M.O.B. Votes:

was wrongly killed by the police or if I had been subjected to ongoing injustice. I would be angry. I would fight back hard. I would push extremely hard to right the wrong and hold people to account.

Here is what I most certainly would never do. I would not burn down the businesses of those who had nothing to do with it. I would not steal from those who had nothing to do with it. I would not randomly destroy property to damage my neighborhood and community.

So I hope the person who asked such a stupid question can grasp a rational answer. Feelings are wonderful. Feelings are not justification for self-defeating and illegal behaviors.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

I was asked last night how I would feel if a family member - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 08:39:59

I don't believe that's Mr. Floyd's family doing that. (nm) - ummmm MU - 5/28 09:05:11

And that only made the question even more stupid - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:07:13

Destruction of property is despicable, agreed.(nm) - raskolnikov MU - 5/28 09:03:34

PROPERTY RIGHTS...cue The Idiot. Nm - hokie VT - 5/28 09:06:19

Glad you agree - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:06:00

And so far NOTHING has been done - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:08:48

How do you know this? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:12:10

They have enough evidence to arrest them - ashtray UF - 5/28 09:15:03

How have they been restricted? - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:14:58

Well, here's the truth - mizzoumurfkc KC - 5/28 08:56:25

Why aren't they fed up with killing each other or - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

RE: Why aren't they fed up with killing each other or - mizzoumurfkc KC - 5/28 09:34:16

Ahh gotcha, but their ok with gang bangers killing them - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/28 09:39:56

No! - mizzoumurfkc KC - 5/28 09:56:06

lol you need to take a look at the arrest/conviction rate - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/28 10:27:49

How do you know they aren't? (nm) - ashtray UF - 5/28 09:21:48

I didn't see any rioting or looting in Chiraq last weekend - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 5/28 09:25:11

So rioting is the only way to show you're fed up? - ashtray UF - 5/28 09:26:35

Two things - raskolnikov MU - 5/28 09:05:26

It isn't two separate issues (nm) - ashtray UF - 5/28 09:06:06

Of coures they are separate events - the first obviously the - raskolnikov MU - 5/28 09:09:07

Just STFU - mizzoumurfkc KC - 5/28 09:12:09

Lol, you just contradicted yourself (nm) - ashtray UF - 5/28 09:10:20

No sir, sorry. - raskolnikov MU - 5/28 09:19:35

Now you're flailing - ashtray UF - 5/28 09:20:42

You lost the debate friend. That is all(nm) - raskolnikov MU - 5/28 09:42:22

no, you did and then lied again - ashtray UF - 5/28 09:44:15

There are many more killings that happen much more - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:00:41

State versus individual. It’s been explained over and over (nm) - pickle MU

- 5/28 09:40:00

COPS torture and kill a man in broad daylight with concerned - raskolnikov MU - 5/28 09:07:44

The people are responding with urban violence against those - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:12:56

What are you talking about ? (nm) - raskolnikov MU - 5/28 10:21:06

Yes 4tigs...and those killings are - mizzoumurfkc KC - 5/28 09:06:59

I can’t imagine why they would protest these over others - El-ahrairah BAMA - 5/28 09:06:43

lol, WHAT ABOUT these killings over here - MrBlueSky MU - 5/28 09:02:18

Both are wrong. One happens much more than the other - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:04:22

That's a typical stoopid effing question from cons... - mizzoumurfkc KC - 5/28 09:11:15

Why in one case do the destroy the property of those who - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:13:38

This has been explained tp you over and over and over - mizzoumurfkc KC - 5/28 09:26:55

I do, and as I have said all along I understand the anger - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:28:34

How can you say that you understand the anger - kmawv8 MU - 5/28 09:35:30

I asked that question because I was told the lawless - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:37:18

Of course the lawless behavior was a reaction to a member - kmawv8 MU - 5/28 09:41:57

I asked the question only as a response to the justification - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:43:04

I asked..simply..what you would do - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:46:53

I cannot say for sure what I would do without knowing the - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:52:35

