when the right speaks about it, they say every BLM protest ended up with cities burning.....

Ok, now you're just being hyperbolic, which is Latin for "douchebag". Just as the Left is not monolithic, neither is the Right. Stop being a twatwaffle.

I'm with Officer Tatum here. Fuck the democrats. They are pure evil. Fuck Republicans. You are just as evil. I'm going Independent from here on out.

 

I didn't watch the clip, and I can't remove it on mobile, so I emphasised the words I'm addressing. That's what the fuck I'm talking about. I can get behind your decision.

I don't know if that will do any good, but now you're getting it.

The two big winners out of all of this are China and Russia. They're pissing themselves with laughter at the moment.

Like Trump or not, the fact of the matter is that he was voted President in 2016. 

Instead of his opponents accepting this, they have done nothing but hinder, criticize, and undermine him from day one. Hell, even before his inauguration he was getting hammered. 

What we saw at "Capitol Hill" was, I believe, a precursor to more organized unrest. The far right, militia group types have been looking for a legitimate excuse for decades for "Revolution". There are also many, many non radical Republicans who are angry.

The way the President was treated over the last 4 years was disgraceful. He never had a chance.    

 I'm sure everbody here is familiar with the name "George Floyd", but how often over the last 30 hours or so have you heard the name of the unarmed woman shot and killed by a Capitol Police Officer. 

It's "Ashli Babbit", BTW.

ashli babbit was attempting to unlawfully break into a government building ffs. How in anyway can this be compared to George Floyd.

Also did I read earlier a comment of overreaching democrat lockdown at state level? The mind boggles. I take it you guys are keeping track of COVID stats in the US???

It's not panning out well. 

the UK is bad as well but we are under national lockdown to combat it - just sayin.

It didn't help matters when the mayor of DC requested that the national guard be deployed as a preventive measure leading up to the rally but insisted they not wear body armor and be unarmed.  For whatever reason the local authorities and Capital police failed to assess the situation properly leading up the rally.  Even though it seemed to be common knowledge that some of the people attending planned to walk to the Capital.  I did get a kick out of that LEGO satire.  Although, I haven't seen many photos or videos where anyone inside the Capital was actually walking around with gun in hand.  I know there were reports of some being confiscated when people were arrested but didn't hear of any being pointed at police or government officials.  As reprehensible and sickening as this was, if this was truly a coup attempt as the media wants to portray, they clearly didn't come prepared to put up much of a fight.  As soon as the police in riot gear and national guard arrived with tear gas the mob was dispersed quickly.   Comparing Ashli Babbitt to George Floyd is way off base (may they both RIP).  But an unarmed woman being shot to death by police at any of the riots last year would have been drawing as much if not more scrutiny than the riot and any destruction that occurred as a result of it.  I personally haven't seen any calls from the media or the left for an investigation into whether that shooting was a necessary use of deadly force.  The circumstances of this protest turned riot were more shocking as far as where it happened and the political context.  It should live in infamy especially with the fact it occurred at the encouragement of the sitting President.  But as far as violence and destruction it doesn't come close to some of the riots we've had the misfortune of watching over the last year in major cities here in the U.S.  Whether it be the burning down of entire city blocks, having people beaten nearly to death in the streets, rioters barricading and setting fire to a police station while officers were inside or having an armed militia roam the streets.  When I see people on social media showing pictures of what occurred, especially ones of people taking selfies inside the Capital, versus the images of places like Portland and Kenosha it puzzles me how most of those same people didn't speak out at all against the actions taken during those protests last year.  Unlike many of those chaotic events from last year I thankfully haven't heard of any elected officials or celebrities/sports figures justifying or excusing the chaos that took place this week.

That's the point I was trying to make. I wasn't comparing Ashli Babbit to George Floyd. It was a comment on the different media coverage.

Have you heard the name Brian Sicknick? A police officer who has died from injuries from the riot/insurrection....there is no 'real' comparison between BLM protests and what happened at the Capitol bldg IMO.....

nobody is defending the rioters and looters from last year. They were arseholes too. 

The big difference here though is that back then a riotous mob was not egged on by the POTUS so go and attack the Capitol building where the vice president and every senator in the US was counting the votes. 

There is no defending it sorry. 

And comparing it is pointless.

Show me where Trump told his supporters to go attack the Capitol. I'll wait.

what did you think was going to happen when he told a bunch of baying morons they were going to walk down to the Capitol building ?

esp after RG demanded trial by combat???? 

plus read his tweets in the build up. 

quote:

"Washington is being inundated with people who don't want to see an election victory stolen. Our country has had enough, they won't take it anymore! We hear you from the Oval office. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN"

 

you think that is not inciting violence?

