Federal agents thwart man's explosive alleged plot against officers during LA riots

I have to laugh, you defend gun owners but not the protesters.
Is that kind of like how you defend the rioters but not gun owners.
Does that make you laugh as well.
 
Give me the actual data then MAGA crew. Out of 5million active protestors how many arrests were made & what determines "mostly"?
So you think crime rates are only determined by arrest rates.
Those people that torched police cars and threw rocks at cops heads didn’t commit crimes because they were not arrested?
 
Speaking of explosives have they found the MAGA who left pipe bombs littering the neighborhood on January 6?
I see you are a fan of the whatabout excuse. Frankly it’s pretty weak.
 
Interestingly,

Yes because as we all know, if you are not affiliated with highly organized extremist groups, then there is no way you could be a far left wing radical.

That is some pathetic spin by the AP there.
 
Great investigate away, I'll hold on to my right of free speech while they investigate. With all the crazy talk around today, who decides what is crazy talk?
You not understanding that making threats is not covered by the 1st amendment is not the flex you think it is.

What's telling is half the anti-Trumps think the DOJ made this up, and the other half is trying to convince the reader there's nothing to see because the guy wasn't mentally all there to carry through with the terrorist attack. Sure, he had a big mouth, but what if the cashier was okay with what he planned to do and didn't alert LE? The rest of the forum libs think of the corniest strawmen, attempting to blame Trump supporters, um..just because. Total craziness. And the libs/anti-Trumps are lying when they are saying the LA riots were peaceful protests, mostly or otherwise.

Of course not. But those are the numbers we have. The same concept applies to every other crime statistic. Do you think every crime in Alabama is known / marked / cataloged? Of course not. So you tell me - out of the estimated 5 million people who protested, what % of them were violent? And what does the word "mostly" mean? More than 50%? 10%? 5%?

Or are you all just making shit up based on your feelings?

Oh. Did you come up with some actual numbers of violent crimes committed during the protests now?

Or are you going by feelings?
 
Too bad all miscreants aren't as cooperative as this one.
I feel cooperative is a kind word for what the really was. Seemingly, an idiot.

Vandenberg allegedly visited a travel center in New Mexico, where he "requested assistance in selecting fireworks that could be thrown directly at people to cause harm," according to prosecutors.

🤣

It's easy. You can simply look up the arrest records & crime reports. It's public. Hint: most of the 5 million protestors weren't arrested lmao. But ya ya I know, you can just imagine without any evidence that a yuuuuge amount of protestors were being violent, with no evidence to back it up, claim protests weren't mostly peaceful, then apply the burden of proof fallacy. That's what partisans, like you, do.

So no. You don't have any actual numbers to support your claim that the protesters are more violent than the citizens of Alabama.

Bruh you don't even know what's going on anymore in this discussion :ROFLMAO:

Take a breath and start again from the top. So desperate to get a "got you" out of me even though you agree that protests were mostly peaceful lol

I'm referring to your claims regarding your comparison of Alabama to the No Kings protesters.

You aren't capable of understanding my original post. This has been discussed already. Find a new tutor.

It wasn't terribly complicated of a post.

You tried to show that the citizens of Alabama commit violent crimes at a higher rate than the No Kings protesters. That didn't work out well for you, and now you've nothing left but personal insult.

Nope. Already explained. Sorry for your struggles. But hey if you reallllllly need this win, you got it! 🏆

Here's you not making a violent crime rate comparison between the protesters and the citizens of Alabama:

Est. 5million protestors. If even 1000 were arrested for violent crimes, that's a 0.02% violent crime rate.

Violent crime rate in Alabama (population of 5 million) is ~400 per 100k, or 0.4%


😆
 
Is that kind of like how you defend the rioters but not gun owners.
Does that make you laugh as well.
What you are trying to do is make it sound like all five million people who protested on no kings day all rioted. Let's say, being generous, that one hundred thousand people out of five million were rowdy and breaking the law, would you say that's one hundred percent of the protesters rioting? You guys throw around the riot word and attach it to all demonstrators. Or am I reading your post incorrectly? How many people did you say you personally saw rioting? Can you show me where I've suggested taking away any guns owned legally?

All I see coming from you folks on the right and your leadership is a constant flow of threats. Hell, trump right now is threatening to bomb Iran, no?

No that is the strawman you are making. I never said anything even remotely like use. But then strawmen and straight up lies is all you can normally put together.

I have no doubt that is all you “see”.
When people let their emotions overrule their ability to think they can convince themselves of anything.
