Media Bias

[Hermit]

If someone is burning buildings, and stealing high-end consumer goods, then it's pretty safe to assume they are a criminal opportunist. If they are a protester, they probably have clear desires which could be addressed by a willing community.

I heard that sort of sentiment expressed many times before, most recently...



...almost as recently...



...and in reference to something that happened a long time in the past...

It just seemed such a typically dialled-in poisoning of the well which totally ignored the dubiousness of those brick caching claims. Focusing on those claims though seems like moral safe ground, regardless of whether they're not true.

Funny you should say that. It seems like a 'trap' to me. Got a sneaking feeling anyway.

Time will tell, probably. It sure looks organized though.

So yeah, you're only focusing on the violence during the protest,

NEXT to the protest.

but I'd suggest that the vast majority of people are out to simply register an objection to their residential, political, and economic ghettoisation and the systematic injustices they live under.

Do you know how legal protests are arranged?

Did you hear about groups encouraging unpermitted protests to draw police resources away so they can loot?

The establishment are drowning out the causes of the protest - which were merely triggered by the summary execution of a black man who possed no threat to the police or the public - with table-thumping promises of more and extreme state sanctioned violence. But discussions about the protest cannot be reduced to decrying the rioting, and to do so is to avoid the real issues - often deliberately so.

So the protest...who is against them?

I honestly haven't heard a single person attempt to defend the murdering cop. So who exactly is?

If Trump threatens rioters, do you hear it as Trump threatening protesters?

How would you protect your dearly loved protesters against those kinds of tactics?

Indeed, I’ve never seen a stack of bricks neatly arranged on a pallette at a construction site before. Usually they are just spread around willy nilly so people trip on them.

I meant the nationwide riots, but I understand that's a bit much to speculate on.

I think the bricks story is a kind of trap, and maybe I fell in it.

Isn't it weird though, that the 'protest' is against...um...

Who is being protested again? The cop?

His (democrat) chief?

Their Democrat Mayor?

Or are they now protesting the killing of David Dorn?

Decades of racism and indiscriminate murder of black people possibly?

Who is 'indiscriminately murdering black people'?

Is that just politically-charged bullshit? Or is there a statistical basis for thinking so?

I have to tell you, Ben Shapiro, who doesn't sound reasonable at ALL, sounds WAY more reasonable about this than you. Of course, he backed up his shoutings with statistics and science...

There is statistical evidence that African-Americans were 2.8 more times to be killed while being arrested between 2009–2012.

This is of course nowhere near as bad as in the more distant past when for decades black people really did have to endure indiscriminate murder.

So that small a difference is 'indiscriminately murdering black people'?

Oh wait, you must have been answering another question...

Or trying to defend an enormous exaggeration with a tiny statistical example.

Nearly 3 time the rate of police killing is a major, clear and significant difference. If it had been 1.05 times, you may have had a point...

I guess it is the phrase 'indiscriminate murder of black people'.

It sounds like complete bullshit, meant to vilify someone...

Who is it you are pinning these 'indiscriminate murders' on?

Nearly 200% more is "a small difference"? I think you need to go back to school.

Welp, the Anarchist/Antifa Bricks conspiracy theory has been investigated, and none of the photos presented as evidence remains unexplained. In every case the bricks or pavers or stones got where they were by the usual routes, conveyed by the usual people (contractors and municipal workers). Not that anybody should be all that surprised by this fact. Nor that those who've become enamoured of the conspiracy theory will refuse to accept evidence. All sources of said evidence are Enemies of the People, and those in their sinister thrall. So it goes.

'People Say Pallets Of Bricks Are Showing Up Near Protests All Over The US. The Truth Is More Complicated.'

A wave of social media posts and images have claimed that pallets of bricks have been appearing near the locations of protests in cities all over the United States. This sparked rampant speculation that the bricks are part of a coordinated effort to incite violence as a way to entrap protesters and instigate chaos.

BuzzFeed News has documented claims made about bricks in Boston, Dallas, Kansas City, San Francisco, and elsewhere. In several cases, bricks were placed long before protests began in the US, or they are clearly linked to ongoing construction. As of now, there's no evidence to support claims of coordinated brick placements at protests. However, now that the claims have spread across social media — and been amplified by the White House — it’s possible that people could be inspired to start collecting and placing bricks.

Just another brick in the wall...

Or, as I've said sometimes seeing stupid behaviour of people shopping, just another prick in the mall...
