Asphalt lickers.

意味がわかりません。 これは何ですか?

Everything fixed now?

Overheard said by Magats: “what’s an art museum?”

Road kill?

All this because a drunk man try to buy more booze with counterfeit money

Corona virus million black americans will get corona no social distancing

Why would these people be protesting a museum?

Be safe!! Social distance!! Bring hand sanitizer and ALWAYS WEAR YOUR MASK. Wear it over your nose and face. The last thing you or anyone else needs is for all the caring people to get Covid-19 and leave us.

I thought trump had set Marshall Law into action.

Crazy feeling after watching this video all of a sudden.😳 Deep shit!!!

Lots of corona in that crowd, I’m sure.

Lame.

Why?

Modern history is the history of world domination by Freemason. The French Revolution, the American Independence Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Russian-Japanese War, etc. are all Masonic Revolutions.

And just like that “Poof Covid is gone”

暇で仕方ないねんな

QuyetPawz Spray em with a big water cannon and see if their still dead. 😝

Fools! You are all already dead from the virus in the ground. The policeman doesn't kill you the virus by being on the ground. You are all dead, and the quarantine has served no purpose. Fools!

TheWarMonitor These people are fucking ROBOTS

Roadkill 🤪

Legit thought this was the aftermath footage from the Vegas shooting years ago

That's fine. As long as they don't riot and loot.

How profound. OrSomething

Fingers crossed

Cult

i'm old enough to remember when people who protested during quarantine were reported to be selfish grandma-killers for violating social distancing guidelines

Beautiful

ItsOkayToBeRussian bro.

Yet people can't have normal funeral services when their loved ones pass away. This is disgraceful

Do people not have jobs orrrr?

So no more hyperventilating about social distancing ABC? Did vandalism and looting magically cure the deadly Coronavirus over the past 5 days?

The streets must be occupied by the people till reforming the police and especially reducing their cost and budget be a fact!

美国下半旗。是什么鬼?

Do they have an exemption to violate Covid 19 social distancing policy?

Circus🤦‍♂️

Any excuse and out it comes...

One big ♥️ In solidarity 👍

Oh snap they did same thing to ward off Japanese in WWII

Wow!!! That’s awesome!!! Good!! Every live matters!!!

...

A bunch of monkeys

ABC News False News

never got the 'haka'....

Love this but I don't want to see tweets bashing people about social distancing again

I'm a New Zealander and I swear people are just performing it for the sake of doing it now.....

we live in incredibly stupid times

New Zealanders are awesome.

فش مكان كورونا يحط رجله

I would be furious if I were a teen who just spent the last two plus months abiding by stay-at-home orders, deprived of my prom, awards ceremony, and graduation but seeing fellow youths gathering by the thousands without consequence and being featured on tv.

So can people go to funerals yet or nah?

❤️

Thanks, this is awesome!

Hmmmmmm

Love this!! Much love to them.

That's a man-wave tsunami attack to the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The quake was caused by inhumane execution of a black-American by white policeman unauthorized by the courthouse.

Imagine all the trash they leave behind

If only it wasn’t a demonstration

make them some tin foil hats please so their thoughts can't be read by the 5G brain reading technology that is being used to prove intent to act on thoughts. If the same brain pattern shows up after a thought on thousands and then they act on their thoughts it will prove intent.

Remember last week when you were telling people if they didn't social distance they were killing grandma? I don't either...How does not understand how stupid they look?

6000

Nothing can excuse the killing of anyone for no reason! Justice in convicting the culprits/s should be swift and set an unprecedented example for all Law Enforcement on how not to make an arrest. Having said the above in sincerity, how many cops have been killed on duty in 2020?

Now due the 305 police officers injured and 4 killed! Do all the damage, death and injuries caused by the riots. None of this destruction across our country is justified. Law & Order!

Too bad it didn’t come to fruition. Nutjobs

That’s a lot of people refusing to work.

I hope they all have hand sanitizer

I completely understand. Living in that city does make you die a little inside every day

Is this for all the new COVID deaths due to these mass gatherings?

Does that look as dumb as it sounds?

So did Jim Jones......

All those bullet points and not a single mention of DavidDorn. How is that possible? Oh that's right it doesn't fit your agenda.

