Oooo, you little rascal, I see what you did there.  I'll defend anyone's right to peacefully protest (although we know I'm not big on that outside someone's private residence).  I'll also defend the right of anyone who is physically attacked to defend themselves.

But back to your "topic"

It did?  This article is from 07/31.  it's almost a month later and the riots continue on a nightly basis.  Loks like your article is insanely biased and demonstrably false.

This article is from 07/30.  You're really staying current here.  This reeks a bit of desperation.




Sure, the protests are "largely peaceful", except when they aren't on a nightly basis.

Here's something a bit more current than almost a month ago, it's from last night.

Then on Tuesday, the Multnomah County Building on SE Hawthorne, which is, as Chair Deborah Kafoury said, “the place where people get married, come to get their passports, and come to celebrate their cultural traditions,” was vandalized during another riot.

There are also reports of planned clashes at different parts of the city this weekend.

I thought the riots stopped after the Feds left?  You just told us this.  What happened?  


I get it Dino, you're painted into a corner here.  You can't defend the rioting and attacks that occur every night so you have to divert to the more "peaceful" protests that occur during the day.  What was your logic about always posting about negative behavior by LEO's?  Something about shining a light on the bad behavior and hoping that the good officers would turn in the bad or curtail them.  Yet, for some reason, you don't like when the same type of spotlight is turned on the "largely peaceful" protesters and their nightly felonious activity.  I guess priorities and all, eh?

So here's the thing S...I never defended the violent scenes or actions.  Never.

I acknowledged that they happened but don't represent the movement as a whole.

No amount of examples will change your mind because you are laser focused on the bad guys rather than the protests in general.  I get that.

I tried to give you an opportunity to say as much but you can't.  And I get that too.  You have an agenda that is influenced by your training and how you "see" things.  Cool beans.

Rather than be accused of things I didn't say or do I'll just let you have the last word.
