  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Technically this is the "News and Current Events" subforum, so not strictly the American Politics section.
It all blends together. But thanks for pointing it out.

It's still off topic.

When did you see that?

Answer: nowhere
1) I saw video of Miller's speech.
Helicopter:
https://people.com/ice-agents-overnight-chicago-raid-11823082

But you and I know it won't matter when you see this. You seemed to think it didn't exist. It's not like you are now going to address the content of the previous provided Miller video or the story of the helicopter raid. And I'm just a silly guy looking in at America and the military state it's becoming under an dementia suffering authoritarian.
It is an embarrassment how far the society fell under the policies of the former administration, their lack of support for police and their turning a blind eye to destruction and violence.
Oh please. American society was fine. "Society" didn't fall during Biden....that's a bunch of hyperbolic drivel that you've been sold and are REQUIRED to believe to justify what trump is doing to America now.

Your country is turning into an embarrassment and people laugh at your tinpot, pathetic leader.

Arguably, American society was doing pretty good a year ago in terms of the functionality of ALL of it's members.

Are we talking the Biden years :laughing:. When did you pull your head out of the ground?

How does one identify the “troublemakers”?
The ones who are yelling and screaming at the authorities and Federal Troops and (yes, notice I said "AND") doing other destructive things like breaking windows, throwing paint on public property, harassing taunting others who are just innocent bystanders.

Steven Miller:

Federal agents descending from helicopters to round up black and brown people:
I didnt aee anything about agents descending from helicopters to arrest brown people. I dont think your videos supported your claim.

It seems to be you might be being too broad. Your statement to arrest brown people makes it seem like they are simy arresting brown people just cause they are brown. Is that your claim?

Maybe you could be more specific. Was the goal to arrest brown people because they were brown or was their goal to arrest tren de aragua gang members? I want to say it was the latter. Am I wrong?

And quite frankly if they have to descend from helicopters to do that, I'm okay with that. Although in this case I don't think they did.

It’s interesting you accuse me of denying that things happened or exist yet in the paragraph above you’re doing the exact same thing.

$2 billion in damage from these mostly peaceful protest seven people dead minority businesses loaded and destroyed all during what was called the summer of love.

No multiply that by the different places that it was happening. Oh wow, the Biden‘s administration turned their back on violence and even denied it was happening.

Give me a break with your seemingly feigned concern

Just like ones who believed the op where protestors were in the single digits.

You really want us to believe that one in one of the most heavily populated areas of that city where there are thousands of people witnessing these horrible helicopters with people repelling out of them and secret away hundreds of people there wasn’t one phone that had a camera on it there wasn’t one video provided.

All you care missing is proof

1) Are you just making thigns up? The summer of love was 67.
What you are talking about happenned when TRUMP was in power (assuming you are indirectly referring to BLM protest). Unless there's some other event i've never heard of that happenned under biden.


No multiply that by the different places that it was happening.
you mean the time when 93% of the protests were nonviolent?
And I'm not going to multiply a random number you put up without any backing. Because when I looked it showed it was 1 to 2 billion for ALL of the damage.

Oh wow, the Biden‘s administration turned their back on violence and even denied it was happening.
Which violence are you talking about? The BLM violence that occurred while Trump was in charge?

Give me a break with your seeminglyfeigned concern
In this entire post you alluded to some kind of event that happenned but never named it. The only event I can guess didn't even happen under the Biden adminstration...it happenned under trump (surprise, surprise). And it seems like you wouldn't be doing a good job saying "Biden is the problem" if you can only quote an event that happenned under Trump.

So I'm not sure what you may be referring to if it's not the blm protests.


But besides that, guess what? The summer of love ended. The protests died down and the violence stopped altogether.

What you have now is a police state with no apparent intention of ceasing and leaders that froth at the mouth like rabid dogs because they are entitled spoiled brats (referring specifically to STephen Miller).
Stephen Miller at high school angry he has to put garbage in trash can.

What kind of misanthrope actually says stuff like this outloud?

Lol. Police state.

Defined: A police state is a country where a repressive government maintains strict control over the population, often using a national police force, especially secret police, to suppress dissent and monitor citizens' activities. In a police state, civil liberties are severely restricted, and freedoms of speech, assembly, and expression are curtailed to enforce government policy and maintain social order.

Portland police arrest conservative journalist on disorderly conduct charge along with two others

The arrest came after the Portland Police Bureau said it was "monitoring the protestduring the evening and observed some protest participants engaging in fights." [Nicholas] Sortor was charged with disorderly conduct in the second degree.

"And when they put me into handcuffs, the first thing that went to my mind wasn't, 'Oh, you're being arrested.' It's, 'Oh, they're trying to help you and get you out of here and make it look like they're doing something.' Because they weren't telling me what they were doing. They weren't telling me I was under arrest. They weren't telling me what I was being charged with. And it took over an hour for me to find out what I was charged with," Sortor claimed.

At about 11:16 p.m., Portland police said its Rapid Response Team moved in and arrested three people, who were all booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) on charges of disorderly conduct in the second degree.

Police identified those arrested on the disorderly conduct charge as Nicholas Sortor, 27, of Washington, D.C., Son Mi Yi, 43, of Portland, and Angela Davis, 49, of Vernonia, Oregon. [or at least that's the name she gave them?]

Yes, I saw a similar report on that. And the tv news reporter was laughing at the situation because earlier that day a female news reporter received a black eye from one of the protesters (who hit the female news reporter with a sign) and the police were right there and did nothing to arrest that protester. But then the male news reporter gets arrested for his scuffle. What justice.
