The Truth
5 years ago
It's happened over and over again, someone messages me with the claim they want to "talk" or "debate" with my about my opinion, each time saying they wanted to change my way of thinking or saying they "strongly disagree with me" about my opinions because I DARED suggest that BLM protests grow violent sometimes from nothing but BLM protestors getting carried away, or that Antifa is a terrorist group that is betraying the US by usurping US soil.
Each time a person comes to talk to me I have not insulted their way of thinking, not resorted to name calling, not called anyone stupid or ignorant for thinking one way or another. But they have, every single one who messaged me hurtled an insult or two my way and even though we came to an agreement, that peace was more important, that people's lives mattered more than trying to force your opinion one someone...even if we came to a stop in our talks and agreed, the persons would wait a short amount of time, then send me a long huge note or essay about how stupid I was, then block me, punish me, kick me in any way they could, so instead of going through this five times over again and again here it is in plain words.
BLM
Let's get this out of the way, my home town was ransacked by BLM. I showed a few trusted people the footage and they went from "The FBI says right wing and police cause them to escalate" to "I am so sorry that happened" because there is nothing but footage of people waving BLM flags and signs just slowly devolving from a peaceful protest, to starting fires and putting people in danger, to starting a fight amongst themselves, and then looting, rioting, and destroying the place where I grew up.
Is this all BLM? No, it's not. The fact is on paper BLM is mostly peaceful, but not all of them. I brought up videos of them attacking hospitals with bricks, or fighting in the streets with no one but themselves. Of them attacking police even if they were just driving by. Many, many people in BLM are angry, violent people and to be honest? Almost everyone one I've seen carrying out this violence has been white or other just causing chaos in BLM"s name.
Solution? BLM protests need help, they need to be protected, they need to be guarded. BLM protestors, stop the violence when you see it happen, don't think someone is joking when they pick up a brick, END THAT now! Some BLM protestors have caught on that there are people moving from town to town just starting the fires to get people looting so they can get free stuff, do not let them do what they did to my home. Promote peaceful protest, be the change you want to see.
The Police
Let me say this, the police need help, something needs to change. I have seen videos of police just walking into a man's home and accusing him of being a burglar just because he was black, for no other reason than "We got a call" and yet they invaded his home, pointed weapons at him, treated him like a criminal without even asking his name. People get shot without cause, people get harasser without action, it's simply not okay.
This comes from people who have racist tendencies, either because they have worked in the job so long without anyone helping them vent, talk, or challenge their views, or they bring over hatred and racist tendencies from "family values"
I believe the police don't need defunding, they need more of it. They need mandatory therapy sessions, they need to be rotated out more so they don't work as many hours, they NEED stronger vetting so that corrupt officers can't just go from one town to another once they get fired for violent and hateful acts on the fore, when you're done, you're done.
They need to be more firmly trained as the peace officers they are meant to be, many of you suggest social workers, not realizing the police are supposed to be social workers! That is the point of the police. To protest and serve, not cuff and arrest or shoot on sight. This needs to be reestablished and people need to be trained further and need therapy, cause let's face it, they have the hardest job, literally dealing with the scum of the Earth, and that can destroy you over time, turning you into a cold, heartless being, they're humans too, we need to treat them as such and realize there are good ones, bad ones, and some that just need help.
Antifa
I am not going to say much, you know how I feel. This is a radical group, organized more than people say, with their own logo, set of beliefs, and mission statement. They try to usurp cities from government control and take over. That's treason, plain and simple. They are getting in the way of people's lives, these people destroy, take, and walk all over other people's rights to freedom and the pursuit of happiness for their own gain. They need to be disbanded, not a single person has made the argument to me that "95% of antifa protests are peaceful" flat out, because they're not. Instead people try to prove to me it doesn't exist, and groups like Proud Boys are the real threat. Well how do you think PB was made? They formed as a direct counter to Antifa, so now you have extreme and radical groups on both sides with violent beliefs and tendencies standing against each other and that's not okay. We need order, and we need help.
So, in summary. I believe in peace, I believe in protecting the innocent, I believe in using any means necessary to protect the lives of the innocent and those who are punished for the emotions and actions of others. merely because they're so infatuated with their own views they can't see the wrong they're doing. Whether it's unjust officers, hate filled rioters, or greedy looters or anything. People have a right to be free, to live life without fear of being stopped and attacked by random protests or officers who just stopped them cause "They looked suspicious" when we all know why they really stopped them.
Be yourselves, be open, be kind, be logical, do not just accept that your side is right and be blind to the other side, the other opinions, challenge yourself, challenge others, be HUMAN and remember, believing in something, fighting for a cause is fine, but the second you hurt someone innocent, the moment it becomes so much about your beliefs you start to take away the freedoms of others, it's not okay, as my old boss would say you do you, boo boo. Be yourselves, and be good people, we need more of you in this world.
Take care, guys.
