    The time has long past when the destructive and violent rioters in Portland and other cities needed to be arrested and locked up. Why would the rioters stop rioting when there's no downside to it for them?

    What you see here are rioters essentially trying to murder the people inside the ICE building. This is another violent attack by the left on our government and the people who work to keep us safe.

    My guess is law enforcement has intelligence informing them of upcoming riots and they're being told to stand down.

    I remember when some folks on this board wanted that Louisiana couple charged with attempted murder for protecting their property by displaying firearms. What will those same folks say about setting a building on fire with people in it? And this isn't the first time rioters intentionally set fire to a building trying to kill the people inside. Remember when rioters set fire to an occupied police station and barricaded the doors so they couldn't get out?

    As a former associate of mine said once. "It's ok because the whites are the oppressors." In their minds any action is justified because it is in the name of justice and equality.

    Could you imagine the outrage if a group of conservatives set fire to an immigration office?

    If that bothers you, you should have been apoplectic when the trump cult assaulted the Capitol, attempted a seditious insurrection and murdered a policeman, eh?
    I imagine you were clammoring for trump’s arrest at the top of your lungs.

    Is your only response to go completely off topic? Are the lefts actions that indefensible? Actually they are so I get the deflection.

    And your deflection was a horrible one at that since nobody here supported what went on at the capital. This, however, doesn't seem to bother you at all....interesting.

    Any "article" or "narrative" with that many to references to Andy Ngo has ZERO Credibility.

    Poor Andy must be starved for attention again?

    Any estimate of the Over/Under for what Andy paid those people (to poses as "Lefties" and start the fire)?

    Sounds really MAJOR:

    a small blaze in a facility driveway a few feet away

    Hopefully, Joe Manchin won't block the Biden Administration's Multi-Trillion Dollar request for emergency funds to rebuild the Pacific Coast.

    With every bit of real estate between San Diego and the Washington/Canada border reduced to a smoldering pile of rubble.
    Godspeed.:flagus:

    Deflection, deflection, and more deflection.... that's ALL he ever has to offer, but I don't mind the Lefts' comic relief. :banana:

    Ok Yoda ...

    Oh c'mon ... we saw the very rare condemnation from the Trump fans here but most of it was "they were just taking selfies" ... "they stayed inside the velvet ropes" ... "but but Portland" ... "the cops all died of natural causes" ...

    I despise both sides ... the pink haired methhead pukes of Antifa and the supposed adult Trump cult ... send them all to Central America for reality training ...

    So disingenuous. An assault? No. An insurrection? Hell no, they weren't even armed. Murder? No. Manslaughter maybe. But hey, never let a crisis go to waste. "It was an assault on our republic." Yeah right.

    Ok as I always say....context is key.

    Yes they set fire on the ICE building (kinda), yes that's a bad thing, and yes they should have been arrested for that. But without adding additional context this story is purposefully excluding certain details that will paint an HONEST picture of what actually happened. Headline isn't "lying" per say, just not being honest, same thing most of the media does...

    [​IMG]

    That was the fire they set. It was a wood pallet...

    https://ground.news/article/portland-ice-building-set-on-fire-during-saturday-night-protest

    They didn't light the building on fire they lit a wood pallet on fire and put it next to the building. COULD it have set the rest of the building ablaze? Yeah possibly. But this clickbait article is making it seem like the actual building was on fire and the people inside were in danger. There was nobody in danger from this little stunt...

    These crazy little socialist antifa sjw woke kids do all sorts of actual horrible things on a routine basis. We don't need to stretch the truth to paint a narrative about them...

    Wow. This is akin to, I only shot him in the foot. A couple stitches, no big deal:)

    Setting fire to a building if there are people inside is attempted murder. Otherwise arson.

    100s of examples of Leftist riots, violence and murder and all the Left has to defend it all is, look LOOK, insurrection at DC.

    The building was not on fire....a wooden pallet placed next to the building was on fire. There are plenty of cell phone videos of this incident online right now, I even linked one to watch. You can clearly see that the fire was coming from the pallet and the concrete building that it was placed near was not on fire in any capacity whatsoever.

    There was zero danger to anybody in the building from this fire that was placed next to the building.

    The headline of the article is factually incorrect and done so purposefully to paint a specific picture. A "more correct" headline would be "Left wing extremists ATTEMPT to light Portland ICE building ablaze".

    disagree, anyone with knowledge in the fire sciences would conclude the building was on fire

    the adjacent wood became apart of the building on contact.

    Nobody defended the riots. Nobody defended breaking into the capital building.....get honest with your responses.

    The 'but but portland' was pointing out, yet again, the lefts hypocrisy. You can't be obsessed with the capital riots, which were a single day, and be so dismissive of the months of rioting that took place. That's been the reaction of the left and it's pure hypocrisy.

    As always you all never have a problem with riots unless it's from the side you dislike.

    "Rioting for me but not for thee".

    Funny you all bring up the Capitol riot as if to say rioting is bad while ignoring the many riots from your side that a far worse if not just as bad.

    Event: One Wood Pallet set on Fire outside of brick building.

    RW Clickbait Take: The Entire West Coast has been reduced to a smoldering pile of rubble.

    You can't make this up.

    I don't think the left wants to compare the damage, dollar amount, looting, assaults and deaths of Jan 6 and the left's summer of riots.

    No, it would be like someone saying they were shot because a bullet got close to them.

    And no one is defending this. Zero people here.
    Rioters should go to jail. Protesters should be left alone.

    The comparisons are because so many on the right tried to blame AntiFa, or it was a false flag, or they didn’t do anything wrong because the “building belongs to the people” with the Capitol insurrection attempt.

    But you did make it up. The article didn't say anything like "The Entire West Coast has been reduced to a smoldering pile of rubble." Your post is dishonest.

    NO, no one of influence blamed ANTIFA for DC. People said they were there, and they WERE definitely there. But they were just more idiots in the crowd, probably egging people on because that is WHAT THEY DO.

    There were FAR more Democrats, celebrities, influencers, and the MSM blaming white supremacists for all the riots last year, than those blaming ANTIFA for anything that happened at DC. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!
