OT: Anything Goes 37

[migi]

Zach Smith with one of the best statements I've seen from white NHLers so far. Haven't come across any other Hawks comments on the matter yet.

Toews gave his couple minutes ago.

Powerful message.

I would add tangential to what Toews said is that part of why that video is so heartbreaking is that it shouldn't be the responsibility of the victims of racism and injustice to figure out how to not be victimized. That onus belongs to those wielding the power.

 

[Kevin Musto]

That's my captain

 

[CallMeShaft]

That's my captain

I eagerly await Strome's generational post.

lmao

In all honestly he probably remains silent on the matter. Also his Instagram is private now. Regardless, he wouldn't post anything as eloquent as what Toews did.

Hopefully everything stays alright. But my guess is the north,west and south side is in for a rough night of damage and looting.

seems likely, already helicopters flying around for the last hour plus

 

[Toews2Bickell]

imagine if this is true

 

[hawksrule]

Military police presently firing tear gas at peaceful protestors in front of the WH.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

imagine if this is true

It would be entirely on brand if it was. It can't be dismissed as fake news until there's an official denial.

 

[hawksrule]

Now rubber bullets.

 

[HawksBeerFan]

WGN has Trump talking about quelling violent protesters while video plays right next to him of police tear gassing peaceful protesters.

Absolutely disgusting.

Whole speech was about keeping "law and order" and "dominating" the streets. He's truly a pathetic leader.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

very pessimistic on america with this imbecile leading the way, desperate to stay in power as his presidency sinks into the abyss

 

[Mrfenn92]

Simple show of power that's all this clown has. Right from a f***ing dictators handbook.

 

[ChiHawks10]

This f***ing clown needs to go. Somebody carry his ass out of the WH and hand him to the protesters.

@BK how has the new job been? My wife got an offer today that she countered, but would probably even settle for their initial offer.

This should finalize our move to Denver.

Congrats to you both.

Came here exactly to see if this had been posted yet. WOW, what a captain you guys have. As if I didn't like him enough just because he's from Winnipeg. The fact that he admits fault in the beginning and says "I thought this way, too" is so important. This might be the best take I've seen from a white person on this whole racism topic and I can't believe it came from a hockey player.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Rumors circling on NextDoor, and other places, that the Bolingbrook Promenade and the houses around it are going to be hit tonight.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

what a sad sad time in this country's history

 

[Toews2Bickell]

he probably saw the people protesting there, said i want to walk over there clear out a path and then took a north korea style picture with a f***ing bible he's probably never cracked open in his life to prove a point that he is president 'law and order'...one beautiful law btw...how does this sitaution end well...more than half the country despises this guy and he thinks he's going to silence that group entirely and people will be complicit in his power grab...

whats also scary is his talk to 'activate' bill barr and prosecute protesters...trump said put them in jail for 10 years and it will stop...that's not how it f***ing works in this country but i guess the walmart dictator thinks he'll give it a try...because as he likes to say 'what do ya have to lose'...
