George Floyd protests

[Brian Peacock]

FDR is far right by Brian's metric..

Lol. Not quite. One can see the post-war march to the right across the developed world as a consequence of capital interests played out by political means.

And to some extent one can also see The New Deal as a consequence of US capitalism - to wit, the failure thereof and the economic depression which followed.

An Indian River County man is finding out how tough it can be to get justice as a victim of stalking — because his stalkers are cops. This innocent man, who we will refer to as Smokey had committed no crime, had harmed no one, yet he still became the victim of police stalking.

In August of last year, multiple officers showed up at Smokey’s home while he was at work. Having been burglarized the week prior, Smokey had just installed video cameras on his home which captured the most unscrupulous actions of Vero Beach Police Officers.

When police showed up, Smokey was at work. He then got a call from his neighbors to alert him to the fact that police were at his house, so he hurried home. When Smokey arrived home 45 minutes later, he noticed that his video camera on his front porch had been disabled.

When he went back to the video to see what had happened, Smokey realized that it was the cops who took out his camera. Police left no note to say they had been there, no notice that they had tampered with his property, and made no mention of it to their superiors.

How's that work? Why isn't US capitalism a consequence of the New Deal? Is "US capitalism" innate to Americans? Is it something we're born with? Is it something that occurs naturally within America's borders?

I'm using US capitalism only to locate the capitalism of the US. We all know that capitalism was invented by the Dutch and Italians, and that's it's been a global, and globalising force, ever since.

"The DOJ still hasn't charged any Antifa members, though Barr says there are several investigations underway. Surely, left-wing extremists are responsible for some, perhaps most, of the post-Floyd violence. But Trump exaggerates their role and fully ignores far-right groups."

Like the Boogaloo boys... killed two cops during Oakland's post-Floyd riots.

More violent terrorism from Antif... oh wait, not Antifa, but far-right loonies. Doh! I'm sure next time it'll be Antifa, right Cnut?

As far as I can see, most of the looting and burning (and it was only early) was done by a fringe of very angry black protestors, with the looting being opportunistic and spontaneous. Regrettable but understandable. I can see no evidence for Antifa or far-left groups (often mostly white) to have been involved...

We can use the true Scotsman argument on thelooters: they are not Democrats. Looters never vote.
