** 12-Sep-2020 World View: Criminal matters
I don't know anyone (personally or on tv or online) who is anything
but appalled and sickened by the death of George Floyd at the hands of
a white policeman. There may be some variation between those who see
the death as an accident versus those who say that he did it on
purpose, but I've never heard anyone who thinks that it "promotes
lawful behavior by people like the victims." Everyone I know condemns
the death and agrees that something must be done, though exactly what
must be done varies from person to person. In particular, almost
everyone says that the death must be investigated, and that Derek
Chauvin should be criminally punished if the act was intentional.
What appalls me is that antifa-blm thugs across the country are
committing numerous crimes -- assault, looting, burning down
buildings, etc. -- crimes that are CLEARLY intentional and criminal
and not accidental, and people like you refuse to condemn them, and
refuse to demand that the perpetrators should be criminally punished.
You in particular will post multiple paragraphs of sophistry nonsense,
but the bottom line is that you refuse to demand that intentional
crimes by antifa-blm criminals should be published, whereas I and
everyone I know will happily demand that any intentional crimes by a
policeman should be punished.
In the case of black lives matter, there are a lot of people in the
blm movement who are really pissed off that a "good cause" like ending
racism is being hijacked by fascist thugs and criminals that you and
other Democrats refuse to fully condemn.
