    Default Bloody Civil war

    I can't help but to wonder if or when a genuine violent civil war will break out in america. The two sides of the existing political war are already polarized and it does not appear that there is any hope in the future for the two sides to agree. All the civil unrest that we are seeing right now could very well be the beginning of a war with violence and bloodshed, a war that won't end until one side has been overwhelmed by violence and force. Anybody else sense that this is inevitable?

    I do not. The 60s riots were worse, and we got through it.

    i'd agree with most of that.
    But you're pretty much a victim if the law enforcers of the land can have a knee on your neck for nine minutes until you're dead while other cops and bystanders watch as you die.
    Then many good folks are more upset at the REACTION than the gov't murder.

    most black people don't want a war... just cops and gov't we can trust not be bullies and murders.
    And fellow citizens that can acknowledge the problems and help fix them.

    but that's "Hating America!" to some so
    I guess we'll just do the dance forever.

    Rev, is looting and burning things down and threatening the WH your idea of how to accomplish these goals?

    Do you think fellow citizens are likely to “acknowledge the problems and help fix them” when they see looting and burning and threatening the WH?

    There have been several deaths from these riots the past few days. It will be interesting to see how much people care about them.

    Would just let the Justice System work as designed. Outsiders, and intent trouble-makers perpetuated the anger, and generated the LAWLESSNESS. The officers have been fired, and the Murdering Cop has been arrested.

    At NO TIME in our consitution does ANY AMERICAN have the right, or power to become Judge, Jury, or Executioner. That's why we have a Judicial system that also punishes BAD COPS.

    No, I don't think that is whom you are.

    I know if I were younger and black, I'd want to protest. Heck, I would do so just as a human being and white. I wouldn't mind marching for equal treatment under the law for all even today.

    Here's my issue, the riots, not the protests, are causing a lost moment. A moment that a man was murdered for.

    I also truly believe that these young, angry men are once again being manipulated by antifa/OWS anarchists. It's a matter of time before more are killed and then what?

    I'm seriously concerned that MN is going to revise the charges against that cop and he's going to walk. Why? The idiots would rather cave then assume people can understand the rationale. Instead they're being told to 'trust us, trust me.' Ellison. He's black, so what? What has he done to lift the poor? He's all about him.

    Do you see two sides of a political civil war that we are already engaged in? If so, are you able to see two sides that are already polarized?

    But...it is not a "Civil War". This nation is too mighty, and the so-called anti-Americans are far outnumbered by those of us who will not allow our nation to fall under their MOB RULE.

    The Polarized numbers are high, but few when push comes to shove. Stop being so negative. That's what the MSM and Democrats rely on, and feed upon to succeed with their hatred, cheating and lying. Their only plan is to SCARE those Americans who claim to be perpetual Victims. You know? The same people in this nation, from all races who claim they are owed Reparations for what their past generations have lived through. Compare Reparations to Socialism and there is very little difference in the Imagined rewards of Getting Something for nothing because of the victimhood they demand is their Right.

    I percieve a "political" civil war that has been going on for some time that is not the same thing as the bloody violent civil war that I speculate about. In the political civil war, it would appear that the two sides are polarized, and I dont see the path to peace. I don't know if the unrest will escalate to bloody and violent all out war or not, but it often appears that it could go that way until one side is finally forced to surrender and submit.

    I didn’t, I don’t, but your post that I quoted made me respond. You said people are more upset at the reaction than the murder. That makes it sound like you are upset with anyone who is speaking out angrily about the looting, etc.

    I’m not even sure politics is at the root anymore, beyond the Antifa stuff. I feel like people are going crazy, and my fear is that white reaction to the looting will raise the beast.
