    Maybe because lynching hasn’t been a thing in decades and isn’t even relevant? Rioters are killing, attacking and hurting people and causing millions in damages. 100s of millions when you account for lost revenue that was just starting to come back. Insurance isn’t free. Guess what rates in cities are going to do after all this? UP UP UP. City leaders just fitting around allowing it to happen is NOT protecting anyone. Easier to blame Trump for everything.

    ~ Trump may indeed be forced to use the military if these weak governors and mayors refuse to use National Guard.

    It's just so odd, with the Left running in the Streets with Terrorist Group, Antifa, blocking traffic, running down cops, throwing fire bombs, looting stores, beating people up, shooting a Federal Marshal to death, shooting police officers and burning down businesses that, with a straight face, you claim the right is formenting Civil War? My goodness, let the scales fall from your eyes!

    Our two Leftwing Attorneys charged with firebombing a police car. Attempting to distribute firebombs to other rioters "so that those individuals could likewise use the incendiary devices in furtherance of more destruction and violence” is likely to produce a longer sentence, particularly if they can show a broader conspiracy or interstate movements or communications.

    This reflects premeditation and planning to unleash multiple fire bombings. The FBI is looking at the ownership of the van and anyone who may have rendered material support. The defendants can expect to be charged as domestic terrorists under the definition in subsection 5 of 18 U.S.C. 2331: Have you ever been to a hospital burn unit? This idiot has his female companion, in combustible clothing, lighting a container of gasoline and then throwing it out the window? Do you know the tragedy that would have resulted if she screwed up and poured that lit gasoline onto her polyester clothing? This isn't funny. What the Left is doing is foolish, dangerous and horrible.

    The term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—

    (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;

    (B) appear to be intended—(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and

    (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

    I urge you to face the truth, and publicly call out to your fellow Leftists to cease their madness and come to their senses. You folks are fooling no one. We all know that it's the Left that is doing this. Pretending otherwise only makes your situation worse.

    Your pretense that it's the Right fomenting civil war is bizzare beyond description. Everyone know who is doing this, terrorist and terrorist affiliated folks on Left.

    Take Samantha Shader and her sister, arrested after throwing a firebomb into a police vehicle with four officers in it.

    Horrible.

    Samantha Shader, 27, of Catskill, NY, is charged with throwing the incendiary device. Her sister, Darian, 21, then tried to stop the arrest of Samantha Shader. The police have charged Samantha with attempted murder of a police officer, attempted arson, assault on a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment. Her sister faces charges of resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental administration. The police have released a picture of Shader throwing the Molotov cocktail.

    Samantha threw the device through a rear window of the police van and then bit an officer on the leg as they arrested her.

    They won't be able to make a mental capacity defense with the preplanning and pre-construction of an explosive device. No prosecutor will bargain this down as if successful four officers would have burned to death. Shader is looking at serious time. For a Class A felony, the maximum term is life imprisonment. Even a Class B felony includes up to 25 years in prison.

    These people are destroying their own lives as they attempt to destroy others. I urge you to take to social media and urge the folks in your movement to come to their senses and go home.

    Trying to pretend that that this is all some sort of Right Wing Conspiracy to make you folks look bad is an unhelpful delusion. Yes, you guys look horrible, and you have the power to stop your own destruction. Just put down the "shovel" and go home!

    Or, we could use the Joe Biden reform method across the country:

    "Teaching a cop that when an unarmed person is coming at them with a knife, to shoot them in the leg instead of in the heart. It's a very different thing." - Joe Biden, solution to police brutality.

    Last week, before any of this started I suggested the Red states break away and reestablish the U.S.A. Leftists here said that would be Treason! It makes more sense for both sides with every passing minute. They can keep all these third world cities and implement their Socialist Utopia free of white oppression. Let's make a deal.

    LOL NOONE supports that, you lose the argument when you use a bad cop turn into riots trying to kill cops and demolish the very people and business that supports your cause. The lunacy on the left knows no bounds and good luck in November lol.

    lol ok good luck, I'm certain watching this, these people couldn't run a convenient store much less a government. That has nothing to do with race, the left has lost their collective minds supporting this. EVERYONE was sickened by what they saw in the Floyd MURDER, now we watch the left burn their lefty run cities, brilliant.

    It's just so unusual that you pretend that the Right is doing this rather than the Left, when it is so clear to all who is rioting, burning, looting and burning.

    Horrific: Young Iowa Woman Screams in Agony at Rioters: One of You Shot My Sister! The Cops Did Not Do This!

    [​IMG]

    “Now I’ve got to bury the only person I had in my life, the person that took care of me,” says Kelly.
    She calls the person that killed her sister a "protester" but, once you are shooting people, assaulting, burning and looting, you are no longer a "protester" you are an insurrectionist.

    Pretending this is a big plot by the Right to make the Left look bad is very delusional and can't be healthy for you. Face facts, urge your fellow Leftists to stop the killing, assaulting, looting and burning, and go home.

    Protesters out after curfew in NYC are not chanting "George Floyd". They're chanting "Di Blasio Resign".

    ~ I have never been more aware of the importance of our U.S.Constitution - in particular the "right to bear arms". The recent "protests" / riots gave me new insight on how average American citizens may soon have to arm themselves.
    I for one am glad that President Trump is standing strong on enforcement of the peace and citizens right to self-defense with firearms. Certain groups have become too violent, selfish and unlawful to do otherwise.

    Let's be clear about what is going on. The looters and violent thugs are leftist radicals and the "peaceful protestors" are just naive rubes who buy into the phony narrative put out by race baiters in an election year.

    Do they also care about the Tooth Fairy because it is just as real as racial injustice.

    Rioters often kill people, sometimes whole groups of people. They're like arsonists in that they can easily kill hundreds or even thousands of innocents who get caught by their crimes

    So you're denouncing the violent acts and a call for calm and peace in our country while we deal with the fallout from what happened in Minnesota?

    What are we protesting though? Chauvin has been charged with 3rd degree murder and/or manslaughter, and I'm sure a trial date will soon be set. And even if the other 3 officers aren't charged(though they should be charged with neglect), they lost their jobs and given the publicity, there isn't a PD or a security firm that would hire any of them. Their days as law enforcement are effectively done, even if not in the form of a trial.

    At this juncture, what people are doing is meaningless.

    Lets think about that. You might want to go back and read the OP in which I presented evidence that there are both (peaceful) protesters and rioters involved. They are not all the same

    And what, may I ask is the "nonsensical, objectively incorrect narrative" that is being promoted by the MSM and Democrats? Police brutality? Murder? What?
