And the problem is what, exactly? That people not involved with the incident didn't let some (most likely right-wing) terrorist ruin their entire day?

I get that Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday feels like a "loss" to you somehow, but this is a pretty pathetic attempt at concern trolling even by Valwinz standards.

So, we are suppose to condemn them and not the people that shot people in the first?

Not to mention, condemn the whole holiday, just because of these peope.

Just a guess, made easier based on the event that was targeted.

The video you posted isn't long enough to see what happens when they're trying to leave, and that's probably intentional. If it takes ten seconds to surround an ambulance, it takes ten seconds for everyone to give it the space necessary to leave.

This wasn't the first time nor will it be the last time that EMTs have to deal with crowds, they're trained for it.

It appears according to the police chief it was gang related.

Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong tells news organizations that a total of eight people were shot in a gang-related homicide that left one man dead and seven other people wounded on Saturday on the 2200 block of Lakeshore Avenue during a press conference at the Eastmont Substation in Oakland, Calif., on Monday, June 21, 2021.

I don't see why this line is here, other than to condemn the holiday.

To be clear, I'm not for nor against what they did, unless they intentionally blocked people from getting help. We have much bigger problems, like you know, the mass shootings themselves.

Belief isn't a necessary component, the FBI has had white supremacy listed as its number one domestic terror threat even as far back as the latter half of the Trump administration. We get a right-wing nutjob losing a few too many of his screws and going on a shooting rampage every other week it seems. If far-right politics aren't involved, it's usually religious fundamentalism instead, and the Venn diagram for those two is practically a circle.

Doesn't appear to be exactly proven yet, but they are saying gang related, which would have already been the reasonable assumption for such an incident taking place in Oakland.

Do you ever stop to think, "wow, maybe I shouldn't waste my time on the internet getting offended on behalf of fascists?" I guess not, that would require having more than just the two brain cells to rub together.
Do you ever not produce everything onto right-winged? People don't need to be right to be upset about what has been done, not even have to be from your glorious USA.

That video is disgusting. A man just got shot, and is dying, and they're dancing on his transport to the hospital.

Not to me, it's just another day off to me! I hope for more federal holidays.

It admittedly can be a bad habit/instinct that I fall back on with temp's politics board, since we've got so many mindless right-wing spammers that make a new thread every time an edgy pre-teen shits out a new tweet or Youtube video. Hell, this topic wouldn't have veered either if not for a second right-wing troll playing agitator.

    Thing is, if you break it driving back to your house, it's your fault. But if the delivery driver damages it, it's not your fault.
