There is no such thing as a 100% peaceful protest for any movement involving ANTIFA agents and professional agitators. The pic below was taken in Minneapolis, and everybody thought that was going to be peaceful too. Genius.Quote:

You're just a hater. Face it, you're heart is black. Your hate for Tump is truly bordering on senile. TDS for sure. I don't mind debating issues with you, but you're just a really angry little person right now. Did you lose a job or something? A family member? I sincerely hope not. No man should be carrying around that much hate for his fellow man....especially a president.Quote:

One of us definitely has TDS. It’s the one who said big whoop to violating the first amendment.
So, telling you the truth makes one have Trump Derangement Syndrome? I don't see the connection.Quote:

Maybe you're just too far gone to save.
No, telling lies and insisting they are the truth are the sign that you have Trump Derangement Syndrome. The protestors had done nothing violent, they were not out after the curfew, and they were well within their rights to be in the park.Quote:

As for the park incident, they were asked to move back and didn't. So the Park Police did the same thing to them that they would have done to me if I had ignored their commands.
I bolted it for you. You said your free speech protections end when you start the violence. There was no violence. So, your either being ignorant or dishonest. I don’t care which. You’ve been equivocating protests and riots...also dishonest.Quote:

I was watching it play out live and have watched the video from the crowd that starts 30 minutes before the assault - no warning occurred. Anyone can see this fact for themselves. If they didn’t deliver the warning in a way that the crowd could know they had been warned, it is not a warning.
Well, now I'm repeating myself, which often happens when I'm talking to someone who doesn't listen.Quote:

BTW, I'm not equivocating. These protests are dumb. Really dumb. Especially in the middle of a COVID outbreak, where many states still have a mandatory "stay at home" order in place. Here's one great example: the Nashville Mayor --a typical liberal-- had a "stay at home" order in place last weekend, but used his social media sites to invite thousands of citizens to the protests on Friday and Saturday last weekend in downtown Nashville. The following Monday morning, he was back to enforcing the "Stay at Home" order, his "closed business" policy and his "no meetings of over 25 people". Do you not see the arrogant hypocrisy in that?
So, according to this clown, you can't open up your business or go to church, but you can go downtown to Broadway and Protest with 100,000 people.
Yes, these Protests are silly. And they will be costly. People are marching, and yet there's no enemy. I've literally heard NOBODY in America say they are glad George Floyd "got what he deserved". To the contrary, from what I can see, everyone has been very remorseful about what happened to Floyd.
Usually when there's a protest, there are two sides, and there are leaders to appeal to. But not this time. Everybody seems to be on the same side, which is a big problem for Protesters. But the Protesters do seem to target the police because they are the publics last line of defense.
This is a leaderless event. There are no speakers at these events....no one to lead the crowd, and no one to formulate a statement of change request. There certainly aren't any notable speakers or activists. There are no Abby Hoffmans, Tom Hayden's, Martin Luther King's or Black Panthers to advocate for a specific "ask" or to deliver a specific message. It's just a bunch of young people --mostly white people behind masks-- who already have their fuse lit, and they are just waiting for an excuse to do something foolish. Nobody is stating what their demands are. As far as I can tell, nobody has even written down a list of demands. And if they did make a list of demands, who do they submit them to?
As far as I can tell, it's just a bunch of white people feeling very guilty about George Floyd's death, which is of course tragic. And they just don't know what to do. But, IMO, somebody needs to formulate an action item PLAN for America, or just go home.
They shouldn’t attack you either HD!
The rest is just silly.
