I'm sure he can just use the, "I'm not a violent piece of shit, I'm just a peaceful protestor" defense in court. Guaranteed acquittal in the current climate.

Residents, of course, have no such right... Nope. Typical "rules for thee but not for me."

It's stuff like this that truly confounds me:
"Why won't you conform?" as a protest slogan is just so...stupid.

Funny how these type of dipshit "protests" happen in areas of the country where gun carry permits aren't common.

Remember those halcyon days of yesteryear, when every schoolboy knew that the professional media was impartial, aside from FoxNews of course?
First there was this (a couple of days ago):
CNN's crawl (now everybody and their brother is calling it a chyron) labels the protests "violent," which I guess annoyed someone, because they pull it, then start it again without the "violent" qualifier.
Now this:
Being an actual conservative, I always hated being put into a position where I was expected to defend FoxNews' talking heads and news practices, because I knew that propaganda was a core feature of both. And maybe MSNBC wasn't that much different. But now? It's just ridiculous.

You know what really gets me? The simple reality that the police misconduct at the root of these protests is something that has been going on well before Trump became President (his only political office), yet somehow Trump is responsible for it, now.
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I think Trump is going to cruise to victory in November. And it's going to be the fault of all these reactionary and violent protesters, and the people who give them cover by hedging their criticism of shit they know is wrong because "orange man bad."

I'm not convinced he'll win, let alone "cruise to victory." But IF he wins, then I would completely agree a lot, if not most, of it will have been driven by "batshit crazy fatigue," where people are simply fed up with the insanity of the violent criminals masquerading as "protestors" and the obviously mentally ill behaviour of members of the fringe far left.

For a while now, I've been of the opinion that Trump was going to lose the election, because there was just too much stacked against him. And I was fundamentally happy about that, even though I'm fundamentally unhappy with the guy set to replace him (Biden, duh) because I don't think he's up to the job, at all. But the Left--as a group--just doesn't know when they've gone too far. I'll be happy if I'm proved wrong. As of this moment, I'm still prepared to vote Biden (I will not vote Trump, no matter what). But...I believe I have a breaking point, where Biden will lose my vote. I don't think I'm alone at all--indeed, I think I'm holding on longer than other people like me-- and such votes or lack of votes may actually matter in states like Florida.

One of the first things I see on twitter:
That's the Chicago teacher's union endorsing the building of a guillotine in front of Bezo's house.

Ha, first response I saw on it:
I guess it's at least a little encouraging that their post is getting ratioed to hell and back right now.

I just can't take a person or their argument seriously when they invoke the bullshit idea of "whiteness."
