    I call the violent Leftist excrement using the same tactics of mob violence and intimidation employed by the French Jacobins, Russian Bolsheviks and German National Socialists stormtroopers, too.

    What I don't need to call them is anti-American because they've made it clear that they're anti-American themselves. At this point I would be just belaboring the superfluous...

    At the moment, anarchy seems to rule the day.

    Well, thank goodness the protests were peaceful, and also non Covid spreading!. Could you imagine how much it would cost if there actually was rioting and those thousands of people all around the world ignoring social distancing guidelines nightly for over 3 months straight?

    So glad CNN has me convinced that there was no violence, and there was absolutely no logical way that 90 plus straight days of large groups of people, in multiple cities across the US, during the height of a viral epidemic nonetheless, could accelerate the spread. (talk about science deniers!) Where would I be without that news? I'd be left having to use common sense and believing my own eyes...

    Oh, and I almost forgot, police are out target shooting black folks, ..... again.

    It's not anarchy. It's orchestrated, Leftwing violence that is being encouraged, enabled, legitimized and emboldened by Leftwing officials and the Leftwing media.

    The Nihilists at the core of this violence have been attacking the pillars of our society for decades and now that the Leftists in positions of public power and influence have made it clear that they have their support the level of violence has escalated and will continue to escalate in the future.

    If there was systemic racism, why would the cops just focus on Blacks and not Asians or Hispanics? Or is it Blacks just can't seem to control their emotions or actions?

    Biden has not condemned the recent violence and the Leftists responsible for it. He danced around condemning the violence and the perpetrators in specific by condemning violence and its perpetrators in general.

    It's the same tactic Demokrats employed to avoid condemning jihadist sympathizer Ilhan "Somebody Did Something" Omar for expressing her anti-Jewish sentiments. Instead of censuring her in specific they condemned her bigotry in general, so she escaped condemnation and her colleagues escaped condemning her. Same thing happened with Biden and the "progressive" sturmabteilung he refused to condemn.

    This is a textbook example of dissemblance. They give you the impression they are condemning someone and/or something when they are not.

    Biden condemns 'violence directed against police' after two LA deputies shot, North Carolina officer killed

    Democratic presidential nominee on Sunday Joe Biden condemned violence directed at law enforcement after two Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies were shot and critically wounded and a deputy in North Carolina was killed.

    Biden called the attacks “absolutely unconscionable” and said they “bring only greater violence, injustice, and grief to a nation in desperate need of healing.”

    “Brave officers who pin on the shield carry a sacred responsibility and make an extraordinary sacrifice. Just as they owe it to the American people to protect and serve with honor, restraint, and accountability, Americans owe it to them to lessen the needless danger of their inherently dangerous jobs, Biden said.

    “Acts of lawlessness and violence directed against police officers are unacceptable, outrageous, and entirely counterproductive to the pursuit of greater peace and justice in America — as are the actions of those who cheer such attacks on. Those who perpetrate these crimes must be brought to justice, and, if convicted, face the full brunt of the law,” the Democrat added.

    Why do you think Biden, et al, while condemning the recent violence (after seeing the polling data), do not condemn the policies of the mayors and governors who consciously and deliberately allowed the violence to continue?

    How about businesses forever destroyed,, peoples dreams crushed and the lives lost as a direct result of the riots and the countless lives lost due to 'defunding the police"? It's a communist's wet dream,all the while shedding all responsiblity for the destruction, or shifting it to the one man with true empathy, Pres Donald J Trump.. who is so very unlike his predecssor who stoked up hate to highs we tho't we;d never see again after the 60's. people who voted for the "first black president" hoping to prove that we aren't a racist nation forgot about the unbridled racist hate from the democrat(left) side were sorely deceived.

    I’m not exaggerating at all, i gave examples and proved my point beyond any reasonable argument otherwise. Dems and blm are doing exactly what I am pointing out. Those affected are statistical anomalies, and their anger doesn’t justify the false narratives that dems and blm terrorists are putting out that are resulting in officers being killed

    Which isn't currently. Obviously it could start up again, but it could be over too. My point is that while many people have opinions on the riots, they're not currently affecting many people's lives. People see Portland burning, but they don't see it coming to the suburbs.

    The content of your post was clear. You did exactly what I said you did. You can 'say' otherwise all you want.

    Your inability to understand a post doesn't mean it makes no sense.

    The people in the suburbs own those businesses being burned. They are scared to go to the suburbs for the reason below.



    Matches but no cigarettes......Hmmmm!
