Killer Mike (of Atlanta) in Atlanta two weeks ago: “We have to be better than burning down our own homes because if we lose Atlanta, what else we got? It is your duty to not burn your own house down for anger with an enemy. It is your duty to fortify your own house, so that you may be a house of refuge in times of organisation. And now is the time to plot, plan, strategise, organise, and mobilise."

Don't resist arrest, assault a police officer, steal his weapon, and then fire on him. This is really basic stuff.
I agree with this. The deaths of Floyd and Arbery should not be conflated with this one...but society is very messy and complicated, and I think the moment is too big and emotional for us to dissect each circumstance individually with nuance.

Kind of funny that the only person really with a history of doing something like that is njaguar.
Also, nobody cares about PaRD. You think anyone cares about what's posted here and think us worthwhile? Not a chance. We're just a bunch of degenerates who cling to a dying subforum for a game we used to play more than a decade ago, and for whom the comfort of at least feeling you're familiar with who posts in PaRD is better than the black hole abyss that is other posting forums/Reddits that have thousands of daily users.
I like PaRD. It's a unique little community with a predictable but still interesting cast of characters. It is certainly better than posting on reddit, like you mentioned.
It's also better to debate and argue with internet strangers than it is to debate with friends and family over Facebook and social media, potentially straining real relationships.
