    dont be a gump
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protests_in_the_United_States_by_size

    I will say - to your previous pleating about going to rallies or whatever - you will note little change resulted from most of these protests or riots even. what happened after Rodney King? Chronic and OJ's acquittal?

    no im just not obtuse or rigid lol. i pay taxes and own property i have a job! nuance comes from life experience, not online debates lmao

    i know you quoted me here - but did you mean to? i was asking about the organizers, the leaders, the deliberate structure behind the burning of the Arbys u used to skateboard at
    im not though. stop projecting other conflicts in ur life onto me. im going to start charging u an hourly rate.

    b*tch you dont get to CLAIM mlps when its convenient, then snidely shift to claiming LA as it suites your ideological interests. pick a turf.

    Here's what squishy about your line of thinking. He's been arrested. good! I predicted he would. you cynically "doubted it" based on your bs impressions lol. BUT BUT you give yourself a rhetorical out -- IF HE IS, its supposedly bc of the burning of the city, not the process working itself out. do u not see a conflict there? or does everything alwaysssssssssssssss reenforce your worldview

    are you actually using the women's march as an example of a protest with any teeth? my god man :emoji_cry:'''''''''''''''''''''(
    the watts riots actually did improve la policing during the '70s, until crack
    it's adorable that you keep telling me how nuanced you are!!!!!!!!!! so please, please do the thing i've been begging of you: tell me how the protesters in minneapolis "should" have acted. that's all i want!
    .....................................what? the actions were intentional, were deliberate, were organized. ur spinning ur wheels here old man!!
    andy this is literally, exactly what you're doing lol. you're latching onto whatever images you want to project your own moral enlightenment and ~nuance~ to the world, while still not telling me/anyone how they could have responded and also lived up to your surely estimable code of conduct.
    stripping you of your orioles fandom for posting about boston

    are you finished editing or would you like me to link you with someone to give it a good once-over?

    do you truly believe that without the combination of the video and protests he would have been arrested?

    Just remember. His arrest was coming regardless. This is in no way evidence that violent protest work.

    thought I read the charges are still pending

    Have a strong feeling he'll end up acquitted and free but this is a start

    looting and rioting are a profound way of protest against a system that values goods and services over human lives.

    Most concise way I've seen this put so far and is further proven by all the people speaking out against the looting of Target before the murder of a human being.

    MN doesn't have the death penalty so life w/o parole I believe.

    1. you don't know that
    2. that's still not the point of protests, there would be protests even if he was in custody immediately
