Real storm troopers exist in the fervent minds of leftist graspers, you grasp for a term that is satisfying, right?
FYI: Storm Troopers wear white, they have weapons called blasters, they work diligently against the rebel forces.
And if you have not seen cops beaten and attacked by "peaceful protestors", then you have very selective news gathering.Last edited by JimL; 07-24-2020, 09:50 AM.

Originally posted by JimL View PostThey are violating the 1st amendment rights of the people. If they were there to protect federal buildings, that's one thing, and they could easily do that without violently engaging the citizens, but it is clear that that is not why they are there. Trump, 3 months before the election Trump is sending federal troops around the country to engage in law enforement of the people. That should tell you the purpose of the troops he sent into Portland aren't there to protect federal buildings. Lafayette Plaza was the testing ground.
No, I grasp for the term that is apropo.
I don't know what you're refering to, but I'm refering to Hitlers sturmabteilung, aka "the Brown shirts."
Show it then. I've seen them fighting back, throwing bottles or whatever, but they are not the instigators.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
"peaceably assemble" and "petition" not "riot and attack"
And if you are so concerned with the first amendment why do you support the government telling people they can't peaceably assemble in Church? Or anywhere else they are limiting gatherings? You only seem to support the first amendment in regards to rioting, and it doesn't even support that.

In case you are, if you walk up to a government facility with armed soldiers-officers-police-whatever guarding the building, it is best not to get violent. You'll totally dismiss your 1st amendment rights, and you will be unceremoniously arrested.
I personally have a pristine record on this account. I've never been arrested by the Feds for becoming violent while they are actively guarding their building.
I am cool like that.
I have no interest showing you anything because.....orange man bad.

Originally posted by JimL View PostThat's right, and you can't attack, beat, gas, pepper spray, or shoot at peaceful protesters.
If there are troublemaking interlopers then there are ways to go after them without attacking the peaceful protesters.
The one thing has nothing to do with the other, petitioning the government for redress of grievances is a necessary freedom that can't be suspended or you can kiss that right along with democracy itself goodby. The religious, though most of them are smart enough to know better, can protest their temporary suspension of congregating in church as well, but not if they no longer have that right.
