OK derec. RE: stolen land. The RW gang was 'protecting' their property rights to graze their property on the people's property in Nevada and Eastern Oregon because they believed that government stole the land from the enterprise, 'take it if is not occupied' set in the 1800s.
Have I ever defended them? No, I have not!
As I said before, pox on both their houses. However there is a definite bias on this forum defending left-wing extremism and violence.
What now makes that attitude a leftist attitude?
The "stolen land" slogan here refers not to grazing in Nevada but to American Indians, a favorite subject of the far left. Note that this particular violence was perpetrated on Columbus Day.
Portland protesters topple statues of Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln in ‘Day of Rage’; police declare riot
Oregon Live said:A group of protesters toppled statues of former presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln and shattered the entrance to the Oregon Historical Society in Portland’s South Park Blocks late Sunday before moving into other areas of downtown, smashing storefronts and engaging in other acts of destruction.
Police declared the event a riot and ordered people rampaging through the city’s streets to disperse but did not directly intervene until nearly an hour after the first statue fell. The crowd scattered when police cruisers flooded the area, and officers in tactical gear appeared to make several arrests. Protest organizers had promoted the event on social media as an “Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage.” Monday is the federally observed holiday of Columbus Day, but many states and cities now recognize the day instead as Indigenous Peoples Day over concerns that Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas helped launch centuries of violence against indigenous populations.
You could not be more wrong. Why is it so hard for leftists to acknowledge violence by the Left? And you can't really be serious about that naïve with that description of the "reedies"[sic], can you?Looks very much to me as if rightists were protesting those who tampered with white rights again in Oregon, the home of Posse Comitatus. Reedies are more in to poetry, music, painting, eating and removable body art and, oh yeah, corporate and judicial leadership.
IOW you're argument reasoning is about as original and believable as - I know this is going to hurt your impartial claim - a Trump rant.
That applies more to you and your repeated unwillingness to acknowledge reality finding refuge in increasingly outrageous audacity like "It had nothing to do with Indians , it's about Nevada grazers".
By the way, Democrats better acknowledge leftist violence and do something about it. Biden needs a clear "Sista Souljah" moment here.
I am convinced that Trump could never have won without people being fearful over the widespread riots that started in 2014. Even with Dems nominating a horrible candidate. Hell, he probably would not even have won the nomination without #BLMers burning down buildings, looting, rioting - and occasionally murdering police officers - being on the evening news for the previous two years.
And what do #BLMers and their allies do in 2020? They start rioting even harder, ostensibly over some felonious (robbery of a pregnant woman) junkie dying from a fentanyl overdose.
I still think Biden is very likely to win, but Trump ekes out a victory again, he has #BLMers and Antifas to thank!
