I wouldn't go so far as insurrection like the guy you're replying to, but these groups (not the legit protesters) have a common goal of ending capitalism and are using black bloc tactics to antagonize a response and cause greater outrage. They have large political backing by people who call themselves "progressive", but when you hear their speeches, or read their statements you'll find a lot of Marx and Mao. I find it funny when people are comparing the government to China when it's the "protesters" burning churches, statues, and demanding books and film be removed, villainizing "profit", land ownership, etc.. It's not different at all from Mao's cultural revolution. Edited July 18, 2020 by uesnyc 1 1

Dumbastheycome Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 The US is devolving into a social maelstrom of discontent aggravated by the retaliatory extremism at both ends of the spectrum. Trump has adopted a denialist stance that demonstrates nothing more than retribution for any criticism or defiance. The USA is not divided. It is multiply fractured and at risk of collapse.

Phoenix Rising Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 The trump base supporters are quick to bleet their horror when some right wing nutter's post has been taken down on Twitter, claiming their constitutional rights have been violated. But when it's persons with a different opinion it really doesn't matter. does it. HRC used a certain term but I disagree, it's far too polite. 2

They are NOT protected under the First Amendment due to the fact they are looting, arsonists, and setting up Autonomous Zones, which by itself is covered under the Insurrection Act of 1807. Under this Act, the Marxist Mayors of Portland and Seattle plus the Communist Governors of Oregon and Washington should all be arrested, tried and convicted for allowing this Insurrection to happen. The minimum of 10 years in a Federal Penitentiary will give them time to reflect on their gross ineptitude. New home is Leavenworth Pen. Capture all the Anarchists and charge them the same as this is no longer about the criminal George Floyd, but a challenge to the Laws of the Republic. Perhaps, the U.S.A. should follow up on how Tienemen Square was handled. If Government does not handle this quickly, then Patriots, Militias and Veterans will. So now the Chinese handling of tiannanmen square is set as a lighting example. This is too sick for words. 3 2

Not troops, police officers. Not kidnap, arrest. States and cities have no jurisdiction over federal property. And yes, they're all accountable. And yes, they're allowed to be "unmarked".

How many of these crimes over the past few months of protests have been identified by the FBI as politically motivated, rather than by street criminals? The FBI has found no evidence that the American militant anti-fascist movement Antifa was involved in violence that erupted during national protests over the death of George Floyd. https://www.ajc.com/news/fbi-finds-evidence-antifa-involvement-national-unrest/qVI3U9wb8Q6u1QEvVsJ7AJ/ 3 1
The Barmbeker Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 2 hours ago, uesnyc said: Nothing anywhere says cops or vehicles have to be "marked". You've never seen plain clothes police in unmarked cars before? Usually an arrest entails "taking a person off the street". Every single person knows what they were arrested for, it's in the charging documents. The cops have no obligation to inform random rioters who aren't being charged what their comrades are being charged for, it's none of their business. Your definition of a "tyrannical government" is cops doing their jobs. Yup...it is usually down by policemen in plain clothes, doing an undercover arrest! Not by a para military troop! And I have seen videos, where these exact troops arrested folks whoo had no idea, why they were arrested and no trooper told them! I guess, my definition of "cops doing their job" differs a bit from yours! But I guess, you are from the USA- and you guys have some very special definitions of "the law" anyways!

And yes, the 2nd Amendment does allow the overthrow of Tyrannical Government. Do you really think that's in place now? If you do, rescind your American Citizenship and move to a peaceful Country. Bye! Well...they have been arresting people willy nilly and without any statement of why they were arrested! And please stop the hyperbole of "Anarchists, looters, arsonists, agitators etc. "!
