BLM/Biden supporters attack Trump supporters at the Trump rally in DC

Define dangerous here…

I see Oppression based on physical features or sexual attraction as dangerous.

In the US, Conservatives have historically been very oppressive to people who do not look or act like they do.

@Optrader

Right. So because John Hinkley shot Ronald Reagan in the name of Jodie Foster, she should be blamed then according to your logic.

I don’t blame the Bible. I blame the conservatives between 1619-1965ish who used the Bible as an oppressive tool. They interpreted the Bible in such a way that justified their atrocities.

The Bible is a tool to advance conservatism. However it is not required to be a conservative.

You mean the way Southern Democrats formed the KKK right after the Civil War?

You mean the way that Democrats enacted the Jim Crow laws?

You mean the way Southern Democrats treated blacks all the way through the 60s?

You mean the way George Wallace, the DEMOCRAT Governor of Alabama stood in that doorway to protest segregation of schools?

You mean the way SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS beat all those peaceful protestors at Selma?

You mean the way that Joe Biden fought against bussing and segregation of schools through the 70s because he didn’t want HIS KIDS to have to go to school in a “racial jungle?”

You mean the crime control Bills that Joe Biden got passed in the 80s, that put so many Black men disproportionately in prison?

You mean the way Kamala Harris used those same crime bills to put so many blacks in prison for weed, when she herself admitted to using it?

You mean THOSE dangerous and oppressive things?

Now be good Lib and ignore all those truths because they don’t fit your narrative…

You can not use the Bible to justify the American slave trade because such justification IS NOT IN THE BIBLE!

It’s simple, when you define conservative as being racist, every racist ever was by definition conservative.

That’s the way it works…They have been programmed not to think however.

It did not stop conservatives from using it that way.

“Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.”

Never said all conservatives are racist. Just the ones who fought for slavery or for Jim Crow

There were different forms of slavery. Some of those were voluntary. What you have quoted applies to servants in general. It could apply to an employee giving faithful service to their employer. In any event, this still is not a justification or condonement of the American slave system.

Meh. Seems like the MAGA crowd came lookin for a fight and found one.

I truly thought you were better than a stupid, dumb ass comment like this one that encourages violence.

Ok. I guess this kind of response is kosher.

In reply, I’ll just say that when one side brings shields, wears helmets, and plays military-man-dress-up … they are coming there looking for a fight. And, low and behold, they found one.

You just proved my previous point about many interpretations of the Bible. You interpret it differently than conservatives in 1619. There are certain interpretations that lead to believing that owning humans is your god given right (see property rights)

Meanwhile the person that sucker punched Trump supporter from behind was released last prison for child sexual abuse.

Seems to be a pattern here.

there is more video to that as well. The Trump supporter in question started the confrontation. All of this is a disaster for everyone. No one is blameless here.

There is some foul language in this video but it includes the start of the confrontations.

Didn’t see this…seems like he came for a fight and found it.

Thanks…

Lol. That was in DC yesterday.

Then they should have been left alone to march in their MAGA parade without antagonists trying to interfere. Then they would have just marched on through with their shields and no problem.

Lol.

Now if they had showed up at a BLM march, I would call them antagonists.

Strange. I couldn’t find a single post calling MAGA and Proud Boys antagonists for showing up in Portland

Check again. I made posts regarding that at the time and said they had no business going there with their spray guns.

Were the people who were attacked wearing shields and dressed military stile?
Is a shield also a defensive weapon used by someone who fears they may be attacked? Should they give up their first amendment rights instead?

But military dress…shields. He was there to cause trouble.

One thing I couldn’t help noticing in this video…how the cowards always attack from behind.
