How do we get the Trump supporters to understand that if they go back to burning crosses and lynching black people they'll be just as bad as the Dallas shooters?

They seem to think they have a right to behave the same way they did when they were fifteen and  used to go to Klan rallies with their Dads and Uncles.

    The last incident was not about group riots.  IT is far more insidious.  It is about one man who was NUTS again.

    One man who is nuts has caused all this hoopla.   Not any groups we can go after. Not racists, or cop haters. 

    ONE NUT.   Can end the world.   He was some ahole that didn't like the fact that his kid was taken from him (THANK GOD FOR THAT KID) and placed with his parents.  SO he bought an armored van and went ballistic.   How do you defend against that?   You address what is causing morons to breed and produce these nutbags and throw them into society.   You find junior when he is just beginning to act up and address why and try and stop it.

    It sounds like an impossible, herculean task but, unfortunately that is the reality of it.   We need to breed a better group of people or we are all doomed sooner or later by the millions of NUTBAGS out there who don't even know what racism is.  They are too nuts to remember.

    Thrifty, this man is right-on.  Take your head out of the sand.  This group is nothing but inbred haters of all things black, cop, terrorist, and you name it.  They are not good people.    Don't tell me you are pro-Trump.  I don't want to think you are like that.

    Did you run into Mr. Trump at the last Klan rally that you were at?

    @Sharonna -- Please go back and check on your sources. As I noted in another thread, the armored car/child custody guy was LAST YEAR. He has NOTHING to do with the recent shooting at the BLM protest rally.

    [Can't remember first name] Boulware = Armored car guy who assaulted Dallas police officers in JUNE 2015.

    Micah Johnson = Guy who shot/killed Dallas police at BLM rally in JULY 2016.

    I'm sorry, but your "question" is bulls**t.

    Yes, there is substantial evidence that the political right in the USA exploits racism and xenophobia for political gain.

    Yes, it's true that (statistically speaking) surveys show Trump supporters have a variety of bigoted/racist/nonsensical view (e.g. Obama is a Muslim).

    But to characterize all Trump supporters as Klansmen is just as bigoted and stupid as when one of the Usual Suspects claims the actions of Micah Johnson (the Dallas cop shooter) reflects the attitudes/beliefs of all Black Lives Matter members/supporters.

    Don't fall into that pit of stupidity.

    LOL  Holy crap. I did THAT?  I'll see why I went nuts here.  Sorry.   I guess I am going TOO FAST for my own good with this stuff.

  • Exactly right AI... not to mention left wingers who liked to block roads and make cars who were trying to get by on the highway swerve in other directions. Amazing. I've seen one or two confrontations by Trump supporters but the larger violent protests go to the left wingers.
