now you left out the word protest. Lol. again. Antifa came to portland with VIOLENT PROTESTS which drew the right wingers out of the woods. The baptist church bombing wasnt a protest. It was an act of terror.
You know what pisses me off the most J... YOU WERE NEVER THERE. You didn't see shit first hand. You have zero clue of what happened on the ground and it's fucking irritating to hear you speak on this like you have foremost knowledge. But you know what??? I guarantee you know someone who came down and sprayed bear spray at us. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts you know some of these flag waving, jingoist racists... They live in your town... And just so you know... 93% of Black Lives Matter Protests Have Been Peaceful, New Report Finds Black Lives Matter protesters march through Manhattan on August 24 following the shooting of a Black man by a White police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Spencer Platt—Getty Images BY SANYA MANSOOR SEPTEMBER 5, 2020 11:47 AM EDT The vast majority of Black Lives Matter protests—more than 93%—have been peaceful, according to a new report published Thursday by a nonprofit that researches political violence and protests across the world. The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) analyzed more than 7,750 Black Lives Matter demonstrations in all 50 states and Washington D.C. that took place in the wake of George Floyd’s death between May 26 and August 22. Their report states that more than 2,400 locations reported peaceful protests, while fewer than 220 reported “violent demonstrations.” The authors define The ACLED report includes protests toppling statues of “colonial figures, slave owners and Confederate leaders” as violent incidents. “Since Floyd’s killing, there have been at least 38 incidents in which demonstrators have significantly damaged or torn down memorials around the country,” the report states. Still, many people continue to believe that Black Lives Matter protests are largely violent—contrary to the report’s findings. ACLED highlights a recent Morning Consult poll in which 42% of respondents believe “most protesters (associated with the BLM movement) are trying to incite violence or destroy property.” ACLED suggests this “disparity stems from political orientation and biased media framing… such as disproportionate coverage of violent demonstrations.” U.S.-based ACLED is funded by the State Department’s Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations as well as foreign governments and other organizations, including the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the German Federal Foreign Office, the Tableau Foundation, the International Organization for Migration, and The University of Texas at Austin. It relied on data collection from the U.S. Crisis Monitor—a joint project led by ACLED and Princeton University’s Bridging Divides Initiative—that tracks and publishes real-time data on political violence and demonstrations in the U.S in order to “establish an evidence base from which to identify risks, hotspots and available resources to empower local communities in times of crisis.” ACLED also highlights a “violent government response,” in which authorities “use force more often than not” when they are present at protests and that they “disproportionately used force while intervening in demonstrations associated with the BLM movement, relative to other types of demonstrations.” The report also references “dozens of car-ramming attacks” on protesters by various individuals, some of whom have ties to hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan. ACLED warns in the report that the U.S. “is at heightened risk of political violence and instability going into the 2020 general election,” citing trends in mass shootings, violent hate crimes and police killings. The authors of the report say the Trump administration has exacerbated tensions caused by racial inequality and police brutality. President Donald Trump and high-ranking members of his administration have frequently generalized protesters as violent anarchists.
we are nOt a fascist country. Guess what? Lots of things exist here that many people may disagree with. It doesnt mean the country follows it, is founded by it or is made up of it. nazis still exist too but were not a nazi country
You don't seem to know what fascism is. And you got your head in a hole right now. The term Fascism was coined by Benito Mussolini. He literally wrote the book on it. MAYBE you should read it... Because you sound foolish fumbling around in the dark on it's definition. Facism is when the corporations control the state. What's happening in our country RIGHT THE FUCK NOW... Corporations are running our government.
Yes, I was there, though not 160 times. I simply don't have the time for that, as I have 3 children who need my time. I was in downtown Portland several times per week with my children though, so I'm aware of the conditions. You going down there doesn't give you the right to treat others like shit. Fuck off with that. Again, all poor and most middle class are among the oppressed in this country. Getting in a pissing match about who is more oppressed is incredibly counterproductive and divisive, especially when the solution is the same regardless. This is not to minimize the oppression any specific group feels, just to state that what you are doing is counterproductive. It's playing right into the game they want you playing. You want to have a discussion about how to improve things, I'm game.
Alright im done. There is no respect telling people the dont know wtf they are talking a out when there is video footage! None of us were overseas during ww2 so no one should say a damn thing what happened one way or another right???? gimme a break man… ive seen the footage.
Where do you get your info from, the news??? Because no one should get ANY info there. They are part of the fascist states we live in.
YOu are being part of the problem. If you can't say this country has had it in for black people since BEFORE it's inception...
Our police force is fascist, and behaves in a fascist manner. Protesting that is admirable. Protesting against white supremacists (fascists) is admirable.
It's really funny to me that a MF thinks they can describe some shit without experincing it and seeing some goddamn videos. Your perspective isn't an informed one @Orion Bailey You literally live where the fascists come from to HARM US.
