    You don't need to duck to dance.

    In fact, in Britain it's considered essential not to, lest you conjure up this little fucker:

    Yes, we get it, the wrong type of people are protesting right now so you're suddenly against it.

    Like how fucking blinkered do you have to be to come into a thread which probably has hundreds of videos that show peaceful protesters and police brutality, post a single video that supports your view and smugly say that videos don't lie.

    It still implies time travel. All good k-drama has that.

    You got a dumbrep from Marso.
    That means he doesn't have you on ignore.
    That means I'm more objectionable to him than you are somehow.
    And you just called him a Nazi.
    How does that brain of his even work?
    Is it even electronic?
    Maybe it's pneumatic.

    Now I can't get the image out of my mind of Marso's head rattling away like a pressure cooker.

    You no longer stand by this then?

    Because since you posted that we've seen a few posts with you posting videos like yours, but unless I've missed them (and I'm very happy to be corrected if I have) you seem very silent on all the examples of police being violent.

    Perhaps it's a question of percentages. Videos showing far right violence and police brutality are far more commonplace, not because of some agenda but simply because they are more frequent events, yet you seem to focus more on the minority and disregard the majority.

    It would if I lived on Mars and had no empathy for those silly bipedal Earthlings.

    More violence:

    In an abstract sense yes, but the fact remains that tiny dot represents all we have and very possibly ever will have.

    I really, truly hope these protests bring real, meaningful, and lasting change to the American social and political systems. Stupid as it sounds, it really does make me cry to see so many people finally coming forward demanding an end to the abominations that have been perpetrated on the black community.
