So, anyone here in Portland?

[hazard]

if they were were peaceful protests Hazard i would agree with you, but when they NIGHTLY turn into riots trying to burn a federal courthouse then they are not protests and should be treated as what they are riots. But i again point out that this is an old problem in Portland. maybe i need to dig up the videos to prove my point. i really dislike when you make me work for no real benefit as the lot of you will not believe it or turn a blind eye and make excuses.

Ah, nightly, but not constantly?

That sounds to me like the protesters do act as a general restraint on the rioting. Most of them will go home when the day's over, I mean, why would you not? The government officials will go home too, and scary things happen at night.


And even if the riots happen nightly, how the federal government is dealing with the riots is not how you deal with riots. In fact, 'unidentifiable officers and vehicles' is generally how you don't handle law enforcement in the first place, because at best it works counter productively.

Matrix, i love when there are peaceful exchanges of power, but i dislike when people do not bother to attempt to actually discuss points i have raised and go straight for the ad-hominem attacks. I find it fuckin hilarious that you think the leftist fringe that is pulling Biden's strings are the "Rational people" quite frankly the only person that was on the Democratic debate stage that was even more left of Biden WAS Bernie who IS a communist. (or maybe i should not malign those who decide to live in communes and give him the proper label of a MARXIST/STALINIST SOCIAIST but it is easier to call him a communist as people rightly label communists with the soviets)

Rajvik, Bernie is barely center-left. Here in Europe he'd be part of a centrist party. It's just the USA that's so far right they don't get that.
