  • 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.

Clearly you are wrong.

This is funny.

Before Trump was even president. It dates from the Biden era.
other quotes from the article:
" WASHINGTON - Total violent crime for 2024 in the District of Columbia is down 35% from 2023 and is the lowest it has been in over 30 years"
Yes, under the Biden administration crime went down. Sans deployement of the National Guard.

"In addition to the overall violent crime reduction, homicides are down 32%; robberies are down 39%; armed carjackings are down 53%; assaults with a dangerous weapon are down 27% when compared with 2023 levels, with the District reporting the fewest assaults with dangerous weapons and burglaries in over 30 years."
Tell me how necessary it was to dispatch the NG.

I have read it. And yes, it comes from an incredibly left leaning source that fabricated nonsense. The only sources that liberals trust. If it was an actual source that was honest, liberals would immediately dismiss it as propaganda. Remind me how many young black kids have been murdered since Trump sent the national guard. Not that it matters to anyone but Trump and MAGA conservatives.
Oh?
All the sudden the source you brandished is untrustworthy and fabricates its data? And you (you alone) have access to that data?
And you don't want to share it, you prefer to spread misinformation? Knowingly, willfully and on purpose?
The bible says something about spreading false information. It has even be carved in stone with a flaming finger.

And killed two people in the Trump administration. The question is: which one of Trump’s policies caused him to kill?
I have to disagree here. There is currently nothing that indicates that any of the Trump policies pushed that man to kill. It's an option among many, but certainly not an established fact.

Even an infant could have told Trump that those soldiers would have a target on their backs being deployed in that way.

Putting soldiers on a street makes them a target. Civilians invariably see them as an occupying force. Even when it’s their own troops.

I think that the way afghans that had an entitlement to flee their country have been treated by the west is quite shameful. They have worked with the western nations, provided valuable services, and now that they are no longer useful and at risk by the Taliban, they are treated like hot garbage at best and an active security risk at worst. While the taliban get courted and accepted back onto the world stage, those collaborators are treated like they are the real terrorists.

Without condoning this attack, I can understand the frustration and how it might push some people to a breaking point.

That might be true "in general", but there is currently too little information available to claim that it is applicable here.

Can you provide an example of *anyone* "feeling sorry for the guy"?
Anything less than screaming for their lynching is being too soft-hearted.
