So you're against Antifa 'policing the streets' because PPD allows the 'proud boys' into the city? I won't post the direct quote from one of the 'resistance' leaders but he did say something very similar to. Antifa polices the city because elected officials allowed the 'proud boys' into Portland. This 'resistance leader' has a future as a spin doctor for Trump.
This post is extremely confusing. Are you saying the Antifa resistance leader has a future as a spin doctor for Trump?
Believe it or not, there is more than one morality value system in the world. It has been long known that downtowns are different from the boring, conservative suburbs with their tracts of identical cookie-cutter houses. What would happen if gangs of downtown inhabitants invaded suburbs (trained to start arguments and hope the other guy does something illegal) and demanded that suburbanites become like downtowners? Which side would you be on then?
That is definitely called for. I read last night that the name stems from a song in Aladdin, wherein the 'proud boy' is apologizing to his mother. barfo
I think we should make a Loud Boys dance crew. Wear sequin jumpsuits and do some horrible dancing down at the protests.
Sorry, I'm old and dense. Which side is that? The outside agitators, or the guys defending their home territory? I'm not from Portland, but one thing I notice is...the suburbanite agitators invade downtown, while the justification given (on this board and elsewhere) is tent cities which are miles from downtown. The sites selected for battle are out of synch with the propaganda.
Ummm okay??? Sure. And while we are at it why don't we eliminate clouds. Enforcing the law is attempting to eliminate crime. It isnt the only way, but it is damn sure a way. Not sure why this is even a debate? I mean if we arent going to enforce the laws then what is the point of having them? I hope everyone sees the anarchist movement that this blindness to the laws is perpetuating. I used to live downtown only four years ago and you could watch the decline that had started alomst a decade before as the young teens that were allowed on the streets, grew up. Ive seen the decline first hand, Lanny. Im sorry, but there is wayyy too much mischief going on left untethered, that helps build momentum and courage to continue to stretch the lines/boundaries to the point, that now they take over intersections without permits and threaten and vandalize anyone that even questions what is going on. Its largely left unchecked and its only going to continue to get worse if we continue to let it happen. The bulk of the trouble makers masked in antifa wear are homeless. I have watched them crawl out from overpasses, toss the black mask on, grab a bike in the bushes, and ride off... on a daily basis. Im not saying it will happen, but if mass chaos/ civil war breaks out, ground zero will likely be here.
Oh absolutely, with one difference. The trouble makers that wear masks are abolished by the general right, where as it seems, most of the left backs the actions of the left extreme. But really it goes both ways, absolutely. Nothing will ever happen unless we enforce the laws that exist, on both parties. What i see often though is that free speech needs to be removed from the far right and the far left excersizes violence in attempts to do so. Its the violence that needs to stop first. Then we work on changing the ideals of bigotry in a civil and political manner.But we cant ever punish on belief alone. Only if it is acted upon in such a manner that it inflicts pain or dama to another. Education must reflect history accurately. No more propping up the euro white man as the American founder. We have learned, and hope to continue to learn, from our mistakes, but we must stop hiding these mistakes im the history books of our schools. Otherwise our children will grow up and learn the truth and this will continue the feeling of segregation. I know id be up in arms if i was part of a race that was all but wiped out only to have the history books act as though it was all standard trade practices. Our if i had anestors that were forced to work for free for some white man to get rich from. These days we acknowledge, but it doesnt come close to recognizing because we have no clue how deep of hatred and feeling of nothingness we have brought upon more than one race. Don't get me going. Lol
Okay, thanks. I've read about that show but never watched it. (kind of like my knowledge of antifa vs. Proud Boys)
It was a question an then an implication not directed towards anyone on the forum. Not confusing at all sir.
I saw a guy spitting on the street and another jay walking in a quiet neighborhood. The world is going to pot.
Right.. That's just about the same as taking over interesections, threatening the welfare of others and vandalizing property. Come on Lanny, I thought you were more of a debater.
