The George Floyd Protests (Ongoing)

[Benoit's Weight Machine]

Its ironic that CNN had some windows busted out and such last night in Atlanta. Considering that they're one of the main news sources that have been pushing this in recent years. I was called twice last night by my civilian employer to come into work even though I'm all the way out in Texas right now. I won't post anything publicly but this is really hitting home right now. The shit people are posting on Facebook is ridiculous and I have even called a few of them about the shit telling them what I thought of the nonsense they were saying. I used to say that the ignorance of people doesn't shock me, but today I can't say that.

I think more people see through the bullshit than they are given credit for. The people are just fed up with the media. The facebook postings are ridiculous. I'm seeing a lot of baiting and attempts to start arguments. Honestly I don't think anyone condones what the cop did and I think 99% of the public are in agreement on this so I don't understand why these social justice warriors have such a chip on their shoulder and are trying to lash out at other people.

I've got to thinking. Since there are protests around the country, there's a great possibility that some protesters have coronavirus and not wearing a mask. Therefore, some people will likely get it.

Large gatherings are not recommended by the CDC

Welp, the hackers organizations is back and 3rd time my City of Orlando got a fire started on third street.

National Guard have taken back the state Capitol building, and are slowly regaining order in the city.

The curfew has reportedly become strictly enforced, and it's only a matter of time before violence strikes the city again.

Meanwhile, Nashville just had their historic courthouse and city hall burned down by protestors. A piece of American History up in smoke and for what?

I don’t like one thing I saw with the curfew. People was on their own front porch and got tear gas shot at them. The law their allows you on your own property even with a curfew.

Like I mentioned, Minneapolis has become a war zone, and the police, Guard, and troopers are taking extreme measures to get the city back under control.

Anybody is liable to be hurt. The only thing citizens can do right now is STAY AWAY from major districts and keep to their local neighborhoods until the city can finally come back under control.

The State Troopers and National Guard have also closed off all major interstates. Escape from the city has become more difficult with the interstates out of commission.

Well I mean the ones on their front porch was in their local neighborhood. You can’t force people to go inside on their own front porch. That’s a little to extreme.

Where was that happening at? I'm locked down on a base and don't have access to TV. I also took a day off from Social Media and the news.

I was wrong on saying it was tear gas. But here ya go man.

Ok, I just started watching some stuff on this and listening to some stuff now. Not saying I agree or disagree with the tactics. However, I people are acting stupid, destroying stuff, and hurting innocent people, so what did they expect to happen? Now people are starting to do this shit in London and Berlin? Guess COVID magically went away? Just shows the hive mind mentality that people have.

"Look at me! I'm a part of something!"

China and Russia are loving this right now.

Don't say this word around here. It brings us bad memories haha.

But see, if you look here https://dps.mn.gov/macc/Pages/faq.aspx it states, they are allowed outside on their property. So, doing something unlawful, when people are already pissed off might not be the best idea, and could make things worse. These people are not out causing trouble. They need to be in town, getting people who are not following any of the rules of this curfew. Get the idiots who are rioting, not just at home.

Agreed. I'm seeing reports that people are being brought in from outside locations to riot. I've personally seen that occur with stuff that happened in Newnan and Atlanta in the past. Makes me wonder if some conspiracies have some weight behind them.

Yeah, someone clearly doesn't want us all to get along. They saw how united people was for a change over this as well, and they wanted to cause problems to divide us again.

One of the guys at my work had his position removed because it “was no longer needed”. He was a higher up, so, he let us in on all the secrets after he was let go. The basics was that the managers and other higher ups like when there is friction on the floor, they WANT employees to not like each other because if we all got along, it would be an army vs the few of them if shit hits the fan. Creating division ensures that not everyone will work together and go against management. This shit reminds me of that. If everyone just got along, governments wouldn’t be able to take advantage of situations. The media would hardly have anything to report. There wouldn’t be excuses to do things like raise taxes. After all this destruction is finally over, guess who’s paying for the clean up? Don’t be shocked if taxes blow up, the money has to come from somewhere. They just broke the bank with coronavirus shit, they don’t have the funds to just toss out there and fix all of America.

Have fun.
