If the protestors want to claim to be just like our Revolutionary fighters, then they better be ready to face armed troops like our founding fathers did. None of this whiny 'defund the police' crap while looting and burning down businesses then crying when the police shoot them with tear gas and rubber bullets. If they want to rebell, then they should be prepared to be treated like an actual insurrection and treated as traitors and enemies of the state.

You don't recall this nutty attempt at equating the two?

Now, you're trying to say they were NOT just "throwing tea into the sea"?

Originally posted by JimL View PostYou have this problem of reading into things what you want them to say, CP. Saying they tossed the tea into the sea, which they did, doesn't mean that they didn't take as much of it as they could carry home as well. Who knows? You don't know anymore than I or anyone else does. My guess is that most likely, they took home what they could.
You're a riot. Defending your anarchist buddies while casting aspersion on the Tea Party actors.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

You're defending the anarchists as "statue topplers" and now besmirching the Tea Party actors as thieves.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI defend the peaceful protests without reservation. I condemn the looting and burning and chaos and mayhem associated with those protests that get out of control, including the destruction of public property that you love to call "the toppling of statutes", which shows your support for chaos and mayhem.
