Which is troubling because my line of thinking is none of what's happening is acceptable.

 

For you, it's just "a couple o blocks". Rationalizing is rationalizing.

I think you kind of misunderstand me, and maybe that's my bad. What I meant was to riff on CanAm saying that some people are saying that Portland has emptied out because of what's going on in those few blocks. Actually life is pretty normal and people are going about their daily lives and still living in Portland, and they haven't emptied out.

 

I condemn violence and property destruction under all circumstances. I don't care how sympathetic I am to the ideals of those who resort to those ends to make their points.

Yep they are all lying.

Conspiracy and Sedition … Are Definitely on the Table’

Investigations into the mob violence are getting underway. Who should be held accountable, and for what?

The violence and mayhem at the U.S. Capitol this week were many things—an incursion, a riot, a spectacle and, many would say, a national embarrassment. But were they crimes? And if so, who committed them and how should they be prosecuted?

 

 

‘The big question is whether charges should be brought against those who instigated these crimes’

Laurie Levenson is a professor of law at UCLA and a former assistant U.S. attorney in Los Angeles.

Just like I told someone on FB the other day with a photo of that guy. So they use the photo of one person to paint 200k+ plus people as people on who hate. I also hate single photos like this noise that no one has seen until now because it could have been placed there by reporters or anyone else

It's a photograph of a man that entered the building, that has been ID'd, and is currently wanted by the FBI. It was not 'photoshopped' or placed there by reporters (which is a really odd suggestion in of itself). This is just one man. But he is one of many men and women that also decided to display even more vile attire. But that's just attire.. attire I can laugh at. Their actions were no laughing matter.

Yes, he had some buddies that carried Nazi flags with plenty of saluting to go with. Stomach churning really..

[laylalex 7,289]

I think cyberfx was talking about the noose, not the guy, but I could be wrong. 

 

I saw the pic of the guy in the sweatshirt last night and I am not ashamed to say I cried. While they were not Jews, my grandparents lived through Vichy France and emigrated to America after the war. They lost playmates and friends to the camps. I don't take any of this as a ironic pwn the libs joke.

I looked, we still don't have a "I threw up in my mouth" reaction.

Oh the noose is real too! Not photoshopped either, they actually put that up there. That was for some of the individuals, but apparently they wanted to hang the VP from a particular tree.

I wanted to give you a thanks reaction but... out of reactions. It's truly remarkable.