Are you supporting violet rioting ABC News?

The funniest part, suing for tear gas when none was used. Good one.

How did Obama and Biden fix this crap? Does anyone remember Ferguson Missouri or remember Trayvon martin Orlando Fl

Really it’s none of their business

So they can be looted again!

What is it with Geeks and fire?

How much hipocrecy!Greeks pursuit and reject to the.africans refugees...and majority are.blacks

realDonaldTrump is an international embarrassment. He should be run out of office LIKE A DOG.

What the fuck has got into people? Is it just the video? Are people bored from the corona virus? Why is this the first injustice from the thousandsssssssss that happen every day that anyone cares about ? Someone please explain.

And your mad at President Trump for being protected?!?

Lol, we don't care about you Greese

What the.! 😕 isn’t that an act of terrorism.?

Racist tropes, instead of reconciliation. realDonaldTrump rhetoric & methods from ‘how to control slaves’, intimidation & punishment. trump used tactics against ColinKaepernick . Trump began negative campaign instead of acknowledging racism at root of Kaepernick protests.

Calling ALL African descent/origin/ancestry humans. Return to your homelands, come home. You are welcome here in Africa. We are one people, of the same blood. Everywhere you look around, people look like YOU. You are not 'black' or different here.

Burning things to the ground&inciting violence doesn't honor George Floyd. They like many others are using his death as an excuse for their own agendas.

AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE...THE PEOPLE WILL NO LONGER STAND SILENTLY AND CONTINUE TO JUST LET YOU BEAT THEM WITH BATONS.....ARM YOURSELVES AND FIGHT BACK..👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

If US Embassy in Athens announces free US citizenship for fist 500 applicants, if applied right now, then I guarantee, every single person in the crowd will drop the boards and firebombs and start fighting to get in the line of first 500. DanRDimicco

Athens Georgia? FAKENEWS

The Geeks wouldnt even let the Syrian cross their land to wester Europe which is more racist to me

There’s no way that this is about George Floyd.

Anarchists once again not for America race racism, worry no way ?. They taken revenge against US Embassy in Athens Communists-anarchist and all those thugs damage shops again , molotovs for USA demonstrators . They Exarchia-Athens gangs

The Greeks super hate Fascism. If you don’t know read a book or take a history class.

This is beyond common sense...is this how they will get justice? These communists certainly need China. Try these stunts there n u will be hanged upside down. Just becaz democracy giving all sorts of rights, these ppl misusing it to fullest. This is absolutely crzy. Id10ts..😡

This is not the Greek’s first protest!

National Greek pastime. Funny, but at no point they consider that killing off their ethnic minorities is bad.

They don't give a sh*t about racism against POCs in the US. It's just another excuse to commit CRIME. Call it what it is

This has NOTHING TO DO WITH GEORGE FLOYD! YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

Demonstrators......really Anti-American TERRORISTS

Athens doing it right

Lost souls.

so much for covid

Following underwhelming media coverage by CNN cnnbrk NBCNews CBSNews

Not being glib, but why? They got what they wanted, the cops were charged.

He is a respectable person. I mourn for his brother.

So, this is still going.

bradbury444 It was wrong what happened to George Floyd. George Floyd is no hero. He held a gun against a pregnant women while his friends robbed her.

A sight to behold. George Floyd's ancestors refused! They said ENOUGH!

social distancing?

The majority of destruction came from the police, the bricks were placed by police before protests, 'the Proud boys' have been present at every single protest-they need to have their platform shut down!! The fact people don't understand with their 'all lives matter' proves need!

SethAbramson That's so amazing and inspiring. I'm afraid I would have a panic attack being in a crowd..... But just WOW. What a beautiful procession.

I wish I could retweet this a million times. God bless you and all of George’s family.

Would be kind of hilarious if out of the blue Floyd’s family invites Trump to be at the funeral.. then what?

mourners? oh, please.

Hey Mr Trump, Hear this loud and clear: 'Get your knee off our necks!'

Nothing else could be said that has more meaning coming from his brother. In the moment of his and his families personal pain he speaks for calmer actions. One would only hope people listen to the actual grieving families words.

