OT PROTESTS IN DOWNTOWN PORTLAND TURN VIOLENT

[Natebishop3]

No republicans were at Charlottsville? That's an interesting take.

So.... one?

That's what you've got compared to the countless that happened in Portland?

 

[CupWizier]

They are probably easier to debate, too.

Well they are intelligent dogs, so you are probably right.

That's all I needed to disprove that "no republicans" were involved in destructive protests. I don't care one way or the other who marches and protests but to say that one side hasn;t been involved in any violence is more than just stretching the truth.

One makes a point to identify the Patriot Prayer group as "far right", making it look like Antifa was attacked by extremists. The other paints Antifa as creating the violence by storming a peaceful rally. You don't see the opposing bents in the reporting?

Who goes to a Prayer group with mace and weapons while inviting the Nazis to join in? I think it's equally bs by both groups and violence is never justified in protests....Antifa has it's own far left identity as well....they could have written far left Antifa but both groups showed extreme behavior

 

[riverman]

Say what you like about Patriots' Prayer, they denounce white supremacy/Nazism and racism.

They did not follow this in this instance ….I wasn't there but I watched footage and it wasn't civil

 

[riverman]

They are actually stifling their own agenda with overkill.

absolutely true

 

[Cippy91]

Both groups are dumb but it’s highly entertaining to watch just how dumb they can get. People are crazy

Welcome to Kate Brown's Oregon.

FIFY.

The rest of the country, outside of Berkeley (where most of these Moronnials moved here from), doesn't act like this.

These poorly paid misfit puppets of George Soros have a demonstrated maturity average of 4-5 years, are viewed by most Americans as cowardly weaklings throwing tantrums rather than be productive and communicative members of society.

Do you change another posters actual post often? Kind of like being a liar.

 

[MARIS61]

But you said alt-right. The anonymous writer Platy quoted said far-right, which is a bit different.

Neither term has any real definition or than both being intentionally insulting hyperbole.

Same goes for right-wing, left-wing, liberal conservative. Meaningless.

Finally we agree on something here!

Yeah, he put his words in my post he quoted. He wants to quote me he shouldn't change it. Otherwise he is free to say it in his own post.

It's something we've all done here for years mostly in a humorous way....best not to talk about each other unless it's in good fun eh? Trying to just steer things in a better direction here...nothin' personal

What would be REALLY fucked up would be to alter someone's post in the bodacious babes of s2 thread. That would be awful.

Wrong. I never said Republicans weren't involved in any destructive protests. I said that it wasn't the Republicans protesting the moment that trump was elected.

Might want to re-read what I wrote.

Wtf is a street medic? And what is wrong with Portland?

Portland is a big city. Big cities have all kinds of weirdos.

 

[Lanny]

I think he may have been saying that assigning the label "Far-right" for Patriots' Prayer, or that the Antifa activists "stormed" them, allows those who engage in echo chamber-ism to continue. Since you asked (and I'm not a journalist, either), I'd say something like:

"Political Rally in Portland Sparks Violence."
"Members of Patriots' Prayer, a group dedicated to 'fighting corruption and big government with the strength and power of love', and counter-protesters identifying with AntiFa, anarchism and anti-right-wing ideology clashed in Portland Sunday...etc, etc. etc."

By calling them "alt-right" or "far right" (even though they adamantly disavow any racist or Nazi tendencies, if you look at their work), they are being propped up by some of the media for purposes of letting Antifa off the hook for their "punch a Nazi" campaign.

Oh my, what an imagination.

 

[dviss1]

I just love "objective" journalism:





But sure, neither of these sites have an agenda. They're just "reporting the facts". Can't imagine why this country is so divided...

The country isn't as divided as everyone acts or says.

The fact that we believe it is, is a product of the media.

 

[dviss1]

I find that interesting because the destructive riots were happening the moment he was elected, and they weren't Republicans.

I remember protests but I'm gonna need a link or something regarding the "destructive riots" you claim happened on election day... I certainly don't remember any riots...

And, you can't really hide from this statement. The wording does imply that republicans aren't involved in any "destructive riots". Charlottesville was caused by racist conservatives...

How exactly did I imply that there were never at any point destructive riots from Republicans?

First, You must have missed the first part where I asked for proof of the "destructive riots" on election day. Until you provide proof...

Second, you say riotS as in plural. So either more than one riot happened on the same day of his election (again no proof provided), or multiple "destructive riots" have been happening since his election.

It's easy to look at your post and not think you're only talking about election day, but the entirety of The Hutt's presidency.

You got me. I was exaggerating when I said "the moment." You're pretty good dviss! It was actually a few days later.

That is actually incorrect. Antifa is by far the most to blame for the violence since Trump became *gag* the "President." I hate to admit it, because I think they're fucking idiots, but the far right contingent that congregated in PDX this weekend would not have caused any violence if not provoked by Antifa. Both groups are awful, fuck them all.....
