24 People Have Died Since Violence Erupted Following George Floyd’s Death

[grasping the after wind]

au·thor·i·ty
/əˈTHôrədē/
noun
1.
the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience.​

In this context, "right" and "authority" are synonymous.



There are certainly parallels to be drawn.



Why would I have cited any of that in the post addressed to you? I hadn't been addressing you at all until you asked about whether Bundy was a black conservative.

Seeing as you quoted my post I was under the impression that the following was addressed to me.

No, the point I'm trying to make is that conservatives do riot and conservatives do kill. Their protests may manifest themselves somewhat differently than left-wing protests, but there is still violence. Comparison is somewhat challenging because law enforcement tends to be more lassez faire and less heavy-handed with right-wing protests.

To which I replied

Your point was not corroborated by the evidence you presented as no conservative rioted in your example even after the associate of Bundy was shot and killed. You gave no evidence of law enforcement being laissez faire or less heavy handed with right wings protests. You gave no evidence of violence by right wing protests only evidence of violence by a single person you label as a conservative. It may well be true that conservatives riot but you have not given evidence to show that to be the case. I am sure that there are conservatives that kill( how many I have no idea but I suspect the number of conservatives that kill is lower than people of other ideologies. It certainly pales in comparison to the number of those killed by socialists on both the left and right in the 20 th and 21 st centuries.) . Perhaps you have evidence to back up your claims and simply neglected to cite it in the posts you addressed to me?

So if it was not me then who was the post above actually addressed to ? Was it to the person you responded to in an earlier post where you were conflating a white anarchist with a black conservative and an individual act of lawlessness with a riot?

"No police officers attacked"? Really? What do you call pointing a bunch of loaded weapons at them while they're trying to do their job?

Have you ever had a loaded weapon pointed at you? Because I have. There is a profound difference between someone pointing a weapon at you and someone actually pulling the trigger. In simpler terms, there is a difference between a threat and an actual assault.

That aside, I found this interesting. On April 24th of 2014 the Las Vegas Sun published an Op-Ed piece in which this assertion was made, quote:

"Bundy hit a trifecta of sorts: He violated the laws Congress made, ignored the judicial branch's orders, and defied the executive branch's efforts to enforce those laws and orders ... In the end, Bundy isn't the victor; anarchy is. The rule of law, and society as a whole, lost."

Today, apparently, none of that law and order crap means anything. There are Democrat elected officials and armed anarchist groups, leftist organizations such as Antifa and BLM, out violating the laws Congress made, ignoring the judicial branch's orders, and defying the executive branch's efforts to enforce law and order, and none of that seems to bother you.

No one died because the feds backed off.

Which doesn't change the fact no one died.

And the second standoff (i.e. the one in OR where they requested the mailing of snacks) involved his kid participating in the seizure of a federal park building.

When that event ended the building was still standing.

Bundy lost that case.

Which doesn't change the fact the case was settled in court.

Antifa didn't force the white guys to chant "you will not replace us, jews will not replace us." Antifa didn't force a white guy to drive his car into a crowd of people.

Simple cause and effect. What happened in Charlottesville was both encouraged and allowed to happen by the very people whom possessed the power to prevent it. As I illustrated prior, the mayor pronounced Charlottesville the "center of the resistance." Then he stood idle, handcuffed the police, and welcomed the violence. The blood is on his hands, not the Presidents.
