Well, if he publicly blames Antifa, at least he’s not likely to pardon the insurrectionists..

But @The Thriller never said the violence at BLM protests was justified. He said the BLM protests were justified. I’m sure you can recognize the difference, the vast majority of BLM protestors engaged in no violence and destruction whatsoever. The insurrectionists’ violence, in contrast to BLM issues, was based on a Big Lie: that the election had been stolen from Trump. That Big Lie contains no truth whatsoever.

Not excusing any actions here... but people genuinely believe this election was stolen. So these people are misguided, brainwashed, dumb, or some combo of everything but the fact that they were protesting what they believed to be an unfair election would be rational. The violence and means they pursued aren't justified. To me 90% of the blame needs to be with the lie makers.
Now maybe some of these folks are just straight racist and not redeemable and would protest something even if it wasn't this. Its wild how much people will believe politicians and media just because they say something is a fact.

He also referred to the the "protests" at the capital. Lol
@One Brow
The Tough Day to Be Law Enforcement thread is too long for me to look for the comments that show people justifying the bad actions of of the summer protesters. I'm sure if I did, you'd argue that's not what they meant or said so, yeah, no thank you.
Well, now that you've stepped back from 'doing the same things the Capitol protesters did' to just 'bad actions', we might even agree.

No doubt much of the blame (most of it?) falls on the lie makers (Trump, Fox News, Republicans) and those spineless who know better but want to to along with it for power (Republicans) but doesn't some of the blame also fall on Republican voters? They are openly protesting with white supremacists. They "feel" like their country is slipping away over what, gay marriage? A black president? How petty and shallow are these people? They're advocating for the overthrow of our government... Through violent means. How and why is this deemed acceptable?
If this doesn't doesn't immediately cause White Christian churches and white voters to self-reflect, I don't know what will. What type of government do Republicans want? A white Evangelical Fundamentalism? Fascism? Oligarchy? Autocracy? Theocracy? What do they want? We didn't get here by accident obviously. The actions of this past week have been months and years in the making.
I’m not sure where to put this, so this thread will have to do.
My father in law just came and rescued me from the hospital (so his wife could hang out with new grand daughter) and took me to Gunnies in Orem. Gunnies is a guns/ammo/dumbass store, in case you were wondering.
I have never been so embarrassed to be anywhere public like I was there. The sheer amount of idiocy oozing out of that place was almost beyond comprehension. It’s been months since I’ve seen anyone in public not wearing a mask — until today. Tuesday, noon, and the line to buy ammo for the inevitable fall of the USA at the hands of Satan’s minion, Joe Biden, was to the back of the store. My grandad used to have a saying, “A fool and his money are soon parted.” I take comfort in that.

Sad but true. Karl Rove introduce this idea to the US. I have never talked to a trump supporter who had any facts to back up their claims. When you point out the facts to them they get angry. I stopped talking to Trump four years ago. It is a waste of time and energy besides being maddening. Now I just shake my head with complete amazement how delusional some people are.
Are any of you aware of white supremacists using The Punisher skull logo as their symbol? I read this recently and wonder if it is true. And I'm worried about the fact that my brother has started wearing such a shirt recently.

This is true. In fact, Marvel is considering retiring the logo because it’s being used for this vigilantism.
