Violence in the USA

[Carlin]

Minneapolis Police fires on MSNBC and CBS News crews with rubber bullets. No protesters anywhere near them.

REAL bullets in St Paul.

If these were Chinese or Russian police, the world would be losing its shit and calling for emergency UN meetings.

Meanwhile, National guard and Minneapolis PD sweeping residential street. Shooting paint canisters at people on their own front porches.

I hope you are right.

3rd degree charge is a slap on the wrist. Imagine the mayhem if he is acquitted, or if others are not charged.

Not sure what news to follow anymore tonight. Many demonstrations tonight due to the fact that it was only a 3rd degree charge.

Up to 200 demonstrators have been arrested in Brooklyn.

Georgia has called in NATIONAL GUARD after protests in Atlanta descend into chaos.

A man has reportedly been shot in the face by riot police in Minneapolis. Minneapolis 5th precinct surrounded by protesters. Air National Guard has a blackhawk overhead. Pentagon on alert to go to Minneapolis, if required. 350 troops are swarming in on Minneapolis in the 5th precinct area clearing the streets and making way for the national guard.

PS:

1st degree murder: premeditated/planned, 2nd degree murder: intentional but not planned, 3rd degree: an “accident”.

It would be difficult to get a conviction on 2nd degree impossible on 1st degree. I doubt he intended to kill him so 3rd degree is probably about right. I think charging the other 3 officers with accessory charges would be an eve bigger statement than charging the main culprit with a higher offense. As officers they watched someone commit 3rd degree murder, they could have intervened but didn't.

I would keep an eye on the southern states, I could see the police using violent force in some of those states. Anything can happen, all it takes is for one person to jump the gun and things can snowball quickly.

I feel like we may witness a massacre in a couple of days. The authorities won't hesitate to use lethal force.

Minneapolis earlier today:

I dont think so. They haven't used lethal force so far and I dont think it would be tolerated by American society, nor do I believe police would resort to lethal force against protesters.

In Minneapolis they tried to disperse protesters with tear gas and hold a line but after about 30 minutes they abandoned their positions and basically gave up on enforcing a curfew.

They also charged the cop with 3rd degree murder and will probably charge the other cops with something like negligent homicide or accessory to murder.

Add Atlanta, Georgia to the list.

Protests turned chaotic in downtown Atlanta tonight, with some demonstrators defacing the CNN headquarters and others smashing police vehicles. Protesters threw objects at the CNN building while chanting “no more police” and “fuck CNN”.

White House is under lockdown orders from the U.S. Secret Service.

What a shit show it all is. If Macedonia wasn't a third world shit hole itself I'd move back in a heartbeat.

Police constantly abuse their authority and are way to aggressive in my opinion. I don't like it when people commit crimes, but it doesn't mean they deserve to die either. I don't care what anyone says, you don't need to have your knee on the back of someones neck for 9 minutes, while 3 other officers stand around and watch. He probably slowly broke the guys neck, suffocating or paralyzing him or both in the process. The cop should go to jail period.

[Karposh]

I don't know, sequels are just so overrated if you ask me...I still prefer the LA riots from 1992. The classics are always the best.

[Carlin]

Massive fires in Minneapolis amid riots. Multiple police stations are burning as 5 precincts have been abandoned.

Protests have erupted in other US cities last night. Seven critical injuries reported as police fired live rounds into the crowd of protesters in Louisville, Kentucky.

Dude, thanks for the laugh. I almost fell of my chair laughing reading the last sentence. I need to choose my favourite taverna now and try their coffee. I tried 'Lebanese' coffee a couple of months ago in a mediterranean restaurant, and was at a loss to distinguish it from 'Greek', or 'Srpska' coffee...

Yeah dude, glad you had a good laugh...just be mindful of promoting 'greek' myths on Macedonian websites when you're finished having a good chuckle...

[Carlin]

Carlin15...really, do we need to perpetuate this "greek-town" shit...Danforth alone would've been clear enough...I know you may have your quaint little monikers for these places but why do you need to shove it down our throats here as well...those cunts don't even recognise us as part of the human race and yet you're reinforcing this rubbish that affords them credibility and status...have a good think about it over your next 'greek' coffee in your favourite 'greek' taverna in Danforth that's probably operated by some self loathing grkoman motherfucker.

On a more serious and sad note, the deceased victims of the shooting are two girls, aged 18 and 10.

The Special Investigations Unit identified the gunman as 29-year-old Faisal Hussain of Toronto. His family said in a statement Monday that he suffered from severe mental health challenges, including depression and psychosis.

My God, now I begin to worry for my (tall) sons!

Don't worry about your tall sons mate...they clearly take after their mum.

BTW...I have met one of Risto's (tall) boys and he is a good lad, an impressive young man...nothing like stario...

[Risto the Great]

Being tall is overrated. They are slow, clumsy, always hitting their heads on shit which makes them a bit dumber. They all end up with knee, back or both problems. They don't live as long. They can't fight for shit, they always lean on the fact that they are big, so they never really need to fight anyone.

My God, now I begin to worry for my (tall) sons!

But I like to think Phoenix would be dumb at any height.

[Gocka]

Lol chin up, I'm 5'9", Phoenix must be an ogre if 5'10" is short to him haha.

Just move around a lot and aim for the knees. or so I've heard.

You make me sound like a leprechaun!
We need to have a talk.
If only I could understand you with that bullshit country Victorian drawl.

5'10" for the benefit of posterity da ti ebam ... and I have dropped bigger piles of shit than you! And that's just your old girlfriends!
