Re: Who still supports BLM after this?
Who knows what is actually in people's heads....
There was a fascinating thread on NextDoor, in which people wrote in bemoaning the increase in my neighborhood in crime, graffiti, groups of people shooting up drugs & playing loud music at 2 am, etc. There was a post to the effect that it was all Trump's fault.
I wrote in pointing out that the mayor and council of this city have far more responsibility for this state of affairs than Trump possibly could, given who actually is in charge here. The responses were hysterical. Entirely consistent with people who firmly believe that 2 + 2 does not equal 4. Here's one of my favorites:
If these are the people who are dominating in NYC elections, then geez....our city really is doomed. The good news is that my neighborhood is faring much better than neighborhoods like the Upper West Side, and I heard that was true in the 1980s as well.

I did not bother responding...though I would like to ask just how these measures are protecting us, and how these people would explain the runup in crime. Well I already had the answer to that last one...see above.The three examples you gave (bail reform, ending broken windows, not keeping as many people in Rikers) are not making our city worse. They're stopping our city from disproportionately punishing poor people and/or people of color.
There are a lot of mistakes De Blasio has made, and I'm not exactly a fan of his, but police, prison, and bail reform all help to protect ALL members of our our community rather than just a chosen few.

Re: Who still supports BLM after this?
I’ve been quietly talking politics with neighbors — email not NextDoor — and we were surprised to learn we’re on the same page. I just had to make the first move. It kind of grew organically from a conversation about “is the trash ever going to get picked up?” This is a block where a number of my neighbors shined their flashlights into the sky for the number of seconds that G.Floyd had a knee on his neck, so i was initially hesitant.

Bill O'Reilly explains the George Soros' connection to Black Lives Matter, as well as the organization's shady fundraising practices.

DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.

Overall a good article from a first quick read, except for this, which is clearly incorrect:Xan wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 4:36 pm A fascinating look at the ongoing revolution:

"Unlike Mao’s campaign, which lasted from 1966 to 1976, our revolution hasn’t been engineered from the top down."
George Soros and the rest of the globalist elites have been working toward this revolution for decades. They have decided now is the time.
I hope they are wrong, or the world will descend into darkness.

"All the while, armchair lynch mobs have continued to claim the scalps of those who veer from or merely stumble on the path to social-justice enlightenment. It is the full-time job of any American with a public presence to bow down before the identity cult."Xan wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 4:36 pm A fascinating look at the ongoing revolution:

Yep
and for WiseOne:
" As for the public, 62 percent of all Americans, according to a poll by the CATO Institute, now say they’re afraid to voice their political views lest they be punished professionally."
Re: Who still supports BLM after this?
Wow, that's higher than I thought. Not because I didn't believe that unapproved thoughts could lead to being fired or sanctioned, but due to the finding that 62% of Americans actually have those unapproved thoughts. That is cause for celebration!
Of course it goes without saying that those of us who live below our means, save a substantial portion of our income, and invest in the PP have an excellent form of protection that the vast majority of that 62% don't: financial independence. This is why I'm as free with my ideas on this forum as I am. If someone at my workplace finds out about this forum and links it to me, the worst that will happen is that I will say the following two magic words: "I quit." It is incredibly important to be able to say those words at need, even if you have no definite plans to do so.

I found that out in 2010 when I was working at a megacorp and found out that I was going to subjected to an arbitrary firing that had to be meted out to 10% of the workforce every year. My manager hated doing that but otherwise it would be his scalp. I cheered him up a bit by saying "I'll resign instead. That way you can get credit for my leaving without having to fire me."
In fact he changed his career path soon thereafter, going from manager to "individual contributor", I suspect largely because of that arbitrary rule.

P.S.
Protestor: Help, my rights have been violated by mercenaries!
Police: Sorry, man, you defunded us. We don't have the manpower to do anything about it.

BLM mob demands white people move out of their houses and give their homes to black people....
https://twitter.com/i/status/1294076760078684160
They apparently think the people in these houses work for Amazon and they don't like Jeff Bezos very much. Interesting since he's a big BLM supporter.

Re: Who still supports BLM after this?
That's been going on since before the pandemic. Maybe 2017 - remember that girl who demanded white people give up their homes to blac k and brown ones, and then some dumb white guy suggested that she was employing satire?
As a Heeb, I get a little cringey when people suggest I give up my home. (but also )

Slightly less direct than a mugging, but essentially the same concept.

Some people just can't seem to figure that out.

Re: Who still supports BLM after this?
Yikes, Tim Pool talks about a BLM/Antifa psychopath who kicks a guy in the head after he's knocked out on the ground, now police are asking him to turn himself in. Apparently he was ID'd by 4Chan? This happened in Portland, so he'll either be released by the DA or BLM will post his bail. Tim does mention some arrests, especially via the Feds, so some sanity is out there.
You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.