Mourners my ass. Moolies and snowflakes on looting missions.

BethElderkin Good for them! This is how you do it!

If we were really in a pandemic then this what be an issue, but wait?

Shows social conditioning is an absolute joke.

So covid lockdown is over

So, funerals are back on in NY?

Breaking: NYS Judge James Burke rules NYPD can now keep anyone (peaceful protestors arrested for curfew and criminal looters) detained for over 24 hours given these are extraordinary times. “It’s a crisis within a crisis', he said. 'All writs are denied, BK, BX and manhattan'

Black Lives Matter

Pelosi police reform bill? Why in the hell did you do this when the other murders happened and riots

on the day of floyds memorial the right wing has taken to demeaning and demonizing the protestors so they can change the tone on whats going on.

What's his name again? I will not shed a tear for a violent criminal that pled guilty to holding a gun to a Woman's stomach and robbing her in her home. Not counting the other crimes he's guilty of. Sometimes Karma is a bit slow. Or so we think.

EH, Im going to the beach.

kstreet111 Ti all those who protested and were arres6, this is ❤

chenweihua American 4 Jun😅👏

Love it!😍🇺🇸

So sad... I wonder what George would say about this? His last hour of life breaks my heart. A normal day, then fear, terror, torture, & pain... I hate those cops for hurting him that way. For killing his gentle soul. I hope he's found his mother in Heaven. Godspeed.

Great! Keep going! Keep up the resistance!

Tens of thousands on the east coast alone it looks like

Stay safe New York. God Bless You!!!

At least they're not burning shit down.

The casket is empty

Politics Question is, will this be seen on Fox?

I wonder if George Floyd really died.

Of the 1004 people killed by American police in 2019, 371 were white, and 236 were black.

Now they are mourners and not protesters and looters? Just more spin on the same old tired subject.

Open up the fkn economy, if people can do this they can go back to work, spend constructive time doing something.

Can we move on forward after this

theweeknd AroosaTanwir all this reminds me of is “get out the bike lane!!!!”

Bring in the Tanks!

I wasn’t allowed to go to a funeral last month... now this.

Can't imagine what must feel people, who were the victims of his crimes. To be robbed or threatened by a national hero.

Experts on media have been emphasizing the risk of re-opening too early. Yet media is silent when protestors have been gathering in thousands risking lives of many by spreading infection. DOES THE RIGHT TO PROTEST TRUMP THE RIGHT TO LIFE. ?!?

Perfect. So COVID isn't a thing anymore. Got it. 👌 BrooklynProtests

WHERE ARE THE SIX FEET BARRIERS? Should they not all be wearing pool floaties on their heads to ensure they don’t kill their grandmothers What about all the families who mourned their loved ones and WERE FORBIDDEN FROM HAVING A FUNERAL by their tyrannical governors

Ужас что творится в США. Черные должны успокоиться. Люди вообще несут ответственность за то, что распространяют коронавирус.

And just like that the fucking virus was gone - poof - a friggin farce to shut down the economy - lol

Awesome. I wish I could be there marching with them.

So many deaths in NYC from Covid? Did those families get to come together to mourn or was that denied by the government? What are the current restrictions on gathherings? Curious

franley12 Let's watch the cops shoot them down.

My heart goes out to everyone involved, worldwide. I'm trying to raise money for the UK! I cried watching the memorial. How terrifying to be unsure of your life because of the colour of your skin! Let's do this people!

GeorgeFlyod

Provoking thousands of deaths by Covid-19 to protest for a death...Americans what happens to you.

but Hey! everyone had to bury their Covid dead and they couldn't even have a funeral!! Very 'funny' how Covid disappeared the moment it was no longer useful to the Left's agenda.

What happened to GeorgeFloyd is inexcusable and the officer responsible has rightfully been arrested and will be brought to justice. But where is the public out crying and support for DavidDorn?

Sharpton is a racist

A very long time 😢

Jesus Christ has everyone forgotten about the deadly virus already

I’m no longer sympathetic for George Floyd. The murderers doing their WalkOfShame... removed all sympathy. I’m horrified at the crimes committed. Carrying guns, white or black, all trash, heatherns ne WARNED!

Cut welfare .

