Let's start a riot?!?!

Texas is democrat now lol
Not really? Its still a red state, despite the fact Trump isn't overwhelmingly popular here. The terrible Governor is a Republican and has been for 20+ years now, the state House and Senate are red, both Senate seats are red and have been for a while, and the majority of the House seats are red. Its a conservative leaning state, and since it is way too expensive for the Democrats to campaign here, I don't see that changing anytime soon. Even if Biden is leading in polls here, which I think they are very close, I won't believe the state will go blue until it actually happens. He could be ahead by 10 points the day before the election, and I would still think it will go for Trump.
And if Texas does go for Biden, I expect it will have more to do with traditional conservatives who are tired of Trump (and feel like they'd do okay with a Biden administration) than any sort of "blue wave".
My guess is it narrowly goes for Trump. The fact that we're even having a discussion about whether it's in play is absolutely ridiculous, though
I agree, I still think Texas going blue is an extreme longshot this year, for the same reason I think Trump is losing this year, the Senate. John Cornyn is up for re-election, and he is the favorite to win. Despite Beto pushing Ted Cruz to the brink in '18, its a different race, and I think Trump will ride Cornyn's coattails to a narrow win. And I think Joe Biden is going to do the exact same thing in Arizona.

these discussions are possible not because of gaining strength in the Democratic movement, but in large swaths of typical Republican groups losing faith with that party as they move away from traditional values associated with them.
Not to delve too deeply, but they're losing their base to no one right now, and that's the scary scenario that Eiryl mentions.

This is a local/state level issue. Remember, Chauvin and his accomplices are being charged with crimes at the state level, not the federal. Their sentences will be determined by state guidelines, not federal.
https://www.npr.org/2020/06/03/868910542/chauvin-and-3-former-officers-face-new-charges-over-george-floyds-death
https://statelaws.findlaw.com/minnesota-law/minnesota-second-degree-murder.html
Chauvin is facing a max 40 years, min 15. The other three are actually the same. There is already news that at least one of the charged is willing to do a plea deal against Chauvin.
I don't know if it was mentioned on here, but this was a training for Kueng and Lane with Chauvin serving in a instructor capacity. Neither of the men had worked a full shift as an officer.

Yes uh, welcome to the thread? I said he was facing state charges.

I know. I was just providing related data. I apologize if that information was already available.

personally never seen a website moderated as poorly as bluegartr.
I can partially agree with you on that. A lot of mods just don't live on the website anymore. A lot of the moderation burned people out. We had one guy devoted to researching and banning spam bots who isn't with us any more. People move on, websites get neglected.
But you are accelerating that transition of people moving on. I even sent you a PM to calmly talk about why you did that and you ignored me, yet somehow you respond here on a completely diff website. I am not unreasonable and if people were annoyed, its not fair to say "ok. I'll temp ban him" simply they have the option to block me. Just like you told me specifically to block Sath if I was bothered by his constant harassment. Guy literally walks into threads despite the topic and says "you stupid idiot" thats it. I mean cmon, it wasn't like I was offtopic in each thread or harassing people with personal attacks.
Also I am well aware of the donation drives, I have donated many times myself to support that website. This is the first case I have ever felt an infraction was unfair to me. That's all I'll say on it.

They'll agree to decimate his character and agree that he's unfit to police.
To state of mind, that he knew what could happen, all vital things to a 2nd degree case.

Calmly? This is calmly;
Quote: lol, I knew it was coming, how completely biased. You literally had salodin posting ***against a black man that died, basically laughing. You had Sath constantly coming into threads and provoking me and slinging personal attacks. Yet somehow, even though I'm engaging people and not trolling you give me a infraction for thread trolling. The exact same line in that post was said to me over 10 times. How can you support keeping a forum an echo chamber? Why are no other points of view allowed besides ones that fit your narrative? I wasn't even trolling in that thread, I was responding to people who directly quoted a post of mine. If you thought I needed a break, you could have asked me to stop posting and I would have. I didn't realize peoples egos were so fragile.

Only children whine for moderation (mommy & daddy). I got banned from BG for mocking cross-dressers. I clearly offended a mod on a personal level.

I think at the end of the day, historically speaking Texas is purple. That’s if you go back beyond when Bush was governor. But this whole national election is absurd at this point. It’s also absurdly quiet compared to previous election cycles

Looks pretty calm to me, I didn't insult you or anything.

I'm just mindboggled that someone went from one fan-based website for an 18 year old video game where they got banned to ANOTHER fan-based website for an 18 year old video game to complain about it!

@Direct/krreek
But did you make the ban a black hole that had to suck in the opinion of moderators from one site and the admin of another lol.
Cross platform Draylo bashing collaboration.

What is a plea deal supposed to entail? They will claim he told them he was going to purposely kill Floyd?
Shifting the blame to Chauvin exclusively for instructing them not to move Floyd into a a different position when they asked him if they could do so.

BG is super far left. Again, I was banned for mocking cross-dressers because I was mocking a "whole community of people".
It's tard-ville over there.

Your lack of understanding of what "left" truly is boggles the mind.

I will say this and I’m gonna sound slightly hypocritical because I still hold that they should have done what’s decent... BUT:
Wow can you imagine it’s your 3rd shift on a job (for one of the cops) or your 4th day on the job (for the other unseen on the main video) and your trainer essentially pulls a Denzel Washington to a magnitude that sparks international outrage..
