Good gosh, just let it be. There wasn't anything inflammatory about what he said.
So we should just "let it be" when the man who holds the most responsible/professional job in America says, "we'll just have to let it work itself through," in other words, have your protests and riots, I'm the president of the United States of America and I'm giving you the OK, and "black men are followed through department stores all the time," in other words, they're profiled. That last time I heard "let it be" was right after closing arguments. The black community (who obviously thought the race card would win them another) said, "Let's just all agree, no matter what the verdict is, that we can accept it and move on."
So, dawgitail, who REALLY needs to let it be?
When you have gangs of violent rioters beating up whites, beating up cyclists, breaking windows in court houses, stopping a mother from taking her 7 y/o to the emergency room BC she's having an allergic reaction to some medicine, it's tough to just "let it be." Got it?
You prove my point. He didn't give anyone permission to riot. He said protests were a part of the process. The black community would work through this. He certainly didn't give anyone justification to behave in a violent way.
He understands the reasons for the protests. This does NOT say, "There shouldn't be any protests" when it should, in fact, say that. He GAVE the OK for the protests, and they have only led to violence.
Saying that "It's just something that we'll have to work through" is his way of saying to deal with it and let it pass over. Ok sure, in the meantime, people get their cars jumped on, get punched and beat up in the name of a thug, a mother can't take her 7 y/o to the ER to keep her throat from swelling shut, and who knows what else will happen, violently, between now and the time that the "black community works through this." Grow up, you're all acting like a bunch of spoiled crybabies, and the president isn't helping one bit, he's just feeding them right along. How can you just look past all of this?
Oh I know, because some "white" guy killed a black guy and the facts, paired with evidence let the "white" man off so the blacks are hard up on refusing to believe facts and evidence, thus leading to violent protests and riots. GOTCHA.
So let me get this straight. You are opposed to protests? I personally feel strongly about supporting our Bill of Rights and Amendment one assures our right to "the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." If unlawful acts occur then there are laws to deal with that, but the idea of telling people that they can't protest because something might happen is totally un-American.
Yes, I am opposed to protests. They are pointless. They mean nothing, and they are a complete and utter menace. They aren't gonna bring Trayvon back, they aren't going to convict Zimmerman of murder.
Let me ask you this, do you consider beating a jogger up because he's white, unlawful? Do you consider storming the Houston Courthouse and breaking windows out unlawful? Do you consider stopping people from going to or from work, the store, or the ER unlawful? Do you consider punching a lady in a minivan unlawful, just because she's trying to take her daughter to the emergency room and rolled her window down to ask them to move? Do you consider jumping on passerby's cars and cop cars and hitting them with signs an unlawful act?
Just curious this has all happened during these "peaceful, nonviolent" protests and not a f*cking thing has been done.
