I made a small donation to Capt. David Dorn's memorial a few days ago. Dorn was the 77 year old retired police chief that was murdered by rioters/looters during a George Floyd protest. https://fundly.com/captain-david-dorn-memorial-fund
The fund has raised a little of $300k

I was curios to see how much money has been raised for George Floyd: A little over $13 million! The target was to raise $1.5 million. https://www.gofundme.com/f/georgefloyd

A separate fund has been created for George Floyd's daughter and it's raised nearly $1.8 million.

The disparity in funding is interesting and disturbing. You got to wonder where that $13 million is going. On the Gofundme site for George Floyd, it states:

This fund is established to cover funeral and burial expenses, mental and grief counseling, lodging and travel for all court proceedings, and to assist our family in the days to come as we continue to seek justice for George. A portion of these funds will also go to the Estate of George Floyd for the benefit and care of his children and their educational fund.​

The famous boxer, Floyd Mayweather, is paying for George Floyd's funeral: https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...weather-pay-george-floyds-funeral/5314652002/

Separate fund collecting for George Floyd's daughter, so it seems like a surplus of funds will be available. I hope they are used wisely and honorably................time will tell.

I don't have a problem with peaceful protesters, even if I may not agree with them.
Protesters that block the streets, and potentially commit acts of violence against me or my vehicle, will be bulldozed out of the way.
It can work both ways. Eye for an eye

While I don't agree at all with your "speed bumps" comment. I do agree with the batshit part.

As much as I despise crowd funding, and GoFundMe accounts, maybe all those that are donating to the Floyd cause, can put money towards rebuilding all the businesses and lives that were destroyed by the idiots of this country?

That would certainly be a fresh initiative.

I wonder how much of it is counterfeit- which was the original problem.

Saw this and it pretty much sums it all up ....

Civil unrest must be good for business, my Local Farm and Fleet is sold out of 9mm and 223/556

In Wyoming all the shops are full, business as usual, no gouging or long lines. No panac buying even when the Chineese flu forst hit. Wyoming residents are prepared.

Just had dinner with friends in Phoenix Thursday ... they went to Cabellas earlier in week ... could not walk up to gun counter .... had to get a number .

Decided to have lunch first . Went back after lunch to be told no more numbers for rest of the day ... so pretty much booked out.

The scary thought is we are having people lining up to buy guns that never owned one before ..... maybe not even sure how to use it .... and why ??? . Because they are affraid . And so they should be ... Police are being portrayed as the enemy .... and calls for defunding them . So we might be left with no option but to defend ourselves.

So people are running to buy guns and ammo more than TP a few weeks ago !

I do believe this should open some eyes in the USA and bring back some sanity ........

I keep hearing that things will be better than ever "when we get to the other side". I keep wondering just what the other side looks like. I hope I'll be able to recognize it when we get there.

America is exporting these protests to the whole world, but only to big cities. I live in a small town and all is peaceful, we are not doing quarantine.

 

[DieJager]

I am a small goverment guy. A rare breed where I live. I am all for localism. If the protesters in Amsterdam , and for you guys in left wing cities in the USA want to abolish the police let them. Let them live in their own Utopia ( distopia within a few weeks). On the condition they live in it. Within a few months they are hardcore right wingers.

Now I see headlines that say Trump is being abandoned by the establishment Republicans and that "polls" show Biden has the lead and is expected to win in November. I don't know how anyone could write a more bizarre novel. Just consider, the DemonRat candidate is in name only since he will be considered incompetent to be president within a few months (at most) of inauguration, making his Vice running mate the new president. And just look at whom that would be- a list of really incompetents the main criteria for selection was that they were at least partially black and alleged female.

I guess if George Soros and his cronies want to run the world I guess it's better to let them try it now rather than wait until everyone is listed in a facial recognition database and possibly locator chips that were involuntarily installed by the new order and there is no escape. At least now the resistance would have a chance.

To those who believe that the riots following the tragic death of George Floyd were unscripted, do I have a bridge for you! The mayhem perpetrated by radical left-wing groups such as BLM and Antifa (per A.G. Barr) were well planned and well supplied. The domestic terrorists learned several important points from their nights of mayhem:

1. They have the backing of Democrat politicians.

2. They have the support of the Democrat cadres: guilty white liberals.

3. Bored college kids will turn out in force for the demonstrations/riots to lend energy.

4. Their message, that America is a racist nation that must be fundamentally changed, and that police forces across the nation should be defunded, was resonant and effective.

5. By and large, conservatives went into hiding (except Tom Cotton and President Trump).

To a revolutionary, this is the perfect situation: strong support for the cause with weak opposition. Consequently, the next riots will not be as limited in scope or as constrained in levels of violence. Leftists sense that their moment is now, while America is weakened by the coronavirus. There is blood in the water.

What is the purpose of the riots? one might ask. The answer is political power. The anarchy may be a dress rehearsal for even more destructive riots to come later in the year, forcing governors to close polling stations as unsafe and order mail-in ballots for the general election in November. Democrats can then commit fraud on a national scale and steal the election for Biden. The Biden administration can then cover up the leftists' Deep State coup against President Trump to complete the work that a HRC victory in 2016 was supposed to accomplish and that the successful Stormy, Mueller, impeachment, and lockdown operations were designed to delay and deceive until Biden is installed. The ultimate purpose is to transform America into a communist state.

What many Americans may not fully realize is that a coup has also taken place in the Democrat party and that the socialist far-left wing has won. Biden, the moderate, may have taken the primaries, but now he must pick a socialist with ties to Bernie Sanders, someone such as Elizabeth Warren, as his V.P. She will become president once Biden steps down, as he surely will, at some early point in his presidency. Then the socialist coup will be complete, and they will begin their work.

We all know how that story goes.

They said Billary was going to win in 2016 too. So what if some people who didn't vote for him in 2016 don't vote for him again.

The big problem, is the GOP has always been spineless, with a few exceptions. They have had multiple opportunities to turn the tide on the Dems. Cocaine Mitch, is the worst of the bunch. Lindsay Graham, is a two faced little weasle...I could go on.

The GOP needs to learn how to beat the Dems at their own game.

At least we agree on Mitch and Graham.

One unintentional consequence of the chaos is that with the police and politicians impotent, gun control is pretty much a dead issue.

As it should be!
