AARP

These are two different questions: First, yes, the cop was wrong. Second, it appears some believe that the cop killed him. The medical examiner appears to disprove this.

You read my mind.

Seems to be a lot of folks on here fond of this report.

I’m worried that these clowns are going to take it too far. All kidding aside... we’re not the kind of people who will tolerate the lawlessness and destruction. I think that we’re approaching the time when these people need to be hit so hard that they don’t want to do it anymore.

I don’t disagree with you one bit, it may be impossible to prove that the actions of this pathetic excuse of a cop led to the death of Mr. Floyd, but I believe he is 100% responsible for his death. And that is my feeling based upon the evidence of me watching this punk keep his knee on his neck until he is dead.

You’re twisting my words. I do not believe that the NAACP should be classified as a racist group. That’s the fallacy of the whole “you’re a racist” declaration. Just because my beliefs don’t line up with the progressive left wing of the Democratic Party doesn’t make me a racist. I believe that God created us all equal in his eyes. What we do after that is up to us. If you’re 20 years old, a high school dropout, a criminal record, a couple of illegitimate kids, can’t speak the King’s English, and have neck tattoos.... your lack of personal success is not the fault of racism, oppression or privilege. That’s just bad life choices on your part. I’m never going to feel guilty over somebody else’s bad decisions. I don’t hate anybody, much less a group of people for the color of their skin. But I’m not going to pretend that the Emperor has on clothes for you, either. I’m not going to apologize for something that may or may not have happened to somebody’s ancestors by somebody who may or may not have been one of my ancestors. Slavery has existed since the dawn of mankind. It’s still going on in Africa today. There’s not another country in the world that doesn’t have a history that includes slavery. But it’s our “original sin.” Slavery was a bad thing. We got it wrong to start, and we fought hard and got that institution outlawed, as it should be. But to hear the Mayor of Minneapolis blaming the looting on 400 years of horror is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.

What a load of crap.

B.S. Have you ever heard of members of the NAACP lynching Whites, or bombing churches?

Agreed, when your spending some else’s money ( taxpayers) and don’t have to produce a profit Efficiency is not a Top Priority. The multiple number of taxes that we pay in this country is nothing short of legalized theft. With that being said I am sure the field will be nice and I know the kids will love it. I know the Vidor kids have enjoyed there new turf field. Hopefully we get to sit in the stands this season to watch our teams play.

RIP Mr. Floyd. You notice that his death has the MSM no longer interested in the 100,000 Covid deaths, Russia, China, Bangladesh, Vatican City, Islamic Terrorist, ISIS, Alt Right, Militias, 15-20 different genders and the NFL. They never cease to amaze.

I wasn’t commenting on the NAACP not supporting him. I was saying that he has made a fool out of anyone who championed his cause. May be the worst justice that has ever disgraced a robe (I can’t think of anyone worse). He has cornered the market on incompetence and laziness. But thanks to the color of his skin, he did achieve the pinnacle of his profession. So good on the NAACP and anyone else who didn’t support his nomination. And shame on the hypocrites who oppose affirmative action yet do support him. And not to derail this thread, but my view of Comatose Clarence has nothing to do with his philosophical beliefs. I appreciate any justice who is bright, thoughtful and hardworking. Justice Scalia, who was as conservative a justice as the high court has seen, was one of the greatest justices the Court has ever seen. He was brilliant and a workhorse. His best friend, RBG, although on the other end of the political spectrum, will be remembered as one of the best as well (and Scalia would be the first to tell you how much he respected her). But when Thomas replaced Thurgood Marshall on the Court, it was akin to the Lakers replacing Lebron James with Kevin James.

I disagree with you. I think that groups that help advance the cause of groups (racial, ethic, political affiliation are just fine. My problem is that IF there were such a group for white people, membership in THAT group would be grounds for disqualification. Heck, just saying that you voted "R" makes you a racist and unfit for leadership in a lot peoples' minds

My momma said Lumberton needs to drop down to 2A to make it out of the 3rd round. What does I-10 have to do with anything? Also Crocodiles are honory because they have all them teeth and no tooth brush to keep them clean.

How do you know that? Are they doing EVERYTHING possible? I doubt it. Are you on the school board? A special planning commission? Do I not have a right to convey my opinion on this and any other subject? I do not live in Nederland, but I have 3 properties in Nederland and pay my fair share of taxes there. I am also in the construction industry and have a vast knowledge of how long it takes to build anything from a dog house, to a home to a refinery... I have worked on many municipal projects and understand theIr ineptness of doing anything in a timely fashion. They are allowed to go at a snail’s pace, because they have no one to answer to - no customer, if you will. “No need to rush it...” That’s a direct quote from the superintendent. So, I will continue to pose my opinion based on lots of experience while standing on my well constructed soap box which is the one thing in this conversation that is being delivered right on time.
