Make No Mistake, Democrats Will Not Protect...

[Leonhard]

Is there something else you'd like me to say?

Well I did make a point, I know JimL had said it and you're on a roll disagreeing with him but... Right-wing terrorists have actually killed more people than Antifa in this decade.

[Leonhard]

Or maybe I am totally misreading the situation, is it only a condemnation you're interested in. I.e, you'd be satisfied with the claim "This act was bad", and have it be left at that?

[Cow Poke]

Then why should I condemn this or that part of Antifa, or the liberal movement as a whole. It just seems that conservatives have a get-out-of-jail card here, but I have to defend that you can support these protests without making these kinds of arguments. Why isn't it enough that I don't condone the violence?

Let's start with --- do you oppose the looting and rioting that happens in conjunction with the protests?

[Cow Poke]

JimL, Tassman and Starlight, are all trolls. They are here for the flaming, that's about it. They're about as genuinely liberal as Darth Ex or demiservative or Epoetker were genuine conservatives.

I've condemned almost all of those acts, and while I have mixed feelings about CHAZ I've expressed that it probably was a very bad idea.

See, something on which we TOTALLY agree!

OK, ya lost me on that one. Too much water under the bridge.

Some good news...

"Missouri Governor Mike Parson (R) suggests he will pardon St. Louis couple Mark and Patricia McCloskey if they are charged over brandishing firearms to keep protesters from their home."

"brandishing" in this case means aiming a loaded pistol with her finger on the trigger, as if she was about to shoot an innocent passer-by to death, and her hubby backing her up with something similar to an assault rifle.

Yeah, cause, though she was handling a gun incredibly badly, it wasn't "brandishing" in the sense that we use that term.

Looks like this cow is going to do it!

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner said Monday she's charging the couple who flashed guns at a crowd marching to the mayor's office last month with felony unlawful use of a weapon.

She was a scared woman who was obviously not familiar with firearms, and should not be allowed to touch one until trained.

They can deliver a nice big 'ol juicy civil suit at her door when they either get acquitted or pardoned.

Yeah it's not "brandishing" when you are protecting yourself on your own property. That's a lawful use of a firearm in Missouri which has a Castle doctrine

Yup - this is more and more obviously an abuse of power by a nutter prosecutor. Which is the REASON I had stated before that this couple has been irritating in the past -- she probably already had an axe to grind, and is abusing the power of her office to "get even".

Protecting themselves from what?

Ah, you're not familiar with the facts of the case.
