double feature would do to someone's brain. I want to try it but am afraid.
