On second thought I guess I must be in a bubble cause I haven't seen a single report of a white supremacist or Proud Boy being shot by a black person in self-defense, I missed all of those, every single one. But following news of violent crime across the country for months now I have seen ample evidence of this, of black people having mass quantities of firearms, mostly handguns, legal and illegal, and using them to kill and maim other black people

In Chicago (and NYC and many other cities), >95% of shooting and murder victims are Black or Hispanic. It's unlikely we're going to lessen the harm if we're unaware of the data and Then lack the language to even talk it. https://t.co/GQeaiWQthg

(Above is an op-ed by WaPo columist Colbert I. King)

Must be a plot between local media and police allover the country.

(And a reminder: Left Wing Gunstagram is not about a group of blacks, it is about group of lefties. There are black militia groups, but this is not one. You brought up blacks, YOU, not me.)

AA's post included:

So are Nikole Hannah-Jones and rmrd for police doing this or not?

I responded

AA suggests that I am not for gun control

I have no problem with Blacks legally purchasing guns.

Do you want to confiscate all guns?

Do you want to ban hunting?

I support registration of guns purchased legally.

Edit to add:

AA is free to continue to post her pics.

I will point out that it is not clear on how to lower the number of homicides

I will also point out that law-abiding Black citizens have reasons to question the actions of police.

Derek Chauvin was convicted, but there is no evidence that officers of the Minneapolis police department have learned a lesson

Here is the current Minneapolis police department in action:

The video begins as a Minneapolis police officer whose name tag says C. Lange grabs the man – who identifies himself as Troy Lee Billups – by the collar and throws him into a counter. The two then struggle for about a minute and a half on the ground during which time Billups tells the officer multiple times not to touch him as he resists arrest.

When a bystander asks Lange why Billups is being arrested, Lange responds: “because he’s obstructing.”

The incident took place Wednesday evening around 6 p.m., at the Aldi on East Franklin. The video was posted that night, and as of Saturday morning has been seen over 100,000 times.

In the video, the officer claims that Billups was fighting with another person, but Billups disagrees. “We weren’t fighting, we was talking,” he tells the officer. Earlier, a voice off-camera says to the officer that “it’s two people having a conversation and you escalated the situation by shoving him.”

Note that the police officer continues his attack on the Black man despite onlookers begging the officer to break off the attack.

Just like Derek Chauvin.

2nd Edit to add

Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo, whose tenure included George Floyd's murder, will retire in January

You're on her like white on rice most of the time. Go ahead, try to finesse it.

In reply to She's posting news from all

Her post was about Guns that were not purchased legally

I posted an article about law-abiding Black citizens who were obtaining licenses and purchasing guns legally.

Given that she specifically mentioned me in her post about illegal guns, I appreciate the humor of your statement about personal grudges.

Over half of all annual gun deaths are suicides, what you’re saying is made up https://t.co/nLbuGP7Rup

I don't honestly know if his stat is accurate but I feel that his accusation about making bullshit stuff up certainly is.

well, he did basically answer

In reply to She's posting news from all

well, he did basically answer the question - he is not for gun control, as he relishes the idea of Afro-Americans having guns.

yes, the bubble stuff makes him look like an idiot because over many years he shows zero interest in anything but news related to blacks, 12% of the American population. if that's not seeing the world from a racist bubble, I don't know what is. why he continues to do that on a site with a few white people using it is the real mystery.

In reply to Your post makes no sense.

She's posting news from all over every day. Can you give it up with your inane "bubble" shit? You just sound like a moron with a personal grudge.

Your post makes no sense.

Your post makes no sense.

After George Floyd, some Blacks sought to legally obtain guns.

You remain in a bubble

So are Nikole Hannah-Jones

So are Nikole Hannah-Jones and rmrd for police doing this or not?

Yesterday, during a family dispute in Brooklyn, gun violence was threatened … and sure enough, responding @NYPD71Pct cops found this assortment guns.

Outstanding job — taking more illegally possessed firearms off the streets of NYC before anyone was hurt.#Finest pic.twitter.com/CiAk0YAwqL

Or is it more like only take guns away from right wingers? And let left wingers have them?
