As violent crime surges, how does the left respond?

And the left is just as extreme as the right is.

Extremism in the Republican Party is more popular than it is among Democrats and left-leaning independents. The '20 primaries demonstrated this. Trump's popularity in the GOP is much more fervent than Democratic support for extreme left positions. The Trump Republicans made their extremism mainstream.

Protecting yourself when a black person is trying to kill you is not in any way murder.

What if you mistakenly perceive someone as "black" — how would you know for sure? Would it be murder in that case? Or what if the black person trying to kill you is a cop? Then what do you do? I don't think one's right to self-defense should be race-related. I think that's called "racism".

If he wouldn't have resisted arrest, he wouldn't have been accidentally killed.

If he wouldn't have resisted arrest after walking in the street naked while high on PCP, he wouldn't have been accidentally killed.

Do you have any objections when such things happen to white people?

Or is it only bad when it happens to black people?

The Democrats are just as extreme.

Blind hatred of Mr. Trump is extremism.

It doesn't matter. Self defense is self defense.

No. Self defense is not murder.

Try to defend yourself.

It's not.

Yes. BLM are as racist as they come.

@oralloy,

Your twisted accounting of events deliberately obscures the race problem in America. That is your exact point, to change the narrative while disregarding facts.

@neptuneblue,

There is nothing twisted about my accounting of events.

The only race problem in America is the anti-white racism of the left.

Irrelevant facts are rightfully disregarded.

Inaccurate narratives are rightfully changed.

That sounds remarkedly like white supremacism.

This is a ridiculous statement. If you can't acknowledge the continuing racial inequality in out country, you are more an extremist than anyone.

There is a basic denial of reality here to say there is no problem with racial injustice.

Extreme right propaganda groups have tried to excrete this as mainstream. But it isn't.

@neptuneblue,

Reality is not propaganda.

It say a lot that you associate facts and reality with the right.

@maxdancona,

There is indeed a big problem. That problem is anti-white racism from the left.

That is both extreme and silly in my opinion.

My point for both you and Neptune is that is you can't acknowledge the valid points of the other political side, than you aren't being logical or reasonable.

@maxdancona,

Reality is neither extreme nor silly. It merely is.

I do think the left has some valid points. I like taxing the wealthy to a certain extent, and using that money to pay for social programs.

@oralloy,

And that is the racist answer to hate crimes.

@neptuneblue,

Progressives look pretty goofy (even goofier than normal) when they falsely accuse everyone of racism.

@oralloy,

I'm not accusing "everybody" of racism, just you as your cowardly views are evidence.

@neptuneblue,

Wrong. Progressives reflexively barf the same nonsense accusations at everyone.

You are the only coward present in this thread I might add.

@oralloy,

You, Oralloy, are denying the existence of racism.

There is no one else on this thread saying anything nearly as ridiculous or out of touch with reality than what you are saying.

If you want to make the argument that the left is just as extreme as the right...denying that racism exists sets a high bar of idiocy that the left is going to have trouble reaching.

@maxdancona,

Don't be silly. Denouncing racism is hardly denying racism.

Violent crime in America is all down to the country being awash with guns.

Texas has pretty much legalised roadside shootouts.

That is all down to the right.

Any police officer who cannot protect and serve the public without carrying out extra judicial killings of black men should look for another job.
