Because you are no longer discussing but engaging in trolling. Be genuine, not a troll. Please.

Prove to me that he was killed by a liberal or a BLM protester. He was killed by a looter. And I hope they catch the guy.

No, he is setting up a legal fund to help PROTESTERS arrested. There is a difference. https://deadline.com/2020/05/colin-kaepernick-legal-defense-fund-other-celebs-fund-bail-1202947629/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/05/29/colin-kaepernick-offers-to-pay-for-lawyers-for-protesters-arrested-in-minneapolis/#4d782db43690 https://www.wsj.com/articles/colin-kaepernick-offers-to-pay-for-lawyers-for-people-protesting-in-minneapolis-11590771747

No one called you racist.

Again .. no .. that wasn't what was being asked ... I was asking him where celebrities were paying bail for white supremacists and anarchists, because that was his inference. I knew there were plenty of funds supporting protesters ... but that's not what his implication was, and that was something I couldn't find a link to. And your article didn't provide what AZTwin was implying, either.

Don’t know where this investigation will lead, but interesting developments. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/illinois-man-accused-of-handing-out-explosives-at-minneapolis-protest/2282034/

Okay, I know there are several funds out there bailing out protesters, his inference was that they were bailing out antifa and white supremacists. While I know I posted earlier articles saying most of those arrested were from elsewhere turned out not to be accurate, and I own that, but it is not false that extremist groups are involved and inciting and instigating a lot of the violence.
-
okay ... so ... do you have links for that? And what does that have to do with the articles I've posted? Just trying to understand what you are referencing and I can't without seeing it or reading it.
-
What specifically are you referring to in these articles?
-
Good advice for you, too. https://www.dw.com/en/twitter-suspends-fake-antifa-account-run-by-white-supremacists/a-53656003?fbclid=IwAR0TH-0mGIXOjXiL2Q2DTg-Mb6hzaAoMgN8vBm8QLHBKJwHtglr1_w9hlcY https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/02/tech/antifa-fake-twitter-account/index.html?fbclid=IwAR0AYvdyTmfQYKcJg1f5LlvwqU5ZstV5hXuxOKvKnoLxjk61_OHaYIarpGI

There are a lot of groups at play here ... white supremacist groups, the extreme right, also have people in place. This isn’t just the left extreme ... it’s both extremes. It’s the extreme, period, who hide in the midst of protests, that are emotional, and touch the spark to the kindling, to sow violence and chaos. They commit their acts of violence then run and hide behind protesters who will then be blamed. They all have very dangerous agendas. So stop pointing your finger left ... it's both the far left and far right extremes.
-
The boogaloo bois have quite a lot to do with this, too. So quit pointing a finger at white liberals and saying they are all to blame.

Max Kepler and the Cost of Silence
Squirrel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Thanks, Tom. I had asked for such a list in the thread in the Sports Bar. Some of us are from out of town, but still want to help our ‘home’ even though we can’t be there to do so. -
No one said they were.
-
There are two other threads on this subject, so, in order to consolidate, this one is now closed to further comment. Please continue in one of these two threads ... http://twinsdaily.com/topic/37574-max-kepler-and-the-cost-of-silence/ http://twinsdaily.com/topic/37549-grief-and-pain-in-our-community/

Max Kepler and the Cost of Silence
Squirrel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
But I don't think the goal is division and click bait ... it's a humanity problem. Humanity is all of us, together. It's all of us who made it divisive, not Nick. Edit: I see you answered that already. -
Max Kepler and the Cost of Silence
Squirrel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Well said. thanks, Nick. -
When every black person gets theirs. They've been waiting longer. First things first.

If you want to discuss the broader issues surrounding the Kepler incident, there is an ongoing thread in the Sports Bar; follow this link: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/37549-grief-and-pain-in-our-community/ Please keep this thread to Kepler. Further posts not speaking directly and specifically about Kepler and his actions will be removed. This doesn't mean invoking his name while posting about other broad issues. We want to keep dialog open surrounding these difficult issues we are all facing, so please go to the Sports Bar to discuss them. Thank you.
-
MODERATOR NOTE: If you all can't keep your comments contained to Kepler, instead of broader issues of the day, don't post. And don't make your comments personal toward others.

I don't see it as justice. And as I've said many times, I don't condone it, either. But I understand being marginalized, I understand how that feels, the anger and frustration when things just don't change. But I also don't know the more extremes of that marginalization and don't know a lifetime of it. To be so unheard. And when you are among the oppressed, you are powerless to change it. I don't condone it and I am sad and heartbroken over all of it, I truly am, but there is a part of me that really understands it, too. I'm not saying it's justified, I'm saying I understand it. While I'd like to live in a world where change happened peacefully ... when has it ever? It's just heartbreaking to me that it still comes to this.
-
This is NOT from radical leftist groups.
-
I do have trouble with it, especially since much of this is coming from people who live outside the state. Their motivation of this causes me great concern, and who is funding them and encouraging them to incite this violence. Why would people who are most oppressed be burning their own shops and businesses? The answer is ... they aren’t.
-
If anyone knows any community funds, and wants to share them here, for those of us who are out of town and can’t lend an actual hand, I know I’d appreciate it. I found this article from doing a quick web search that lists many: https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/05/30/how-to-give-back-to-your-besieged-community/ There’s also this: https://www.welovelakestreet.com/ And this one has info, too: https://m.facebook.com/supportthecities/
