Are aggressive acts legitimate forms of protest and do you believe they are protected free speech?

Trump supporters are being taught to believe the protestors aren't "real" Americans in preparation for protestors eventually being targeted by the military.

Remember, Defense Sec. Esper said Trump wanted to shoot the protestors. I do not believe Trump's views have changed.

Is that what it is? Good on you for spotting it, I struggle to just stay abreast of the narrative-du-jour. ;)
 
Yeah. I should refrain from stating the truth and just stick with the liberal narrative. it's the only "right" thing to do.

Be specific. What's the "liberal narrative" that you disagree with that you think is not true? That the Jan 6th insurrectionists engaged in violence? That they tried to overturn the election? That Trump lost the election?
 
The police have had to become more "militarized" in response to the organized violence of the radical Left.

Hrmm, if you're talking about George Floyd related riots, this isn't true. The militarization of the police forces in the U.S. predates the Floyd-era by several decades and picked up speed after the second Iraq War.
 
'Step outta line, the man come and take you away'.

Lol. Wtf are you talking about?

It amazes me how you Trump supporters view yourself as perpetual victims.
 
The organized violent Leftist thuggery in LA and their Democrat codependents in no way represents the American electorate.
lol

your imagination's run far, far away with you if you feel that all those people were foreigners
 
This is a difficult question to answer because it straddles legality and morality and to answer either side would need more context.

There is no blanket answer to the blanket question.
 
You brought up a 5 year old BLM story. I responded to it.

Your effort to characterize this as a riot because a few people set some cars on fire is dishonest.


People are not stupid. They see what they see on the evening news with protesters fighting with police, throwing fireworks and cinder blocks at them, and burning cars on the streets.
Does that tell them the protests "mostly peaceful"?

Of course, because conflict gets clicks.

How many cars were burned and by how many people? This many?

 
The police have had to become more "militarized" in response to the organized violence of the radical Left. Well funded and in some cases taxpayer subsidised organizations like CHIRLA into a network monitoring ICE legal enforcement of immigration law in LA. But it doesn't stop with passive monitoring or nonviolent protests. Once notified of the "horrifying" prospect of the law being enforced violent Leftist groups sprang into action executing a well planned ambush of 6 Waymo vehicles and a blockade of the nearby freeway. These groups had been specifically provisioned with chunks of cinder block and other items to injure police. Not by coincidence the mob was equipped with commercial fireworks, Molotov cocktails and laser pointers.

Of course the police are supposed to deal with this organized violence using the strength of their ties to the community. Nonsense.

There used to be a distinction between police and military, for obvious reasons. That distinction is being blurred.

But the so called leftist riots of today, some people looting or burning a couple of cars is nothing compared to the riots of the 1960s.

That's what our enemies want. They've badly out-armed us.
I dont see any other option. Every peaceful method has been exhausted and we keep losing because we rely on a completely broken system.
 
I've witnessed multiple posters in threads on this topic recently defending aggressive acts as a legitimate form of protest. What is everyone's position on this idea?
Doesn't it really depend on what you are defining as 'aggressive acts'?

Aggressively shouting at someone without laying a hand on them is probably a legitimate form of protest. Just have to look at the shouting at the cops have to endure, as an example.
 
As liberals like to say 'No one is above the law'. Except when applied to them.
No the words above come from you. Now whether you like to say them I do not know. I so not know how hot and swetty your words make you and do not want to know thanks
 

You already asked and I already answered in a friendly way. What’s odd is your hyperfixation on following my every move and not accepting what I already explained to you earlier in the thread:

Fair question. Whenever I post a poll, I don't want to impact the results or discussion by putting my opinion upfront. I'd rather allow the natural discourse to play out and once the pieces fall where they may, I'll start to chime in with my own take.

Plus, I also get the benefit of reading through everyone's positions, which could very well lead to my opinion evolving, as I see everyone else's posts (unless they're unhinged personal attacks or really extremist positions) as learning opportunities. When I pose a poll question, it's always for a topic that I'm open-minded and persuadable about.

Also, I intentionally used the vague term because I knew many would have different opinions on what qualifies as aggressive, so I figured that discussion would also naturally play out.

So what you're calling "odd" is just me being open-minded. If you want to personally attack me for that, it's rather silly. You'll be better off if you simply post in good faith from now on instead of shitposting for no reason whatsoever.

Left-wing violence is what the radical right craves. Don't give it to them.
I dont have a choice but to do that but i think they are going to come for us anyway. They are already killing and arresting our reps.

Personally i wish for the end of America but that is a longer term project that is not high on my own list.
