Is the US on a path to civil unrest?

so if that were the case, why is that when the person started shooting the video? and why would they only post that part?

You really need to ask these questions? Come on now, Site. I'm pretty sure you're smarter than this. People edit video clips all the time in an effort to bolster their narrative. You know: show the parts that support your position and chop out that which does not.

This is really basic stuff. I'm not saying that is certainly the case with the video clip in question but the type of deceitful editing I described is far from rare.

I'm well aware....lost track of who'd posted it online and why

You're well aware? Could have fooled me.



Who posted it makes little to no difference to the point I was making. Of course you'd expect a more trustworthy source to not be using misleading tactics like this but anyone is capable of it, whether on purpose or by accident.

Good example right here with part of the same video that Brewers shared yesterday (and was so quick to try to make a martyr out of someone who was clearly starting **** themselves):

Nah Brewers video actually just had more included in the one he shared as it started before that and continued all the way through, that part was in the video he shared though.

It's all dumb/bad though both what that guy did and what happened to him.

Yes, I know. He still tried to make a martyr out of the conservative (big surprise). Just as the guy whose tweet I shared was doing, I was referring to Trump sharing a much smaller clip that only showed the conservative getting served.

Don’t start something if you are not prepared to finish it (or to be finished by it).

So he got exactly what he ****ing deserve but here Trump and his followers are making him some kind of victim that just got suckered punch out of nowhere when in fact he started **** and even pushed some females.

**** that dude.

When is Joe Biden going to condemn this?!?

[Crovash]

I’ve definitely seen some ugly clips today. **** ain’t right.

I think the biggest issue in the US is that everything is left vs right. Democrat vs Republic. No room for anything else. No matter what one side says, the other side does the opposite.

And the remainder just grin and bear it.

I'm well aware as in I know people edit videos. I said I'd forgotten who posted the video to push what narrative.

Does everything have to be combative with you at this point?

[SiteWolf]

Was there motivation for that one?

There was one from yesterday where a got sucker punched from behind. Lots of blood. Guy was out. Pretty despicable. He’s lucky the cops were close by.

I don't remember the story anymore...when I first ran into it, I saw the clip with the person videoing talking and laughing like 'oh watch this' as the guy was walking up behind him...

I know what you said. Again, who posted the video is borderline irrelevant to your initial question (and my answer to it).

I guess everything seems combative when one is as defensive as you are.

gawd you like that word...what you view as defensive is just me sharing a contrary opinion

I didn't mean who posted it HERE, I meant who put it online...don't see how that's not relevant. If it was to show he'd beaten someone before that justified this part of the clip and that's what the person posting it wanted to show, that part of the clip would've been posted as well.
