    I know exactly what you're thinking; what would happen if they burned qurans or gay flags?

    What purpose does burning bibles have in regard to what the rioters want? (What do they want?) This is not about blacks, or police brutality, or injustice, or anything else. It's pure bigotry and hate.

    I'm not sure how the left will defend this. Will they try to say those books aren't bibles? Will they go with their favorite standby of population ratios? Will they say the video is fake? Or will they completely ignore this event?

    There's a video and some great comments on the link below.

    If they burned Qurans, there would be suicide bombings within the week.

    They know that they can only burn bibles because Christians won't try to kill them for it.

    If they are burning bibles, they are idiots. Burning any book is a moronic gesture.
    But we have seen so many of these videos that turn out to be mislabeled as far as time and location, I'll hold off any
    other comments till verified.

    In most cities building a bonfire on the sidewalk or in the street is still illegal. But not in many white majority Democratic Party controlled cities.

    You should know what they want. They want the end of American culture and government. They aren't going about it in an effective manner and that, at least, is good news.

    The Democratic party is radically embracing their KKK heritage. Burning Bibles is front of a federal court - with the federal courts most responsible for ending discrimination against minorities - is no different than their KKK burning crosses.

    Everything those riot rat idiots do is so "Take that, dad!"

    I watched Christians in OKC burn books and albums that they claimed were evil in the 1970's and 1980's, it had to do with rock-n-roll culture destruction.

    I can't think of any major cities that trust Republicans enough to let them control it

    Kudos for taking a rational stand on this. Here are some links. Try typing 'bible burning" and it automatically fills in Portland. There is no reason for this except to piss people off.

    Your links have a history of posting false stories. I'll wait for better sources.

    IMO they just want attention.

    And as was noted they are not wanting deadly attention. Burning the Koran would get some killed. These people are cowards.

    Lennon upset people when he said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ! Looks lol

    Before rock and roll black Christians said the Blues was devil music!

    Burning any book is bad news.. The actions of would be tyrants.

    Its born of ignorance and stupidity.

    Lolwut?:roflol:

    "Left-Wing Activists"? Says Who?

    That crowd looks like a bunch of RW Plants, most likely financed by Trump's Dirty Tricks Squad (making a False Flag Video) to get a Few Retweets from the "Portland Dems Bad" Crowd.

    But, let me get this straight, I wouldn't want to miss anythng:

    According to Trump and the RW...

    An 8-Second Video (filmed in one small section of one town) in which people are seen throwing books into a fire...

    Represents the total breakdown of law and order and the imminent collapse of The Republic (before it dissolves into Anarchy)?

    They've got to be kidding.:roflol:

    It is always good to see that Trump-Inspired False Flag Operations are alive and well.

    The Comic Relief is Priceless.

    It doesn't really matter WHICH "Book" was being burned.

    Some people feel that they can find "salvation" in Grimm"s Fairy Tales.

    Others can develop an attachment to other Completely Unproven "Stories".

    I guess it all comes down to what people believe?

    As far as the "comments" on the video?

    A bunch of Trump Supporters Rage Tweeting (over an 8-Second Mock Outrage Video)?:roflol::bored:

    In any event, it seems that the actions in the video were protected under the 1st Amendment.

    The people burning flags and bibles are burning their own property. You may not like it, but they are within their rights. The Klan is equal to those burning others' cars, stores, and buildings.

    I think hanging people probably rates above book burning. So we'll call your post a fail.

    The KKK didn't burn crosses, they illuminated them.
