Good.
Twitter is actually standing their ground against him. I guess waging war on Twitter is more important to Trump than dealing with nearly 100k deaths. But hey, if that's the hill he wants to die on, than by all means, let us watch him dig his own grave.

"“These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!” "

he said when the looting starts so does the shooting. At the same time that other notable blue checkmarks said things also inciting violence but weren't censored

No need. I can read. It's just awkwardly phrased. Sensitive much?

Sorry I don’t normally post things, this just has a lot of my emotions running. I tried to be as concise as I could. Sorry I failed.

He is right though. If someone was looting my shop i would shoot them on spot like what yesterday happened.

You don't shoot someone for theft. You shoot someone for robbery.
Looting is theft in a large crowd. When you have a large crowd you have a higher chance of innocent people being caught in the crossfire.
When you say you want to bring in a large group of police or military to open fire on looters, you are literally asking for innocent bystanders to be hit, whether it is by mix up or by a stray bullet.
You have to understand what led the people to get to this point, what the percentage of rioters are actually doing these things, amongst so much more. The president has no place in making a statement as such. Because first it can be open fire on looters. Than its open fire on rioters. Than it's open fire on peaceful protestors before long. You cannot allow this slippery slope to happen. Because it can happen and it will happen with a president like this.

Lol dont make excuses for these shit human beings stealing stuff in the name of an actual victim of police. And if i would see 10 black guys with stones or some sort of stuff in their hand running to my shop i would definitely have the right to shoot them. dont make up bullshits my friend.

And you would be behind bars for the rest of your life for being a racist and specifically calling out only black people in these comments. Good job you fucking moron

Yes, because thats a threatening robbery. But you can't go and shoot someone for stealing a pair of shoes from your store if they don't pose a threat to you. But again, the key factor is the difference between YOU doing it and a group of police doing it.

As a Marine who swore an oath to protect our country from enemies, foreign and domestic, I NEVER thought the enemy would be our own commander-in-chief. This is appalling, pathetic, and literally destroying our country, democracy, freedom, and life.
I do not understand how so many do not understand these are Americans, these are Citizens who happen to have a darker skin tone. Skin tone should NEVER reduce, hinder, take away ANY rights. This is truly appalling and pathetic.
I feel true shame that this is where we are.
Edit: missed an “a”

Baffling. Imagine visiting another planet dominated by a single race of intelligent beings which all possess a similar level intelligence, speak the same language and have the same anatomy. Only difference? Some are blue and some are green. Just imagine how fucking stupid it would look if the blue skinned were killing the green skinned because they thought they were the superior race, even though they’re the same race. Humans are fucking stupid.

Tragic that the military is just a tool for him to spread more terror and fear, even though we swear to protect our country from enemies, foreign and domestic. What do we do when our enemy is our leader