GMA Wow

I am old, I am white and today George Floyd is my brother. And his brothers will forever be mine.

Meanwhile, other families r allowed only 10 People TOTAL at a funeral.

Rev Al 🤣 one of the biggest crooks

So...people should be allowed to go back to church and all businesses should be opened immediately, right?

TheRevAl just rested the case for the prosecution with that 8min 46sec moment of reflection, those officers had time to think about what they were doing, and decide to let GeorgeFloyd up and face justice, or to continue to kneel on his neck and be judge, jury, and executioner!

Honoring a criminal. He served 5 years for holding a pregnant black woman at gunpoint while his buddies robbed her house. Why are blacks continually standing up for the low end of their society? If this guy was white, white people wouldn't want anything to do with him.

🙏🏿🙏🏿

Crook

Anyone up to have fun tonight? Text me: annawilly855gmail.com

This may be an unpopular opinion but: Does anybody else feel that Al Sharpton should take a seat in the background and give that speaking time to the new leaders of the movement, to the people that are now on the frontlines? We need NEW, FRESH voices! And we have plenty.

BlackLivesMatter

He insults the President and has no problem with the criminal aspect of what’s been going on( not Protesting). Funny thing is,he was a coke dealer (allegedly)n an INFORMANT n also use to be friends with realdonaldtrump because it benefited him,made money. HYPOCRITE! magameetups

Yeah, now u have antifa. The same way you had the weather underground in the 70s, 60s.

Crook

May God BLESS you!

Lol sharpton is a race baiting bigot. Oh and what happend to quarantine. What a joke

Got your 15 on camera sharpton, huh.. the rest of the group will soon follow.. as always.. where were any of you while & when the unrest took place.. ?!! Yeah, safe in your mansions and then come out when all is well. Hmm.. who that sound like?!!

Been looking at other states marching, more whites than blacks. Says a lot of young white folks. They are tired of the injustices their fellow black brothers and sisters are going through. These folks just want equal treatment and opportunities. Love my white people.

Literally brought tears to my eyes.

Where’s Tawana Brawley?

The first danger there is something else

melissadderosa Let graduating seniors have a traditional graduation ceremony, 6ft apart, in a mask, whatever) & then urge them to get tested. Ridiculous that they can't do this

The protests is easy for spreading virus, and he never thinks about to stop it. He did a really nice job 👍

Where is his concern with the police brutality we're seeing nightly on the news... NYGovCuomo

They should get tested right now.

How is getting tested responsible? You can get tested and be negative and on ur way out of the clinic catch covid-19

I'm not against protesters, I'm against rioters, I'm not against the police, I'm against the abuse of power, we don't want violence, we want to be listened. WE WANT JUSTICE!, people deserve justice, those who go viral, those who remain silent out of fear, we must be their voices

That's good news considering Pelosi signed The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, H.R. 3355, which resulted in mass incarceration of young black men. This is the systemic racism manifesto authored by Joe Biden and signed by lifetime politicians on both sides.

Ok I’m tired of this crap. I’m done with China virus

Did LA have a curfew during COVID? Serious question that I don’t know the answer to.

Yeah. How about criminal reform?

Racial injustice is a myth.

FranTVHost Guess RealCandaceO pissed at this video and it’s sad u THINK someone is on drugs and taking his life is okay. wakeup this is not the bubble world you were raised in

HaidaPrincess boom!

Since we are going to be removing the white history make sure we remove the black also starting with Martin Luther King

Is he relocating it to his back yard for 'coonman' gatherings?

What about you founding fathers? They all owned slaves didn't they?

Didn’t that guy used to wear blackface?

The Taliban destroyed statues too.

BS

NO BLACK FACE TODAY? ABC REPORT HOW THESE THUGS ATTACKED YOU AND YOU SUPPORT THEM

Why is the statue here? It's here to remind us of both the good & bad of our history and act as a benchmark as to how far we've come from previous mistakes. Taking down a statue doesn't change history. It's just running away from it. Ours is not the kind you run from, its 2 good

This is total bullchit.

🙏

LoriMoreno Put the statue in a museum and use it to teach history.

