Massive protests expected at Chicago’s DNC; police are ready

[HARK!]

It's simple: if it's peaceful, it ain't a riot. If it's a riot, it ain't peaceful.

That's the way that I've always viewed it. So when the Liberal media calls a riot a "mostly peaceful protest;" can we assume that they are attempting to deceive people regarding the riotous nature of some of these Liberal groups?

Yay! We got there! Gee, but that was hard work...

Not quite. But you can assume the peaceful parts weren't the rioting parts, and the rioting parts weren't the peaceful ones.

Look at it like a bowl of Lucky Charms. Some parts are cereal, some parts are marshmallow. If there are more cereal bits than marshmallow bits, you can say the bowl is mostly cereal, even if you can still see the marshmallow bits. No deception involved.

But...if you said Lucky Charms had a "marshmallowous nature" because there were some marshmallows, despite it having more cereal than marshmallow, would that be honest, or an attempt at deception?

-- A2SG, you do the math.....

 

[HARK!]

Yay! We got there! Gee, but that was hard work...

If a Liberal had stepped up and been forthcoming with the obvious sooner; we could have avoided all of this obfuscation.

Kudos to A2SG. I hope that his peers don't turn on him for telling the truth.

What if the marshmallows were contaminated and toxic? Would you go out on a street corner and hawk the cereal to the gullible; or would you consider it a toxic mix?

When 100's of buildings are burning; there is violence in the streets; and police are firing tear gas, and telling people to disburse; that is not peaceful, no matter how you do the math.

All this for that? Why not just make the point initially? Here it just looks like deflection from the fact that the predicted riots haven’t really happened.

I'm reminded of an old Osmond family song....

The thing is, some people want more cereal, some want more marshmallows. It all depends on their agenda.

Yup. As I said, the peaceful parts weren't the rioting parts, and the rioting parts weren't the peaceful ones. Sometimes there's more of one than the other. As I said, it all depends on the agenda of those involved.

-- A2SG, oh, I don't care what they say, I don't care what you heard now...

So you too would agree with my suspicions that the Liberal media is being deceptive in this regard?

There was a riot on the first day. I already posted video of it.

We still have a week to go with groups like this one calling for:

One Chicago protest group issues a call to “make it great like ‘68” and “shut down the DNC”​

One Chicago protest group issues a call to “make it great like ‘68” and “shut down the DNC”

A spokesperson for the self-described “militant” group says its plan differs from protesters who got a permit to march during the convention.

You might not be taking this seriously; but the Chicago police are.

A riot is a riot, regardless of the number of peaceful bystanders, no matter how much those with an agenda attempt to sugar coat it.

 

[A2SG]

A riot is a riot, regardless of the number of peaceful bystanders, no matter how much those with an agenda attempt to sugar coat it.

Who said otherwise?

Take January 6 as an example. Sure, some people listened to Trump's speech and did nothing. Some maybe listened to the speech and also walked over to the Capitol...and then did nothing. Maybe they went home, maybe they went to check out the Air and Space Museum, who knows?

And some people listened to Trump's speech, went to the Capitol, and participated in the riot.

One of these groups doesn't excuse the existence of the other, and vice versa. Both can exist. Some people rioted, some people were peaceful.

As I said before, how you perceive the event as a whole depends on your agenda. If you focus on one group, to the point where you ignore the other, or pretend they don't exist, then you're not getting the whole picture, and you're distorting the event.

This isn't to say the peaceful protests excuse the riots. But, by the same token, that there was a riot doesn't mean the peaceful protest didn't also happen.

It all depends on your perspective. And your agenda.

-- A2SG, though, it must be said....the Air and Space Museum is well worth a visit.....

You might not be taking this seriously; but the Chicago police are.

From your link.

“Behind Enemy Lines has opened a temporary office on Chicago’s Northwest Side, decorated with posters bearing slogans such as “Stop Killer Kamala” and “Fight Back for Gaza!”

These might not be on the side of Mrs Harris or the Democratic Party. They might be the baddies.

No surprise that we don't hear the Liberal media calling j6 a mostly peaceful protest.

Their propaganda is clearly fueled by their agenda.

Clearly they don't support Harris; and no one voted for her. Does that mean that they are "baddies" who aren't Democrats?

The election is in November I’m reliably informed.

 

[HARK!]

The election is in November I’m reliably informed.

The Primaries have come and gone. Harris was not elected. Biden was.

So much for Democracy.

 

[A2SG]

Was it "mostly peaceful" though? How many of those who did what Trump said and marched to the Capitol just peacefully and patriotically made their voices heard, versus how many stormed the Capitol and broke in? Same for a BLM protest.

How much is cereal, how much is marshmallow?

Their propaganda is clearly fueled by their agenda.

That's what propaganda is, though. It's always fueled by an agenda.

However, there's a difference between propaganda and a difference of opinion. Just because you may disagree with an opinion given on a website, or whatever, that doesn't mean it's propaganda. It's just someone offering a different view than your own.

For example, if you agree with the views of those who rioted on January 6, but not with those who rioted at a BLM protest, you might be more inclined to see the riots in the latter than the former. Or the other way around. Again, perception is often fueled by one's agenda.

If you want to see more cereal than marshmallow, that's what you see....you may not even bother trying to count them.

-- A2SG, it's possible I'm hungry for breakfast, though....

 

[A2SG]

The Primaries have come and gone. Harris was not elected. Biden was.

No one is elected through the primaries. They determine who is to be the party's nominee, and that's all.

In this case, Kamala Harris was elected. She was President Biden's running mate, and was elected Vice President back in 2020. All who voted for Biden in this election knew that Harris would take his place if something happened.

Well, something happened.

So much for Democracy.

Stranger things have happened. Gerald Ford, for example.

-- A2SG, and democracy survived......

I haven't seen anyone but Liberals try to pass off any riot as a mostly peaceful protest.

Feeble attempts to defend such propaganda is laughable.

 

[A2SG]

Look harder. Many, even on this board, have tried to claim that January 6 was mostly peaceful. Some have even cited Tucker Carlson's edited footage from that day in doing so.

Feeble attempts to defend such propaganda is laughable.

Feeble is often in the eye of the beholder.

-- A2SG, as is propaganda.....

 

[HARK!]

They call them Primary Elections; because that is where the Democratic process of electing the Party nominee takes place.