Politics is about arranging facts in order to build a story to gain power and money. Politics thrives at the expense of truth. All news outlets are now overtly politically aligned. The stuff that comes from them is designed for political gain - not dissemination of truth - quite the opposite really. If you watch only one side of a story, don't kid yourself into thinking you know the truth about it. If you are afraid to listen to the other side, that may say more about you than them. It may make you feel good to hear your side but it does not make you an informed person. It actually makes you a blissfully ignorant person. If that is your goal, then stick with your side and pretend the other side is a monstrosity. That gives you permission to ignore them. But that's none of my business.

I want proof the President told his supporters to attack the Capitol. I'm still waiting because you can't prove it. "Let's march to the capitol" is a lot different than "let's breach the capitol and destroy the place".

    • Good safe and well with the footage I've seen on news here in Australia it must be scary.
    • I can tell you that at the very least, there are people from FEMA working with some of the local businesses (my employer included) as far as looking at what aid is available to them. On the flip side, I've heard that one of the FEMA directors "got an attitude" with a few folks in the Asheville area and got popped in the mouth. I can't confirm that, just a story that's making the rounds. 
    • Glad you and yours are ok Mike. There's been a lot of buzz on social media about the LACK of response from FEMA and the current admin. Have you seen or heard anything on the ground one way or the other?
    • Not sure if anyone has noticed my absence over the last 10 days, but I've only been able to sign in a few times from work over the course of that period. As some of you may know, on Friday, September 27th, Hurricane Helene slammed into western North Carolina and absolutely devastated this area, leveling entire towns in its path. In my 52 years on this planet, I've never seen destruction like this with my own eyes.  While my home and property were spared any major problems, our road looked like a damn warzone with all the trees and powerlines down. We were literally trapped like rats in a maze for several days, as even though some good samaritans were able to cut their way through the downed trees so we could leave the neighborhood, all roads leading out of this area were closed off, either due to trees and lines down, or due to flooding.   I was out of work for six days, as my employer had no power. We had no power here at the house for 9 days, with it being restored late yesterday evening. We lost several hundred dollars worth of food that thawed out from our fridge and freezers. No hot water after day one, no cell signal for several days, no stores or restaurants open for several days... If it sounds like I'm complaining, I assure you, I am not. I am grateful. My family and friends are blessed, as we're all pretty much back up and running now. While there was some severe flooding here in Morganton just around two miles from my house, overall, it was MILD around here. Once you drive a mere 20 miles up the road to a little town called Old Fort in McDowell County, and everything west from there, it is exponentially worse. Huge chunks of Asheville under water, Chimney Rock literally wiped off the map, Spruce Pine damn near wiped away, small towns with no communication to the outside world with people struggling. It is BAD here in Western NC, and it's going to take a LONG time for things to get back to some semblance of normal for ALOT of people.  I just felt the need to post and let anyone who might have noticed I was MIA that I am fine, but that alot of good people are not. Please keep western North Carolina in your thoughts and prayers, and if that's not your thing, drink one for all of us tonight. Here are a few links that I've shared over the last week on FB that show the devastation around here... https://fb.watch/v331QebVRJ/ https://www.facebook.com/100067755911039/videos/1069274148086583/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ER9b6tv8oj84QuWb/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/9MpnKZUAx4m5oy3y/ All these aerial shots are from around 1-2 miles from my house: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/vux5WpAqeMDcNMhS/ https://fb.watch/v33x13dnTf/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/V6RPz7HiiMhrBsfn/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/vvEuMCm7We6fitZ9/ https://www.facebook.com/share/v/jE1utxkfNLeKEM9S/ Park Rangers in Chimney Rock managed to get the flag raised up again...  
    • I've got a solid top 3 at this point.  At least for me, these 3 are heads and shoulders above everything else: 1.  Kissin' Dynamite 2.  Eclipse 3.  Maverick After that, it's really a hodgepodge of stuff.  New Roses, Daughtry (Only an EP but digging it), Collateral, Sebastian Bach, Judas Priest, Nestor, End Machine.  I'd probably put them in about that order at the moment.  
    • So I was just looking at the new releases I bought from this year, and while there are some new additions to expand from the top 5 I posted earlier this year, to a top 10, all the stuff in my original list are still in the top 10 (although obvs with three months to go, the ones near the bottom could be usurped). Anyway as of now, this is where I am at: 1.       Judas Priest 2.       The Warning 3.       Nek! 4.       Rolling Quartz 5.       Band Maid 6.       April Art 7.       Lipz 8.       Sebastian Bach 9.       Mick Mars 10.   Durbin
    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
    • My brother was playing some of this guy's stuff a few months ago. I only now got around to checking it out for myself. Pretty fuckin' good!
