(20,043 posts)stop for two seconds and think of the frustration and anger that some are feeling at the in your face double standards. People were gassed, shot with rubber bullets, etc at the previous mentioned protests--unarmed I might add--and these guys are getting a fucking pass. They're breaking the law.
You keep saying violence isn't the answer--no maybe it isn't--but you and everyone else telling people to...shush it's being handled appropriately--is insulting, dismissive and condescending. They have a right to their anger and frustration and to express it without being told they're sick or wrong.
My first reaction was treat them exactly as you would if they were Muslim. But I think you know that would be a violent reaction...and that's the problem; The. fucking. double. standard. that's pissing everyone off.
I'm pissed. I'm sick of certain groups of people---armed white people,--being treated differently than other people--unarmed brown/black people. SICK. TO. FUCKING. DEATH. OF. IT.
So yeah, I will vent in anger, that doesn't necessarily mean I want a building full of people blown up. I do, however want some action taken, they're breaking the law.
I'd appreciate being able to vent my feelings without someone coming along telling me how wrong I am, how sick I am, or all the other things being said because my first reaction wasn't for a peaceful resolution for the fucking terrorists. Fuck. Them.
