    Do you have any evidence that the "wall of moms" was there at the same time that a bunch of anarchists were trying to burn down a federal building?

    The stories I've seen had the wall of moms between the protesters and the police, and the police between the wall of moms and the building. Pretty sure the police would have been looking the other way if someone was trying to burn down the building.

      Seriously, have you not watched the videos? The REASON the liberals are talking about "the wall of moms" is because there's smoke and/or tear gas in the air, and chaos and mayhem, and the left is trying to say the police are targeting these dear "moms" who are yelling things like F the Police!

      Now, there IS a movement "wall of moms" where women appear in PEACEFUL protests, which I applaud, even if I disagree with their message.

                That might be helpful - kinda like a "don't waste your time with this crap" list.

                  There are lots of videos. Did you have a particular one in mind?

                  No, they were talking about "the wall of moms" when there wasn't smoke and/or tear gas in the air.

                  And you just feel that there are never any PEACEFUL protests in Portland?

                      They have been shared throughout several threads, but it was mostly based on comments JimL made. You don't REALLY believe JimL would make stuff up or exaggerate, do you?

                      No, they were talking about "the wall of moms" when there wasn't smoke and/or tear gas in the air.
                      Yes, there are lots of pictures of a "wall of moms" in peaceful protest settings, in the daytime, without smoke and/or tear gas in the air.

                      And you just feel that there are never any PEACEFUL protests in Portland?
                      Been there, saw peaceful protests all over the place. NEVER saw riots and the attempt to burn down federal buildings, siege police stations, or torch buildings. We actually enjoyed our visit to Portland. Probably won't ever go back.

                        I don't do outrage. I FREQUENTLY complain about Trump saying stupid things, and have clearly wanted to have his Twitter account taken from him.

                        I accept cash, credit card, PayPal, Venmo...

                          You mean the Gold Star family that went on the news and slammed him personally?

                            It would help you, but not in that way. I think you need to swap your authoritarian tendencies for enlightenment ones.

                                You know yourself that what brings you joy, you wish to share with others.
