Mariner Talk Chat Forum

From Pretend Civil Rights Champion Colin Kaepernick on the death of George Floyd:

“When civility leads to death, revolting is the only logical reaction.
The cries for peace will rain down, and when they do, they will land on deaf ears because your violence has brought this resistance.
We have the right to fight back!
Rest in Power George Floyd”

So here we go again."Your violence has brought this resistance". So who exactly is "your"? The cop who did this? The occasional other cop who does this? The cops who also occasionally do this to white and other-colored people? The over-99 percent of cops who don't do this? Or the 99.99999 percent of white people in America who don't do this?

As long as people are 1) stupid; 2) addicted to outrage; 3) able to more easily make themselves famous through social media; and 4) stupid, this is just going to go on and on and on. Seriously, if three years passes before the next time something like this happens it would be like only three days passed according to attention whores like Kaepernick.

And for the record, I think that cop should sit in a jail cell for at least the next few decades along with the father/son dumbass duo who killed Ahmaud Arbury.

We discussed a bit on the M's forum.

Btw I think he should spend a decade for every minute he was kneeling on dudes neck. When Sean Hannity and Dan Bongino are ripping a cop. You know is Fucked.

Just amazing that this cop would do that with witnesses watching and filming, and that the other cops didn't stop him or even say, "Whoa, ease up on him". I mean, you can say that and still have his back. Just in and of itself it's a horrific act regardless of what color the victim is.

But getting back to that, it's like the words of the late George Carlin: "Think about how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half the people in the world are more stupid than that". Social media has blown that dirty secret right out of the water. I'm just amazed at the way so many people who make comments on social media actually think, and I'm not talking about the trolls but rather the many everyday folks who have no clue what they're even talking about. Not just the people who assume that every cop is like that, but the people at the other extreme too. You'll appreciate this zinger I got in on somebody, he posted "If he hadn't forged his signature he'd still be alive" to which I replied "And if your mom hadn't put a bag over her head you wouldn't be alive".

Social media has taught me, and I might be biased, that I am a 1 percenter in terms of IQ. lol

Just today a guy tweeted that he thought it was amazing that a baby born in 2020 would be able to see the year 3000 when he turned 80. I AM NOT FUCKING JOKING.

So I understand the anger...but let’s torch all the businesses in our crib doesn’t exactly solve anything

I worry about the people who did nothing.
One woman did say something. I just
don't think I could stand by and watch a
man die!
He tried to pass a fake $20 bill in a store.

Which leads to the question, how many of those people even really care about what happened? I would bet that at least 75 percent of them, and very possibly almost every single one of them, took part just for the enjoyment of creating mayhem. If they haven't looted already, that would be next, destroying the businesses and livelihoods of people just for the sake of it like they did in the Rodney King riots. And if course the media won't even make that speculation, they'll lead you to believe that the looters are fighting for civil rights.

And even though it's probably all black people, the herd mentality is color-blind. For example, look at how many white Germans were on board with The Third Reich and the slaughter of millions of other white people.

I don't even understand this.

I would like to think that I would have done something even if it got me arrested.
