How does any common-sense American support this fascism? ...Unmarked armed police throwing people into vans, shooting citizens, and a president claiming it is due to an imaginary enemy called Antifa and an imaginary threat of government buildings, when in fact the protests are supported by the majority of Americans and the majority of protests are non-violent--and yes, this is true: hundreds of towns across the USA have had peaceful protests.

Aye, for a country that harps on about forming militias if their government oversteps, they are remarkably meek when their government oversteps

This is losing control?


Or is this

Why would people protest about the arrival of more law agents .... I mean it’s not Russia or China....or is it....

 

[peteblue]

you don't actually believe cities are being lost control of do you ? Surely no one actually believes obviously grifty statements like that ?

It depends really. If the people who live there are happy then there isn’t a problem.....

 

[peteblue]

Oh for God's sake pete. Which cities are out of control? How are they out of control? Are only Democratically governed cities out of control? And how does a para military force accountable to nobody dragging people into unmarked vehicles for no god damn good reason help that?

All the cities are Democratically governed. The Democrats do not own the word. It just appears, and I’m obviously from afar , that Democrat governed cities are losing the plot....New York springs to mind.....

When the “law agents“ are not following the law themselves it is hardly a surprise they are unwelcome.

They are arresting people without probable cause, not reading Miranda rights to those they detain, targeting clearly marked medical/press civilians, not displaying identification even when requested and a whole host of other laws they are bending/breaking.

Its a well oiled machine and full of these ironies. Like if people demand raising minimum wage the poorest of poor struggling to feed their children on their pay cheque would attack them people and call them communists.

Those militia types only appear when those with different skin tones appear on streets in large peaceful groups to protest.

You will never find them near actual trouble. Maybe check a starbucks they are probably all there looking smug that they could carry assault rifles into a coffee shop.

How are we defining losing the plot here?

If you're being handcuffed and thrown in a van by heavily armed men, do you not think it's rather important that you know who they are and why you are being detained?

As long as the violations are committed against people of a different ethnicity or political opinion he will have zero empathy
