Thanks - yep no outrage no protests. Guess that wasn't the point. jmg257 Jul 2020 #39

Were they killed by the cops? maxsolomon Jul 2020 #50

I get that. Though a TINY fraction compared to violent crime deaths, its a problem that matters. jmg257 Jul 2020 #52

The mayor and the girl's father said it was members of "our own community." cwydro Jul 2020 #19

That's not the same as protestors. There are opportunists blm Jul 2020 #32

"Armed barricade keepers" is all we can really tell from sparse reporting. Protestors involved... jmg257 Jul 2020 #42

Oh, I agree that they are opportunists. cwydro Jul 2020 #48

Seems like it was "protestors" - at least was "members of the community" according to mayor. jmg257 Jul 2020 #17

Heartbreaking. PandoraAwakened Jul 2020 #6

Interesting thread in that some posters used this tragedy to attack DU. Kingofalldems Jul 2020 #9

Interesting that you'd see it that way. HotTeaBag Jul 2020 #10

Yes indeed. cwydro Jul 2020 #20

Seems cause and affect just might temper comments? jmg257 Jul 2020 #27

Well post the article for those then. Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Jul 2020 #40

No idea what your point is. But sure I'll post as a separate post. Fla Dem Jul 2020 #41

Wondering if TrumPutin are swamping inner cities with cheap drugs blm Jul 2020 #12

Why? Because inner city violence is something new?? Don't think trumps help is needed, really. jmg257 Jul 2020 #44

The uptick is similar. No one said it was 'new' but you. blm Jul 2020 #47

That's what a question mark is for - ask a question. I know the answers so may be rhetorical. jmg257 Jul 2020 #53

Ok - armed people were protecting a barricade they put up and shot an 8yr old over it? WTF?!? jmg257 Jul 2020 #15

Atlanta Journal Constitution had an article about these "protesters." cwydro Jul 2020 #21
