Nor even close to the worst, @Aragorn.
There are a LOT of people who need to look at any Documentary on the year 1968 in the United States.

Weâre not through 20/20 yet, and I have a feeling the festivities have only started.
So, Ted Wheeler, the mayor, tried to march with the terrorists and had to be escorted away by his security team.
Meanwhile, the terrorists set fire at the the federal courthouse
As he was speaking, they had already started working the fencing loose (again).
Someone should explain to him they donât like any politicians.

They call it âpeaceful protestsâ, tell the police to stand down in the midst of riots and do nothing what so ever to quell the violence. Plus they want the feds to leave their own property knowing full well it will be destroyed.
I understand the lawsuit, they cannot very well tell the fed they do not have the right to protect their own property, so they make up some BS that un-uniformed police âkidnappedâ a peaceful protester, which is horseshit. The detained a suspect who fit a description for a crime against federal property and they were wearing DHS and Police uniforms. They have every right to do that. It wasnât who they were looking for and they let the guy go.
Hell , this is happening in your backyard. Itâs your cities they are destroying not mine. If thatâs ok with you I guess itâs ok with me. But I think itâs very dangerous. Itâs not like there are people just protesting holding signs and making noise, people are getting hurt, a lot of people.
I reckon if itâs nobody you know itâs ok.

I did support Lincolnâs war. I was explaining how little things turn into big wars.
And I am not a âneoconâ. I do not fit neatly into any box. I am more left on some issues, say like drug reform and police reform, but more conservative on others.
I donât think saying âviolence is badâ is a conservative trait, if it is, we are in trouble.
Okay. So, we can agree that you were not being serious when you said:
Edit:
Look into the meaning of âneocon.â Neocon=/=Conservative.
I donât know what you mean by âseriousâ, just stating facts. I did not have an emotional stake in it, just drawing an analogy. Thatâs what happened at Fort Sumter.
Now we have armed factions in the streets of various big cities rioting, burning down buildings, hurting and killing people and targeting the government in particular. Thatâs unsustainable indefinitely.
Apparently, few people seem to care but its a big deal. People are getting hurt and dying at the hands of others. Itâs a political far-left movement that is doing this and they are winning.
Itâs got to stop. If it does not, where do we go from here? When everything is destroyed in one area, will they be content and go home or move to another place and keep going?
I donât know what level of mayhem has to occur for people to wake up. This shit is not ok. Violence is not ok. Itâs not âthe new normalâ and it cannot be the new normal.
If groups are vowing to do violence and commit to âchangeâ a.k.a. marxism by âany means necessaryâ, I tend to believe them.
The notion that this is just a little group of people and doesnât mean much is wrong. They are effecting policy that affects everyone.
When is the violence finally enough? What numbers in terms of destruction are âacceptableâ? How many people have to die before itâs enough? The last tally I heard was 26 people killed directly because of BLM\ GF riots. When do their lives count?
There seems to be this notion that âit canât happen hereâ, but it can and it will if violence is appeased and rewarded and people just look the other way.

Weird. I live 5 miles as the crow flies from one of these epicenters and i havenât seen any policies where i live affected by antifa. But, i bet you live closer, and know more about what is going on, and the areas its going on in.

My citys PD wont be cut, and IDK if you heard how the seattle PDs budget is planning to be âcutâ, but you might want to look into it. Also, nothing has been passed and the mayor (who has veto power) is firmly against that large of a cut.
Minneapolis got rid of their entire police department. The 50% voices are the majority in the counsel. What makes you think it wonât happen there?
Further, youâre saying that you donât care because your city wonât be affected? So youâre ok with the violence and turmoil in a city near you so long as they donât come to your neighborhood?
I have 0% faith in your mayor, saying sheâs and idiot is an insult to idiots.

I havent seen anything saying minneapolis got rid of their entire PD.
Mayor has veto power, and has publicly pushed back and said she would veto.
You should look into how the budget will be changed. You havent, and you wont, but you should.
Good thing you dont live here. Probably wouldnt make it anyways.
Iâm not sure why anyone would want to âhonorâ George Floyd⌠he was a hardcore felon and a lowlife. Yes, the Cop went WAY overboard⌠but I doubt his intention was to murder Floyd⌠a not-guilty verdict, while justified, IMO, will spark new, more violent riots. Prosecutor way overcharged⌠manslaughter would have been a slam-dunk.
Because this movement beatifies reprobates. Itâs among its most infuriating habit.
What the cop did was morally repugnant, as far as I could see. I agree on the manslaughter charge.
There are so many good things that could be done to improve the situation, but the riots have soured any chance of that once again.
The professionally annoyed on the streets in the U.K. should be chucked into the sea, as they apparently believe the Scilly Isles are beset by paramilitary cops.

Your first post here is replying to a 2 month old comment of mine on a thread I stopped following about 1,500 posts ago?
Nice.
Wokeism is a secular religion with appropriate trappings.
