Ofcourse he's entitled to his opinion. He's also entitled to derail any constructive conversations about this issue in voicing said opinion.

Additionally, it's also the network's OPINION that his opinions do not reflect the company's view (or at least the view they wish to express), and they are entiitled to express it, and therefore made the decision to fire him. Why are people getting worked up over it?

I don't disagree with you except for the last part. I understand that they have a right to do this but I would much prefer to live in a society where opinions were tolerated and people weren't getting fired for expressing controversial views that don't tow the line. I see it as incredibly dystopian.

Nobody claimed George Floyd was an upstanding citizen. He did some ****ty things, but this is way bigger than George Floyd. He's the straw that broke the camels back and symbolizes a lot for black peoples struggles.

what struggles?

a black man became president

as for the rest that choose to play the victim. they can go fk themselves. same goes for the other races too including whites

colour has nothing to do with success or being normal. you're culture does. fix the ghetto and the mindset of blacks choosing to play the victim, make them accountable for their actions, and make them take responsibility for their lives and sh*t might start to change

blows my mind that all these other countries are bombarded with media on police brutality in america.

Hes in fuking Australia.

He told the truth. Boom cancelled in australia. Its not even their issue.

If people think that Europe and Australia just organically took a sudden interest in the american police system and this isnt a global coordinated marxist propaganda push then IDK what to tell you, youre already programmed and too late for saving.

His life was celebrated on national TV and every Instagram thot posted a photo of him and #ripgeorgefloyd on black out Tuesday. MSM still acts like now he canโ€™t make it to his kids weddings and graduations. He didnโ€™t even fuking know his kids. Nice martyr.

Yes, generally I agree. It's unfortunate that as asociety ,we can't seem to tolerate opinions that are contrary to our own. I do have an issue with the average joe wanting to silence this guy and implying he has no right to voice the opinion. But if we're talking aboutemployersbeing tolerant, what if those opinions are in direct violation of company policies that you agreed to, and they negatively affect that employer's reputation?

Would any of you who work for corporations post something anti BLM or George Floyd on your social media at the moment? Srs question. I'm not talking about some racist rant using the N-word. Just saying that you disagree with BLM and think George Floyd was a questionable character?

I have such conflicting emotions on what happened. I watched the video and was horrified. I made a big deal on here saying that it was a murder and the cop should go to jail. I still think that. But damn the reaction to this has almost been more sickening than the murder.

He didn't deserve to die that day, but he was a long-term criminal piece of sh*t.

Objectively as a person he wasn't wrong, but unfortunately we don't have freedom of speech anymore and his thoughts do not reflect the current monopoly.

However a part of me is happy some people are putting their foot down on the madness and one-way attitude the media and all social media has on politics.

People are being fearful in speaking out, that is wrong and that is why TWITTER etc need to be held accountable and reclassified.

Newman is fine, he has enough money for multiple lifetimes.

Australian media and politicians are in virtue signalling overdrive. Look how they are treating Corona, even in states with zero cases. Still, it's not as bad as other countries - yet.

How about the death of law-abiding and contributing members of society that the rioters murdered? Including a 40 year service retired black cop who bled to death from wounds as he was protecting his friends pawn shop? Fuking animals, fuking terrorists.

Liberal media are a bunch of slimy c*nts too. See this cuck ******* on the news describe a 6 block takeover as "Just a street festival". It's madness. We're watching legal terrorism, destruction, murder, beatings, and true suppression of freedoms. The national guard should have been in right away to clean that embarrassment up.

At least it showed how they can't even create a functioning garden. A country or world run by whimsical children would crumble, they should be thanking the people they hate because if it wasn't for them they'd be fuked. Any other country or species they'd be dead.

Listen to these c*nts cry when Trump is re-elected. Spewing their nonstop of NPC dramas. "WHHAA US IS STILL RACIST!" "I AM GONNA LEAVE THIS COUNTRY IF TRUMP IS BACK IN"

What happened about leaving the first time? Yeah, drama queen shills.

Hell naw. Not worth it.

The problem seems to be that idiots on both sides outnumber the people with appropriate reactions. Not to mention people are stuck in a "this side or that side mentality". A whole lot of manipulation and escalation that is unfortunately working like a charm.
I remember that

No the reaction has been way worse. Multiple murders--according my math multiple > than just 1--destroyed businesses, organized and funded terrorism with weaponized front-runners in multiple countries, people losing jobs for moderate objections etc.

The minute the cop was formally charged and arrested they should have waited. They kept going, and after that it should have been squashed. But then you have Mr Canada and other cuck leaders almost ENCOURAGING all of this, and leftist social media trying to fan the flame.

It's just been one orgy and justification for people to commit crime and be opportunistic wolves. Hopefully--and sadly--it's been severe enough that people will vote the right way for a long time to come.

"Fake news," and, "enemy of the people," are more accurate than even the most devout magabrahs are willing to admit.

Great post and couldn't agree more. It's really destructive to their cause as well. My view on the whole incident has pretty much changed completely. At first I was outraged by what happened and now I feel just angry about the reaction and honestly couldn't give a chit about George Floyd anymore. I know that doesn't make much sense intellectually but it's a visceral reaction.

I mean, he's totally telling the truth. It sucks he died, but the dude was straight trash. If he was being a good boy that day, he'd still be alive today robbing pregnant ladies.
