    There is no issue.

    Look at the way our Rightys responded. This was red meat for them.

    RT, next time, put some effort into it when you gin up a fake story.

    Unless it is gay pride flags — those are open game. And other people’s property at that.

    I am fine with charging them a cleanup cost. Shovel and a pressure washer

    Sorry that triggered you so...
    So much loaded emotional key words.

    I have a home in a very liberal area and a very conservative area due to my business operating in each, so I have no idea what you are talking about me not leaving my conservative community. As for me doing anything you recommend I will let you imagine where I will tell you to place that thought.

    As for conservative areas being a utopia; the substance abuse issues, lack of educational attainment, lack of healthcare options, and general poverty disagree. But I guess we all have different standards for “utopia”. Maybe that is yours.

    Wouldn't this be hate speech? Personally I dont care about hate speech. I think anyone should be able to say what they want. But for those who make a big deal out of offensive words and hate speech like racial slurs, etc etc, wouldn't his qualify?

    I really don't care that much about this. I'm not christian, though I do think the bible has some spiritual truths. But I think the burning of any book is the height of ignorance.

    Far more than Antifa or BLM have killed, and yet we are told they are an existential threat. But if the right wing agrees to quit pretend that Antif and BLM are a serious threat, then we can talk about dropping right-wing extremists too. Something tells me you won't agree to that.

    IF this is true that mebonees are burning bibles then we have morons on the loose. But wait the so called network" to "reported" this is RT. That stands for Russian Television. If RT says that water is wet I get another opinion. Brig art chimed in. Now that's a hum dinger.

    I am waiting for non propaganda adult run outlets to actually report this.
    I am not buying what Communists or Russians have to say.

    Asinine comparisons as you don't know the political affiliation (if any) of murderers is Chicago et al. Considering about 50% of the US population doesn't vote at all, its silly to claim any correlation.

    We do know that the enforcement and funding arm of the KKK is the Aryan Nation - and those people are into murder for hire, drugs, and all sorts of nasty crap.

    When I first saw this thread title I said "holy smokes" that's not nice. Then reason caught up and I say let's wait.

    With this sort of thing, there has to be someone that can claim harm.

    Problem is, that wasn't a BLM message. It's unclear what, if any, message there was. Or who the injured party might be.

    And that assumes it wasn't fake, and it sure as hell looked fake to me.

    That is right but that action was wrong too. Two wrongs do not add up to one right.

    It's obviously anti christian. I would say they are the injured party. I don't see why it being BLM or not has anything to do with anything.

    Time foe the super heroes Truth Squad to appear!

    Exactly.

    It would have been the same thing if they were burning copies of the "Cat in the Hat" or "Winnie the Pooh".

    In fact, to many people, burning the above-mentioned books would have been a greater loss.

    This whole fabricated mock outrage is just (yet another) comical "Left Bad" narrative that (except to a handful of Trump Extremists) falls on deaf ears.

    This latest bout of mock outrage is based on an isolated incident, by a few people, in one city.

    So what? They burned some books. Big Whoop.:flagus:

    So what? Christians did one of the earliest recorded book burnings. It is in the Bible. And since the burners owned the books why should it concern anyone else?

    We’ve been through this before. Many of The crimes committed by alleged right wing extremists had nothing to do with their political views, but those crimes are included to inflate the numbers. But if you want to show me all of the political crimes they committed, I’m all ears.

    How often do you see crimes from right wing extremists?

    Isolated incident? Starbucks bathrooms was an isolated incident. The yogurt shop was an isolated incident. The Floyd fiasco was an isolated incident.

    Just imagine if this were Qurans being burned.

    I don’t know if it is true or not, but this sure fits The lefts agenda.

    This is one of my favorite left wing fire videos. I turn to it whenever I need a good laugh.

    If Christians were being persecuted, you would likely be able to get standing as a group. But that is not the case.

    I mentioned BLM, because it doesn't make sense. Since this is a question, it's also not in the Antifa wheelhouse. They've never gone after religion.

    I looked at that 3 times, looking for contextual clues. There aren't any. Did you notice the kid with the film camera? Kids don't use film. The chanting was weird, as if they had trouble copying the usual chants those kids use. Most protesters are not overdressed like that. The fire was small, suggesting they started a fire just to burn bibles. But why. One of the things you've prob noticed is that this generation is not exactly subtle.

    I can sum up my thoughts with 3 letters.

    WTF.
