for those who can not tell the difference, this is a peaceful protest this is not - note that in the second photo the "protesters " are well equipped for their weapon of choice. officer sicknik was sprayed and later died. ...
We all agree. Since your picture is from Portland Oregon of protestors facing off with BLM. And just an FYI, Sicknik died of natural causes in Washington DC. Not the Portland riots https://www.newsweek.com/theyll-bla...vist-using-bat-nazis-portland-protest-1525566 You were saying something about 1st Amendment for dummies? Any other fake claims of pictures we can look at?
And just to clean up the other false post you made about Sicknick Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes after defending Capitol on January 6, medical examiner says https://www.cbsnews.com/news/brian-sicknick-capitol-riot-died-natural-causes/ He wasn't beaten to death with a fire extinguisher He didn't die from bear spray And he didn't die due to injuries Sicknick suffered two strokes at the base of his brainstem caused by a clot in an artery. How many BLM protest pictures would you like to see that were actually BLM protest pictures, and not some random picture you found on the internet trying to push another fake insurrection claim?
Those aren't BLM protestors. Those are Proud Boys. One wonders what possessed a black man to join them.
Did you know that the leader is Cuban? The group has also continually rejected white supremacy. Indeed, the founder of the Proud Boys, McInnis left because they were not far right enough for him.
He probably didn't get the CNN memo that they are "racist".... Is he "the black face of white supremacy" ?
I was outraged as well when the top image came out, I remember it distinctly. I have a very simple rule I have held throughout all of this going back to Occupy Wall Street - if you as an individual are causing violent or property damage you should be arrested and sent to prison, everyone else should be left alone. And I've been getting **** for it from both sides ever since.
that is a good rule and i like to follow it. long before occupy we became aware of the "black blocks" who are now called "antifa." they are bad news and should be avoided. i have taken to the streets several times - the viet nam war, the iraq war, the bank bail outs with occupy, the wto. we may have blocked traffic but violence is counter productive. the actual decision makers on these bad policies have to be reminded that not everyone thinks war (or whatever) is a good idea.
I supported all those protest causes except Occupy, but that's irrelevant, it's freedom of association I really support.
We don't know the context of the first picture. Likely they are blocking traffic. That is not a peaceful protest.
Correct. He was attacked by members of Trump's insurrectionist mob who will not be charged with murder. Score one for you guys.
Sicknick died of a stroke. Which is considered a "natural cause" because it usually implies pre-existing conditions. A stroke is frequently caused by stress. You know... stress like that which is caused by being beaten, gassed, and attacked by a mob of terrorists.... So no! Don't discard the culpability of the insurrectionists so easily.
How can it be an insurrection, when nobody is charged with insurrection? How did the mob murder Sicknik, when he died of natural causes due to a blood clot? You don't get tired of getting caught with all these fabrications over and over?
Interesting. Because the main causes of blood clots are: sitting still for long periods (he was not doing that on January 6), old age (43 might sound old to younger people, but it's not), pregnancy or birth control (...) and injury.... Remind me which one of those he had the day before he died....
Everything that happened that day contributed to his death, according to the coroner. It wasn't a coincidence.
So . . . you now acknowledge you were wrong about that being a photo of BLM protestors? And, yes, there were armed rioters in DC.
There was a fire in Portland yesterday. It burned out a store downtown. It was determined to have been set using an accelerant. Nobody has been charged with arson. Yet.
So when the arsonist is found, he only did it because someone told him to? If thats how it works now, who on the left was the accelerant for 578 riots killing dozens of Americans and destroying billion in American businesses. See how that works
