Says who? Fox?


I think these details matter as much as the question whether masked Tea Party activists showed automatic rifles or semi-automatic rifles when they stormed into the capitol halls of three states. It is irrelevance blown up in proportion for the purpose of distracting.



Nothing will ever change for the better as long as people do not learn to focus on the things that really matter. TV stations dueling with each other, and weapon mechanisms, are not what it is about.

Who cares???

Both groups use the same tactics and they are all criminals in my view.

100% agreed. Seems like too much is being concentrated on the looting and violence and whose instigating it instead of what actually sparked this whole thing.


The heavy handed approach by the law enforcement isn't helping. Even if (when) the protests/riots are squashed, the underlying unhappiness within the populace remains and will just flare up again with the next spark.

Really?

There are lots of sources but I'll use the one you trust.

Quote:

As protesters gathered outside the White House Friday night in Washington, DC, President Donald Trump was briefly taken to the underground bunker for a period of time, according to a White House official and a law enforcement source.

The President was there for a little under an hour before being brought upstairs.

The decision to physically move the President came as protesters confronted Secret Service officers outside the White House for hours on Friday -- shouting, throwing water bottles and other objects at the line of officers, and attempting to break through the metal barriers.
At times, the crowd would remove the metal barriers and begin pushing up against the officers and their riot shields. The Secret Service continually replaced the barriers throughout the night as protesters wrestled them away.

Because that is what our country has devolved to.

"You don't need guns, the government will protect you", say the liberals in charge of the rioting cities.

As long as these kind of disturbances remain in the big cities, all will be well. If someone thinks about exporting this nonsense to the countryside, it's gonna be a bad day for rioters, left or right.

I wonder what the scales of balance would be on how many guns the left has vs how many the right has?

I only have one gun, perhaps I need more for hunting of course wink wink :arrgh!:

Onkel Neal 06-02-20 09:55 AM

The true lefties have been saying for decades no one needs or should have firearms. Now, knowing that a core principle of a liberal is hypocrisy, I am betting they will decide to arm up in the coming years. :arrgh!:

There's a new movie coming out this year that was made last year about a whole city going wild on shooting each other. I couldn't find it, but I did find this: https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnew...ncite-violence

Bricks Found at Protest Sites Suggest Orchestrated Campaign to Incite Violence

Quote:

Violent protests, looting, and rioting have been taking place in cities throughout the country for days following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police, as mounting evidence continues to indicate that these so-called protests are not organically grown, but are being orchestrated by dangerous and well-funded groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter. In areas of civil unrest, pallets of bricks have reportedly been placed, presumably to be used as weapons of destruction by looters when the sun goes down.
A tweet by the Kansas City Police confirmed as much on Sunday:

Quote:

We have learned of & discovered stashes of bricks and rocks in & around the Plaza and Westport to be used during a riot. If you see anything like this, you can text 911 and let us know so we can remove them. This keeps everyone safe and allows your voice to continue to be heard.

Please tell me I have missunderstod what I read and heard on CNN around 16 hours back.

Trump removed peaceful demonstration with gas and rubber bullets, so he could take some picture in front of some church.

There was a clown with news crew(a day or so ago) stating they were going to take it to the suburbs. Good luck with that....

Reminds me of the movie Olympus Has Fallen.

As far as I know, yes.

Yes, the protesters were attacked with tear gas and rubber ammo 30min before the curfew in DC started.
