    See, the coldest part about your argument is the how silly it is. The anarchist's voice matters too. What they get to say about our country is protected speech.

    The problem with folks like you is that differing opinions sometimes need to be met with violence.

    Listen to the dumb shit you people say. The BLM needs to get the antagonizers out... Wow... If you could only hear yourselves...

    You can't stand on both sides of the argument you most certainly cannot have it both ways. You can't say that the police only have a few bad apples and need to weed those out and not say the same thing about the protesters. 95% of us are nonviolent resisters who haven't broken anything or hurt anyone.

    There are a few bad apples...

    What? so Im not entitled to my opinion? I attended a BLM protest in my community and I support their cause. And folks like me need to be met with violence?

    Ill add to this.

    Where is the "weed the violent nazis out" of the republican party? MY fellow republicans are quick to say get the violent protestors out, but they are protesting in part because of the allowance of racism and oppression. So as a republican, I frown on any who say weed out the violent protestors without simultaneously not saying to wee out the violent racists.

    Both sides need to start holding their own accountable in my opinion. Then respect for one another will begin and with respect, progress and improvement will follow, because with respect comes working together. without that respect no one will work together and it will just be a stand off for eternity.


    did anyone here see the video of Dviss walking along side the Mayor? (I know many of you did). I think @THE HCP is the only person who posted on that video and said Dviss my man!!!!

    Why? Not for protesting, but because Dviss is a good person looking out for the mayor, who he disagrees with on many levels, but yet when another person dumped trash at the Mayors feet, who was the ONLY person to step in and try to protect the Mayor?

    My hero, @dviss1



    I do agree that BLM should try to separate themselves from the anarchists wanting to create conflict. But I cant ask for that without also asking republicans to separate themselves from the KKK and nazis.

    Listen to how you sound... You must recognize that it's an uninformed one. Until you do will you will just be on the side of the racists and fascists.

    I want everyone to know that that was not trash that was dumped at the mayor's feet. Those were tear gas casings, remnants of flashbangs and all of the things that they've been shooting at us for the past 59 days.

    I'll ask for both. I don't want Nazis or racists at Republican events. I don't want "Proud Boys" acting like they're representing me. I don't want anyone advocating for oppression or violence associating themselves with me.

    I'm also not at any Republican events, so there really isn't anything for me to exclude them from.

    I think we should all be asking for both.

    I wrote that incorrectly. What I was saying is people that are on the side of the fascist want to meet us with violence for having different opinions. I also didn't read your post correctly and saw that you did go out to a protest in your local area. Thank you for that. What I can say very truthfully is that it is very safe to come downtown to the Justice Center in the Parks that's around it. Get there at 9. Get some of the free food and all of the free things that are available like water and Gatorade and masks. It's unprecedented in this city that the homeless downtown have been fed everyday for 59 days. That's never happened in our city but we've done it. Come downtown and leave at about 11 to 12. You will not see peace as we are loud. What you will see is what democracy looks like. People that don't look anything like each other or come from different backgrounds coming together for a common cause. And that cause is black lives. I will meet you there.

    Not on either side, you are out in left field with that bold assumption. Listen to how you sound when you declare I need to be met with violence and i'm a racist.

    I have heard that the protests have shifted to more anti-Trump since all the federal police shit started, is that not the case?

    Hey @ABM, what’s going on in Tennessee??? Sounds like Portland.....only it’s a bunch of bored teenagers (who should be wearing masks and social distancing at the very least) who are throwing tantrums because some stupid f**king video games aren’t working. Is Trump going to call out the federal goon squad to put this rebellion down??? Probably, because the majority of the kids in the video appear to be Black. Gotta wonder if the arcade owners would have refunded money to white kids.......I don’t condone their actions and I believe they should be held accountable and I’m waiting to see how this is handled. But it’s kinda fun to sit here in Oregon and take pot shots at another state 2600 miles away, without having all the facts. See how that works???

    This state aint big enough for the both of us, podner.

    Well, technically I guess it is. Unless you've gained a tremendous amount of weight lately.
