Media bias is hilarious...

[Vic Vega]

Case in point, USAToday's coverage of "protestors".

A man throws a trash can at the window of a building in Oakland during a protest after George Zimmerman was found not guilty.

Apparently the only thing I have to do to be allowed to commit random acts of violence is to "protest" something.

Pathetic...

Hey, it's protected by the first amendment right!!!

 

[MagickMan]

I'm pissed! Let's tear up our own town, where we live, making it more of a shithole than it already was!! That'll teach `em!

Fucking stupid people.

Fucking stupid people.

Same people who choose to be willfully ignorant of the facts in the Zimmerman case and buy into the false media narrative.

Doesn't surprise me one bit.

 

[Zebo]

What makes you think they'll let up? They pushed this false narritaive for months now.
1. sells
2. keeps them from doing real reporting like Benghazi NSA police state economy etc and protects thier politicain obama.
3. Pushes their liberal narrative on guns and so called white privilege.

They'll continue this stuff even if the whole country riots and ends up into a giant bloodbath.

I don't know about other states, but in mine this shit simply leads to more firearm sales and less restrictive gun laws. They push, we push back harder. If they keep this up our legislators will do away with CWPs within the next year (it's already being discussed in committee).

Lol. I'm watching all the back and forth, but I'm in Delaware. Nothing significant ever happens in Delaware.

During Obama's gun control push the state managed to get universal background checks instated... and no one really cared, because Delaware seems to have a serious case of moderate-due-to-apathy.

Is it because 10 people live in the whole state and 9.99 of them are white?

If the guy pictured in the OP was supporting GZ, he'd be a violent racist destroying personal property. However, since he supports TM, he's peacefully protesting unfair racism in the judicial system

I don't understand your "media bias" point here. First of all, your caption doesn't describe this man as a protester. It says he did this "during a protest." I'm not really sure what you want. If the caption merely says, "common criminal throws trash can" then there is no connection made to the protests. If anything, that would show media bias in favor of the protesters by dis-associating the criminal activity from the protest. It seems to me that linking the criminal act with the protests does not really favor the protests. So it's the opposite of what you're suggesting.

So what again are you arguing here?

You haven't seen Wilmington. Seriously, I've intentionally run stop signs there because I didn't want to risk stopping near the people who were standing by the crosswalk. It isn't all bad, has some great restaurants, but there's a lot of problems there. And yes, it's ~60% black.

 

[Attic]

That's a nice toss actually.

Good form.

You've really made a home in the conservatard bubble, eh?

Is he wearing a... <gasp> a HOODIE???! I hope he's being ironic.

 

[Thebobo]

Analying the picture I have some questions

Where is it so cold someone has to wear a vest?

What kind belt is that? Does not seem the type of belt for protesting.

Those look like dress shoes not protest shoes.

Fast food worker pants?

All in all a very confusing array of clothing not your typical anarchist protest attire.

Probably file footage from the last Raiders game. "C''mon, we all know Oaklanders are rioting, do we really need to go out there when we've got millions of feet of perfectly good Oakland riot footage?"

Suggested caption: IDIOT ATTEMPTS TO LOOT EMPTY STORE.

Oakland stays cool even in the middle of July, their high today is mid-60's.

I officially don't "get it". Looking through the images of all the people crying over the verdict, I mean, just because Zimmerman was found not-guilty does not mean children will be gunned down in the streets tomorrow. And conversely, if Zimmerman by some bizarro logic had been found guilty, that does not mean children are safe from being gunned down in the streets tomorrow either.

At least the small stores are finally seeing some foot traffic and business.

Also curious about that...

Actually according to the verdict it is now open season on black kids. If you are white you get to gun the down at your leisure and the law has made that very clear.

It's ok. Your stupidity means you can't see your racism, and your racism means you can't see the issue. And the former means there's really no point in trying to explain it. It's over your head.
