Were scores of "concern troll" threads and posts about protestors "attacking" unoccupied Portland federal buildings a sign of morons manipulated?

An unarmed woman who had no chance of breaking through that door got what she deserved? Somebody with a gun screwed up. Let's see if the cover that up too.

The window glass had already been broken out - anyone has a chance to pass (climb?) through a missing (open?) window.

Rioting, looting and arson are not acts of protest protected by the 1A - they are crimes.

Only if you’re white. If you’re BLM it’s just a monopoly game.

There were 6 Glocks aimed at everyone near that window. It’s a shame they killed her for breaking windows.

Which is why plenty were arrested for their clear crimes all year, yeah? Protestors, turned rioters, become criminals. Simple enough.

The notion that right-wing media is allowed to get away with excusing the consequences of what occurred in our nation's capital over the idea that "the left" approved of BLM riots is ludicrous.

The documentation does not support that "the left" ever endorsed riots. Strip that partisan nonsense away and looking at what Trump, the "conservative" elected President of the United States, encouraged against his own government, can you honestly bring yourself to shrugging off the severity of what occurred?

It's well beyond time dude. The proverbial "left" has not been the enemy here. The enemy was waving the Confederate flag through the halls of Congress after "conservative" Trump followers attacked and occupied our nation's very heart of democracy. Think about the argument about how Islamists have hijacked Islam from true Muslims. Trump followers have hijacked democracy from true Americans.

I figured you out. You’re a robot. Good grief. You’re pure poison. I feel sorry for your kids.

What was allowed to happen in Portland by its city government was a travesty. Any decent person with an ounce of civic responsibility to their community and nation and an ounce of morality in their bones should admit that.

But what was allowed to happen in Washington D.C. by President Trump (and, indeed, was unleashed by him) was a thousand times worse. Any decent person with an ounce of civic responsibility to their community and nation and an ounce of morality in their bones should admit that.

I wouldn't say that Portland allowed the looters, but I strongly agree with the spirit of your post. I support the appropriate charges being filed against both the looters in Portland and the insurrectionists in Washington. Justice can walk and chew bubblegum at the same time.

Yep, it’s quite common for folks on self-guided tours of the US Capital to smash windows to gain access to restricted areas while congress critters flee for cover. The Capital Police are just there to observe in case some out of the ordinary thing might happen.

Ummmmmmmm, they tried to storm and burn down the federal court. When Trump brought in the feds to protect the courts you guys attacked him for it and claimed he was inciting violence by trying to protect a federal court. Courts are there to protect Democracy and the radical leftists wanted in. But, alas, where was the left in proclaiming that the protester's attack on a federal court was an attack on our Democracy?

Stupid comparison. The insurrection against the Federal government was staged by the President and allowed by police.

I would have had no problems with his bringing in Federal Agents. Instead he brought in a paramilitary to "disappear " people who looked kind of liberal. Big difference

He has since apologized for that - see post #58.

Hoisted on your own petards?

Seeing the same crimes committed but excusing or amplifying them based only on the political affiliation of the perpetrators seems odd to me.

How about you?

 

[What if...?]

Sure you could. Any time, anywhere you wanted, with no concern for your safety or convenience, right?

What you show is what he said.

I too was in Portland in September. And the property damage was limited to a few square blocks in a city of 120 square miles. Most of that damage being grafitti. I recognized many areas. Because those same areas have been filmed from a bunch of angles, not because the unrest and damage was widespread.

In this case, you are the dog and your media is the tail wagging you.

There are far too many people who view unarmed predominatly black protesters as nothing but gangsters/thugs and yet view armed predominantly white protesters as righteous and patriotic.

Those moronic trespassing, violent right wing rioters are damn lucky hundreds of them were not shot. I have never in my life seen a bunch of useless police that are there to protect the capitol complex and it's members. It was a disgusting failure of the capitol PD. I am sure the officer who shot the women will be investigated.

But here is the problem. When cops kill unarmed blacks on our streets and then let off with no charges, how do you compare that to what happened on Wednesday?

I don’t compare it. Both are wrong. I thinks it’s wrong to compare them. However the left seems to be approving the riots this past summer in the name of justice yet totally dismissing what happened Wednesday as some kind of planned coup or insurrection. Our President to be fanning the racial flames instead of being the peacemaker he promised to be. There’s hypocrisy on both sides. The country is radically divided. Both factions looking for justice. White people wondering why BLM and Antifa are seemingly getting a way with murder, black people wondering why whitey didn’t get shot up during Wednesday’s event.

That’s not what I said. I don’t agree with him at all, but he has the right to say it. What’s happening in our country is way more complicated than what anyone on this board has the ability to express. It’s not a simple as blaming the condition of the country on Trump alone. Neither are just white conservatives to blame. Everyone contributes by the way they live. How they vote. The things they say. 74 million people voted for Trump. To throw a blanket on them and call them clueless and bigots is to show your ignorance. That’s what the Sargeant does. Ignorance is a compliment to such behavior.

The Master Seargant can speak for himself of course, but nothing you just said actually exists in the post you quoted, at least that I can see.

But I do agree that throwing a "cluless bigot" blanket over 74+ million Trump voters is neither constructive nor accurate. Most of them would probably acknowledge Trump as a *****-grabbing malignant narcissist piece of shit, and it's a sad state of affairs that they seem to believe he's even less of a piece of shit than 90% of the Democrats in Washington. Each side is operating on a different set of facts, and neither side is willing to trust the other sides' facts. It's a f***ing quagmire.

Comparing vandalism by a few of a Portland courthouse closed for months resulting from deliberately politicized and mismanaged pandemic, a courthouse used as propaganda bait and the staging area for unmarked security contractor provocateurs hired and dispatched as a political campaign spectacle, with incited, duped, zombie trump cultists storming the U.S. Capitol in joint session, directed (for weeks !) by the fanatical sitting POTUS, his son, and his lawyer to descend on the Capitol for the purpose of preventing the final, ceremonial process determining the presidential election winner, after the POTUS and many of his elected party members blatantly lied for nine months about the election being rigged, stolen, if that POTUS did not "win", is an obscene but expected argument from you.

The people assaulting the Portland federal courthouse used explosive devices and lasers directed at law enforcement. Minimizing it as "vandalism" is a disservice to the truth. Trump should have cared about protecting the Capitol building at least as much though instead of egging them on. Imagine the noise we'd be hearing if Biden had personally addressed and directed the Portland rioters.

It works both ways. What you describe as noise coming from the right, the right describes as noise coming from the left. Biden will prove who and what he is in the coming months. Remember what Obama said about Biden. “Don’t underestimate Joes ability to f—k things up”. That comes from someone that knows Biden. Time will tell.

Sorry, you lost me with your kooky nonsense. I'm a fascist now because I don't like people vandalizing courthouses, wrecking a "few city blocks" in many of our cities for months on end, and threatening diners in our nation's capital, all while Democrats barely pay lip service to condemning it, and all in order to ram through their political goals?
