MAGA protesters in Manhattan crowded out by anti-Trump rivals

Ah, hmm . . . because that's where the GJ is considering the case.

 

I didn't call them a cult. Folks get really sensitive when referring to Trump fans as a cult.

 

Oh sure, Trump would've whined but if the government had a heavy hand on criminal, violent activity prior to 1/6, do you think they try? It's always a balance between civil rights, and the order of a country, but when that order is threatened you must respond. During the summer of love, the government did not respond. And as a result, people saw that and thought the government wouldn't respond again.

The lack of a response over the summer, is the direct consequence of 1/6.

 

Highlighted in red: I don't think the lack of response was from not wanting to as much as couldn't. I know the city I live in was overwhelmed, they didn't have enough police officers everywhere to really deal with it. I doubt any areas did. Then, the scumbags started looting and basically rioting, and social media played a big part, as the cops were busy in one area, social media followers just moved the riot elsewhere and the authorities had trouble keeping up.
In other words, it wasn't an act of allowance as much as it was they didn't have to numbers and force to stop it.
It should be studied and some action plans come up with. Terrorists could learn something and emulate it.

 

Ok. I thought it would make more sense to do it where he will potentially be arrested, so they can form a human wall around him.

 

If he's arrested it will probably be the case where he's ordered to appear in NYC. I believe he still has,a residence there.

 

Just view it as good entertainment as I do.

 

He is a Florida resident.

Not that I care. IMO the protestors are being silly on both sides.

 

They won't get it, and because of that, they'll move quick to option B which is push stories of how Trump doesn't have any support.

 

It's not uncommon to have residences in several states when you're a millionaire. I know of people that claim their boats as residences to take advantage of tax breaks.

Protests are usually only important to the protesters.

 

Is that how you people are justifying the violence and destruction generated by your people now?

Laughable.

 

Apparently they are important to Trump, as he is calling his marauding horde of red, white and blue festooned warriors to protest the law in his favor.

 

It was honestly a very scary and eye opening experience, and while most protests weren't violent, as many as 700+ of the protests turned into a non-civil riot, and that result was devastating(in my home city of Philly, we had the run-in on ATM machines.). And to me, that was an unacceptable loose end in our domestic security(I mean for god sakes, CHAZ was a thing) that showed unique vulnerabilities that laid the ground work for 1/6.

You're probably right that they were outmanned and outmanuevered across the country, but that should have been a blaring neon red light. And according to the fmr House officer Sund, I'm not sure if we've taken the steps to protect our critical infrastructure.

 

Nobody is justifying that violence. I find it abhorrent.

It is quite possible to say that other violence was more of a threat to the country, without justifying or condoning the earlier violence.

And no violence was perpetrated by “my people”. None. I kindly ask you to withdraw that slanderous lie.

 

If he is NYC resident, then he still pays tax there, but I doubt he'd choose to do that.

 

Sorry, but choosing who runs for president is now the dual justice department’s job.

 

I'm sure we haven't ! Not for lack of trying, but I know for a fact that the city police where I live is shorthanded and having great trouble attracting new recruits. Same for almost every job classification, including teachers, school bus drivers, factory workers, electricians, etc etc.
Hard to man a job without people!
It was sad to watch. I think the impetus for protesting in 2020 was fine, but the aftermath and amount of advantage taken was terrible.
The rioters ruined what was a noble cause, as did some of the actions of some like the leaders of BLM.

 

But they had enough to arrest and stop tens of thousands at the Capitol? Come on... The FBI was still showing up at houses and rounding people up just for being at the protest, but they never bothered to show up at one single house of a bLM or antifa rioter.

Please.

 

Dude, there were tons of BLM and Antifa arrests. They mostly happened at the scene. Capitol police were badly outnumbered, so those criminals were rounded up after the riot in order to de-escalate. Please.

 

What the **** are you talking about? Trump can still run even if he's indicted. And this is a state case, so why are you talking about the DOJ? Finally, please explain why you think that someone should be completely immune from the law the moment they announce they are running for president.

 

It's not his primary residence.

 

What law would they be protesting?

 

I give up. What law?

 

I was referring to the day of the protests/riots.
The police in my city were investigating and arresting for months afterward (mostly looters and hooligans).
Your statement "never bothered to show up at one single house of a bLM or antifa rioter." is not accurate, at least where I lived.
Highlighted in red: they didn't. You're making stuff up to fit a narrative. If you're going to debate, please have some factual arguments, or at least have a good reason for speculation. In this case, the facts are too easy to find to use this kind of hyperbole.

 

There was no legitimate threat and the worst violence wasn’t actually the protestors. It was the cop who shot the unarmed woman who wasn’t hurting anyone.

You watch all the video from INSIDE that capital. If you think there was any chance of those people
with all those cops standing around, directing traffic, changing an election, you haven’t seen REAL violence or a REAL riot. I’ll direct you to the million videos of summer 2020, BLM and ANTIFA.

Educate yourself please. No one is supporting what anyone there did. But people and the MSM claiming the govt would have been taken over, are delusional. It’s just pure lies.
