    Oh so they didn't return to the scene of the crime, they never left. Even after the fire was extinguished, the very same people who started that fire remained there until the next day when police arrived and teargassed the culprits

    Oh, absolutely there would've been planning. You're correct that a bunch of streets would have been shut down for Trump's walk, but you're not correct in assuming that it would've created "a log jam full of cars preventing the passage of emergency services vehicles." Emergency services would obviously know which streets cannot be accessed and could have worked around it. However, you're making the assumption that these protestors would not have been moved on if not for Trump's walk. You've been shown SELECTIVE portions of video which only shows non-violent protestors. According to Park Police, no teargas was used and they had no idea about Trump's walk. They also reporting being hit with objects such as bottles. D.C. police Chief Newsham, said that federal law enforcement officers gave warnings to disperse and there is no blanket right to protest in any form - that's not what the First Amendment guarantees! There is simply so much more to this story than you think. Now, I'm open to the possibility that it was all one big conspiracy between Trump and the cops, but you are totally CLOSED to the idea that it's not what everyone thinks!

    MY precious emergency vehicles? Are they not precious to you too?

    The so called 'peaceful protestors' weren't all peaceful according to the police unit which moved them on. US Park Police said that some were throwing bottles and bricks. This human waste scum ruined it for the peaceful ones. Unfortunately, it's not practical to only arrest/move on the scum. They ALL had to go. Plus, they really all had to go anyway given that they were blocking a public road and street.

    Then what the hell point were you trying to make with "no-one is 'welcome' in a place boarded up?" It was a very random thing to say, seemingly with zero point!

    Aren't some particularly zealous protestors more than capable of going for 24 hours? Either way, I'm not even saying that it's DEFINITE that they never left OR left and returned. It's simply a possibility. Either way, the church is not just some totally random landmark - it's a very historical and significant landmark which had JUST been set on fire hours earlier, and you think authorities would allow it to be put at risk again? Yeah right! Also, there is no right to peacefully protest while blocking a road, potentially preventing the passage of emergency services vehicles.

    That's not been proven to be what he did. It's a conspiracy theory that Trump conspired with the US Park Police to clear the protestors. US Park Police says that they didn't know about Trump's walk, and that people were throwing bricks and bottles at them.

    Sure, but even if they DID use teargas, there would still be the lie that Trump conspired with the US Park Police to clear the path for him.

    Presumably wherever traffic control told them to go.

    Why are you mentioning the White House protestors?

    And you know all of this how exactly?

    By whom though

    It would be more of a prime target for someone like the Boogaloo Bois who were apparently running around trying to start a civil war

    I had never heard that term until you used it yesterday. Today, I see it again and Googled it this time...

    https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2020/05/27/the-boogaloo-movement-is-not-what-you-think/

    Absolutely! I see 3 of these asshats were arrested in Vegas for doing just what you said.

    We'll never know, but I suspect it's people like that as much, or more, responsible for this violence over Antifa, who generally only appear where there are Fa.

    And now DHS is pointing out another potential group of bad actors in these protests

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/homeland...george-floyd-protests-as-cover-232248790.html

    This may or may not be BS used to justify employing the military, but it certainly doesn't single out Antifa anymore..

    Actually those protesters not doing violence by looting, burning, murdering are creating a diversion for antifa and violent people to take advantage of in perpetrating increased violence.

    You hit the nail on the head. You haven’t said anything, multiple times.

    You claimed that Pelosi’s “lack of grace” was reflected in “her entire statement “ in its context.

    So help me out and post a link to the “entire statement” to which you refer so I can see the words that you claim amount to a lack of grace.

    Every right thing that a political figure does is good for the country and good for his/her reelection. It is inescapable.

    More than 60 US Secret Service Uniformed Division officers and special agents were injured starting Friday night through Sunday morning near the White House as protests rocked Washington, DC, following the death of George Floyd last week, according to a statement from the Secret Service.

    The officers and agents were injured when protesters threw “projectiles such as bricks, rocks, bottles, fireworks and other items,” according to the statement. “Personnel were also directly physically assaulted as they were kicked, punched and exposed to bodily fluids.”https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/george-floyd-protests-05-31-20/h_cb459ab077b164295d8d61d80987e3fb
