Well it seems like it has been for the most part more peaceful. Hopefully, this is dialing down

you mean Portland right? Seems like other places the violence is getting worse

 

[BonesJones]

Yeah and unfortunately, once destruction of property turns into beatings and potential murders, there isnt much other choice. I mean really I feel for the cause 100%. D and I been talking alot about things, but if it comes down to someone entering my property and attempting to vandalize, enter my home, I do not care the color of the skin. They will be met with a muzzle. And it is really kinda tearing me up inside because this is gonna pit friend against friend, family member against family member. If this turns into full scale war, this will not be like what we see on TV. IT will be like our last Civil war prior to tv. This will be fought in our backyard and front porches much like the Patriot said.
Its scary as fuck honestly. Im know you are in a secure building, but you are right off of a potential protest marching path being on the state route. Are you not concerned at all? How are you doing? I could only imagine having a baby/toddler during this.



What makes you think I haven't already militarized my neighbors and infiltrated both sides, setting up blockades?
(Canby Ferry is hella cool BTW)

The problem is people prioritize the wrong thing. Stuff like: "I feel for the cause BUT...", "It sucks a black man got killed BUT...", "Racial Injustice is bad BUT..." and then people speak more on the riots than they ever have about racial injustice. Why? Because the riots actually have a chance of affecting them.

It's unfortunate property is getting destroyed, but police need to stop murdering African- Americans.

People aren’t gonna give this the time of day because they hate Tucker, but this is a powerful video. It hurts so badly to watch.

Watched some of it. It was a load of fucking bullshit.

George Floyd protesters TURN on the looters: Santa Monica demonstrators stop store from getting ransacked, human chain is formed outside a NYC Target and DC crowd tackles rioter and hands him to police

 

[Orion Bailey]

Watched some of it. It was a load of fucking bullshit.

Then watch it again. He was spot on. Separate the protestors from the ones being violent to others. He went after both parties. Indiscriminately. He didn't go into how we got to this spot, but he was spot on about the separation and the words used that continue the divide.
Randomly hurting innocent people is wrong no matter the cause. IT undermines the cause aimed at peace and equality.
If you disagree with that, then agree to disagree, cause you wont change my stance on violence. (please note. I'm separating violence and destruction of property vs violence on other humans)

See @BonesJones. Even the other protestors agree...

Could anyone make head or tails of Trump's deranged statement? He will guarantee Second Amendment rights, does he want protesters armed? Or armed supporters to shoot protesters? Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff us in charge, of what? For what purpose? But he's a winner! He is activating Attorney General, like when you get a new credit card and call an 800 number to activate it? A lot of Walter Mitty fantasies about military battles in the streets. Then used national police to violently clear a peaceful march do he could shoot a campaign video of himself holding a Bible in front of a church. He's read the Bible about as much as he's read the Constitution.

Bellevue is just a bit bigger than Gresham and i consider Gresham a suburb of Portland.

Bellevue has nearly 148,000 people, more than Eugene with more office space than Seattle. Hope this clears it up.

I thought ytou wewre way off on this.

Really hard to agree without loking it up having known both cities all my life. But you are right. 147K for Bellevue, 110K for Gresham in poplation and Belleuve has 10 more SQ miles.

But here is innitially why I thought this was way off.

Bellevue:

Gresham:




You would think, looking at the two images that its not even a comparison.

I looked all this up because thought for sure you were off, but the only difference is the building ins the downtown. Bellevue downtown just gets alot more from the Puget sound coming in and out daily to work.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Not true at all, but I agreed with you until looking it up.

Eugene:
171,245 (2018)

Gresham:
110,158 (2018)

Bellevue:
147,599 (2018)


Eugene actually has more people.

Australian news crew assaulted by US cops

An Australian journalist and cameraman have been assaulted by US police while reporting on protests outside the White House.

Network Seven cameraman Tim Myers was hit with a riot shield and punched in the face, while reporter Amelia Brace was clubbed with a truncheon.

Both were shot with rubber bullets and struggled to breathe after tear gas was thrown at the crowd.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison described the attack as troubling and has asked for an investigation.

You should try to see if you can take it for a spin and maybe take it down Willamette Falls!!

Its tethered to a steel cable. Its not a free floating Ferry. OR Ida commandeered it long ago.

You should invest in some nice bolt cutters. No reason, of course.

 

[jonnyboy]

Have you seen it? Really opens your eyes to how things are for people who you might not know much about or had the chance to be around. It's a great watch.

Well that is certainly a better sales pitch. Maybe I’ll check it out when I get a chance.

White liberals are fucking idiots. Lol

Looter shot by store owner trying to loot a gun store

 

[CupWizier]

White liberals are fucking idiots. Lol

and here in lies much of the problem in today's society, Labeling people as one (white liberal) clearly shows your bias and unable to see people as individuals. Do you seriously think you could pick out in a lineup of 5 guys and tell us which ones are liberals, conservatives, libetarian etc.? I'd bet $1000 you couldn't.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

BS.

These are probably not libs, but Bible thumpers, which is just as bad.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I think we will get to a point where everyone at sporting events will take a pregame knee.

Read some of the comments. disgusting.

Absolutely.

You really need to step up your education and improve yourself and move on to a better guideline.

a week ago Republicans "I need a haircut, let me go out! This is Government Tyranny!"

Republicans today: "Shoot them all! If they just stayed indoors like they're supposed to..."

a week ago Democrats "Leaving your house is akin to murder, stay home stay safe"

Democrats today: "Let's party for peace!"

Yeah, both sides are hypocrites. But one was being hypocritical because they wanted haircuts and think Covid19 is a hoax, and the other side thinks blacks should be treated equally.

I'd rather be the latter and not the former. Nor would I want to defend the former.

It's amazing when times like this happen it exposes a lot of people for what they really are.

A friend of mine said something similar about that. He said he'd rather know you were racist/bigoted/etc, then not know. Because then at least he'd know he was dealing with the real you and not an act.
