If you don't understand what being black in America is like relative to interactions with law enforcement, and it appears a few here do not, here is a fantastic essay to read. It's long, please read every word.

Ever been to Detroit? The place is a shithole. There are areas that are still burned out since the riots in the 60's. Nobody will reinvest in an area that the residents torch everytime they get pissed off. Benton Harbor? Same deal. Flint? ditto.... And the funny part? The same geniuses that burned down the neighborhood will then complain that their neighborhood is shunned by corporate America... . Even McDonalds knows to stay out of battlezones...

Having participated in a few, I can attest that some riots are very carefully planned and sensibly organized. I defended you when you were misquoted, please have the decency to not misquote me in return. I never said ‘sensible riot’ - I said riots can be ‘sensibly organized’. That’s a big difference. No, I’ve never been to the places you mentioned, but I was an undergrad in Belfast in the late 80s/early 90s. I’m familiar with riots and I don’t approve of them. Boru

Sorry. I don't buy it.
I can't see how a riot can be "sensably organized". You might as well plan well mannered mayhem. RE: US police brutality item

Group A sets a few car fires, while Group B are standing by to attack the peelers when they show up (bring your own rocks - petrol bombs are provided). This keeps the cops tied up while Groups C through F are smashing storefronts and nicking stuff. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Boru

My son-in-law is taking my granddaughter and a friend to what is supposed to be an organized protest in Dallas tonight.
I am scared shitless for their safety. Friday night, people are already batshit over the quarantine, now this...I don't have a good feeling about this at all. ![[Image: MmQV79M.png]](https://i.imgur.com/MmQV79M.png) (May 29, 2020 at 2:20 pm)BrianSoddingBoru4 Wrote:(May 29, 2020 at 1:56 pm)onlinebiker Wrote: Sorry.

It makes little sense to be critical of riots if we're going to turn a blind eye to their causes.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
