I know I need to get off of facebook, but I have a ton of cousins and it is the best way to keep in touch with everyone but I really need to stop reading comments on things.
I got sucked into a little argument because someone posted about George Floyd. I guess he was angry because he along with other "protesters" from the summer of love were being told that they worship Floyd and he took exception to that because he said speaking out against police brutality. I told him that it was possible to be against police brutality while also not making a martyr out of people. Like giving Floyd a golden casket funeral like he was some medal of honor winner during the "deadly" covid pandemicthat apparently didn't affect rioters. Also asked him why they don't bother to examine the actual facts of these shootings since pretty much all of them involve not listening to the cops or resisting.
Long story short he wasn't thrilled with that. I asked if he fought against police brutality when Tony Tympa died (of course he hadn't heard of him) and when I mentioned David Dorn he said that Dorn wasn't killed by peaceful protesters.
Long story short he told me I was following white supremacist talking points and blocked me when I said that apparently white supremacy means not doing things that attract the cops.
I still don't understand why people don't realize you can be against police brutality and hold cops accountable while also not worshipping people and making them saints. Interesting how the whole "you can't talk about their past" rules went out the window with Ashli Babbit.
I'm glad I was in the Air Force before things went crazy. Did the guy calm down?
I was twice his size, I just laughed in his face and told him if he didn’t want to keep talking he could just shut up. He seethed a bit, finished his beer and left.
Ser Gregor Clegane meets Tyrion?
More like the hound meets the bald dude that had aryas rapier. It’s always funny when some dumbass gets liquid courage and suddenly thinks they can fight. Then again I’m used to going out drinking with marines and occasionally college football players I lift with so someone usually has to pretty drunk to get that ballsy.
