That’s what BLM got wrong. They didn’t carry enough guns.

Of course, there’s always next time to learn from one’s mistakes.

They managed.

BLM probably was intimidated by the memory of how when Black Panthers carried their rifles at the State Capital in Sacramento, Governor Reagan pushed through one of the toughest gun laws in the nation.

Very possible. Or other, more recent events.

You got plenty of responses you just didn’t like any of them.

Look at the headline…and then read the first sentence of the article.

Coronavirus: Armed protesters enter Michigan statehouse

Hundreds of demonstrators, a few of them armed, gathered in Lansing and many did not wear masks or socially distance.

Once again…you’re eating sheople food and regurgibleeting it in your l’il circle you travel in just like the shepherds planned. You really are a good sheople. Now say it…orange man baaa, baaa, baaad.

I love that word. So fitting is so many ways.

Along with “sheeple” – hallmarks of elitist attitudes.

Elitist? I don’t think that is the category I would put it in.

But you, do you.

so you don’t think your better then liberals?
that is what elitism is.

That is also not what I was referencing with my initial comment. I didn’t throw out the word elitist.

I referenced the word regurgibleeting.

I like it. It is fitting in many ways. For any side. For many situations.

I don’t consider it elitist.

Quit trying to attribute things to me I did not say. You are the only one asserting I think I am better than liberals.

that is what elitism is.

When you call people “sheeple” you are definitely announcing you are better than them. Textbook example of elitism.

Except I never called people sheeple did I?

Go play in someone else’s garden.

Yes it brought attention to how stupid their cause is.

It also brought attention to even their supporters aren’t even sure what the protests goals were.

They are protesting the lockdown but only in states with Liberal Governors.
because in reality this protest has nothing to do with the lockdown its a protest of Liberals in government.

■■■■■■■■■ There were protests in my state and it’s as red as it gets.

Philando Castile comes to mind as a tragic example of double standards applied to those with guns. People learn from cautionary tales like that.

No, nothing wrong it it.

But to make the claim the protests were only in states with liberal governors is a blatant falsehood.

Yes. I worry about it as well, no doubt far less than a young black male.

@WuWei

It’s close enough. I got my libs mixed up a little maybe.

Was it close enough?
You still haven’t answered my question.

The protesters had a clear goal. Did bringing weapons, which they have a right to do, help or hurt them achieve their goals?

Yes.

Their goal is to force the change in the policy. The goal of the protest was to draw attention to the goal of changing the policy. The guns aided in attracting attention, so it helped.

Would you be carrying on about them if they hadn’t?

Far less likely to happen to you being openly armed at a protest however. If you were to take part in one.

As someone who attended many protests while unarmed I have to admit that being shot never crossed my mind. I’ve been tear gassed a few times, but the effects of tear gas not long lived.

In three days we we be at the anniversary of one time I can remember protestors being shot in the United States. At Kent State University a group of draft dodgers threw rocks at rifle toting draft dodgers who opened opened fire. and killed four. The only lesson I can draw, is “don’t make armed draft dodgers feel insecure.”

[WuWei]

@H_Arendt

at rifle toting draft dodgers

There were National Guard units deployed to Vietnam. Did you serve?

[WCD9973]

@WuWei

Yes.

Their goal is to force the change in the policy. The goal of the protest was to draw attention to the goal of changing the policy. The guns aided in attracting attention, so it helped.

Would you be carrying on about them if they hadn’t?

Fair enough. I disagree with you. I actually think the MI governor went way to far in her orders and would agree with them to a point. But them arriving with weapons makes me think this was not a reasonable group that was willing to find a solution.
They simply wanted to protest and no answer would satisfy them, therefore i dismiss them.

And yet here you are, talking about them.

@CanadianJudo

all I see a bunch of people upset they have to live a few weeks without getting their hair cut or yelling at the manger at olive garden.

Oddly enough I don’t really have a problem with the bolded above. OG is terrible.

[WCD9973]

Sure. I would have been talking about them anyway. Doesnt bring them any closer to their goals.

Would you rather be right or would you rather win?
