Merv's Politically Incorrect Audio Blog

You cannot possibly say it with the correct emphasis.
The whole scenario is bullshit: first get lazy about police protection for the Capitol Hill, do not push back on the crowd when they are walking through the barriers and then...open fire when they are at the door. Brilliant crowd control strategy, why would be bother with a proper policing of a large demonstration if we can go to directly to the Tiananmen Square scenario.

So police would open fire, presumably kill full bunch of unarmed people who could be easily controlled and dispersed id anyone had brain there, and then what? You have martyrs and guns blazing in half of the American cities.
Brilliant, very similar to protecting His Holiness The Dalia Lama from Chinese invasion. And perfect start for Joe Biden.

 

Nonsense. Obviously correct crowd/protest control would be preferable but that didn’t happen and when people were endangering Congress deadly force by all precedents set by our country should have been used.

there’s no f'ing way a crowd of black or brown skinned people would have gotten anywhere near the chamber.

Also if there was no second impeachment and when there is no conviction it will set a dangerous precedent for what future presidents are able to do. Really scary path this takes us down.

 

they weren’t storming the capital in DC or threatening Congress.

 

I’m not sure I agree that's why they didn’t shoot. It wasn’t tactical. They didnt feel like they could because the crowd was all white people with Trump gear. If it was brown people screaming about Allah they would have shot at the doorway bottleneck into the chamber until the crowd retreated.

and furthermore if the rally was for BLM or some Muslim cause the Capital Police would have been prepared properly in the first place.

the whole thing stinks of systemic racism.

and I don’t understand why 1/6 has become political and partisan. 9/11 wasnt. But as soon as the GOP fucks up it’s nothing but excuses.

 

They’re wrong because they shoot people of certain color and treat people of another color with kid gloves. If they either shot nobody or everybody, they wouldn’t be wrong.

 

To be clear what I was calling bullshit on was not your speculations about policing and crowd control, but the above racialist ideology. It's reaching cult proportions now. Have a question about politics, or your love life, or which breakfast cereal you should eat and which HP you should try next? Just consult your local racial theorist. It makes perfect sense because EVERYBODY knows it all boils down to (neo)racism. Anyone who disagrees must be racist!

 

Your a cultist. EVERYTHING boils down to race for you, even right and wrong, good and evil, truth and falsehood. A cultist is someone who simplifies everything down to a single unquestionable principal

 

I guess we disagree.

I don’t understand the lack of seriousness here. It’s Congress. This was Domestic Terrorism. We’ve shipped brown skinned people off to Guantanamo for a life sentence and torture for much much less.

I don’t know why exactly you chose Texas but I’ve never questioned it because I’m not you. I want you to be happy. An ex girlfriend of mine who I still really love lives in Montana and is surrounded by Trump supporters and “save the children” rallies. She loves it there and thinks I would too. I loved living in Alaska and it’s right wing generally. Aside from the real extremists, people are people. Then again I haven’t traveled in post Trump America.

I hate living in the Bay Area and most of California that I know.

 

youve got me and my speculation very wrong. Sometimes things are racist. And this is one of those times. I see racism at play here to a large extent. I don’t see it everywhere. Calling me a cultist is laughable.

when one set of actions or principles is applied to one race and not another it is called racism.

You remind me of analmort in some ways.

 

So you don’t think that protecting members of Congress warrants a violent/deadly response if necessary?

Again, this isn’t the same as police brutality in general. This is Congress and the DC Capital.

With regard to racism, seeing racism and identifying it and acknowledging it is the only way to change it. It should be acknowledged here. From the lack of preparation from the leadership (who rightfully resigned) to the reaction by the police.

we are very lucky this insurrection was led by idiots and nothing too bad happened because they had no real plan. Pence could have been strung up on a rope and Pelosi could have been assassinated. And more. Instead they acted like monkeys and spread their poo on the walls. But the police didn’t know that. This was a serious threat to Congress and just pushing back on the barricades is not the response that any country would have to this threat without something getting in the way. In this case, the only thing I see as a possibility is race (I open mindedly look at the situation and I can’t see any other explanation for the discrepancy between the threat and the response - no @crenca im not looking for racism)

or you can claim that the entire capital police force are a bunch of pacifist wimps but I doubt that.

 

No I'm not a cultist. I simply know the statistics. Find any source you consider reputable and look at the likelihood of a black man being killed by police vs a white man. Depending on your source, it will be between 2.1 and 2.7 times more likely. So average of 250%.

Also, these fine patriots attempted to bring done the government of the United States. Not a Wendy's or local police precinct. The government of the United States.

 

I want to make this a debate about Waffles vs. Pancakes. I'm on Team Waffles.

Also problem with Black vs. White arguments: More White People in the US than anyone who is Black. Everyone keep talking about poor folks in Urban areas, but shit I seen tons of poor areas in rural areas (mostly White).

Also when who is on the Police requires AA and Race Requirements? I dunno, some of these arguments are silly and it isn't solving any problems (problem with Police Departments, they are doing waaaaay too much stuff that isn't IMO part of their jobs).

 

Of course protecting the member of Congress in session warrants using deadly force if necessary, but it was not necessary. Particularly using indiscriminate shutting of the crowd at the doors. And thanks God someone on the scene had enough brain left to make this determination.
