Sorry but just like putting a £1 towards a charity, it's a drop in the ocean if everyone isn't doing it, it changes nothing.


Spoke like a true quitter using someone else's death for a false equivocacy.

Like I said, you don't care about Timpa.


I shall leave if there with yourself, intelligence certainly isn't your strong suit.

Point is Timpa's case should be much higher up the scale than Floyds case of police brutality and serious neglect, yet here we go again it does not fit the narrative.


you are arguing a point you already figured out. The only way anything becomes a "national outrage", is by the MSM promoting it. If it fits the narrative, it will be the next big thing, if it doesn't, it won't. it's just that simple. If you really want to be angry, be angry at the media, or at least those who give them their taking points.

Problem is, because of Timpa's skin color, nobody gives a #.


The only s*** people like you and the Original Poster give about Timpa is to use his death in an unseemly manner to make a point why other people are protesting and you are not.

If you truly 'gave a s***' about Timpa you and the Original Poster would have done something besides run your mouths on the internet.


Like you care for Floyd? GTFOH

Has he said that? or does he just think you can't let the police do this to..anyone!

black people are 16 per cent of the population but in the last 5 years they represent 26.4 ,per cent of those killed by police.

Wonder why they're still attracting so much law enforcement attention to begin with. -chuckle

Don'tcha know he is an angel?



The halo and wings don't sit very well with pointing a gun at a woman's stomach while robbing her.

The protesters should keep focused on ending the excessive use of force by police, not idolizing this guy. His face is on all the banners and t-shirts now. It's like saying "praise be the honorable criminal, glory to his crimes".

This is being framed to white people that they have no part in a discussion on police violence, because this couldn't happen to one of them. This proves that isn't the case. People are condoning the rioting and looting for this reason which is bogus.

These cases are only pushed on social media. They're not usually exploited by national news. If this movement was about police brutality don't you think someone would extend the olive branch to whites who are also victims?

Are you equally upset and calling those out that are using Floyd's death to make a point?

Honestly. How do you think it would go over if white people were protesting over this at the moment? Would that ease tensions or raise them?

Well worth repeating. Floyd was a worthless POS.

The real problem is that people like Floyd are not incentivized to stop being criminals.

Bring back the damned Arena!!

Oh, my God! Those poor people, unable to articulate themselves. I couldn't imagine what it's like to be white and not be able to say anything, because, you know, no one seems to be able to shut my cracker ass up.


These cases are only pushed on social media.


So you saying you cant figure out the Twitter and the Facebook? Ask your grandkids.

Don't be an ass and try and conflate protesting with rioting, they are two different things.

I have no problem with any protesting at any time over anything. I may or may not agree with the message but you better goddamn well believe I support the people's right to protest.


Honestly. How do you think it would go over if white people were protesting over this at the moment? Would that ease tensions or raise them?


Over Timpa's death? I personally think it would be well received if it was framed as another case of police brutality and not, 'But day dun killed a white man, you aints mad because he aint no negro!'.

Most of the people arguing this sound like race baiting morons to be perfectly blunt.

Tekner's right. Floyd had years of drug abuse, heart disease, meth, heroin, weed, and the coronavirus. He was a perfect subject for the democrats to setup and have his family paid off in order to reignite the racial movement. They've been successful in moving this from hate the police to hate the white people who don't kneel in solidarity with them, and take down President Trump, but their plan will backfire the more they push it out, as usual.

We, as the silent majority, better get the fck off our asses and vote this year. Even more than we did last year.

Straight up ... I wasn't going to waste my time voting this year.

After Floyd (and Arbery), I came to the same conclusion as you just posted. Dragging my wife with me too.


Excellent. My oldest son turned 18 on May 31 and the first thing he asked me was where he needs to go to get registered to vote.

None of which are the cause of death. Everything else is irrelevant to what I said.

In your perceptions.

I mean JESUS CHRIST was a not so good guy to the Roman establishment that would feed humans to animals for entertainment during his previous visit.

What he did before doesn't warrant an execution, you racist jerk.


He mentioned that in the body of his post.

You're a perfect example of why this has worked on the masses of sheep. The left has been successful in making you think anyone who doesn't see things your way are racists.

Hat tip to and your son.

I told my daughter to get her butt down to the polls and vote for President Trump in 2016. Little sniveler told me she went, but couldn't pull the lever for Trump. I asked her, "Did you vote against me?" and she said she wouldn't, but just couldn't pull the lever for Trump.

ETA: She moved to VA last year. Had some personal differences with the Governor threatening her right to own the Glock I gave her.

After this note, I'm going to make myself a reminder to call her tonight and find out what she's gonna do. Son's overseas so it won't matter.

Obviously talking about the double standard involved and the purposeful race baiting.

It's not about using twitter or Facebook the point was they're not pushed by national media. Again talking about double standards.

No, I mean LITERALLY condoning rioting and looting.

So that's a solid no, your not calling out people using Floyd's death for their personal agenda?


I think you're being wholly disingenuous. I have seen a lot of people attacked for simply bringing it up when someone tells them they couldn't understand, because it wouldn't happen to them. I'm quite certain plenty of people have genuinely wondered what's wrong with ALLLIVESMATTER not as an attack, but because others have used that as a "racists" rallying call they are castigated for it. I see this being no different. If this is the case why wouldnt they already have used this?

The FATHER of humanity intended for races to integrate those who are against integration and seek segregation shall be segregated from the Ascended spirits that moved beyond petty segregation.
Basically those about segregation are against the will of the FATHER.
Good luck with that as beyond the colors of flesh is where it your spirit integrity shall count the most.

It concerns me to see both Floyd and Timpa, along with any other similar situations, killed by police for no good reason.

I'm just not posting my fake outrage like you are.


I won't lie. I care about Timpa and Floyd as much as I care about the stranger who was killed when he drove his car off of the interstate and hit a tree... I think their death is mourned by their friends and loved ones just as my grandmother's friends and loved ones mourned her death (besides my drug addicted cousins that were never around, they spent more time at my grandmother's house after her death than they did the past decade, because there were things to be gotten) and the rest is overboard and too emotional not to be faked outrage. That's my opinion on the whole matter.

My problem with it is how it's been used by the media to divide the country racially and politically, even more, again. And, like everyone else, I don't think they deserved to die.

Wow - what terrible comments.

He was clearly killed by a cop. Nothing he did or was accused of doing justified killing him in such a sadistic way.

You can't allow cops to be judge, jury and executioners.

Just like you can't allow Governors of State to be the "ONE" to assess whether you could leave your house for three months. It sucks when some State employee thinks they should be the only one with no oversight to make these decisions.

I believe these riots (and they are riots not protests) hijacked a true issue and are using it not to increase rights but to establish precedents to destroy rights to speak out against issues. It's now acceptable to ban people who even remotely are critical of a certain movement. You can easily lose your job for having contact with family members who do not fully support a movement.

When all of this is settled, the doomed from the start "defund the police" will have been forgotten and corrupt cops will still be around. What will have changed, is the inability of people to question what CNN has deemed the appropriate response.

"I dont want to protest for for this other person, but. I am shocked and outraged that no one is protesting for him." What. A. Freakin. Tool. Here's a basic rule most kids are taught, though apparently your awful parents saw as a waste of time on you. You dont get to complain about something you dont take action in making better. Floyd didn't deserve to die for any of the reasons you stated. Wanna be grumpy that someone else didn't get the same protest treatment, do something about it or shut up? Geesh, what a freakin baby.
