no, I'm talking about violent crime that is claiming lives by the thousands, like he is.

I know. It's a transparent deflection.

Not remotely. Asking where the idea came from that people should protest criminals is not the same thing as saying that only governments should be protested. Businesses are an obvious example of something that is not criminal or government, but can be reasonable to protest.


You had to be aware of that - it's right there in your reply.

there was no idea that people should protest criminals - the idea was that people should protest for the government to do something about violent crime rates, rather than protesting the government about boogeymen like police murdering minorities with impunity.

 

[Spartanmack]

They don't get qualified immunity or government sanction or anything to protest the government over. I guess maybe a person could protest defense lawyers if they were crazy, but the point was this isn't an action of the local government so why should the same standard to protest be expected?


You projected that into something it's not. You're still doing it. I never said, thought, or implied that cops get immunity from murder. That's your thing.

you clearly said it - what would they have to protest since civilian murderers don't get immunity. Well cops who murder also don't get immunity, so why protest at all then?

Still a deflection.

This is where you really lose me. I'm wondering if you really believe that or not - neither of which are good options, for different reasons.

Are you talking about me, or the hallucination of MC you're living with?

You and I?m not being even a little bit sarcastic.

Hmmm, detective investigating the Brooks case says he would have filed 10 counts against Brooks and none against the arresting officer who shot Brooks. The DA was just doing his job though, I guess.

Ha.

Back on page 111, post #1101, I suggested I figured this would end up being the case.
