Why does he feel it necessary to live in a gated community? I don't think we have to work very hard to understand.

Why does he cheer on the rioters when they are burning down a building in their own neighborhood, an affordable housing building, and then get all law and order when they come to his gated community? "Get these animals TF out of my neighborhood. Go back to where you live"

Quite the turnabout no?

Is that true? I'm always a bit skeptical when memes like this show up. I need to do a little more research. Believe it or not a few here would think I don't like the truth.

Yes its true, he has now deleted the "burn it all down" tweet but the internet is forever.

Given that you made a mistake in identification, I think you would be wise to delete the entire discussion at once.

I am not to sure how this thread is relevant to totv. I don't think we need to fuel the great divide on here. I would rather debate The Villages issues, not race. Post 6 is way out of bounds.

I downloaded the wrong photo, realized my mistake and corrected it promptly and publically. The story is 100% factual, Chris Martin Palmer did indeed make those tweets. Why delete a true story?

You should google Steve Bannon and his quotes that are very similar, but from the "opposite" perspective.

America is in an upheaval and you don't want race discussed? My oh my.

Discuss race all you like. This thread is about hypocrisy, in which a reporter cheered the rioters on when they were burning down a building in their own neighborhood, and then called them animals when they came to his home.

And where was the "upheaval" last week?

The media has an agenda, guiding the gullible to think what the camera portrays is representative of what is going on in America.

It is not.

Red herring's, diversion and obfuscation, are just some of the methods by which those who are content with the status quo...try to ignore the real issue. :ohdear:

It's not the wrong Chris Palmer. Look him up on Twitter yourself.

Having mistaken one Chris Palmer for another is dangerous.. who know if the minority will seek out the "white" guy and burn his house.. very volatile

Antique lady 06-01-2020 12:59 PM

Burning and Looting
 
Just want to add that none of what we are seeing had to happen. Once the officers were fired they should have been detained by law enforcement to convey that this killing was being addressed.

Inaction fueled protest and protest served as cover for looters and as cover
for hate groups wanting to further incite violence. These killings by police
can not continue without accountability...…..This protest is now global
people in Germany, the UK and Canada have taken to the streets....

I don’t know if this is just their mentality or if it’s what the media is telling us, that it’s organized terrorist from the outside coming in & making trouble because they don’t like America or what it stands for. 99% of the rioters that the media talks to keep complaining that they can’t have their legal right to protest. But not one of them tell the media why they think they have the right to riot, burn & loot peoples businesses. I think these dead brain so-called protestors just want call this protest just so they can in their minds legally loot peoples businesses.
