Riots and the media's response

The fact that we are comparing two different circumstances as if they were the same means we are illogical thinkers.  One circumstance is brought on by inequality, the other is brought to light over an election.  When we can think deeper than this, and make logical decisions is when we will learn that neither party has our best interest at heart.  They both want to rule the world in their own way and our needs and wants are 2nd nature to that greed!

I spelled out pretty clearly my thought on protests and riots no matter the reason in an earlier post on this thread.

The point of this thread and my discussion was never to compare the motivations but to highlight and compare the responses by the liberal media and politicians, because in this case they are the ones who have had differing responses.  What I hope people will do is look at the linked info and see the disparity and recognize it for what it is and maybe see how it might be (in my mind is) at least partly responsible for the mindset that caused the riots in this country in recent months.  That includes the riot in the Capitol bldg..  In the end rioters no matter who they are are not interested in much of anything other than breaking some stuff and maybe getting some loot depending on the location.  (e.g, stealing big screen TVs or the Speakers lectern) That is what separates them from protestors. 

I have neither the time nor the inclination to engage in a discussion the whys and hows.  I played that game on CF 20 yrs ago.  Been there done that.  It's tiresome to sort out and reference the rebuttals to the crap people spew, and if you're going to respond and rebut  you should do so with backup (and never use Wikipedia) and not "NA UH!, you fuctard!".

Theres only one asshole on these boards who makes wild accusations and generalizations to push his biased agenda

Another apologist for the secessionist murderers.

Keep going, we are all watching you.

There is an asshole like you on every board and what amazes me is your abject ignorance when it comes to politics. Most including myself and Wade can view things in a balanced reasonable way that assigns blame where it belongs but you never got on here and condemned the rioting, looting, and burning of numerous cities when your side was doing it nor did it seem you cared to condemn the immediate riots when your snowflake brethren didn’t get their way in November 2016. If you bothered to do any investigation at all, you would know that some of this disgraceful display in DC involved rabble rousers from a terrorist group known as antifa infiltrating the crowd and inciting violence. Some would’ve done it anyway but the fact remains that you think hurt feelings or disgust is reserved for your liberal left only because what they do serves your liberal agenda. There is so much hypocrisy in your drivel that it is astounding there exists people as obtuse and dense as you.

No that's not what you're doing at all.

You are de-facto justifying the Capitol assault by saying "whatabout BLM". That's horse shit. Get your fucking head straight. You do this the fucking day after our capitol was attacked by an armed mob of insurrectionists?? Leaving many dead including a Capitol cop? And by the way WHILE ALL OF CONGRESS IS IN THE BUILDING WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT. THE TOP 4 IN THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION LINE. What fucking country are you from? Doesn't sound like you're much of an American bud. Shame on you.

Here's what you do. Are you ready?

You condemn this seditionist attack on the Capitol. Unequivocally and completely. Then you STFU.

Sweet.  You're going out like you did on FOH - directly calling out the politics of the board owner.  Are you still going to log in here like you do at FOH?

Fantastic speaker on CNN now who shows different points of info view now. He definitely thinks what is going on is awful and needs circumstances.

The near future help for Coronavirus is risky but discussion beyond attack at Congress.

He also lists good things accomplished in past 4 years and wished any president would “roll up his sleeves and say we will get this done and get back the White House in 2024”

But no, this has gone out the window due to Trump’s behaviour and the lost mind of this President. While the riot occurred Trump was calling members of Congress telling them how to vote. He was laughing and excited about what was going on according to contacts in the White House.

Today he is Tweeting under alternate ID’s and cannot speak live like other members who suffered under the attack.

Last, the discussion on now wonders if blocking Twitter etc is censorship others will regret later.

Interesting times. I think it is horrifying but this show raises points I did not ponder.

"[i]No evidence has been found that members of the left-wing antifa movement were involved in this week’s storming of the Capitol building, the FBI said Friday, contradicting a narrative pushed by some Trump allies.

“We have no indication of that at this time,” Washington Field Office assistant director Steven D'Antuono said during a briefing when asked about any potential involvement of antifa.[/i]"

Just read this. Interesting.

Still working in the building, even as the West Wing has been clearing out, are Nick Luna, the president’s body man; Johnny McEntee, the director of the presidential personnel office; and [u][i]Dan Scavino, the president’s former golf caddy turned deputy chief of staff for communications[/i][/u]. Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, is still working in the West Wing and plans to stay until the lights are turned off. But he has been described by colleagues as shellshocked in recent days.

Reading this thread is laughable one minute, until I realise some people are serious!?!

Trump supporters stormed your parliament
Trump incited/encouraged it
The different reaction to a predominantly white crowd and a predominately black crowd speaks huge volumes


I can't fathom how any sane person could come to any different conclusion

Is amnesia a side effect of being a leftist? First off, they didn't destroy the Capitol. They broke a few windows then went inside and clowned around... Whereas BLM/Antifa burn entire cities, loot small businesses, and attack innocent people on a regular basis. They also torched a police station which is also a government facility! I can vividly remember last year being afraid to travel places I NEEDED to go because I didn't want to get surrounded by BLM rioters and drug out of my vehicle and beat to death. NOTHING was being done about that crap. The media was supporting the destruction, big tech was supporting it, and of course the media and basically all politicians. Now it's the polar opposite when a DIFFERENT group has a grievance. That's called hypocrisy, that's called double standards and it's killing this country!

Truth.

Another truth:

When the facts are against you, blame “the media” for reporting them.

Dude, you missed something somewhere, Fascism 101 is "control the media".
