mikebike Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 4 minutes ago, PattayaJames said: I was just pointing out that it was a fact, which some were strangely denying. With regard to the car attack it makes no odds. However as I said when you go out in armed groups to protest and or counter protest, you better know you are putting yourself in harms way. Obviously this was extreme, but the situation is different to an attack on people innocently going about their daily business. You are putting yourself into an armed confrontation. Are you seriously contending that anyone who attends a protest, for or against, should not expect the rule of law to be abided in America? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. It has a thick barrel, slims down into a thinner shaft and has a knob on the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the distorted/pixelated photo the "baseball bat" is thicker in the middle than at either end ...can you post a link to a standard baseball bat that is thickest in the middle? Where are you seeing the knob at the end in the above picture? Is it not more likely a stick that has been distorted due to the low quality of the image?

If you attend a protest and you can see people on either side are armed is the rule of law is being abided by? Once the violence, against people, or property starts you are outside of the rule of law. If you choose to stick around up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Enough with the baseball bats. Just a distraction. The Nazis were there to promote the most vile racist message imaginable. The counter protesters were there to oppose them. There is no moral equivalence. Nazis are always the bad guys except to other Nazis. We're in a very dark time indeed when the president needs to be pressured to condemn Nazis. Obviously reluctantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many places open carry is fine, which is fine by me, i just don't expect anyone but a lunatic to open up with their open carry. Merely being present at a protest which becomes violent does not mean that you are breaking the law only the perpetrators of the violence are.

JHolmesJr Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Anyway…back on topic….im watching the cnn driven narrative around this lady who got run over. terrible stuff. but i have to wonder….why does one group have to counter protest when another is marching to have their voice heard. if you have a bunch of whalers marching for their rights and a bunch of anti whalers starts protesting at the same time, of course theres gonna be trouble. couldn't they have waited a day before marching against white supremacy?

His limited command of English does not include words like egregious, which he probably doesn't even know the meaning of. If he expects people to believe that he truly condemns racists, including White Supremacists, he should come out and say so, not have the White House intimate it on his behalf. You think Presidents write their own speeches? Must be nice to be so naive. Like who exactly? Obama perhaps, the Great Orator? Never heard of Jon Favreau I guess?

The counter-protesters having weapons is a salient fact here. It is not a 1"x2" softwood placard stick. Not that I fault them, nor do I think they misused them.

Well, I believe he writes his own Tweets, unless you are naive enough to think he gets someone else to come up with all the drivel and lies they contain. And we were talking about a single line here, not a full speech. Obviously someone else wrote this though, as he isn't capable of such loquaciousness.
