    He created the boogeyman. It's his watch not Biden's, not Obama's and not Hillary's. He's running the country his way and this is the result.

    Says the guy who posted pics of his buddies all armed-up ready to protect their business in Portland. Why the double standard?

    The problem is, the violence portion of it has gotten SO far out of hand (see: local leadership) that it's now enticing extreme factions and ne'er-do-wells to come in and have their lovely way. Clean up the violence and this stuff will go away. How long has it been now? That's what I thought.

    I wouldn't worry about Trump's hands, they're very tiny.

    I didn't see HCP's pic, but there's a difference between being armed, and pointing guns at people.

    Sly, it's not wise to go to Vegas.

    I believe that was a wholly different situation. The protestors were not on his property when he and his wife pointed loaded weapons at the unarmed protestors ordering them off the property which they had no right to do. The property the protestors were on did not belong to the couple but do the association. The couple claimed the protestors broke down a gate but there are photos of the protestors walking through an open gate that was undamaged. If there's a trial, and so far I haven't seen where the couple has been arrested then I'm sure all the details will come out. All that I've done is provide a basis for not jumping to conclusions.

    That kid was getting chased by a group of people, one of which had a gun. He was there to help a friend protect his 3 businesses, two of which had already been burned down.

    Not too far fetched to call it self defense when he gets knocked to the ground and starts getting swung on. A 17 year old vs. a group of grown men.

    Not like the guy in Portland who walked up to an unarmed Trump supporter, pulled out a gun and shot him twice in the chest, committing premeditated murder in cold blood.

    Which one are people on here condemning more?

    Not sure why you replied to me with this. I was commenting on the St Louis lawyer couple pointing guns at protesters vs. whatever HCP's friends apparently did.

    Not sure you have your facts straight either, but whatever.
