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.
"So what?"

Right-wing terrorists did a lot of damage rioting to disrupt BLM marches. But it doesn't match their work in the Jan 6 insurrection.
The attack -- carried out by supporters of former President Donald Trump who were dissatisfied with the 2020 election results -- caused about $2.7 billion in estimated costs, according to an updated report from the Government Accountability Office.
This amount includes damage to the Capitol building and grounds, costs borne by the Capitol Police, the District of Columbia, and federal agencies, and estimated costs to address security needs and investigations.
"It's all staggering," said GAO Homeland Security and Justice Team Director Triana McNeil, in an interview Tuesday with 13 News Now.
The cost to repay National Guard and to upgrade security for the Capitol was nearly a billion by itself.

And right-wing extremists got it all done in one day. It took them months to do the same damage trying to disrupt BLM marches.
Credit where credit is due.
WASHINGTON — After more than two and a half years, the true cost of the January 6 Capitol riot is coming into sharper focus.
The attack -- carried out by supporters of former President Donald Trump who were dissatisfied with the 2020 election results -- caused about $2.7 billion in estimated costs, according to an updated report from the Government Accountability Office.
This amount includes damage to the Capitol building and grounds, costs borne by the Capitol Police, the District of Columbia, and federal agencies, and estimated costs to address security needs and investigations.
"It's all staggering," said GAO Homeland Security and Justice Team Director Triana McNeil, in an interview Tuesday with 13 News Now.
The cost to repay National Guard and to upgrade security for the Capitol was nearly a billion by itself.
By the numbers: The cost and consequences of the Jan. 6 riot
Amid the political rhetoric over the Capitol riot, it can be easy to lose sight of what actually happened on and after Jan. 6.
And right-wing extremists got it all done in one day. It took them months to do the same damage trying to disrupt BLM marches.
Credit where credit is due.

Why would he? He sent them there to "fight like hell." And then they did his bidding. Only when it was clear that the insurrection had failed, did he do anything at all.
