Its a little like preaching to the choir. The only people that will profoundly care about games not happening are already pro-BLM. At least a large %. Why stop there just resign from hoops and go fight the good fight full time?

Smh.
Yall mother ers won't end this crap untill a civil war occurs.
So...... Could the draft move up instead of move back if the playoffs gets canceled?
I think that’s just a normal phase. At some point when these people still aren’t happy and still causing mayhem... a new phase will begin. At that point they will have blown their shot for real change and will be retaliated against. They are close to wearing out their welcome.
Play stupid games... win stupid prizes.
Now that’s the way to look at it. Need 2020 to be done ASAP!
Facts Don't Matter
The same day as the Blake shooting, two cops got shot by a guy who climbed back into his car and grabbed a weapon. The night before, some ANTIFA/BLM opened fire on a police vehicle. And still people are trying to call this "peaceful protest". If you want a revolution, then have the balls to call it. If you want "peaceful protest" then don't light on fire and shoot guns. You can't have it both ways, no matter how much you'd like to.
And why would he be attacked like that? Do you think he was just chilling minding his own businesses, or maybe, just maybe, and I'm going on a limb here, the guy went there and started to instigate ?
I'm not taking sides here. Both parties are wrong. No matter what an idiot says, people shouldn't start attacking him. But the guy, knowing how violent some of these protesters are, should have known better and stay out of their way. He has nothing to do there. If that's a cause that doesn't represent you, then don't join the cause. Don't be there. Let the others protest for what they want and move along. And, finally, don't kill nobody son. That should go without saying.
I don't think anyone knows ... apparently the owners were blindsided by this.
Yes, but he's not doing that because of the NBA. He's doing it because he's a Democrat and that's what his members of his party want. It has nothing to do with the Bucks cancellation. Just being honest here, but the vast majority of the public doesn't care about what NBA players think. It makes them feel good to take a stand, and that's fine, but it won't change anyone's mind, especially when so much of the "persuasion" is based in shaming and being unwilling to have a real discussion about race.
Yea the 17 year-old kid shouldn’t have been there with a firearm in the first place. Kid was asking for trouble and this all could’ve been avoided if he hadn’t put himself in that situation. With that said, after seeing the videos, I’ve changed my stance. First guy he shot in the head He was running away from. The guy chasing him had just thrown a Molotov tail at him, and then continue to pursue and run up on him to attack him. That’s when he got shot in the head. Same guy was caught on camera earlier in the night repeatedly saying, “Shoot me n*gga!” Basically antagonizing the kid. Well, he got shot.
The shooter, after putting one in the guy’s dome, immediately called the cops to report what had happened as he fled the scene. He was then chased by other protestors/rioters. Kid with the rifle falls down while running away and is immediately attacked by 2 or 3 guys, one with a pistol in hand, and one with a skateboard. That’s when he started firing. He shot the skateboarder in the chest and the guy with a pistol in the arm. Shooter has a strong case for self-defense here.
Like I said, he shouldn’t have been there in the first place and from what I read it was illegal possession of a firearm since she was only 17, but he was retreating and then attacked both times he fired his weapon. Good chance he gets off of the First Degree Murder charge. He’ll definitely be charged for other stuff though. Should be an interesting case. Sad situation all around and could’ve easily been avoided.
Eh, be careful of this. He shot someone that appeared to be unarmed before the whole "self protection" argument this guy is making. It's as likely that these folks jumped him because he just shot someone and not because he was a victim defending himself. Let's get the facts before we defend someone who may have murdered two people in cold blood. Teenagers that are emotionally charged should not go to these events armed to "protect" businesses. It is inevitable that they will make a poor decision and kill someone. Let the cops and the national guard keep the peace. It sucks for the business owners, but the governor is at fault for not calling in the feds sooner. But this kid has no good reason to be at the location armed and ready to shoot someone. It's an unnecessary provaction of an already hostile situation.
That's right and even they don't care what the NBA says. If the NBA said they backed the boys in blue, those same folks probably won't listen or change their opinions. It's just silly to think that regular folks care what athletes or sports leagues have to say. People form their own opinions.
So it was a right-winger who fired the shots?
Do we agree on that much?
I don’t know if that is true, but he is someone that was part of a youth police club and supports the men in blue. Is that strictly a right wing position? I don’t know. I think that’s stereotyping, which is what the BLM is against, right?
He was in the front row of a Trump rally in January.
Its a special session in response to the police shooting. I don't think they've blown their shot at all. If Biden wins and Democrats take the Senate then their are going to major policing changes in response to their protests.
Who cares if they wear out their welcome? The protests aren't about getting people on their side, its about getting justice and affecting policy/ society changes. They have a very good chance at doing that, technically they already have.
We're not talking about BLM here, we're talking about Trump.
Apparently the shooter is not a "socialist" or a "Marxist." That's all that matters in the current propaganda war coming from the pedestals of power in what's left of our country.
Eh, may be a Trump fan, but why? Trump has cross party appeal and cross party distain. Maybe he’s a Democrat that likes Trumps position on police and law enforcement. It’s sad that people are in such a rush to classify a crazy person to meet their agenda. Why not wait more than 24 hours to decide what happened and who the kid is and what he stands for?
ANTIFA are rioting and destroying our cities--not protesting. People have the right and duty to protect their businesses, homes, cars, and families from ANTIFA terrorism in their neighborhood.
If ANTIFA expects to terrorize the country like they're in some GTA game with no consequences, they're deeply mistaken.
I don't have 100% of the facts to make a call on Rittenhouse--but there's an awful lot of evidence that at least some of the shots fired were justified. We'll see how things shake out in trial. Make sure to view information from sites of all political persuasions before coming to a conclusion.
Six months ago I'd be bobbing my head in agreement that we had a problem with hot-headed police ("systemic racism" if you'd like), but the police look as sage and peaceful as Saint Theresa compared to ANTIFA...
Lock up ANTIFA terrorists first and then we can return to fixing our problems with policing. Trump has shown he's willing to sign off on police reform in his 2016 term and I expect his 2020 term to be no different. Send the bill to his desk and he will do the right thing.
Remember they claimed the same crap about the cop in minnesota. Need a fact-check.
I didn't say that it was, it was in response to the actual shooting. He knew that there was going to be a major backlash and wanted to get out in front of it. Other states have already changed policy to get out in front of of future police shootings, Colorado in particular.
Again, doesn't really matter what the public thinks. Them boycotting was meant to send a message and galvanize the people that do believe in their message. All it takes is convincing the right ones who have to the ability to affect change.
In that way, I think the boycott is going to be very successful, especially in Wisconsin, where the Bucks are well liked. Refusing to play will force people to address the issues particularly in the state.
