kinda makes the months of social distancing a waste when people are gathering in the 1000's. I guess we'll be reaching herd immunity faster than planned.
I'm definitely buying a gun in the following months. I heard gunshots on a weekly basis before this....
The problem is I can't think of myself ever being able to use it. White male with a gun is a lose-lose regardless of the situation.

I almost got stabbed by a meth head in a 7/11 parking lot, my gun saved me even though it was unloaded

Supposed to be a protest by my local court house today actually organized by some out-of-Towners from Sacramento area (not actually 100% on their origin) who are looking to “wake up” the “sleepy” communities in my county (which lean more conservatives and/or are largely white and middle class.)
We’ll see. Been a number of peaceful protestors at the court house in recent years but never more than a dozen.
Information was given to me by a trump supporter
who is otherwise a reliable source.
Anyway I’m glad people are exercising their rights.
I hope the looters don’t discredit this movement.
I’m about 40 minutes by interstate from Sacramento, apparently it’s getting a bit wild down there though not to the degree in other places.

Someone just messaged me that I better make sure my “AR is ready” and that a group of 270 Black Lives Matter members were in town and that they had been going “door to door” in neighborhoods in Reno earlier in the week.
I guess I’m part of the problem when I only reply “lol” and offer practical advice such as lock your door.
I think on this persons part it’s a fear based response. These riots are scary. But I can’t help but feel the fear a lot of people are having is making them oblivious to the reason the actual protestors came out in the first place.
There is no doubt the most dangerous gang in America is the Police. Been saying it for years, though I’ve had the luxury of knowing that If I didn’t resist arrest (if I ever was arrested) that I’d be fine. I guess that’s privilege. I’m sounding like Lonesage at this point, heart on my sleeve.
FML.
Anyone else seeing different behavior from people they thought they knew?
Edit: the Ar has been ready, but in true tin-foil fashion, it’s ready for the alphabet boys
Maybe tonight I’ll read Technological Slavery while the world burns.

What is sad is that if there isn't a real willingness for change amongst policy makers, this will just be another chapter in outrage amongst the masses. And it'll die down, and in some years time it'll happen all over again. Hate to be so cynical

I can understand why Obama didn't want to be 'the black president', but looking back maybe tough shit he should have been.

Where are all the members that voted for drumpf because he was "the lesser of 2 evils" and that he'd "shake things up"?

Straight up primal imagery, might as well paint him coming down from Mt. Sinai.

I read this and immediately wondered what the Tank Man picture equivalent will look. Army has been brought in in DC.

"These are not acts of peaceful protests. These are acts of domestic terror. The destruction of innocent life, and the spilling of innocent blood, is an offense to humanity and a crime against God," Trump said.
He added: "Our country always wins. That is why I am taking immediate presidential action to stop the violence."
Learn how to google stuff. I’m not here to hold your hand.
