Rioters Beware! Keep Your Protests Peacful

[DarkerEnergy]

It has nothing to do with the political views, race or accents of the protestors, if they are surrounding or blocking your car then you should be able to get yourself out of that situation.

By murder? Lol....

Wtf is wrong with you?

She's a conservative, what do you expect?

She's a conservative, what do you expect?

No. She's far beyond a mere conservative.

Neo-fascist, alt-right FREAK is more like it.

Don't they realize it can go both ways? Protesters won't always be from the same side

Anything that is done to them is censorship, anything that is done to us is 'law and order'. You can have the exact same circumstances and the results will be completely different. Many of these protests start off completely peaceful, but then police with riot gear show-up, and start looking for a reason to use it. Once a few people get arrested for bullshit reason, that's when things get nasty. Used to happen at metal concerts all the time.

It never happens at conservative rallies despite those protestors blocking traffic, harassing people just the same, and brandishing all kinds of weapons. Police are in the back pocket of the conservative movement though, so it's no surprise they get treated favorably.

That doesn't surprise me.

You realize that 'protestor' and 'rioter' mean different things, right?  I've taken part in both and they are really, truly, amazingly different.  For example, very few people drive through a riot.

Boru

Yup. I know the difference.

Almost nothing makes me feel morally and ethically superior than watching a "Christian" gleefully revel in the idea of someone getting injured or killed just because they don't agree with their methodology.

Thanks for providing the lighthouse, A Theist.

Where did I say anything like that? And who agrees with rioters destroying property and committing acts of violence? No. I don't agree with their methodology, and no, I don't agree with drivers running people over, either. You're just a morally and ethically superior pompous ass.


You're welcome. Anytime.

And you appear to be a neocon troll with too much time on his hands to me.

Oh, come on, now, folks. Let's face it: Americans wishing to exercise their right privilege to demonstrate riot in order to petition protest the actions of their government deserves to be heard run down like a squirrel on Highway 71.

Get real, people.

What is it about lèse majesté that makes you think it a good idea?

And don't use those guns to shoot out the windows of starbucks and an apple store, because you know you're going to be in the starbucks next week on your apple laptop.

You realize that the hipsters aren't actually the ones who are vandalizing or actively protesting, right?  I mean, they just spent $60 on those new shoes; they aren't going to ruin them running away from the police.

But, anyway, my point remains.  I'm sick and tired of liberals, progressives, whatever, trying to demonstrate peacefully and being labeled as violent rioters.  Meanwhile, right wing groups are routinely going to their protests with guns, threatening to use those guns against the government at every fucking turn, and they never get called violent.  Also worth pointing out, the tea party, the armed ones, the ones who are constantly threatening to use those guns, they've been the ones who have gotten what they wanted.  They wanted the Iraq war and they got it and then they wanted tax cuts and they got them (even if it WAS mostly tax cuts for billionaires).  Meanwhile, no matter how many left wing protests have been had, lefties have been constantly losing on the economic front for the past 30 years.  I have to wonder, if liberals marched for stronger unions, if we marched for a higher minimum wage, if we marched for greater income equality, and we brought weapons to those marches with specific threats to use those weapons, do you think maybe we'd start getting what we want?

Probably not. Mobs like the Teahadists are outgrowths of astroturf groups. Not alone are they too stupid to realise they are potesting against things in their best interest, they're too stupid to look to get paid for their astroturfing.

I never said it was, goof ass commie fuck.

Incorrect, but keep spouting your bullshit.

Also incorrect.

You sure come across neo-fascist to me, Bella. Maybe you need to hire new PR?

I'm not a neo-fascist, nor am I "alt-right".
