Where were the All Lives Matter folk during the Hong Kong protests? During Hurricane Maria? During the internment of the Uighur Muslims? During the currently ongoing oppression of the Palestinian people? During the hundreds of thousands of human beings losing their lives to covid-19?Seeing alot of "All lives matter" on Twitter from the usual kind of people. So I think it's time to dust off this old gem.
They've been starting to spread smaller areas. There's a city near me that has a bunch of protests and I wouldn't call it a big city
There's demonstrations in Brooklyn near Prospect Park but it's seems to be winding down.
They'll make sure they do. And if not, they'll just recruit more child soldiers.

Yeah there's pushing and shoving. They're also hitting protestors with their batons and rubber bullets at their feet. Not sure what started it though.
40% unemployment means we could see this persist much longer than it normally does... especially with the typical distractions work, television, movies, sports all predominantly out of commission.
Ah fuck, it has begun. Wear strong eye protection, people.
Yeah, no shit. I remember the Greek riots when cops there shot and killed a 16 year old. Molotovs were flying all night and a few cops actually got severe burns. I was in highschool at the time and I still remember it.
The revolutionary left in the US has been pretty much destroyed completely through red scares, purges, arrests and straight up assassinations by the US government, and it hasn't existed as meaningful political force in the US for quite a while.
Thats what the police do they instigate shit then blame protesters for the violence.
The sole saving grace is that the predominant COVID-19 transmission hot spots have all been enclosed indoor spaces. These protests being outdoor gatherings mitigates that somewhat.
Yeah, but what else can people do? Just sit down and let the death of another black man at the hands of police go unanswered?
