If that is what you think is "funny" we take on board your particular tastes.
Powerful: Protesters Spell Out 'Love' With Burning Homes And Businesses

Note to: rederob and Knobby22
I understand you don't have a good grasp of humour so I'm just letting you know that
the above is a joke and I do not claim that this actually happened.
Don't use that word, honkey."niggers"
This is what change looks like. You think a Biden,Bush, Obama or Hillary are going to get fundamental structural changes?The looting and violence is beyond xhite. That doesn't change one little bit the raw anger of millions of people who saw a slow live public killing of a handcuffed black guy by a police officer who pulled him up for passing a dodgy $20 bill.
It doesn't change one little bit a President who uses the the police to tear gas a peaceful protest away at a church to make the most monumentally hypocritical sermon on Justice in the name of Christ ever achieved.
It doesn't change a US society where tens of millions of ardent Trumpists and associated White Supremacists with armories of assault rifles are in the wings waiting to "take back" their country.
It doesn't change a US that is still raging with COVID 19 and will almost certainly have another explosion of cases as various States open us and the probable contagion from these rallies takes hold.
So on a practical note this might be a good time to reconsider ones weighting in US securities/ stocks. They may also burn in the conflagration.
Indeed it is a joke Dutchie.We can see that..It's about on par with "Jews in the oven jokes " pictures of smiling "niggers" eating watermelons (cause those folks all looove watermelon...!) and a score of other nasty, hateful tropes.

Peaceful demonstration is intrinsic to our liberal society and notion of free speech, rioting, violence and looting is not, it is criminal.
I think a lot of it is, people just love an opportunity to behave badly, mob rule has been around since Adam was a boy.Indeed so, but some people often lump the two groups into one in order to villify them both don't you think ?
We are reaching out to family and friends to share our parents’ story.
On May 29th, after months of being shut down due to COVID-19, Englewood Beauty Supply was getting ready to finally reopen and serve its community in the South Side of Chicago. Our father had spent hours with his employees preparing the store in order to ensure the safety of his employees and customers, and despite his own health issues which put him at high risk, he decided that it was important to open up his store to support not only his livelihood but his employees’ livelihoods as well.
On May 30th, all of that effort, and the efforts of a lifetime were destroyed by looting, while our dad helplessly watched for hours from the security footage on his phone.
Our father opened his small business in Chicago’s South Side 30 years ago after immigrating from Korea to America with absolutely nothing. Englewood Beauty Supply was more than a business, and over the decades it became a fixture in the neighborhood, with relationships built with community members. Our father had worked tirelessly and relentlessly without taking days off, working almost 365 days of the year so that he could support our family without complaint and serve as the best example to his children of positivity and the value of hard work.
This is not the first setback that our parents have faced. In 2007, when our home was destroyed by lightning, the store was a source of hope, a way to rebuild, and start again. Our father’s same positivity, strength, and heart that he put into his store helped us rebuild our home over the years. It breaks our hearts to see how defeated they are this time, and we would like to give them hope as they rebuild again.
The world is hurting and we understand that this was a result of the hurt and the need for change. We empathize with the outrage that has come from the lack of change and unjust treatment of the black community, and we stand by our community and those who are suffering. We also know that our parents are hurting, and it will be a long road of recovery and healing. Unlike large businesses, our small business insurance does not cover the entire cost of damages and stolen goods. We are humbly asking for support in rebuilding our parents’ business and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Sincerely,
Bradford and Grace Chong
Edit/Update**
This morning at 6:30am (Wednesday, June 3rd), we received a call from a neighboring business that our building was on fire. Our father headed over to see the damage, and it was devastating. We are at a loss of words and unsure how to move forward. We are asking for support during this time as the costs for repair are unimaginable and devastating. Our father's livelihood and everything that he has worked for as an immigrant for the past 30 years has been stripped away from him. We ask for any support possible and prayers as we try to recover.

After Fire:
As we are seeing now in London, the copycat thugs are kicking off attacking No 10, because?????I think a lot of it is, people just love an opportunity to behave badly, mob rule has been around since Adam was a boy.
I don't think the hard working majority in the U.S or U.K will agree with this sort of behaviour, they know one way or another it is them who pay for it, either by higher taxes, higher prices or a combination of both.As we are seeing now in London, the copycat thugs are kicking off attacking No 10, because?????
Well, it *is because the radical leftists in the Labour Party have been fomenting violence for quite some time now.
The protest got hijacked.
Media is trying to say it's ok to loot because of the built up rage.
No it's fking not.
George's family called for restraint as did a lot from blm.
Bas you like bagging the coalition here and in the UK, Im not sure where Trump sits because I dont follow US politics, but I really think you have to take a deep breath and really ask yourself how can we make it better and how we pay for it.Lets straighten a few things up.
Yes Georges family as well as other prominent activists (Killer Mike ) called for peaceful demonstrations. There is no value in trashing their own communities.
Which media have tried to say it was ok to trash and loot ? Be really interested to see evidence for that assertion.
Yes the protests have been hijacked. Would it surprise anyone to find that White Supremacists groups have decided to stir things up and basically help turn the protests into a xshitstorm they can then attack ?
Three accused of conspiring to spark violence during protests in Las Vegas
Three Nevada men with ties to right-wing extremists have been arrested and charged with attempting to incite violence during protests in Las Vegas over the death of George Floyd.
The Associated Press reported that the men face a host of federal and state charges after being arrested on the way to a protest in downtown Las Vegas with Molotov cocktails and unregistered firearms. The men reportedly planned to instigate a riot by causing destruction at a peaceful protest in the city.
“People have a right to peacefully protest. These men are agitators and instigators. Their point was to hijack the protests into violence,” U.S. Attorney Nicholas Trutanich told the AP.
The men are reportedly charged with terrorism, felony conspiracy and explosive possession charges in state court, and also face unregistered firearm charges as well as charges of conspiracy to cause damage by fire or explosive in federal court.

Indeed it is very fundamental.Peaceful demonstration is intrinsic to our liberal society and notion of free speech, rioting, violence and looting is not, it is criminal.
I believe the "left" in the absence of a better word has long ago dismissed pretending aiming for peace.If the aim is peace, you fix the current issues, move on and leave the past behind.
There are millions of people demonstrating peaceably.I believe the "left" in the absence of a better word has long ago dismissed pretending aiming for peace.
Long gone is Martin Luther King dream.
Excellent virtue signalling there basilio.
For your records, I think this is funny too.
