You’re right, no way this could be perceived As systemic racism. Get back
in your homes.......America’s got your back....This time we promise. Ffs why is empathy and even an attempt to look at things through someone else’s eyes so hard? Especially for the dudes quoting scripture. Do you think your version of god would be ok with this? Crazy times man, crazy times.

I witnessed this first hand. The African American woman’s perception was that she was being singled out for her race. Was she right?

Sometime within the last year I was deadheading on a flight. As we were taxiing out for departure an African American woman was refusing to stow her very large carry on bag in an overhead bin, it was too large to fit under the seat. The discussion between the FA and the woman went on for about two minutes. The African American woman accused the flight attendant of being racist for insisting she stow her bag in the overhead bin.

The Kenosha shooter will not be convicted of the crimes alleged. This was Self defense. The legal team of the kid have all the evidence they need. What will happen is many news outlets are going to be sued for defamation - again - by Lin Wood.
Since this is politics thread....President Trump is absolutely on the proper side of this. Biden and his campaign are not (just wait for the Trump campaign to drag up ole Joes racial comments from the 80's and 90's as a congressman and senator) The internal polling on this is disastrous for the DNC right now. That's why they wheeled ole Joe out the other day to babble on about it.
As always we all get one vote (unless you're dead, then you magically are able to vote multiple times, in several states for the democrat). Let's see how this plays out.

we will see what happens to the shooter...it’s all speculation at this point. But just to be clear....are you cool with a leader that gives a pass to teenagers or any civilians walking into violent situations with military assault rifles? Is that a good policy for the country? Wouldn’t it be more responsible to discourage that behavior?
Kinda like saying this is an original Shelby Cobra...

They threw him out did they not? Timeline not really relevant. So what? if it happened in April or September, whatever. Forest thru the trees. Don't lose sight of what is being said.
You never heard of Rep DeBarry until I brought it up here. See, you learned something today.

Do you honestly (lol) think that being a liar is unimportant? What else are you willing to lie about, and how far are you willing to take it?
Do you honestly think that you're helping your arguments when you present yourself as someone with such low moral character?

No, but then again all adults know this already. What exactly does this have to do with justifying a sheriff in uniform making the afore mentioned comments? Please explain this clearly so that you can be the first person ever in the history of the world to successfully make the case that 2 wrongs make a right.
I shared my story to illustrate a point. Perception is not reality. You watched the news conference and perceived racism, that doesn’t mean it existed and it does not prove he made a racist statement. He was careful to state, all races. You’re just not believing him. Just like the woman on the jet, she perceived racism, doesn’t mean it existed. Follow that parallel??

Are you OK with convicts possessing firearms - breaking the law?
What is this scary military assault rifle you speak? You going to turn and deflect this into a 2A debate now?
rain stopped, I can go work on the boat now. After that, clean my scary assault rifle from the shooting range yesterday.
