Of course I'm not defending it. I'm merely pointing out the hypocrisy. You apparently support riots for 'social justice' (define the problem of justice, by the way, Mr. philosopher) I support riots never. "WE ARE NOT THE SAME"
It certainly is, but it sounds like these guys were at the pride parade to dance and sing with all the other participants. They were all dressed the same so I suspect they were getting ready to do a little ensemble number ala Glee or High School Musical. They even had a little smoke bomb (rainbow colored?) that they may have wanted to use to add a little more flair, drama and fabulousness. I also understand why they had masks and face shields. Have you ever marched in a pride parade and had blowback glitter from the drag queens on the float in front of you? Trust me, you'll be hacking up glitter like a sick unicorn for days.
Joe, I'm on your side Joe. At one time I was a young, misinformed, totally ignorant, I could GAS about I believe ALL LIVES MATTER! That includes humans in the womb. Most BLM members and woke people don't like it expressed in that way and I see you don't either. Joe, you've exposed your colorful, colored, woke stripes! Additionally, I was in the service to make sure BLM and ANTIFA members had the right to disagree, riot, destroy our country, and burn down our cities. Fortunately, I'm not in charge because I would have handled things differently and GUNNED DOWN ANY PERSON in an out of control mob DESTROYING PROPERTY or LOOTING. Their bodies would be stuck on poles and left to rot. I support protest. That goes for 1/6.
That is a bit over the top. I do not recall General Orders that are inclusive of an illegal act of murder, by gunning down any person, out of control mob or looting or destroying property or not.
Joe, Get yourself a dictionary. While you look up "insurrection" look up the word "all." Black lives matter but I don't make a distinction between my fellow Americans. That's an ignorant Democrat thing done to cause friction between the races. Climb out of your black hole! NOT ONE PERSON on TV, Radio, on the street did not think Floyd was not MURDERED by excessive force. Yes he was a criminal but his civil rights were abused and he was killed. PS Just for you Joe: Black lives matter. The BLM organization DOES NOT! It was formed by enemies of the American system to dupe the ignorant.
Oh I see, a person can burn down a police building because they are unhappy and wish to make a point. A person can steal anything they wish form a company because they feel left out. A person can beat up a jew because they don't like his/her Religion. That's OK. I'm the one over the top? Look my little snowflake buddy, your ilk got our country into this predicament starting with the bi-lingual crap my relatives did not have. Dead crooks don't rob. Dead killers don't kill. Dead rioters don't riot and burn. Best of all I don't need to pay taxes so they can be found guilty and spend their life lifting weights in prison gangs. I'd treat ALL prisoners like our POWS were fed. Their day would consist of turning boulders into sand guaranteeing they would not wish to return to prison - ever. If I were running things, protests would be peaceful, gas prices would be lower, and a small child could walk the streets of Chicago at 10 PM with not a hint of fear. What I want will never happen and that's why this place we call America is in a very fast decline! I hope you are a young person and get to live through the next ten years!
This group of patriots (the word "patriot" is in their name after all) are known for holding "flash demonstrations" and unannounced rallies. Their attorney has stated that they are non-violent (no reason to believe otherwise, is there?) and they have a right to Freedom of Speech (unless they're suppressed by the biden administration and its Soviet-style Disinformation Governance Board, of course).
