    As long as the locals defend it.

        It isn't they who associate with the criminals,CP, it's the criminals that associate with them. The troublemakers are only there because the protesters are there, not vice versa.


        It's your incredibly childish and hate-filled manner of writing that invites criticism.
        You're projecting again, CP.


        No, he didn't. Wasn't the same thing at all.
        Yes he did. Banana reuplic tactic.

          Are the peaceful protesters too freakin STUPID to go somewhere else and protest peacefully? Why do you keep defending this anarchy?

          You're projecting again, CP.
          This is your "go to" when you can't articulate a position.

            Are you too stupid to undertand what "the troublemakers go where the protesters are means."

            This is your "go to" when you can't articulate a position.
            That you were projecting once again is my position.

              Do you see ANY of the "peaceful protesters" complaining about the "baddies"?

              That you were projecting once again is my position.
              You're an idiot.

              • Didn't see anything in there about the "wall of moms" being there at the same time that a bunch of anarchists were trying to burn down a federal building.

                  And you're focusing on the wrong thing here.

                  What do I mean?

                  Don't you agree if there wasn't so much violence involved in these protests/riots then it wouldn't be "over-emphasized"? So maybe, just maybe for once the emphasis needs to be on stopping the violence itself rather than worrying about whether those engaged in it are being demonized.







                  1. off the top of my head; Minneapolis, Atlanta, Seattle, Chicago, New York City as well as Portland. And I'm pretty sure I missed a few.

                      • not in Portland, but looky... peaceful protesters set fire to a house with a child in it, and blocked the fire department from getting to it. That takes a lot more than a "few infiltrators" to accomplish something that coordinated.

                        Rioters Set Fire to Building With a Child Inside, Blocked Fire Truck From Putting Out the Fire


                        RICHMOND, Va. -- Rioters blocked a fire truck from responding to a burning home early Sunday morning in Richmond, according to Richmond Police Chief Will Smith.

                        “Protesters intentionally set a fire to an occupied building on Broad Street. This is not the only occupied building that has been set fire to over the last two days. But they prohibited us from getting on scene,” Smith said. “We had to force our way to make a clear path for the fire department. Protestors intercepted that fire apparatus several blocks away with vehicles and blocked that fire department’s access to the structure fire. Inside that home was a child.”

                        Smith’s voice filled with emotion as he recounted the event during a Sunday morning press conference.

                        “Officers were able to help those people out of the house. We were able to get the fire department there safely,” he said before pausing to regain his composure. ”When you take a legitimate issue and hijack it for unknown reasons, that is unacceptable to me. It's unacceptable to the Richmond Police Department and unacceptable to the City of Richmond.”

                          • Police in Richmond are saying that white supremacists are infiltrating protests to discredit BLM protests. There has been a lot of uninformed speculation about it but if the local police is now saying it, I'll generally take it seriously.

                              It would take a LOT of White supremacists to set a fire without anyone trying to stop them, and then blocks away, keep a fire truck from getting to the fire. That takes a lot of people cooperating and coordinating.


                              Did you notice one of the white supremacists they arrested in the video you linked to was black?

                                I'm not saying they were responsible for this particular incident because the article says nothing about that specific incident. But I think it's noteworthy in general. Do you think the police are just making it up?
