You may critique the response of government but don't make it political.
Posts attributing motives because it involves this or that political party/politician/ideology will not be tolerated.
Examples:
Allowed: "Trump doesn't know what he's doing, the response was too little too late"
Not Allowed: "The only reason the response was so slow was to keep the stock prices high so he can get reelected"
Allowed: "The media is over-reporting this and it's going to make things worse"
Not Allowed: "The liberal media is over-reporting this because they're trying to bring down Trump"
Miracle cures, home remedies, and medical advice should not be posted.
Be careful what you link to, treat it like the trade forum we don't want to spread bad information.

You live in South Boston fam. One of the worst states for 2A. How u gonna fight back? IDK Mass laws yet but I bet if you shoot or defend your property there YOU will also get jailed.
I’m south of Boston, not in South Boston. I’ll take my chances defending myself if needed, because what’s the option? Maybe I’ll get a free pass like the other criminals are getting

they dont.
What they do is light the flame and pass the torch. Sometimes literally.
Then on to the next building or block.

the mob mentality is really scary. One of my daughters friends was live streaming the shit last night, I told her to tell him to get out asap

Why can't why humanity just get along. Isn't this the first thing taught.

because we forget. Things get bad then better. Then we forget and get bad again.
Thats my theory anyway.

Nobody remembers the devastation of polio so why have vaccines?
Nobody left the lived world war horrific actions of what man can do to man. The draft of those that couldnt afford to dodge.
So people in charge think theyre John f***ing Wayne.
The freedom marches, April 4 1968, Not many left that recall all of it.

Mix in a would be dictator and here we are.

IDK maybe its JUST ME but common sense would dictate if you loot and set fire to a bunch of cities and climb the gates of the white house the government is gonna call in the Guard and maybe the army.
The National Guard was needed. As if a government official can stand at a podium and waive a magic wand and end this madness?

There are extremists who feast on events like this. They invade peaceful protests, blend in & jump to the front lines wreaking havoc. I don’t give a rats ass if they’re Antifa or far right white nazis they’re all scum in my opinion. And they should be dealt with accordingly. These “people” contribute absolutely nothing to society. The only way to shut them down is with force.

it’s horrible. Reminds of times I prefer not to remember.
The most critical thing to me must be the ability to separate protesters from rioters/looters.
All its gonna take is for some poor innocents to be shot and we will indeed have a civil war. IMO.

Mob mentality is why I am not a democrat or republican. TOO many morons wont be friends with you if you dont 100% agree with everything they say.

The sheep mentality makes like boring I have friends from all walks of life an I dont agree with everything they say or do but thats life.

You cant learn if everything is thinking the same

im a registered independent. I don’t want to have to agree with someone because we belong to the same party.

I think we just need some common sense, but that seems to be rare in politics.
