Corona 19 thread

Sorry about the posts. I vent with humor rather than on fellow peeps.

Probably a repost... definitely thought provoking.
Most folks didn't have a problem with him protesting. The problem was that it was not on his own free time assembled with others at the place with which his grievances were directed. He hijacked his company's time and done it during the National Anthem which has ZERO to do with police brutality and was highly offensive to people of every race, creed, and religion.

In my previous posts about conservative protests, where were they protesting? That's right, they went to the state capitol and directed their grievances toward the government and peacefully petitioned for change, without disrespecting an entire nation's heroes that fought and died for that flag! Plus they did this on their own free time. They didn't do it at work, they didn't block traffic, they did it the way it is supposed to be done.

Can you admit the difference at least??

Why CAN’T he protest where and when he wants?

Isn’t the act of protest pretty much protected the first amendment of the constitution?

Is it because he’s doing it on ‘company time’? Did the company have any issue with this? Is it YOUR company? Why is his protest on company time your business?

What’s more symbolic that protesting oppression than during the most ‘Freedom *** Yeah!’ song ever written in the English language?

Land of the free? Not for everyone...

Home of the brave? Not all the time...


How IS kneeling ‘highly offensive’? And to boot, it’s ‘highly offensive’ to people of ‘every race, creed and religion’?

You must have done some serious research, sample studies and all that scientific science-y stuff to come to that conclusion...

Feel free to PM me your actual data and results to that vague and sweeping statement... I’d love to read up on your methods...


As for the ‘peaceful’ protest ... is it the Michigan one?

Because there was nothing especially ‘peaceful’ about it when a bunch of highly armed cosplayers locking down the entire building. They may or may not have directly threatened people with their guns, but it’s undoubtably intimidating.

And those gents screaming in the Policemen’s face ... classy!

Not to mention the roads being blocked and hospitals crippled in ‘Operation Gridlock’...


I’ll definitely admit there’s a difference between the two forms of protest...

One was a subtle yet startling (to the faint of heart) gesture made on the National (World?) stage to protest the injustices he’s witnessed on one way or another

The other was a ‘Shock and Awe’ form of protest ... disrespecting the law, law enforcement and frontline workers; all topics which tend to be highly regarded in a Conservative POV.

He made it everyone's business by protesting while on his employer's time during live television broadcasts. Your attempt at a point there is moot!

Was it MY company, no. Did HIS company agree with him doing it? Obviously not, they're not doing it anymore.

Is it, in the essence of the idea, right to use a company's time for personal protests? No! Is it anyone's right to protest while on your employer's time? No!

Is it one's right to protest? Hell yeah! On their own time, in the proper venue, in a peaceful manner.

What part are you seriously trying to argue??

Because he was on his job..... and instead of standing during the american national anthem, which you are supposed to do, he went the complete opposite way and went to one knee......incredibly disrespectful to America.

Of course you have no problem with that, you are canadian, and apparently do not have close ties to your country . And i bet you are not as proud to be a Canadian as most americans are to being an american.
I am proud of my country, and if anyone did this kneeling sh it i would be upset too, we all would be here.

Don't be mad just because you don't have the love of your country like many americans and europeans have.
 
Not to mention, the idea of what they're supposedly 'protesting' is something that conservative minded Americans have been complaining about for decades and actively trying to effect change....regardless of the skin color of the victim! No knock raids have killed more innocent white people in the last year alone than the hyper-politicized incidents you see on the news involving minorities.

I've personally been involved in petitioning local law enforcement to hold their own accountable for misconduct. Police brutality and policing methods and procedure isn't a black problem alone. White people die at the hands of the police at more than twice the rate. If the bigoted left wing dullards would stop feigning outrage only when it suits their agenda and be consistent across the board with all police misconduct then less people of ALL skin color would be victims of the police!

Please tell me where I'm wrong based on facts, not your feelings.

Hope everyone has a great day and stays safe! 🤙

Excellent post.

I left the patriotism out of my response though, because that's largely based on feelings and opinions. It's not ethical nor is it a 'right' to use another person's/entity's time for your personal protests. That is an irrefutable fact!!

Any American is entitled to their right of protest on their OWN time and only if it's done in accordance with the laws and it's done peacefully. That also is an irrefutable fact!

Now imagine being in the position that you are defending...the burning down of innocent people's businesses, the destruction of innocent people's neighborhoods, the beating of innocent people in the streets, the stealing of innocent people's belongings/goods...then ridiculing and criticizing other people peaceably petitioning their government for change and invoking outrage because the peaceful people had big scary guns, GASP 😟....and expecting sensible people to take you serious and respect your 'opinion.'
