    At this point I believe his supporters know its nothing more than fear mongering and they're willfully being disingenuous. There's 320 million people they cite like anywhere from 6-20 incidents then have the gaul to say "widespread"....

    doesn’t matter in the least, perception is reality. The crazy riots are what make it on camera, so that is what they are all labeled to be like, regardless of whether it is true or not. Ah, the joys of 24/7 news, where there are always cameras to catch the craziness.

    Who is doing these studies, CNN and MSNBC? Obstructing both business and passage on our streets with both the threat and actual violence is not peaceful protest. Not even mentioning the arson, looting and actual murder that we have seen. This is a media manufactured circus.

    Right. So the fact that the day before election day Fox mentioned it over 1000 times (which was about average per day leading up) and 2 the day after and 0 all days thereafter, is just an absolutely pure coincidence.

    Riiiiiight.

    You guys have been talking about Charlottesville for years now. A single incident with one casualty. Given your above statement, can we now characterize that as fear-mongering and disingenuous?

    There have been thousands of protests this summer. You've only seen the few that erupted in violence.

    Everybody I know is tired of him. That's all the proof I need. Whether they're tired enough to vote will be proven shortly.

    You really reduced the death of children to anecdotal evidence to defend rioters attacking fellow citizens. Sad.

    Children died for crying out loud. Like the dude who mentioned Charlottesville. You want me to be an ass? Heather Hayer chose to be there. She chose to be at a rally where such elements exist and to rub it in even more, she chose to stand in the street where any dumbass knows you can get run over.

    Unlike these occupy wall street losers, BLM, ANTIFA who do nothing positive with their lives the kids by contrast did nothing but live in their home city or in the especially tragic case of the 8 year old, sit in the back seat of her parents car.

    So yes, I treat ANTIFA and BLM as a far greater threat. They are callous enough to murder children and they blockade roads knowing damn well that our lawmakers have yet to write a law to empower the driver of a vehicle.

    Do you honestly think there are people here so heartless that they don't care about children?

    It was a guilt trip. Like I said, I'm real familiar with it. The point that was being made in no way showed disregard for anyone's death, especially children.

    I wasn't here during Benghazi, but from my experience on another board, when people ran out of arguments, they invariably went to, "Tell that to the families of the four dead." Same tactic.

    Sorry to intrude on the convo, but it just reminded of this. Thought I'd mention it.

    Blaming the feds for the making the protestors act violent in Portland is like blaming a woman when her husband beats her because she made him mad. It's like saying that they don't have any control over themselves and it's not their fault for throwing molotov cocktails at other human beings or looting or trying to burn down buildings. It's a third grade level argument.

    That report was from an anonymous source which makes it dubious at best.

    Speaking of deaths how many did trump cause by telling Wooward one thing and everyone else another? Sad.
