Hmm...

I wonder how many leftists think the cure for racism is violent actions?

I wonder how many righties think the cure for progressive lifestyle choices is violent actions..

I wonder how many of the far left and far right folks realize they are domestic terrorists...

And I wonder how many of you posters don't realize how aligned you are with them...

Here's a thought. You can't cure hate. No matter how many flags or statues you get rid of, those pieces of history will not change a group of people's idiotic way of thinking. No matter how many rules or regulations your big dumb government can create... it won't get rid of hate/racism/bigotry..

You can't cure it with 'love' either. Sorry... We really should start thinking more inclusively... realize that not everyone wants to be centered or like everyone else...
some people will always hate someone else just because they are jewish, white, black, native american, racist, misogynistic, muslim, republican, democrat, etc etc etc

Anyone who thinks the world will EVER be rid of all the bad is stupid or at the very least extremely naive.

So my suggestion is... you don't like someone, don't be around them. You don't like what they say ("hate speech") don't listen....
You have the option to turn away, turn off, ignore.... be the better person.

You can't have freedom of speech for Kaepernick but not freedom of speech for the Klan... or freedom of speech for Pro-Life groups... but limit the Pro-choice groups...
sorry... that's idiotic.

People that seek out people expressing their views to be met with violence and anti-speech views are backwards [BLEEP] thinking folks. Solve nothing...
And I'd say the majority of Americans fall into one category or the other... Too extreme.. It takes all kinds of kinds to go around.
You can be a racist, bigot, [BLEEP]-hat who thinks there is a 3 headed spaghetti monster for a God... Not my problem...
Just don't come on my lawn, stay out of the street so I can get to work while you protest, and don't hurt others.

The rioting to prove a point only proves you are weak. No matter what side you're on.
Oh... and blaming someone for something they didn't do is stupid. More stupid than stupid.

It isn't Trump's fault this crap happened..
This crap has been going on since forever... stupid people expressing themselves in stupid ways... and it gets out of control and our local PDs are caught in the middle of a bunch of idiots whose mamas didn't raise them right...

Sad.
