[seer]

And you wonder why citizens are arming themselves and why we don't trust feckless leftists politicians to protect us.

Portland police declare riot on 100th straight night of protests as 'fire bombs' hurled at officers

Police said "fire bombs" were thrown at officers during the protest overnight.

Attempting to burn people alive is just another way to protest peacefully.

Okay, I'm waaay over my limit here so that's all for the weekend.

Well it's justified because of a few bad cops...

Only it wasn't because of bad cops, it was because of false racism narratives about shootings that weren't true. The only recent death that was/is controversial is George Floyd, but the cam footage now pretty much dispels any belief that it was racially motivated.

My fave edit of this so far.

If this is what the left calls "peaceful protests", then I'd hate to see their idea of violent ones.

Wait, if Trump wins...

Idiot, set himself on fire...

Wins or it ends up as a stalemate because of the inevitable problems and controversies that will arise. Either way, we've only seen the tip of the iceberg this year.

If Trump wins with a mandate some of the higher-up Leftists (Pelosi, Schumer) are going to take a low profile, because they will realize that they're about to get the boot.

And I see governors and mayors relenting to feds restoring order to their cities.

I definitely think the bolded will happen because the chaos and violence will be so bad, they'll have no choice. Unless it turns into an all out civil war between the political parties (then they could use Trump's forced federal actions as fodder to keep fueling the unrest). I'm not ruling the possibility of that out either.

Reminds me of the middle least morons who accidentally set themselves on fire trying to burn American flags while yelling "Death to America" --- only to end up hopping around like retarded rabbits, trying to stop the fire out.

Any peaceful protester with half a brain would move down the street from these riots and not have anything to do with them.

It AMAZES me that there will be morons who say, by opposing these RIOTS, we are against "peaceful protests".

Perhaps in some major cities. The suburbs and rural America (I have one foot in both) have been quiet. The enemy hasn't shown his face around here.
