may be you now give up this land to Native Americans, which you ancestors took from them

Sounds like a good plan.
When are you leaving?

"BLM (Black Lives Matter) is a terrorist organization.

It should banned and its members arrested."


Oh, just like they have banned and arrested all KKK members.


Idiot.

BLM isn't a black supremacist movement. It's not even close to the same thing. It's a "stop killing black people" movement.

So what do you call the "start killing cops" movement?

Hopefully you'll stay on Supertopo, kattz. It's important to have at least one cartoonishly racist person around to keep perspective.

I'm more interested in what Anton Sterling's take on firearms would have been.


I'm getting kind of tired of seeing the same old stereotypes. There's more to it.

Cliven Bundy's a moron. I've said that from the start.



And the shooting of Philando Castile seems far and away more reprehensible than Alton Sterling. But here, on the Taco, it looks like you've sort of subdued the race card in favor of "his permit cost him his life" card.

Just another gun nut, I guess.

Except in this case the cops took him out, so maybe he's really just a poor oppressed individual that deserves your unbiased support.

Sorry, who exactly is expressing any support for these as#@&%es? Are you seriously unable to differentiate support for the peaceful protesters from the murderous jerks who just undermined the protestors' entire message?

Cliven Bundy's a f*#king moron. I've said that from the start.

A moron who called sounded the Horn of Gondor to white militiamen across the west to show up and threaten law enforcement officer with guns. This is what "defending against government tyranny" looks like. People don't like it in practice it just sounds good to say it on the internet.

Comment was in reference to Sterling, not the Dallas shooter.

Oh, I see. You don't like the cops OR the gun nuts. I guess the whole situation is just a platform to express your disgust with the gun culture. Check.

LM (Black Lives Matter) is a terrorist organization.

It should banned and its members arrested.

Lying Obama tries to blame this incident on "guns" (the usual MO of liberals)...no, it's his BLM buddies, the terrorists, why doesn't he say it straight?!

Katz f*#k off.

great post escopeta.. well thought out and on point.



Kattz, you are misunderstanding Healyje. he is not excusing the shooters. He is saying that this is what happens when you degrade a group of people and kill and harass them with impunity. The shooters definitely should go to jail, but we also need to fix our police system.

As for black lives matter.. Of course all lives matter, but at the moment, black lives seem to be taking the biggest hit and black people don't feel a whole lot of support from white people who are still the majority. Of course if we want to go forward, then it needs to be translated to all lives matter, but that needs to start with white people going out and protesting with black people when black people have a legitimate concern. which seems to be happening daily.

DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and DNC Black Caucus Chair Virgie Rollins issued the following joint statement:

“Twice this week, first in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, then in St. Paul Minnesota, tragic, deadly incidents in which black men were killed by police officers have left families and communities shattered while re-igniting anger and racial tensions in cities across the country. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the families of both victims and the communities that are struggling to make sense of these tragedies.
“But thoughts and prayers are not enough. These fatal confrontations are yet another reminder that similar incidents have been and continue to be a serious problem in our nation, and they expose a larger issue plaguing our criminal justice system.

“Although investigations are ongoing, we must take strong, decisive action now, and in the long term, to protect the innocent and eliminate any appearance or reality of racial bias in law enforcement.

“Democrats are also committed to rebuilding the bonds of trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. We are committed to reforming our criminal justice system and ending mass incarceration. We are committed to investing in officer training for de-escalation and the appropriate use of force. We encourage better police-community relations and the use of smart strategies that build trust and confidence. And we also encourage communities everywhere, especially in the wake of terrible tragedies like these, to remember that the vast majority of men and women who serve in law enforcement do so honorably, putting themselves in harm’s way to protect us. And while most protesters have made their voices heard peacefully, tonight’s shooting of officers in Dallas is unacceptable and a reminder that the time to address these tensions and find common ground is long overdue.

“As we mourn and join together to heal, we must recommit ourselves to the work of preventing further violence. We cannot rest until all of our streets and neighborhoods are safe for Americans of all races.”

F*ck you Debbie Wasserman!

Yeah, by all means we need to eliminate the appearance of racial bias.

The mere fact that they put that in the sentence is more telling than any BLM march.

And theses are the people you retards think are gong to protect the rights of minorities and restore the balance? Riiiight.

I find it interesting that it took the unjust killing of two ARMED black men in remote locations to set off a murderous protest against police.

Very ignorant statement jony. The protest in Dallas was very peaceful until the shooting at the end, the police said as much. Dallas police are known to have good relations with the public. Both sides were treating each other with respect. Police were quick to note that the shooter has nothing to do with the murders.

Substitute NRA for BLM and I would agree.

It needs to start with eliminating the preface of "white, black, brown, etc." from the word people.

and that won't happen until white people do something as white people are still the majority and still have most of the power in this country.

It will become "all lives matter" when non-white people were killed at amounts proportionate to white people. Or better yet, when we achieve England's rates. A total of 1 person was killed by police in England last year. It's hard to have a racial disparity in police killing when they don't kill people.

Moosedrool, be real, it isn't possible to confiscate 300 million guns. Get over it.
