I didn't say one word that was untrue or otherwise untoward, much less politely racist. In fact you lied like a dog in trying to say I was being "politely racist." And let's understand this one point, your spins and ducks and dives aren't very effective, nor are they very well executed.

The freedom to PEACEFULLY assemble, and to PETITION the government for redress of grievances.

Not congregate in the middle of the night with intentions to burn down and pillage and loot and destroy the businesses and lives of the law abiding citizen's whose property they target on any given night. It's quite a leap to think that peaceful assembly covers parading around in paramilitary gear or motorcycle helmets and gas masks, armed with baseball bats, and bricks, and frozen water balloons or water bottles, or power tools, or garden implements, or commercial grade fireworks; or with incendiary devices purposely designed to quickly get buildings burning past the point of being salvageable by the fire department. And the carnage certainly does not stop with buildings, the burning smashing or destroying other people's vehicles and anything else of value they happen to come across, all of which BTW drives up everyone's liability insurance costs. Looting hundreds of millions of dollars from the rightful shop and store owners is not peaceful. Thousands of buildings have been burned or otherwise damaged by these so-called protesters. There is absolutely nothing peaceful about what we have seen across this land.

And the whole thing has been predicated on a lie. The fate of the cop that killed George Floyd was sealed even while he still had his knee on MR Floyd's neck. His own life was forfeit before the event was even over. We didn't need the trillions of dollars in property damage and dozens of people killed by the anarchial aftermath, which has now gone on for over 2 straight months, to spur public officials to act on the matter. And worse, Seattle has not the remotest connection with George Floyd in Minneapolis. They used the incident as an excuse to basically go to war with America.

To wit barricading federal agents inside a federal building and trying to burn them in the blaze is not peaceful assembly. If they want to petition government the best example I can think of is the Declaration of Independence. A signed petition the citizens of the 13 colonies sent to King George to redress the grievances they had with his oppressive rule. The vast majority of these thugs operate by cover of darkness and face coverings.


Your throwing Terrell under the bus is par for the liberal course. And I guarantee he'll influence far more people to vote than you will.

One last thing. Even though your interpretations of what may be the responsibilities of State or of Federal Government don't quite rise to the cartoonish level, please do continue with the Cardfan civics. They're nonetheless hilarious.

The word protest is not in the Constitution, but if it was it would no doubt have been preceded by the word peaceful. The petitioning of government is the honorable remedy. The nightly 'purging' we see is anarchy.

Not a lie when you said it, I questioned it.
IF your disagreement with a party was it's move toward Civil Rights, you ignore that oppression kept African Americans "peaceful," and you suggest minorities aren't Americans...the shoe fits.

Let's not act like all police officers always answer for violence. A lot of the frustration in the Black community is the fact they don't. Public outrage forced the hand in Minnesota on the officers in the George Floyd killing, but Minnesota and this nation has had several instances of ignoring despicable actions of bad officers. See Louisville.

Are you seriously arguing that protesters should take the actions of the colonists versus the British? I'm no History major, but I do know the violence and destruction would be much greater. Or are you just saying write a letter? nicker: How well did that work for colonists?

Again escalation happened when DJT tried to imitate a dictator. So here we are. I guarantee the same would have happened if someone would have tried to smash the OPEN the US protests like they have tried to crush the BLM protests, but the govt. didn't do that. For example, none of those rallies were dispersed with tear gas even though they blocked traffic, defaced property, and hung effigies too. Before you say they were peaceful most of the BLM protests were to until the push for "law and order."

I can't help it that the lackeys Faux News wheels out are jokes.

:hilarious: You totally sidestepped the conversation of this thread so I'll just add that back in.

If Trump is on the right side of history, why is he so hell-fired against changing the names of military bases named after Confederate generals, the banning of the Confederate flag, the removal of Confederate statues, etc., etc., etc?

Who is trying to prop up the Confederate memory today?
