is Seattle the new fort Sumter?

Do you, though? You argue on the one hand that barricades and violence are called for, and on the other that they are not. You argue that domestic terrorists are peaceful on the one hand, and on the other that they are not.

What is the difference between the two aside from your party motivated feelings?

I doubt that you're trying to hide anything from me, and it would be pointless to try in any case. You do seem like a person very much trying to shove a square peg into the round hole of self, though. The first and most competent lies are always the ones we tell ourselves. Like the lie you told directly above. That wasn't for me. That was for you. You tell us all about what you would want.., in fact free rhetoric, if you were in seattle, but that you argue from fact rather than feelings. That wasn't for me. That was for you.

An audience of one.

It's true that barricades and violence are called for in some instances, but not in the instances I referred to. In the instance of CHOP I don't believe the barracades are warranted. Those who set them up had no right to infringe on the people who lived and conducted business there.
If they don't give it up I think force is required.

The covid protesters were not violent. The violence that has occurred during the current protests against innocent people is totally wrong. Many of the people hurt by this were also people who were recipients of the mistreatment that the burners and looters were protesting.

As far as domestic terrorists go, I don't believe that most of the demonstrators in either case are terrorists. I do believe that terrorists are involved in the ongoing unrest.

You seem to be trying to make it look like I believe something different or that I'm hiding my true feelings. Sorry. I'm not who you think I am.
