  • 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.

Perhaps it is because the people in the church

1. walked away
2. Did not throw frozen bottles of water at the rioters
3. Did not shoot fire works at the rioters
4. Did not scream and blow whistles just inches from the rioters faces
5. Did not follow the rioters out of the church screaming at them

Could that be a possibility?
You mean like Alex Peritti did?
Meaning, if the church members had not walked away, the protestors would have done the above? No.
There are pearl clutching meters here that need adjustment.

Then discuss it in the proper thread - This one is about a disgraceful act by Don Lemon and his crony's interrupting a church service - a direct violation of the law.

Ok. One more time. Don Lemon was a journalist doing what journalists do. A judge already refused to sign off on charges. And frankly with the others it's going to be another case of this DOJ overstepping on charges.

ok, One more time - Don Lemon is on camera helping and encouraging them - to the point of kissing the organizer - He is not a journalist - he is at best a propagandist. Even CNN didn't want his rhetoric.

Secondly - you can't give the outcome - it might be your fondest hope and desire, but how about we let the judicial system run it's course.

Apparently the arbitrator who decides and signs off on charges disagrees with you.
This will go the same way as Jim Comey, Leticia James, Lisa Cook, and heck, even Abrego Garcia.

This thread is kind of amazing. With all that's going on all around the country with the way ICE is not only stomping on peoples rights, the rights of American's, the literal assassination of Americans, because Alex was frankly literally disarmed and assassinated. In light of all that what gets people riled up is a inside church protest where unlike ICE, no one was killed. No one was wrongfully assaulted. No babies were peppered sprayed. There are no federal agencies lying on their behalf. No Americans wrongfully sent to deportation centers for days if not weeks.
What has been going is that people have been murdered and raped and permanently injured by illegal aliens let into our country by the Biden regime. Their rights were trampled on because of a wilful violation of Biden's oath of office, supported by politicians who were greedy to see their own power and control increased. It appears that many of these political leaders have a total lack of empathy for the victims. Trump was elected president by almost 80 million people, much because of the border disaster and the two-tiered justice system under the Biden administration. Freedom of religion is a core value of our country, it was a major reason why our country, a country founded upon the principle that our rights come from God, was founded. Those who break the law in regard to religion should not be excused just because they are a group aligned with the local party in power.

Yes, that's how we decide, by a democratic election. Whether people like the laws passed under any administration, they have a responsibility to comply with those laws.

Unless your guy loses. Then it becomes do everything in your power to overturn a democratic election.

Sure and they can protest if the enforcement of those laws is leading to social unrest, violence and abuses from the very agencies tasked with that enforcement.

You can protest PEACEFULLY, not throw rocks and bottles at law enforcement officers nor bite off a finger nor barge into a privately owned church and scare the children.

That is NOT what's going on at all. And your assertion that what ICE is doing is what people voted for flies in the face of current reality.

Since the beginning of this operation, law enforcement has put themselves in harm’s way to arrest dangerous criminals, including members of notorious, violent gangs. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of homicide, drug trafficking, sexual assault against a child, rape with a weapon, and other horrific crimes are now off the streets because of Operation Metro Surge.
Unfortunately, you and other Minnesota officials have refused to support the men and women risking their lives to protect Americans and uphold the rule of law.

Really? A letter from the Trump admin whose officials have been lying about accounts and events, conducting illegal searches, lies in court, ignores court orders, and who are literally assassinating people. The same DOJ who is trying to shake down the Minnesota Sec of State for voter rolls the courts already ruled to go pound sand. The local authorities are having to protect innocent civilians from the Trump Justice department in more ways than one. That is your basis? Amazing.

Both Walz and Frey have broken their oaths of office, they refuse to send out local law enforcement to separate agitators from ICE personnel despite the fact they know there will be trouble.
