    Citizens have rules that are not open to interpretation, personal intuition, gut feelings, hairs on the back of your neck, little devils or angels sitting on your shoulder.

    American's are well aware of what our orders are and what those orders mean from Police. They come down from our Commander in Chief. They contain no ambiguity.

    Did you ever stop to think that maybe looting is a money making operation? Selling stolen goods can be very profitable.

    You know when Trump, the president of low expectations, sends the Feds after antiFa it will be the biggest joke of his presidency. Mostly because the antiFa that he, and you, so joyously hate does not exist and has never existed.

    Now there are the anti fascists who go out of their way to stand up to racists and fascists, to impede their rallies and propaganda. And I'm sure you hate them all the same. But it makes you all look rather silly to get all relied up over ghosts. And ghosts from your own imaginations at that.

    So in your eyes the police are justified when it comes to police brutality.

    Isn't it odd. The cause of the protests is police brutality, yet the right, the authoritarians of our country, want to solve the problem with more police brutality.

    black folks must know their place when a Police Officer gives them lawful orders, or there will be consequences. these orders are not open for interpretation, there is no ambiguity.

    maybe i didn't make myself clear, but this isn't africa. America is a first world civilised country.

    LAPD Chief Michel Moore called the situation “disturbing” and said he felt compelled to release the recording after a separate cellphone video leaked last week, leading to a public outcry.

    “I, along with many of you, watched the third-party video that was released last week, and I have serious concerns,” Moore said.

    Just because you have your head deep in the sand doesn't mean that everyone else does.
    To say what you just said reveals one of two things......

    1). You have no clue
    2). You have a clue, but support the fascism

    Educate yourself about Portland and Antifa before you do further damage to your character.

    The last time I responded to one of your posts you reported me because you claimed I insulted you, when I merely pointed out the error in your argument. So I know a little about your character. Especially considering that your current post seems to exist for no other reason than to insult and demean. But, you see, I have a rather healthy ego. I really doubt you can hurt my feelings.

    So what, did Mark Levin explain to you all about the antiFa, and now you are the big antiFa expert?

    It may come as a surprise to you but I have been sitting here in my lofty non-ivy tower. Because, you know ivy is an invasive spieces in Oregon, so I would never let ivy grow up my lofty tower. Which is kind of weird because I tried and tried to get ivy to grow in Colorado, and was all but impossible. It must be one of those plants that just does not like high altitudes. Which is kind of why I moved to Oregon. Oregon has the best growing conditions of any place on Earth. Pretty much throw out some seeds, and watch it grow. Serendipitously global warming has caused increased yields for most plants in Oregon.

    Anyhow, back to the story. From my lofty tower I can see most of the Portland City Center. At night, when things are going on, I can see the flashing lights. But it is too far to see any details. But my son, until recently lived in the Pearl District, on the edge of the city center, where all the yuppy towers are. He is into photography and I have often accompanied him on walks through the city center while he takes pictures. We were there at the first Patriot Prayer rally which was kind of lame and unorganized, and at the second when a crowd of thousands showed up to counter protest. There were only about twenty anti fascists who got into a street brawl the Patriot Prayer instigated and fought with glee. Yet if one listens to right wing rhetoric you'd think it was just some crazy antiFa attacking freedom loving Patriots who were just trying to practice their right to free speech. I just don't get the part where cowardly spraying bear spray into the crowd while telling everyone in Portland to F$#@ off and die is exactly just someone wanting to exercise their first amendment rights.

    The mayor had decided that the Patriot Prayer and their allies, the Proud Boys were nothing but trouble makers and as such denied them permits to have marches and rallies in Portland. To get around that, the Patriot Prayer got a permit to hold rallies in the park across from the federal building which is federal property.

    Eventually the police gathered up enough evidence and began arresting members of the Patriot Prayer, and soon after all the violence stopped. The last hurrah was when some Proud Boys came to town to hold a rally in defense of men accused of rape.

    At some point Andy Ngo, a right wing shock jock provocateur wanna be got beat up by a rape survivor. He sure talked tough, until he was beaten badly by a girl. And in his humiliation, he was pelted with milkshakes.



    I suppose you you could go through life thinking you know everything there is to know on the subject. But that would be selling yourself short, would it not? After all, if there is something that you don't know, that is making you look a bit foolish for not knowing, being the know it all and all.

    Take a gander here:

    https://rosecityantifa.org/

    Walk into their front door and see what they are all about. No sense in going through life hating something you nothing about.

    I still think you owe me an apology for your rudeness.

    Do you know what I find so entertaining about the protests and riots? Other than the fact that I rather enjoy a little chaos ever now and then. It has been laying bare, for all the world to see, who the real authoritarians are. Conservatives just love, and I mean just love, the way Trump loves to make love to the flag, many conservatives just love to insist that liberals are authoritarians. Which is just funny.

    Then comes along the protests and what does the conservative world want to do, along with our moronic president? Shut down the protests in the most authoritarian manner.

    So from now on, it is quite clear which side is authoritarian. But not all is lost. One could always see the light and repent. After all, us liberals tend to live more interesting lives.

    :roflol: - Real life disagrees with you.

    The Antifa kid who police say incited riot in Pittsburgh has been arrested and watching him turn himself in with mommy and daddy is the absolute greatest thing on the internet today.

    https://twitter.com/jason_howerton/status/1267575598693715974

    #BREAKING NEWS: Pittsburgh Police say 20 year old Brian Bartels is the man who incited riots in downtown #Pittsburgh yesterday. This is video taken of him destroying a police cruiser. An arrest warrant has been issued. https://cbsloc.al/2Minpv6 *WARNING* Explicit Language

    https://twitter.com/realtimwilliams/status/1267275659413458948

    ANTIFA is a domestic terrorist group and they are now being hunted, arrested or forced to turn themselves in by their Mom and Dad.

    It would help if you looked at the different national news sites in order to see that the riots are being covered.

    CNN and other left wing media outlets and writers are telling outright lies about the riots and who is causing the meyhem. It's disgusting and it is inching this country closer and closer to an outright Civil War. We can't live in a country where people outright lie and encourage the destruction of our communities and cities. Especially those in power and those who claim to be "journalists".

    NY Gov. Cuomo and Mayor De Blasio should be arrested and real leadership put in to stop the rioting. They are encouraging it and it needs to be stopped.
