The Answer
 
Had law enforcement acted swiftly and detained all of the police officers involved in this latest incident that resulted in the killing of George Floyd, there would not have been the protest and violence and destruction of property we are witnessing. Inaction created an environment of frustration and desperation and provided cover for those determined to hide among the protesters to sow chaos......heart breaking.....

This mornings NY Times, which chronicles US intelligence on Russian involvement in stoking unrest in our country using race, ties to white supremacist groups and their efforts to suppress voting.

And at the same time, breaking news is USA has arbitrarily invited Russia back to the G7.
Are we sure the Chinese are also not involved? It would make sense given the current accusations. They like to work behind the scenes.

Rioters are not protestors. Why is this so hard to understand?

I feel so bad for all this chaos. I really hope the murderer and his police accomplices get their asses put into jail for a long time. Minorities have had such injustice to deal with for so many generations. I hope minorities keep videoing the a..holes and get them to pay the price. When people feel the law and justice doesn't apply to them, crap will happen, big time. We need justice and a fair share of societal rights for all, otherwise anger will continue to lead to chaos and rioting.

You just do not get it. The posters here have identified them ALL, not by name, but certainly by ethnicity and ethics. Well, in some cases by leaders names and some groups, and they know

But not to worry.....while most of this is to divide us, our government is going to bring us together....they are identifying my p party those who they think are not tough enough, and avoiding any mention of anyone else.

Never saw this ploy used to bring a country together but we will see.....everyone decries the senseless looting, but now it appears we are on the verge of identyfying them, inteligence reports be damne

Totally dude (or dudette!)

This is why America has more immigrants including millions of minorities every year than any other country.

They just can't wait to get beat up by our police and oppressed by our totally unjust economic system.

Millions of minorities come to America, but very few of them seem to want to live in The Villages. Just curious as to the history or reason for this.

YES!

One can only hope this catches on, as it is one of the main things that could go toward...fair and equal justice.

In Some Cities, Police Officers Joined Protesters Marching Against Brutality

Quote:
As protests sparked by George Floyd’s death entered their chaotic fifth day, social media filled with images and video of police officers using batons, tear gas and rubber bullets to quell crowds⁠—but some squads joined in with Saturday protesters to express their stance against police brutality, and to show solidarity with the anti-racism movement.

“We want to be with y’all, for real. I took my helmet off, laid the batons down. I want to make this a parade, not a protest,” Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson was seen telling protesters in Flint, Michigan, before he joined the assembled crowd to march, eliciting cheers.

Officers in Camden, New Jersey, helped carry a banner reading “Standing in Solidarity,” and seemed to join in with the crowd chanting “no justice, no peace.”

In Santa Cruz, California, Police Chief Andy Mills took a knee with protesters in the pose made famous by Colin Kaepernick, with the department tweeting it was “in memory of George Floyd & bringing attention to police violence against Black people.”

Two Kansas City, Missouri, police officers⁠—one white man, one black man⁠—were photographed holding aloft a sign reading “end police brutality.”

ABC preempted all shows last night, with feeds from all the major cities. Wonder what they were .........................

There have been consequences for their actions. One was charged with 3d degree murder, all were fired and the fat lady hasn't finished singing yet on the fate of the other officers. There is a thing called due process.

What very wealthy individual is actively paying members of Anti-Fa and BLM? I will let you do the necessary research to find that name of the billionaire that has residences all over the world and is most likely living in Katonah, NY at this time.
There definitely is someone behind this rioting and the FBI needs to turn the dogs loose and find out who it is. There have been people killed in these riots and the organizers should be charged with murder.

I haven't seen any signs that say minorities are not allowed in TV, there are minority realtors selling the homes here. I've not seen any Klan cross burnings in TV. I haven't seen any villagers with signs at the entrances to TV saying minorities aren't welcome. I've seen minorities living in TV, in fact one of my neighbors is black. I seriously doubt that very many people said "Let move to TV because there aren't any of those pesky dark people living there". How would a prospective villages buyer even know how many minorities lived here? :ohdear:

Then they always add their commentary, these protests are in retaliation for police brutality that has been going on for years. Really, for years and you know this how?

Susan Hendricks, mindless people on TV.

Besides hearing the snide comments on such from lots of people I've played golf with, all you have to also do is to read the posts....from many people here.

Recognizing that you have to read between the lines and what they never say or support, because most of them are too chicken to just come right out and say...what intelligent people can readily read & understand of them.

You can also identify a lot of them...from their empty protestations of being labeled such.

But as so accurately stated in a now deleted post (paraphrasing) - "you who support blacks and their oppression, should shut up and just let how the majority of Villagers feel...only post." :ohdear:
And yet you live here. Because you moved here for the golf. You protest... call out... everyone for their views. In fact, you point to people who you golf with that have negative views. And... yet... you live here. Because you moved here for the golf.

Hoping you will read the post right after that concerning the news this morning. (post 155)

As long as we IGNORE that kind of thing, and look for our old demons, we are playing the game just like they want us to.

As serious and as bad as the looting is, we should look for the cause as we punish those responsible, we need to find out what is the spark and we simply do not seem capable of doing that. We KNOW what it is.....it has been proven over time yet we ignore it.

The Times article I reference is not new news......it is simply ignored news and it is not what is called fake hearings in both the House AND the Senate establish this fact, yet we choose to ignore it and simply go on with our usual demons, which is how we have been "programmed"

Obviously you are in that camp, as reading your new posts on another thread, you find it better to mock and jeer instead of face our problem.
I watch the animal planet on tv everyday -- and they consistently say -- you can take the animals out of the jungle -- but you cannot take the jungle out of the animals
I feel like I am NOW LIVING IN ANIMAL PLANET -- and that is my real feelings which I am entitled to have -- so no comments from the peanut gallery are necessary

Yes. But these "protests", I mean riots, have nothing to do with police brutality. That is simply an excuse to party, steal, and finding a lawyer with no ethical standards to steal money though the courts. .

It is great to see that you have the answer. How do you know it would work? We have laws in this country that don't only apply to the bad guys.

Protest march at 4pm yesterday in our small town of Kilmarnock, 60 miles from Richmond. Scary for our local farmers and watermen.

Town closed all businesses at 11 am for this. The town has been closed for 2 months because of the virus now shut down for this. So far no damage, but why disrupt a quiet town.

zonerboy 06-01-2020 09:25 AM
Thank you protestors. You have provided a massive test as to whether or not covid prevention measures are effective or not. We can just wait to see if infection rates peak among those involved in the protests and related activities. There was definitely no social distancing and many were not wearing masks.if there is no peak, we should dispense with all the silliness and just unlock completely.

I'm very surprised the moderator hasn't suspended your posting privileges for your complete domination of threads, many could be classified as political threads which are not allowed. Essentially you display a TROLL like behavior which should never be tolerated on these boards. This message board before you arrived centered about discussion of life in The Villages, and I would like to see them return to that.

I am making a formal request to the moderator of this board, that this poster Cold No More be suspended until further notice. If you a need a petition I will start one.

Question is for CNM , so will allow him to respond, but..

Why do you enable hate and racists on this forum. This forum has rules.....but....it appears hate is a stronger motivator.

I always found hating simply took a lot time away from meeting new people and learning.

Depends on what you want, I suppose.
