  • 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.

"Federal agents were forced to deploy pepper spray and other crowd control measures after a sizable mob of Somali and far-left rioters surrounded them as they conducted deportation operations in Minneapolis on Tuesday."

They were interfering with a federal law enforcement operation, continuing to block access after a lawful order was given.
I like how the fine journalists @ trendingpoliticsnews polled the crowd to see if the mob was centrist or “far-left”; (we know they’re not right (far or otherwise) because they always like what the government does when there’s a R in the WH).

Did you watch the video? There's no riot there. Why do you call them rioters?

That's true and certainly an arrestable offense.

It's still not a riot.