Nobody justified anything. That only happened in your head. - kmawv8 MU - 5/28 09:45:04

The thread is there - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:54:00

state vs individuals (nm) - ashtray UF - 5/28 09:16:04

So since I am mad at the state - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:21:16

No, that's just you being confused - ashtray UF - 5/28 09:22:21

That is the only thing I criticized - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:24:25

Most people have responded to your question about t - kmawv8 MU - 5/28 09:29:58

I only asked that question because someone attempted - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:36:03

I never justified what they did - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:38:08

Then when I said I understand why they are angry but don't - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:39:22

And then you are very vague in your answering - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:41:32

And if I got to that point, I would more than likely point - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:44:26

The difference being - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:51:36

I answered your question - ashtray UF - 5/28 09:27:53

Surely you know the difference - MrBlueSky MU - 5/28 09:08:23

State vs individual - kmawv8 MU - 5/28 09:07:05

So if there anguish is with the state - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:08:08

That's a different topic. I don't agree with what they did. - kmawv8 MU - 5/28 09:10:26

It is typical con logic ... they move they topic to - mizzoumurfkc KC - 5/28 09:21:40

No, I have been completely consistent - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:11:09

No, you were challenged because you gave a - kmawv8 MU - 5/28 09:14:50

I said I would not burn down or steal from those who had - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:16:28

I would fight hard. - kmawv8 MU - 5/28 09:18:08

No - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:21:46

So the amount of things you wouldn't do is still growing - kmawv8 MU - 5/28 09:25:27

I would push for justice - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:25:55

Lmfao (nm) - pickle MU

- 5/28 09:42:19

And if nothing was done? - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:27:25

What percentage of the rioters had a family member - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:29:43

Extend family member - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:32:32

You have been everywhere and at the same time nowhere - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:38:25

RE: You have been everywhere and at the same time nowhere - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:40:06

And that is what I have been saying all along - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:41:50

Although you said you would "fight back hard"(nm) - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:17:45

That was not the challenge(nm) - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:13:21

Here was the post the led to your questions - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:15:19

it was an attempt to understand - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:17:01

If I take you at your word, it makes you appear dense - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:20:46

and there it is - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:01:49

Asking about consistency is not changing the subject (nm) - mizzouSECedes STL - 5/28 09:04:22

I am not changing the subject - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:03:39

Because one type of killing is taxpayer incentivized - El-ahrairah BAMA - 5/28 09:10:18

So since it is, should you go burn down the butcher shop - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:17:03

No. You should direct your anger at those responsible(nm) - El-ahrairah BAMA - 5/28 09:19:19

Indeed(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:22:12

Yes you are - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:06:58

So if members of your community butcher one another - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:09:26

RE: So if members of your community butcher one another - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:10:37

I never attacked the general reaction - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:22:54

the state vs individuals - ashtray UF - 5/28 09:04:48

So if you are angry at the state - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:06:47

Irrelevant - ashtray UF - 5/28 09:12:20

What does that have to do with subjective reaction? - kmawv8 MU - 5/28 09:09:11

No, look at the OP - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:10:27

I was not asking you to justify the actions - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:12:21

I never criticized their emotions, only their actions - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:23:32

what does "fight back hard" mean?(nm) - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:24:10

Demand investigation and charges against the officers - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:25:14

That has been done for decades - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:28:44

So you are looking for all illegality to stop? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/28 09:40:49

RE: So you are looking for all illegality to stop? - meatiger MU - 5/28 09:43:18

BS. - kmawv8 MU - 5/28 09:11:35

At least the hypocrisy is accepted (nm) - mizzouSECedes STL - 5/28 09:06:41

He knows. It's just a convenient way to disregard - kmawv8 MU - 5/28 09:05:53

....so their actions are justified? And if they are angry - hokie VT - 5/28 09:00:13

the truth: Are they fed up yet over killings in Chicago and - BH O'bonga MU - 5/28 08:59:56

But just these killings, right? (nm) - MIZ45 MU - 5/28 08:59:37
