Donald Trump and the MYTH of the "non violent" protester

@PurpnGold

We don’t have a 100% peaceful society, do we? Why would we expect all protests, all of the time, to be non-violent?

Why do expect violence not to be condemned? The conservative media and the RNC seems to have no problem being anti violent.

Sooo? The first amendment allows for people to peacefully protest against their removal. And many fine people did.

@altair1013

Sorry, but people are judged by the company they keep. If you call yourself a “mom” then you strap on a helmet and lock arms to protect a goon squad, then you are not non violent. If you intermingle with people who pummel police with rocks, bricks, steel rods, frozen water bottles, commercial grade fireworks and try to blind them with lasers, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY GUILTY. A huge part of the problem. You are siding with hyper violent maniacs and providing them cover. If you stand by and watch your allies try to burn buildings and maim people, you are guilty. Silence is violence.

I’m sorry but these two conflicting posts seem very, very hypocritical.

No.

So you agree with violent protests because they fall within a margin of error that is acceptable to you. That is in addition to the criminals which seem to be statistically acceptable to you.

How about no to both. Neither are acceptable and there should be a zero tolerance for both?

You are absolutely free to believe this!

I have a quick question for you.

The conservative media and the RNC has been very outspoken with their condemnation of the violence. Do you thing the DNC and the liberal media could stand to be a little more outspoken against it?

I don’t agree with violence at all. But our society is full of it. We can’t 100% remove violence from our society so why do we complain when a peaceful protest has some violence in, or around, it?

Those people who conduct violence should be arrested. But I am not going to hold a peaceful protest to a higher standard than I hold a Trump rally, for example.

Then stop excusing it. No “but”. Condemn it 100%.

People at Trump rallies are more likely to be attacked than to do the attacking. Just sayin.

Honestly? I have no clue. I don’t watch “liberal media” and have no idea what the DNC really says about any of this.

It’s all a manufactured issue by Trump. I have no doubt the CEC has amplified it because of the horrific election odds facing Trump because of his abysmal and unequivocal failure in addressing the COVID crisis. Change the narrative is a big, big thing right now.

We have over 150,000+ dead Americans from this pandemic. It’s the #1 issue facing every single American today. It will be the #1 issue every American will base their decision on for the election in November.

This issue pales in comparison by several magnitudes. That said, I am always skeptical of an overreaction and over-reach by the Federal government when it comes to militarized agents of the state on American soil. It’s the conservative in me that is highly skeptical of these things. Especially when the State never requested federal assistance.

I know that’s probably longer than what you’re were looking for, but’s it’s my honest take here.

Then I will tell you. They don’t have a problem with it. To them, using lasers to blind people is fine. Not even worth covering.

@tnt

How do you feel about trump keeping company with Epstien?

Start a thread and I will tell you. It’s really rude to hijack my thread and change topics.

It’s not a hijack.

You made a proclamation and I was challenging it.

You watch a lot of liberal media huh? Which outlets do you spend the most time watching I’m genuinely curious which of the liberal media outlets believe “using lasers to blind people is fine.” I assume you have links or evidence to support this claim. Because it’s pretty outrageous on its face.

[altair1013]

Did he blind her? Hit her with a pipe? Throw with an IED at her? I’m betting he is telling her to back up and not interfere with the arrest they are making. What about you?

Honestly, the vast majority of your comments on my threads are referring to me personally. Not the topic. Can we please discuss the topic? Do I have your permission?

Silence is violence. Which media outlet has condemned the lasers?

Ok. And I’m challenging you to start an Epstein thread. Once you do that, I will be happy to comment on Epstein. Fair enough?

Deflection noted and discarded.

I already told you I don’t watch liberal media. You claimed you did. I asked which ones made the claim you suggest. And then you punt. That’s a really weak cop-out. It’s your claim. Which ones? Where is your evidence? Are we supposed to take your word here?

No. By all means do not take my word. You have three options.

1. Assume I’m telling the truth and believe that the media is pretty much giving the rioters a pass on the violence.

2. Believe that the media is demanding and end to the violence.

3. Research it for yourself.

Do those options seem reasonable to a Cornhusker?

[Blackwolf]

I disagree with your premise, based on all the media I have seen. The evidence is not there to support your allegation.
