Portland Protestors abducted by secret police

Well lets see. The right wing playbook is basically drawn from certain dubious sources that teach never defend, always attack. So option 1 will be the Gul Dukat approach - "If you only would stop doing these terrible things, I wouldn't have to round up and execute all these Bajorans". Ignoring that there are reasons that the Bajorans don't like the Cardassian occupation (such as them rounding up and murdering random Bajorans), and that even if terrible things are done, that doesn't justify every possible response.

Option 2 is underway in Seattle, where the two DHS planes are "nobody knows".

Option 3 took a big blow after Trump called the Catholic pacifist an "Antifa agent looking to destroy police equipment" but we'll see how it goes. Trump has about burned out everyone by just being such horseshit that that's almost forgotten about.

Stop pretending like the rioters haven't set that courthouse on fire and destroyed locks and chains on the doors to bust in, multiple times. This is defense.

I don't care if you call yourself a pacifist. If you are providing cover for people who are destroying and instigating, you are guilty by association.

It's like I'm fucking psychic, right? Or maybe they're just that fucking predictable.

Simply calling an argument illegitimate doesn't make it so. It just makes you an ass.

Local evil clown thinks it's okay got tear gas moms and break the hands of veterans politely reminding you of your oath as long as somebody somewhere broke some windows.

Federal personnel being sent to American cities to impose order? I'd object but, that would make me a traitorous white supremacist, wouldn't?

To be fair they haven't sent in the Marines just yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if that is where we are headed.

Local mom thinks she won't get teargassed after throwing a brick through a window cuz she's a woman.

Apparently the extreme provocation is multiple "violent" counts of graffiti. Who knew that kids who spray-paint dick drawings on the wall behind the theater are dangerous violent protestors and outside agitators?

It's just graffiti, plz ignore the multiple attempted arsons committed at the same courthouse.

I find the designation of "The Left" stupid in general.
It is a massive umbrella term that lumps together vastly different movements, and somehow they all want to destroy the nebulous concept of "Freedom" which is defined as...?

And most of them despise each other. Communists hate Anarchists, Anarchists spit on Communists, and both of them have a contempt for Liberals that goes beyond words.

[BridgeConsoleMasher]

That's something that's quite comical.

You have to learn how to laugh at it. Otherwise you'll go mad.
