I imagine shady didn't want to use his actual words because they are reasonable and true. But I can't believe he still doesn't know how quotation marks work. That's covered in around Grade 6 and repeated regularly thereafter. What were you doing in class?

He paraphrased in his first post and gave you the exact quote in a video in the third.

Yet you have a problem with Shady but not with Joe. And now you're saying Joe's idea of Blacks not being as diverse in thought as blacks is actually true. That's kind of racist, don't you think?

At least Joe has the excuse of starting to lose his faculties in his old age. 

Black people have less diversity of thought is reasonable and true?  Prejudice much? 

Apparently racism is ok if it’s Biden!

Once things started going south, they were willing to make the precautions necessary without the government forcing them to because they are smarter than mask-defying Trumpers. You will notice they suffered the same economic devastation as everyone else.

They also took a hard hit to their population.  5,500 is quite a bit for a country with only 10 mil.  

I thought you were in favour of mitigation.  

Oh right. That was before I had to tell you what it meant.

He’s really not well.

Something is not right with Joe....his wife has become his go to surrogate and mouth piece.  

What fake news? Not even the local news source one of you linked to is alleging the Body Cam footage is fake. Your minor Minneapolis news source suspects it might be unauthorized not false. They know it's real. Apparently the regressive left doesn't want the public to see the body Cam footage, is all. 

That's something you two might actually have some expertise on. So tell us then, why is it you and yours are getting upset at people viewing the body cam footage?

If you had actually watched the Shapiro video you're feigning expertise on you would know he didn't say the cop is blameless. He worried that the Progressive media may have given a hysterical or at least hyperbolic impression of what happened by not waiting to see all the evidence before accentuating emotion inducing details and presenting them as the whole story. This gave a fake news or false idea that allowed the politically ambitious  to over-charge the  cop. Charging the police incorrectly (as they did in the Freddie Gray case) creates a worry that Chauvin or the other two will get off. Then the riots and the looting start up again. People like Ben and myself worry about that. Not you though. It doesn't seem to worry you two at all that the police may get off as a result of being charged incorrectly.Why is that? Looking  forward to more riots to blame Trump for, are you?

He also neglects to mention how they pulled out a gun on Floyd and his friend, and blames the media for a court ordered publication ban in a desperate attempt to smear the media.

Who neglected to mention the gun? Shapiro? If so, I really think you want to watch the video before making a joke of yourself by claiming you know what's in it. 

Not only does he discuss the gun he shows footage of it.

The ban on viewing a half hour of the multiple hours of Body Cam footage had been lifted but there may have been restrictions on re-posting clips from that half hour of footage to the general public - which is what the Daily Mail did. Shapiro reposted a minute or two clip from the Daily Mail at which point any legality gets even dodgier. Neither he nor any of the others who borrowed from the Daily Mail clip are being charged for anything so I think it's safe to say no law was broken.

Sounds like whataboutism.

Well you opened the door with the line " If Trump did it you’d be yelling about it."  

The response to that is. . . Trump does it all the time. 

Obama made it clear that the things John Lewis fought for are still an issue today. That's perfectly fair, Trump's name was never mentioned.

So they pulled out of the RNC event because of RNC incompetence and out of the Dem event because they aren't allowed to use tear gas in Wisconsin.  This is why links to information sources are important. 

No, not “they”.  100 police agencies didn’t pull out of the RNC.  They also endorsed Trump, after endorsing Clinton in 2016 and Obama in 2008 and 2012.  

Social distancing and masks are both forms of mitigation. You really didn't know that? You were heralding it a couple of days ago and now it's bullshit? What did you think you were talking about when you used the word "mitigation"? You were just repeating what you heard because you thought it made you sound smart?

Exactly.  So like I’ve said, the restrictions on church services, restaurants, funerals, weddings, etc are bullshit if wearing masks solves the problem, like with the John Lewis funeral.  Most if not all states have mask mandates.  So why are the restrictions still up?  Why do important  people not have to follow them?  Does Covid know not to spread among the John Lewis attendees?

Are the restrictions still up in "most if not all" of the states, like the mask mandates? Are they up at all anymore? 

I suspect you think we are still living under the same restrictions we were 3 months ago. Where have you been?

I think we agree on everything,  including how the Tulsa rally was extremely irresponsible. Why wouldn't they wear masks and keep their distance like the people at the Lewis funeral? Are they wannabe bioterrorists or just really stupid?

He is an empty sockpuppet waiting for the hand.

Liberal-style social progress.

Here's the probable reason Sophie and kids are living at Harrington Lake...5 years really changes a guy

Didn't he say covid was a hoax?

I don't remember.  I had to delete a couple of comments that were politicizing his death.  One of the parties commenting was really upset about the politicizing of a Trump supporter being shot and killed.  Apparently it's ok though to do it with Herman Cain.  Hypocrisy won't be tolerated. 

Deaths in the US also rose again yesterday. 

But as long as it wasn't as bad as in April when there was no treatment and mostly old people were getting sick, it's alright. 

I know.  California and Washington are still a trend upward in cases.  I'm not sure what you're arguing.  Unfortunately for people that got the virus early on, not much was known about how to treat it properly.  We now have the luxury of having much more information on the virus, how it's spread but more importantly how to treat it.  Imagine how many lives could've been saved if the experts hadn't told everyone in March, April and May, not to wear masks.

PPE inventory was in short supply then. It's amazing how industry has met demand. But in March and April there simply weren't enough masks for front-line workers and everyone else. 

Now you can get them in the Dollar Store. 

The worst of it certainly is.  Better treatments are leading to much lower fatality rates, and that will only get better as time goes on.  Also, vaccines probably aren’t too far off.  Regardless, people will be getting coronavirus for a long, long time, just like people get the flu every year.  

I hope you're right. I don't think you have any authority to make any claims of "certainty" though. That just indicates you don't know what you're talking about.

I disagree.  I’m basing my opinion on a couple of facts.  As the virus is studied more, experts learn more about it.  When experts learn more about it, they can treat it more effectively.  Also, necessary supplies for treating it, and preventing the spread of it can be produced more and made more widely available.  This was not the case when the virus came by surprise.  Shortages of all necessary equipment was widespread.  Also, vaccines look very promising.

The same guy that wanted to build a nuclear reactor in china and was shut down by the u.s? 

Wow.  

China needs no help from Gates in that regard.

Bubber fears a lot of things. I guess it's hard when you never get to come out of the basement.

I fear you will hurt yourself. Don't do it. I realize I hurt your feelings and self-esteem, but you have worth and I hate to see you this way.

1,245 deaths in the US yesterday according to Worldometer. That's the highest total since May 27th. Then most of the deaths were coming from New York still.
