    You know the progressive movement is in trouble when it’s members tie themselves in knots justifying a playground being burned. That will certainly be a part of its historic legacy @Enigma

    Of course I would be upset. Like BC said, I don’t like any of this. It’s less of me thinking “this is for the greater good” & more me thinking “there’s no other option left.” Id like to believe I’d share the same sentiments. I’m very much pro-rehabilitation when it comes to criminal justice & I have the same mindset. If someone who commits a violent crime, gets rehabilitated in prison, comes out & commits another violent crime, would I have the same mindset if the 2nd time, I was the victim? I’d like to think so!

    As for a line...idk. Black people are getting executed in the streets by state agents. That’s not even touching on the racial profiling, harassment, discrimination in courts, sentencing, prisons etc. I think black people have endured a lot of mistreatment in this country & continue to do so. I feel weird saying how they ought to protest or fight for their rights after all they’ve endured.

    ahhhhhhhhhhhh but children have a very skewed political compass and are susceptible to following or imitating their parents political views. all playgrounds must be burnt to the ground till this issue is addressed

    As of 30 minutes ago based on what I read, he has not invoked it...yet. The article said Trump doesn’t need local authority to deploy the military in DC, which is why he went ahead and did it. But if he were to deploy them across the country, like he’s threatening to do, he’ll need to invoke it. But as of like 30 minutes ago, he has not done it yet.

    Not that I’ve read. Apparently it involved national guard & police who fired into a crowd.

    He was probably talking about the 5 police officers that were killed 5 years ago... not JFK.

    Being a loser. I wish he’d say something in support of the protests, but we all know he’d put his foot in his mouth and say something disheartening.

    At least he didn’t use the moment to selfishly plug a song like Eminem did though.
