The Second Amendment doesn’t say “The right to bear unloaded arms...”What good is an unloaded gun? IP: Logged |

If you want to know the difference between the gatherings, one was peaceful, and the others devolved into violent riots. Rioting is not a fundamental and independent right protected by the constitution. Neither is arson. Neither is assault, looting, or tearing down statues.There was a BLM protest in my city in June. Nothing happened. It was peaceful, full of law-abiding Americans that exercised their first amendment rights. Not a single troublemaker or arrest was made, not even an argument broke out. They were permitted, and they followed their designated path on a local, blocked-off road without straying. At the end, people went home. These riots are being led by people who want this violence and unrest to occur. They’ve been handed a get out of jail card, and are operating with impunity. That’s failure on a lot of levels, but especially by the local politicians. IP: Logged |

No permit acquired for this protest, and they admit to directly moving the fences installed to protected buildings from arsonists. They were enabling and aiding the same folks who set fires and burned a building. These are not “peaceful” protesters. A riot was declared last night, and the entire downtown was swept to clear the area. When the tear gas is deployed, that means GO HOME, not stand in defiance.IP: Logged |

Excuse after excuse after excuse after excuse, defending people who are violating law, abetting criminals and adding to the unrest. How simple is it to petition for a permit to an organized protest? How difficult is it to follow your designated path outlined in your petition? How difficult is it to not condone any violence or disorder among your own group? How difficult is it to immediately go home if dissenters stir up trouble and law enforcement tells everyone to disperse? How difficult is it to operate within the law? How difficult is it to respect the community at large? How difficult is it to recognize that organizing a group after 50 days of ongoing rioting is a stupid idea? Not a single riot would have happened, had these simple things been done.Please. I have no more sympathy to give. These people lost my respect the moment they didn’t immediately decry the violence. They lost my respect the moment they disregarded the safety of their neighbors and community. They lost my respect and understanding when they themselves are far more destructive than what they are trying to fight. IP: Logged |

I couldn’t have said it better. Thanks for putting all of our thoughts into words.

I have those folks on my facebook timeline, having a conniptionn about the feds clearing Portland. while the few portlanders among my friends have been uncharacteriscally silent, even the usual progressists one, lol, every single of the ones posting anti Feds propaganda, among them none of them live and work in Portland, let alone downtown Portland. Every single one of them is posting from the comfort and security of their safe neighborhoods in other states. The few people who dare question their narrative are called fascists. I just can't wait for that wave of crazy to go away. IP: Logged |