Can't pass by the fact that his mask (and looks like his shirt too) are purple... globalist color

They are: Erasing history Kneeling during the NA Removing Church symbols Revising the pledge of allegiance Changing America into a symbol of hate Destroying our education system Trying to defund our police Causing race tension 👆Manufactured destabilization of the US.

The past is that the first African Americans who came to USA, were working as slaves making no more that $ 0.25 cts / hr, and the ongoing future is on the NEWS.

Bunch a candyasses!

Didn’t Joe Biden vote for Lee to regain his citizenship back in the day? I guess history only matters when it fits a narrative

Of course Governor Blackface would try to lure the KKK out to start a fight in the streets. I guess they didn't have the evidence to prove white supremacist were looting and burning cities to the ground. So now they'll try to lure em out for a news story and to blame Trump

Let's erase all signs of racism throughout history and hope we don't repeat our mistakes. Brilliant idea.

No one better-suited to effect this change than black-face Northam himself.

I'm a Yankee, and I think it's dishonorable to remove this heritage of the South. Build more black statues if you will to honor black sacrifices as well.

Melt that shit down.

DenverChannel Just like ISIS. “This destruction marks a new phase in the cultural cleansing perpetrated in regions controlled by armed extremists in Iraq,” or GovernorVA “It adds to the systematic destruction of heritage... CulturalGenocide

I didn’t recognize him without his black face.

Stupid politicians.

Finally! Reality is that the Confederates were nothing more than traitors and the reasoning for being traitors simply is amplified in 2020. Nice to see his profile brought down.

You mean Governor black face? Sure

Great! Traitors of our nation should be kept in text books, educating people of their crimes and atrocities. The same way we do for Hitler. There shouldn't be statues of them anywhere in these United States. Same goes for the flag of a failed nation, the Confederate states.

When He's Done Taking Down the Statue... He's Going to Put on His Klan Robes & Black Face Then Go Murder Some Black Babies that he's 'Keeping Comfortable' 🙄

The people that put it there did so with the consent of people that actually fought and won that war. Who the hell are you to judge them?

Wrong decision. Better to leave it, with a plaque explaining what it represented, and why it was erected. Change the symbolism. When we remove it, we forget it. One generation away, most people can't give dates for VE or VJ days, or tell you about the Murmansk runs.

Removing and changing history does not make it go away! Things happened, MOVE ON.....

Gov Blackface

I like generals that don’t loose wars.

RyDawson2

I need closure. Is Northam the blackface guy or the Klan guy?

Never waste a chance to tear down America.

It has been overdue!! In fact, it should have done it long long time ago not NOW... it’s too late already

A statue doesn’t necessarily honor a person, but it does remind us of our history (good and bad). Also, George Washington owned slaves. Should we remove his statues too? People need to think as this is a slippery slope.

Rename the Jefferson Davis Highway while you're at it!

Take the sheep flags off. The cat's out of the bag thanks to your riots.

two blacks for only one white...who is spremacist ?

We need all the communist statues removed and protested immediately. Let’s start with this one in Seattle...

GMA NO

Good, now racists will stop being racists now that the statue is being removed.

PassTheBaton Hey CEO’s stop telling Companies to change , Step up take the pledge PassTheBaton, Let a minority be CEO real action

Well, if u let minorities take over and destroy cities, u might as well let them take our statues down too. Don't cry when they start to genocide us.

GMA Wow

Maybe GovernorVA can erect a statue of a baby - representing all the unborn killed in his State and include infanticide deaths he has permitted protectunborn

Then it better go to a museum!!!!!! That is our history!!!

.Cool... I'm forgetting US ever had slavery and a Great civil war and a Republican named Lincoln.

Notin2020 !!

Statues are for closers.

I'm still shocked that this could happen in my lifetime.

He wore black face so now the statue has to come down. Democrats are evil

Northam should be removed

Airbrushing history. Stalin & Hitler did that !!!

Robert E. Lee was a criminal, a racist. Good job Governor.

Poor lil racists getting their lil feelings hurt

A yankee with that accent. Sad!

Celebrating racism is so 19th century and this is the 21st century. It's the right thing to do. BLM

Yeah, put rodney king statue instead so black ppl feel their preferentialrights better ...did the governor apologize for being white yet ? Reparations? Lol
