After she opened the windows I bet she cranked up the stereo

BULLSH!T. The people rioting were not deserving of 'empathy or compassion'. They were looting and rioting and burning things down. THey were criminals. Nothing in their behavior was 'demonstrating'. THey used George Floyd as an excuse to steal and to burn white people buildings down.

WEIRD.

Yeah, I said it.

Democrat lemmings are running around pointing their finger at Republicans and saying 'weird' for believing differently then they do. But this woman is WEIRD, and it's not because she has political ideas that are different. She's just WEIRD.

She is just an activist and if that is weird then your opinion is just that, an opinion. At least she's not being labelled, 'creepy' weird as Vance is now.

This is the problem with ATS it is so full of "whataboutisms" nobody can stay focused on the topic of thread.

Instead of "whattaboutisms" say you agree with her and be done with it.

There is nothing wrong with that this is still America, if one feels that way own it.

Any point of view worth a chit, should be able to stand on its own merit without the "yeah buts" and what about this or that

Another problem is "presumed guilty until proven innocent" hence this topic illustrating the exact same kind of witch hunt ATS resents so much. If you hate Gwen purely because she's married to the VP half of the DNC presidential ticket then just say so and dispense with the pretense.

Most likely she cranked up this tune.

Empathy and compassion for who? The poor, oppressed looters and arsonists? Where's her empathy and compassion for the hundreds of business owners who lost their livelihoods? I guess having their businesses destroyed was a "touchstone moment" for them.

George Floyd, whose right to life and freedom to exist was taken away.

Guess he shouldn't have OD'ed then

George Floyd's murder is one hell of a good excuse, no?

George Floyd ... a drug addicted man who routinely beat up women and who was in the process of being arrested for beating on a woman when he was dying of an overdose and may have had a cop kill him earlier by kneeling on his neck.

That doesn't give anyone an excuse to go loot and burn down buildings causing billions of dollars of damage.

Obviously it does for people who are tired of the double standards and BS within society. Change.

How dare you disparage the name and memory of St. Floyd

There are no double standards and George Floyd, a common violent criminal and drug addict dying of an overdose in police custody, isn't a good excuse for the criminal behavior of the rioters. You aren't an American and you know nothing about this country other than what you read in your foreign socialist rags. Your opinion is uninformed and ridiculous. Change.

You can call it "whataboutism". But I call it the "context" of your hypocrisy.

Yes, this is a thread about Gwen Walz observations during the George Floyd riots. Its not about Kamala's Harris involvement in a group that provides bail, or Trump's promise to pardon convicted Jan 6th rioters.

Yet, here we are.

I guess I need someone to explain to me where the weird part is in the video.
Any takers? Thanks

Our society is more sympathetic to villains than victims. Just look at what prosecutors are doing, what homeland security is doing, what DOJ is doing. Antifa is free to parade around and flaunt their Marxist agenda while J6 suspects are still in custody years later. None of which has anything to do with Gwen Walz.

Yet here we always end up with FF.

Deflection, true to form.

Notice how the left wing press never interviewed the woman he was beating on that day and asked her what she thought of George Floyd. Wonder what junkie Floyds drug dealer thought of him.

What is really sick are the memes about Floyd ... showing him with a halo and angel wings. Disgusting. The man routinely beat up women. He was a violent drug addict. And years later we find out he probably died of a drug overdose and the cop kneeling on him probably had nothing to do with it.

There is ZERO excuse for the rioters criminal behavior. Arson. Looting. Intimidation. Billions of dollars in damage and lost property. They all should be locked up. Absolutely no excuse.

And to throw wide open the windows of a mansion so you can breath the smoke and revel in it? WEIRD.

Did not Donald Trump, the President at the time, just sit there and do nothing during the J6 demonstrations? Did he relish it?

He did not sit there with open windows breathing in the smoke of burning buildings and burning cars, wishing he was with the arsonists and looters, destroying public and private property and stealing that which didn't belong to him.

SHE IS WEIRD

EVERYBODY IS WEIRD in varying levels. Vance has now graduated to CREEPY WEIRD.

Someone reveling in arson and opening the windows to breath in the cancerous smoke so she can be part of it. WIERD.

Whataboutism is the same as conspiracy theory is it not? lol

LOL no it isn't it's called deflection, and highlights the weakness of a point of view. It's something used when you have nothing else to support a position

Hell, I do it too, but it's weak sauce bullchit. It's how my 2 daughters would argue when they were 7 and 8 years old.

I don't give crap about Vance right now I'll dive into his flaws, failures, and quirks in another thread. For instance what his wife said about Trump and January 6th.

This thread is about Walz and in particular Walz's wife's statement about the Minneapolis riots burning for 3-4 days and her seemingly savoring the moment.

Id like to discuss that

This thread also deep dives into why Walz' wife was so upset and felt during the demonstrations turned violent that she needed a 'touchstone' moment. Diving deeper that 'touchstone' moment needs to be looked at in more detail. The deflection here is indeed along the lines of those with immature debating skills, so hence the deflection and name calling.

Respectfully you were so completely wrong about "whataboutisms" and conspiracy theories being the same, so much so I'm not sure if you are here to learn or to argue

Arguing is fine but I get plenty of that approach on Discord and Twitter in short format. ATS is a long format we have "dived deep" in 2 plus pages and the thread is already full of weak sauce whataboutisms.

FWIW she said what she said atleast she owns it, just as Vance's wife has seemingly owned and explained her position.
