    Think we can save all the mumbling about a 'race war'. Literally half of these individuals are young and white and there are no Reginal Dennys being yanked from their trucks. Protest-riot has morphed. Whats stuck is the mass and social media coverage still parroting the 'old divisions' and the worst aspects of revolt and boiling aftermath and rage down to race.

    Have a feeling outside politics are well entrenched in this by now and local officials are second guessing every move.

    It's an example of traditional newsroom 'media' being secondary for so long now. That's why I find it funny when we're still beefing over old guard networks while every single individual with a phone, an account and cause can go viral instantly.

    Sure as with anything things can be set up, fake news etc etc. But sometimes things are in fact exactly how they are witnessed.

    I don't know about no race war..... but I know it's a sad day when even the news we see with our own eyes are subjected to the cries of Fake News, conspiracies, and other such B.S.

    Seems humans have developed this hyper-need for mystery (cue suspense music), as just plain in-your-face news are just too damn boring.

    Maybe Floyd was actually an advanced hologram deployed in the middle of the street and never really happened.

    Agreed there. Over active imaginations and lack of hobbies maybe who knows. Spend enough time inventing boogeymen then you for sure will miss what's happening right in front of your face. Oddly enough beginning to think that every time I hear deep state blah blah too .

    you see it on tv, that is not proof. the guy could be dead, might not be, we don't know. lots of it seemed staged. i prefer to know the truth rather than just believe. it achieved it's goal
