Let's stop the nonsense about federal agents in Portland

[seer]

Just saw a video of the "peaceful protesters" barricading the back exit of a building before they set fire to it. It looks like they were trying to trap anyone inside as it burned.

I can't link to it due to language both spoken and very visible in the graffiti.

This is war...

[NorrinRadd]

Welcome back. You were gone for a while.

Yes. I find the invincible ignorance of the infidels and their TDS-addled sometime-allies to be tiresome, irksome and spiritually injurious.

So I need to spend less time here.

This is war...

Still egging for that civil war, eh seer?

[JimL]

Yeah, I keep saying I don't like HOW it was done, but I fully agree that law and order must be restored because the local 'authorities' refuse to do so.

Order isn't being restored, nor is it meant to be restored, the purpose was to create disorder, then restore it so that Trump can run on the old law and order scam, like Nixon did in 1968.

And I think the reason that they refuse to deal with it, is because they have realized there is no "win" here - they have enabled and capitulated to the anarchists, and they'll look silly trying to restore order and failing miserably.

That's the propaganda story you're falling for. The protesters are 99% peaceful until the stormtroopers showed up. Right wing media doesn't show you that, because right wing media is simply propaganda. You should pop your head out of that bubble once in a while, CP. You might actually learn some truth rather than sucking up the lies you love to feed on.

On that note, I kinda wish the feds had stayed out and let the local 'authorities' be painted with their own profound fecklessness. (Except, of course, for the innocents citizens)

Why is that? You think the stormtroopers beating, pepper spraying, shooting and tear gasing citizen protesters don't belong there? You're always hinting that you know what's going on is wrong, but you just never want to come out and admit to it. Too invested I'm guessing.

Jim, I'm not the one rioting in cities. As a matter of fact I posted a picture here from a local paper of me trying to make peace with a BLM guy who was protesting our back the blue rally. It is the left that is burning our cities Jim...

And how do you know who it is that is out there protesting police abuse? You think everyone out there is far left anarchists because thats what your far right wing media propagandist feed you. As it is with Trump himself, that's their goal, to paint an us vs them picture. There are people of all persuasions that are troubled over the police abuse and racial injustice, not only libral progressives. And those protests are, or were, 99% peaceful, until the wannabe dictator Trump and his front man, the Atty. Gen.Barr, sent in the stormtroopers in order to instigate and escalate the violence for political reasons. They're putting on this show for people like you who would be willing to give up your freedoms in exchange for what you believe to be law and order. Here's hoping the American people are smart enough to see through the ruse and throw this fascist bum out of office before this becomes the next Russia run by a Don.
And it's a nice gesture that you shook a protesters hand, but that means nothing when you also defend the sending of Federal troops in to beat, shoot and gas people like him that are legitimately protesting.

Your anarchists buddies are rioting even in cities where there are no federal police - so we can ditch that canard.

[Cow Poke]

Order isn't being restored, nor is it meant to be restored, the purpose was to create disorder,

And your anarchist buddies are doing a fine job.

then restore it so that Trump can run on the old law and order scam, like Nixon did in 1968.

What a steaming pile of poo.

No, Jim -- this anarchy is showing up in places where there are no federal police --- only your anarchist buddies, and they are attacking the local police.

Why is that? You think the stormtroopers beating, pepper spraying, shooting and tear gasing citizen protesters don't belong there? You're always hinting that you know what's going on is wrong, but you just never want to come out and admit to it. Too invested I'm guessing.

I think you're either a liar or a moron, or maybe both.

What the hell are you ranting about? No one here has a problem with peaceful protests but the violent ones are significant (just look at this past weekend). And police defending federal buildings are not stormtroopers. They are only there because these building were attacked and are still being attacked. Should we just let the mob burn them down Jim?

In some cities, your anarchist buddies are even shooting each other.

I'm thinking Jim realizes he's on the wrong side of this, but can't possibly admit he's been suckered, so he has to stick to the narrative, digging deeper and deeper.

[whag]

The right has a problem with kneeling during the national anthem, the most peaceful protest that can be imagined.

But we don't attack police and burn cities over it.

the most peaceful protest that can be imagined.

Actually, I protested the alarm clock this morning and went back to sleep. MUCH more peaceful.

If Trumps stormtroopers were there to protect federal buildings then they would be protecting the federal buildings rather than being out on the streets causing a scene, beating, pepper spraying and tear gasing protesters. This is a show, staged by Trump as an issue to run on since he has screwed everything else up.

[Cow Poke]

If Trumps stormtroopers

Jim, just repeating profoundly stupid stuff over and over doesn't make you look any less stupid.

were there to protect federal buildings then they would be protecting the federal buildings

You mean like some idiot rule where they have to keep one boot on federal property?

rather than being out on the streets causing a scene, beating, pepper spraying and tear gasing protesters. This is a show, a staged by Trump as an issue to run on since he has screwed everything else up.

The idiocy of this can easily be exposed by pointing to similar riots in our nation where there are NO federal officers.
