Tucker Carlson is that you?! Lol you didn't address any of my points and just spouted out GOP talking points that are within the ballpark.
Just because their are some people that take advantage of protests as an opportunity to loot and vandalize doesn't devalue the protests. Since you have all the answers on how people should live their lives, how exactly should people influence society? I'm willing to bet you've just been ignoring those movements because you just don't agree with equity and inclusion.
One last question, when a corporation or political group does violence on society, what should the punishment be? (shouldn't it be the same punishment as if a individual does it?)
Lol make a point and I'll respond to it. What's crazy is the retards calling every point that doesn't agree with theirs "GOP". When everything to the right of your extreme bullshit is "GOP" you're going to find yourself real alone real fast.
Productive violence is not the same as protests. Protests are tantrums for attention that, in this SoCiEtY, is fast fleeting if not capitalized on quickly. What did the BLM riots achieve? Not a God damn thing. If anything it gave the actual GOP great footage of what the left does when they get angwy.
And no, a group is never a single entity, even corporations or political groups. Holding every member responsible for a murder that one person did isn't justice unless every single person knew and planned that act. Their participation and knowledge would be key factors in determining punishment and each member would be weighed differently irrespective of their group status.
I made several points. You just don't want to address them because you don't have a counter. You just don't want to think critically about protests so you just call them tantrums and riots. Once again their were no BLM riots. Not a thing. There were BLM protests, that were take advantage of by rioters. But BLM as an organization and as a movement never organized nor sanctioned/endorsed any riots. And I'm pretty sure the BLM/George Floyd protests changed policing for the better. Police in America are now all wearing body cameras and many areas set up independent boards who review cases of police misconduct. Just a bandaid to our broken justice system but better than what we had before.
So you believe corporations should be allowed to kill, injure, and destroy simply because they aren't individuals? Interesting. Just proves you may not like the label of GOP puppet but that's what you are. Sorry but you are that and everyone knows it. Don't worry, people with actual empathy compassion and knowledge of other people different than them are fighting for your emancipation as well. Have a good life. Goodbye forever.
