A man was out of his car and viciously beaten to death over a traffic infraction. My go-to response was to be shocked and horrified
His go to response we'll just to say oh well it's just an excuse for riot's
It's almost as if it doesn't require religion to have empathy for another human being or something
Also you're comply or submit argument is literally the exact opposite because a lot of Christians in America think that anything less than 100% compliance to their demands equates to them being persecuted
Actually most of my friends are Christian and don't behave like some of the people on this forum
Okay, sure.
Again people, this guy redefines terms, like bigotry, and uses that as his cudgel.
He focuses solely on the mainstream media's reportage, which slants left to hard-left, and ignores any balance to such a presentation. With this incomplete or even misinformed narrative, he thinks he has a right to judge and condemn us.
He says we have religious freedom, even if we are forced to service a same-sex wedding or a transition party, because we can still keep our beliefs in our minds. Just don't practice it in public! What this blind man doesn't give two flips about is that forcing us to support such an activity constitutes a sin against our God, which
is a denial of our religious freedom. But that's okay, because like the 12th century Catholic Church he'll condemn, he's dogmatically right, and anyone not toeing his fascistic line is to be punished.
People like him call our beliefs innately bigoted, and accuse us of hiding behind our beliefs in order to be haters. "Hate" to the pagan / Leftist means "disagreement" with the pagan / Leftist. You don't DARE have a differing opinion from ours, or we will self-righteously condemn you! However, it is his side that is hiding behind the language of freedom and fairness as a cloak for their hatred against us.
You don't get to redefine words and be taken seriously in a debate. You don't get to tell us that we must sin against our God or we're deserving of destruction. You don't get to tell us how fair- and freedom-minded you are, while you condone the punishment of those who exercise that freedom in a manner you don't like.
As for the original topic, these cops, by everything I've seen up to this point, were in the wrong and will be appropriately dealt with. Good. However, I do not rush to get on these bandwagons for a few reasons.
1. Too often, as in the Ferguson incident for example, there was an extenuating circumstance that the "mainstream" media did not report, like the suspect was actually endangering the life of the police officer. I've come to not take these stories too seriously until the news media in general has vetted them out.
2. This is not a systemic problem, as the Dudes of the world want us to believe. According to the Leftist propaganda outfit, the Washington Post, yes, even they reported that between 2019 and 2020 (I believe this was the two-year range they cited), a total of 30 unarmed black Americans were shot by police officers. 30, across two years, and 830,000 local police nationwide, with
millions of interactions between the police and civilians, is hardly a systemic problem. But, if you listen to CNN or MSNBC or The NY Times, and their disciples like Dude, you would think that these incidents are not happening once every 24 days, but that they're happening 24 times PER day.
Until this becomes an actual systemic problem, I am far more concerned about the cultural Marxism infiltrating our schools, how incidents like this are used by media and politicians alike to divide (and conquer) the US, about drag queen freakin' story hour, about racial segregation being reintroduced into our public schools by the same enlightened liberals who condemned it for decades... and how in general public employees and officials and news media personalities are all inverting our nation's moral compass. This is far, far more alarming and dangerous to the survival of the United States than the occasional incident of a few cops who got too big for their badges and will in all likelihood pay a lifelong price.
Is Dude worth debating or arguing with? I've given my best arguments as best as I can. I am not the best debater or apologist for my beliefs, but I've thrown my best logic out there. But, when my counterpart refuses to watch an alternative source provided for balance, or doesn't understand the definitions of bigotry, freedom, or oppression, and continues to close his eyes deliberately, it becomes a waste of time to continue further. His heart needs to be changed and opened for a real, meaningful conversation to take place.
No need to reply to that, just rambling.
