2020 Presidential Election thread

Looks to be about a 94% peaceful protest.

I support the right to protest peacefully.

Those who incite violence, rioters, looters, etc. can all fuck off and be dealt with accordingly.

Amen

Agreed, but all BLM protests were not violent. Lumping them with antifa is lazy and inaccurate. It is more if you cheer for violence or destruction by one or the other.

.

Refer to my final statement. If you are making excuses/supporting then you are a hypocrite.

Same could be said for today “not all of them are breaking into the capitol, most are just peacefully protesting”.

You wouldn’t buy that argument for today being “ok”.

So once again you just prove your left wing bias. If the BLM/antifa crap didn’t bother you as bad or worse than this (as so far no one has been killed or buildings burned down) then you are a hypocrite, period.

Let’s see....... The streets of Seattle or the Capital Building of the country.....

Seems like a valid comparison if are willing to accept some statistical anomalies of plus or minus 3 million  fucking percent

I guess call me a fuckin hypocrite 

Your post just proved my point, yes you are a hypocrite, lumping yourself in with QO and Spock just the other side of the aisle.

It is more the violence and breaking shit then yeah. I just think you are being lazy in lumping BLM and antifa together.

I'm still shocked these people have not been cleared given how aggressive the police and feds were this summer. 

Probably because the dozen or so who went into the building have been corralled, the rest seem to just be mulling around and taking pics with their cell phones and waving the US flag and/or the Blue Lives Matter flag.  Law abiding folks don't go after police; hope they find out who those were who were trying to push the police and incite them .....seem awfully familiar to me.

That's because they evacuated all the House and Senate...

I do wonder did you think the same of any other protest over the summer?

I mean, I don’t support riots from either. The thing is, one group was protesting racial injustice from police officers and these guys are literally the dumbest of the dumb this country has to offer. Just seeing pictures of the people there makes me laugh. A bunch of fucking neck beards and wannabe tough guys. Pathetic. 

The “I don’t support violence but one sides violence is justified and the other is stupid” argument...

That doesn’t work. Be better.

You just need to stop as you are in a fantasy land.

I didn’t link the organizations together. I linked the protests. I am also right.

If you don’t think the BLM and antifa protests/riots over the summer were linked then you were not paying attention at all.

And that would make you more retarded than they are ( assuming that’s possible) if you think that setting a couple of trash cans on fire or breaking some windows is comparable to an insurgent overtaking of the the capitol .

The fuck it doesn’t work. Just because I don’t agree with the riots that came from some of the BLM protests doesnt mean I can’t at least see where the anger is coming from. The anger from these morons in DC is coming from straight stupidity. If you think these 2 things are exactly the same then I don’t know what else to tell ya man. 

I didnt read through this but I bet I could summarize:

Ptown is full retard bashing this as a Trump is racist and these are rioters.  Even though he didnt say anything about the real rioting all over the country.

QQ defends all of the Trumpsters as this is the right of the people to occupy the Senate.

Yeah...you are just being lazy in thinking that. You are better than that to assume that every BLM protest was the same as antifa.

The correct comparison is the people that supported the rioters and violence over the summer and then the actions today. 

Now confirmed a woman has died that was shot in the chest. Unclear who she was. 

Right on cue......CNN uses the word "rioters" on their website after never using to describe Antifa or BLM

You have a short memory. They looted multiple cities. There are receipts. People running out of LV, foot locker, etc in NY, St Louis, Cali, Detroit, Kenosha, etc. 

Happened in my “smaller” city here. I’m all for being against both, but to pretend BLM wasn’t causing property damage and burning businesses is absurd. I don’t gaf about Portland and Seattle, there was a ton more.

Again, not condoning these fucks today, but the revisionist history is just wrong.

There’s video. She was a protester/ rioter. Not sure why she got shot tho while others weren’t.

For arguments sake, fine let's lump every single BLM protest in the violent camp, including the thousands that were peaceful over the summer. I'm good with that. 

Either way, the actions of these idiots today is fucking awful.

Sure, I mean if you want to say whatever the fuck the left does is bad, you have to equally apply it to this now. 

if?
