    You can deny what is right in front of your face, but that does not make it any less true. You are being disingenuous at best if you refuse to acknowledge the MSM, wokesters, and left politicians ALWAYS making it about race when a black person runs afoul of the law, regardless of their guilt.

    Well sure...if you believe CNN is the arbiter of what defines "Peaceful Protesting", which it seems you do. So, by all means, call the attack on the Capitol "peaceful" if that is what floats your boat. You look just as silly as CNN did with their headline of Kenosha but that's your issue.

    Ad hominem fallacy: I am not the topic of this thread, nor is my "personal bias" or my "agenda."

    Find me ONE news story where a white person was shot by a black cop and the races of the parties are prominently featured in the headline or the copy. I can give you two dozen the other way 'round.

    A CNN reporter was literally standing in front of a burning building in Kenosha, WI and telling viewers it was a "peaceful protest." That is the standard.

    At least you admit CNN (and by extension other media outlets) are flat liars.

    Of course the Capitol breech was a violent criminal act. Anybody who would conclude any differently would be obfuscating at best, if not outright lying. But we heard 156 days of straight looting, burning, rioting, and two homicides in Portland was "peaceful protesting."

    Term of art, not meant to be absolute. Reasonable people understand the distinction.

    No we didn't. That is a gross exaggeration on the part of you.

    You seem pretty fired up about this one. Sorry that your terrorist friend was killed.

    Sorry that you want this to be about racism. It wasn’t and it won’t be regardless of how hard you try.

    Of course it's not about racism. You should be able to detect satire as a literary device. We are told black people are targets of police because of their race. Well, then a white person can be the target of a black cop. Or nether condition is true. Every time, without fail, the MSM goes to great lengths to report the races of the parties -- but only when it fits the narrative, ie black person shot or injured by white cop. Denying this is pallid cognitive dissonance.

    they could have been, would have been a justified shot it they did it as people were breaking in - it would have been justified

    just like in this case, most were not shot, but many could have been, and it would have been justified

    if I did something like either of these examples, I would know I could be shot....

    if you break windows and then crawl through it, at anyone's house, you may get shot, that is a high risk activity - if you do not get shot.... your lucky

    these people were terrorist trying to overtake the government via a coup

    Bow to the robots asked: "Show me a mainstream media report that called the Portland events 'riots.'"

    You responded: "What Portland events? Time and location. Please be specific."


    Just helping everybody out with the time, date, and news cast. There really is no argument that riots occured.

    Do you see a difference between a person being shot while breaking into a secure facility versus a person being shot in the back while they run from police?

    You claimed 'peaceful protesting' so let's not change up the nomenclature. My argument is when there was violence it was called such. Violence et al, was not called "peaceful" during the entire 156 days.

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/27/us/portland-protests-proud-boys-antifa-blm/index.html
    After a day of mostly peaceful protests staged by ideologically opposed groups in volatile Portland, Oregon, the demonstrations turned violent as night fell Saturday, prompting police to declare a downtown gathering unlawful and make several arrests.
