    I believe that every single American colored or not should stand during the National Anthem to show the little most respect for the ones who have fallen for our freedom.

    Another athlete protesting during the National Anthem. I wonder if this will occur more often as the season progresses?

    As long as Kaepernick is still a free agent there will be more people that are protesting.

    this seems to happens often. Then again there are also many worse things certain plays have done and have gotten away with than this.

    These players doing this bulls*** should be immediately fired. Either stand for your country and show respect towards the fallen soldiers who went to war and lost their lives for you to even think about kneeling or leave and never turn back because you don't belong here.
  • maxaqramirez on 28 Sep 17
     
    And players who do heinous things like rape or rob places don't get fired. Why should someone who decides to peacefully protest be fired? Many people who do kneel/sit actually have a huge respect for our soldiers. One last thing, look up the US flag code of conduct. Plenty of things that companies do, and probably even things that YOU do, Stockton, directly violate that code.

    "In May, Slager pleaded guilty to deprivation of rights under color of law after a murder trial ended in a mistrial. He admitted he didn't shoot Scott in self defense and said he used excessive force. Federal prosecutors are seeking a life sentence. Prosecutors believe Slager committed second-degree murder and should also be punished for obstructing justice."

    I think those punishments are completely necessary and he deserves it. There's stories like this all the time but a lot of cops won't admit to not shooting them for self defense.
  • jeremyzuehlke on 04 Dec 17
     
    I think that the officer should get life in prison for killing this man. The man ran but there's other options than firing your gun at him, there was no threat to the officer, he was unarmed, and the officer said he used force that was unnecessary.
  • kadonka25 on 04 Dec 17
     
    The cop shouldn't of shot the man in the back, there was no threat towards the officer. If the man pulled a knife or a gun out then I'll see why the police officer shot him, but because the man had no weapons on him and was just running way he shouldn't of gotten shot.

    People are getting so upset about disrespecting the flag even though we do it everyday; And the only reason this has any attention is because the kneeling was used as a form of silent protest by an athlete of color.

Virginia move to abolish death penalty part of broader wave of change - CSMonitor.com - 2 views

I think death penalty shouldn't be a round anymore but however I think it should be only used if you killed another person on purpose or multiple people.

    I think he was justified, but I can see both sides. He was trying to protect people and in self-defense as he stated it's his job to protect everyone even those abroad. So, I think both sides have a right to their opinion.
  • joeypo10 on 01 Mar 21
     
    I feel like there were probably better ways to deal with the self defense act rather than going straight to an airstrike. It also makes it a little unsettling that Biden didn't have a conversation about it with other congress members and just did it.
  • jdogan on 01 Mar 21
     
    I think he shouldn't have done this and taking this action this early into his presidency shows somewhat of a disregard for some of the morals he touted himself on to even get elected. Even if he had found himself justified in doing this to say taking into account those morals he reached this conclusion to go there so quickly is disingenuos

    People are trying to restrict voting rights, while other's are trying their hardest to expand them. States have already started to ban the bill that would expand on those rights and it's honestly sad.

    The article discusses how states are trying to implement restrictive voting laws. I understand that after the 2020 election, there is a lot of suspicion surrounding voting fund. However, I think we should ensure that these new voting laws aren't another way to discourage people from voting. The article claims that voting fraud is "exceedingly rare," so it's clear that some legislators want to stop certain groups of people from voting to fit their needs, which is very wrong.
  • jdogan on 17 May 21
     
    voting restriction is the largest enemy of democracy and the fabricated campaign of voter fraud being an issue is terrible to go and say that with less than 2000 confirmed fraud cases in the last 40+ years there is a problem and that who can vote needs to be restricted is absurd this is no different than post civil war voting laws like a literacy test and the grandfather clause and the arguments supporting them are no different either

  • abbidominguez on 26 Apr 21
     
    I think if someone seems to be a threat to the community we should have a closer look at them and monitor them often whether that means checkups, some sort of surveillance, etc. I think this situation may have been avoided had they been checking up on him more frequently after this incident or had someone done some sort of mental health evaluation as it was obvious to his mother he was planning something.

    With the Filibuster in place, nothing gets done. The Filibuster allows the minority of congress to block popular legislation. Ignoring the often unrepresentative nature of the congress, this is a serious problem that isn't even enshrined in the constitution. What are your thoughts on the Filibuster?
  • noahsandbothe on 27 Apr 21
     
    I agree, an example of this would be the 15 Dollar minimum wage increase. 62% of Americans support the increase but since the filibuster is in place the minority Republicans will continuously block the bill.

    I think it's crazy just how large the rates actually were compared to what was being reported. My mom is a teacher in Omaha, so it makes me kind of worried that the rates are that high. I definitely think that they should be working on adding more protection for students and staff.
  • arosas733 on 26 Apr 21
     
    I think it's good they are going through these measures to protect students and its crazy how high the rates are and something should be done about it
  • jackiegonzalez on 03 May 21
     
    I'm glad that schools are pushing for more testing. I think that students who are asymptomatic are more likely to think they are immune to Covid-19 and start disobeying Covid-19 safety measures. It's problematic because these students can spread Covid-19 to someone who will truly suffer from it. So, more testing is a good way to prevent this from happening.
  • jdogan on 05 May 21
     
    A lack of testing always gives the illusion that things are better than they are, so it's good that they got this done and found out these numbers because I think it's very important to realize this number especially since it was six times what was previously observed.
  • hannahliwai on 10 May 21
     
    it's good that they want to test kids more regularly. some kids will just brush it off and say "it's a cold". this way, the kids who are tested pos. won't be affecting others as well as the asymptomatic students.
  • peytongrenoble on 18 May 21
     
    It is smart to be continuously testing students to know how the spread is going and in order to make sure that the students are being properly taken care of to prevent future cases.
  • sydneykolln on 21 May 21
     
    It's a good idea that schools are wanting to do more testing. It's crazy how these rates are getting and it's better that we do something about it now.

    I think he needs to carry himself differently, that is not how a leader would act, crying on Twitter. If he thinks the election was rigged then he should move in silence while he takes things to court, instead of doing the most.

    I think eventually you have to admit you lost. Whether or not he believes the election was rigged there simply isn't enough proof that has been brought forward.
  • carmellahargens on 13 Jan 21
     
    whether you vote for Trump or not I still believe that he should have more sportsmanship because this isn't his first go around. admitting that he lost is definitely a big step because that could mean failure in his eyes and he doesn't want to disappoint people, so I definitely applaud him for standing his ground with his beliefs
