@Siam @Catogrande he can just bloody say they're rare events then and not make up some bizarre mind worm for me to fixate on! He needs to cater to us dummies too.
He means you have a 1 in a billion chance of it happening TODAY. Which means that with 330 million people these 1 in a billion chances happen every 3 days.

As expected the movement does a little bit of a side-step and starts moving toward their new target
I'd expect them to move onto Kashmir & India's actions there shortly.

Damn, this dude laying it all out.
Both realities can be true, and right now BLM are only looking at one side. And based on the tweets above they are getting further and further from the core message

@canefan absolutely, and racist attitudes are still prevalent. But he's talking about death specifically, which a lot of the over the top rhetoric from BLM has focussed on. The stats don't back up the BLM narrative at all.

Which is a shame because these are real issues and they have a big opportunity right now. The NRA must be keeping very quiet right now

I think you might find these deaths are in cities with the strictest gun laws

Gun laws regarding sales? The far away impression I have is that it's pretty easy to get guns over the counter. I'm happy to be educated on this matter

@canefan Unfortunately a heck of a lot of folk in these riot cities are finding out that isn't the case at all. Coilon Noir was bought on to the Rogan podcast to talk about it as there's a big upsurge in people needing guns with the crime going on and the threat of police defunding.

@Rembrandt that way of thinking that endorses the State Attorney to move heaven and earth in a prosecution against the house owner's versus the idea that it was highly appropriate for the house owner's to act as they did, is going to be one hell of a collision.
Man, that's a fundamental piece of US existence the left is gambling with there.
Niall Ferguson observed that gun ownership predicts presidential elections far more accurately than polls
Lots of guns being bought in America right now.

It's easy to see why Tucker is the most watched show in all of US prime time TV
Fucking hell.
Is it opposite day or something?
And people like Jerry Taylor are the biggest c**ts of all.
Saying they would do one thing in the hope that someone will do it for them.
There's no fucking way he would have rushed the couple and bashed their brains in.
It's all becoming very cultish, do as I say not do as I do.

Sad to say this is becoming the norm. Everything seems based on reactionary responses. I see the incarnation of Trump, BoJo et al as something of a pushback against the identity politics we've been force fed for some time. I do worry about the potential backlash which is beginning to seem inevitable.

While actually have sympathy for the view of Israel's actions, it's really difficult to see what on earth black lives have to do with jews and arabs in the Middle East
