Just wtf is happening to this planet?
All the Sportsnet crew... and I mean ALL... are saying today's NHL games should have been cancelled!
They ALL went out of their way to say this.
Christine Simpson said she is "sick to her stomach" that these games are being played!
All this because an unarmed black man, was shot by the police in America on Sunday.
Yes, it's utterly horrible that fellow was shot, but... cancel NHL playoff games because of it??
Is there a real-life invasion of the body snatchers going on? Am I the only sane one left?

Re: CC Random thread
Yeah.. a part of a video only makes me want to ask questions like
What escalated this to the point that guns were drawn?
What was he reaching for when he first opened the door to his car?
Why was he out of his car in the first place if he was simply pulled over?
Why was he resisting arrest and walking away?
... not saying this couldn’t have been handled different, or ended different, or that the cops were right or anything..
just saying I bet there is more to this than a 20 second video..

Not that I want it to happen, but I wonder if some NHL teams are going to go on strike after what happened to NBA/MLB games and Hrudey's comments yesterday. Probably not enough black players in the NHL to make this happen, I would guess.
Re: CC Random thread
Bounceball just announced it will just postpone the three games today then resume back full tilt tomorrow.

We the @TheOfficialHDA
have formally requested the @NHL to suspend all playoff games today. We strongly feel this sends a clear message that human rights take priority over sports.
10:08 AM · Aug 27, 2020·
however, if a one day suspension happens, the Canucks need to make sure they don't have to play an extra back to back game!!!!!
cause if they do, and do not win the Cup. Put a second asterisk on it.

It was added for the audacity.Strangelove wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 8:51 pm Yes, they gave him bottled water BEFORE he shot anyone.
As your link said, they give out bottled water to all kinds of folk.
At the beginning to "protect" a gas station, however his Facebook was promoting Blue Lives Matter.The kid was not just "walking around with an AR-15"
Rittenhouse was there legally protecting a gas station.
The rioters were there illegally... because well they were rioters.
And Rioters? or protesters.
Before he took his rifle to confront the unrest Tuesday in Kenosha, Wis., and was charged in a fatal shooting at the protests, Kyle Rittenhouse seemingly idolized one thing: the police.
Growing up in Chicago’s far northern suburbs, the 17-year-old shadowed local law enforcement as a cadet and filled his social media feeds with posts declaring that “Blue Lives Matter." There were videos from the front row of a Trump rally, and photos of himself posing with guns.
Rittenhouse attempted to join the Marine Corps in January, but was disqualified from serving after discussing his options with recruiters, said service spokeswoman Yvonne Carlock. She declined to specify why he was disqualified, citing the service’s privacy guidelines.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2 ... -protests/
Doesn’t that make him dangerous?No one knows why he shot the first guy.
Likely had a good reason to murder someone in public? WOWBut given his actions we see in the videos that followed, he likely had good reason.
The protesters/rioters, were calling him out and pointing him out to the police and not shooting at him for him christs sake.After shooting that first guy, he had to make his way to the police (a block away?).
Either that or more violence would surely follow (many rioters were also armed).
Notice nobody killed or shot him?
Murderous threats were uttered towards him and eventually he was taken down by the mob.
Notice he’s the one being charged for murder? And not nobody else, as he KILLED people?At that point it became a matter of self-defense (note he only shot those he had to... to escape the mob)
OMG really!?! A handgun versus a semi-automatic rifle?
By the way, that one rioter who was shot in the arm was carrying a handgun.
Yes as he was killing people!The other two assaulted him and tried to grab his gun.
I’m inferring in THIS instance versus Jacob instance, it’s painfully obvious the disregard for life for people of colour in MOST instances. White people with guns for whatever reason tend to get arrested without getting shot down, while people of colour holding a phone or a knife or nothing at all tend to get shot down neutralized, shoot first ask questions later by the police.You said "the cops keep their cool with him and arrest him without having to blast him 10+ times".
Are you inferring that cops never shoot white guys when trying to make arrests?
Lol obviously not.And/or are you inferring cops always shoot black guys when making arrests?
What a reach there SL, are you just saying that to get a rise out of me?I hope not, because both takes are ridiculous... and I just know you aren't wishing Rittenhouse was shot by police.
See above.It's interesting you say "getting blasted on with just having a knife"...
UMMMM. Anyone who resists arrest by pulling a knife SHOULD get shot by police.
And since you said "in this case" Blake was just walking to his car, I'm going to assume you haven't heard:
Multiple witnesses reported hearing the cops yell "PUT DOWN THE KNIFE! PUT DOWN THE KNIFE!!"
... just before he was shot.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Re: CC Random thread
NBA may want to boycott all of the playoffs, MLB looks like they may just delay games for a few days.
If the NHL wants to do something and get a head of this they could just postpone all games for 2 days and start up again on Saturday.
