How much did the George Floyd case affect the rise in civil strife like store robberies by minorities?

[PlanetJosh]

Some liberal cities loosened robbery laws. So probably have to consider how much they were motivated by the Floyd video and trial.

So if there was no George Floyd video of the incident with the police would the current rise in lawlessness like smash & grab robberies never have happened anywhere near the level it is now?

Some will argue that it's not civil strife and that it's just making money. edit: Others will say it is civil strife or rebellion so we'll try to figure this thing out.

I wonder what has caused the trolls to come out all around the same time. Priming people for the 2024 election?

Absolutely. Russian disinformation in full force .

Aw come on there aren't even any nukes in the thread. And beside that progressives would seem to be in tune with the premise of the thread title.

Stupid thread is stupid. Robbery is a state crime and a felony. Cities can't "loosened robbery laws".

Is op the r word?

(I figure I should be able to use the r word when it's in a legitimate context, but alas, eye of the beholder, I just wont chance it.)

Appears to be on their own planet in their own reality.

What do you think about Putin?
Do you think Russia should be able to annex property from neighbors ?

Inquiring minds need to know.

I am having suspicion that the OP is an alt account of a spammer. Not going to point fingers to whom, but it is quite obvious who the account owner really is.

Can Putin be trusted?

So let's see, many on the forum are worried WW3 may happen and think some people have a warped or silly idea of how WW3 is going to happen. Is that important in the middle of an actual WW3?

Oh maybe very very few on the forum are worried WW3 may happen. Maybe a poll should be taken on it to see how many. But conducting such a poll would lend support to my posts to a degree. Which would look like I'm being taken seriously on some points. Can't have that now can we.

If most of the forum members say they are just engaging in good natured joking around with me then I would wind up looking like I'm accepted. Can't have that now can we.

And isn't complaining to admins about someone a little bit iffy. Now iffy isn't a ban worthy implication or word in this situation.

Please provide specific example of cities changing state laws on robbery.

There's this one but I'm not sure any city caused the state to change the law to a $950 limit. But I think the article implies cities applied pressure to the state.

Google “Shoplifting in San Francisco” and you will find more than 100,000 hits. And you will find lots of YouTube videos, where you can watch a single thief, or an entire gang, walk into an SF Walgreens or CVS and empty the shelves. Most walk in, go about their pilfering, and then walk out...

Yeah sorry I used robbery earlier. I meant shoplifting. So now you can say I have poor writing skills and get everyone to pile on that.

And how does your GF, and you by proxy, feel about the SMO in Ukraine?

Just so everyone is aware, it’s not just Russia, it’s also the Chinese. Both appeared to have increased their meddling in the mid term elections as well.

Foreign government efforts to target the 2022 US midterm elections appeared to grow compared with the 2018 elections, according to a declassified intelligence assessment released Monday, with a “diverse and growing group of foreign actors” participating.
