Yeah because this video was needed at this time. Who the fuck greenlit this thing?
Probably Stephen Miller, Nazi-in-chief of the WHYeah because this video was needed at this time. Who the fuck greenlit this thing?
I don't know why the shop of Hitler holding the bible made me laugh. Or why I never noticed that Hitler had a bad comb over too.Yeah because this video was needed at this time. Who the fuck greenlit this thing?
Walker is right but not in the way he thinks. It takes guts to go for a stroll after you’ve had your citizens gassed and shot at while peacefully protesting just so you can take a picture with a book you’ve never opened.'Trying to stay alive': 70 protesters sheltered in stranger's home during D.C.'s curfew
A D. C. man says he sheltered about 70 protesters who were allegedly corralled and pepper-sprayed by police on Monday night in Northwest. Thecurfew in the Districtended at 6 a. m. , and the protesters left his home safely and peacefully. Taylor, who was sheltering in Rahul Dubey's home all...wjla.com
that takes guts, not this f'n photo op
@Greenman If the police are lawless why do we expect protesters to behave any differently?
car must have been antifa's? nah they just love smashing random shit
Smogzinn, and anyone else who makes or defends statements like this:
"There is almost no way to get to the rich and powerful, they live in walled palaces. No, you have to hurt the middle class. You have to hurt the ma and pa store owners. The real problem is that they don't care. Make them care and they will get something done. "
and that walk to the White House wasn't? Propping up the bible while not knowing how to hold it? I suspect there were good motives behind that girls actions as oppsed to TrumpMmmmmmmmmm that sweet sweet delicious virtue signaling. Nom nom nom nom.
Please understand, I have this violence. It makes me profoundly sad. I wish protests could say peaceful. I wish we has a society where we could have civil discourse about issues that a part of our society is facing and for them to feel heard and like the rest of society is taking their issues seriously. I wish it didn't have to come to this.
But I also know that as long as a society does not listen this sort of thing is inevitable. You and others were saying that rioting does not help their cause, but I am trying to explain that historically it really has, and why it does. In fact for disenfranchised groups it is just about the only thing that actually does work. We really could stop this cycle if we were willing to listen and seriously talk to minority groups about their problems, but we would rather either ridicule or ignore them until something like this is once again inevitable.
Or perhaps I can say this in a way you might be familiar with:
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Oddly enough nobody here has condoned rioting, looting or property destruction.Do you think anyone in this forum would accept this rationale if I started bombing abortion clinics by this logic?
I keep asking posters like that who is in favor of those things here and strangely they don't respond but keep trotting out the same old talking point.Oddly enough nobody here has condoned rioting, looting or property destruction.
At least one city is trying to get its officers under control.

Did you actually read his post?Did you see the post I was responding to?
Well you do have the right to protest Abortions (even while you don’t care about the ones you cause). You don’t have the right to burn down abortion clinics.Do you think anyone in this forum would accept this rationale if I started bombing abortion clinics by this logic?
Are the rioters trying to overthrow the government so as to establish a more just one? If so, how the hell does looting Target advance that objective?

Antiabortionists have done both. So if I asked you how does committing violence against abortion providers advance your cause and your response is I’ve never committed violence that was done by other, maybe you’ll understand that the protesters and looters are not the same people either
