The peaceful protesters

[Desk trauma]

Now all you need is proof -

There is no proof that they purchased the head just as there is no proof that they killed the pig themselves and cut off its head. No one involved has detailed how they got it so it's all speculation at this point.

Thanks. To get back to the OP, how is this representative of all the protesters? Is this not part of free speech like burning a flag?

There were no clashes between the protesters and the police last night in Portland. That is a big step in my book.

The last thing Trump and his supporters want is for the protests in Portland to calm down after the federal presence has been removed - the pig incident is just another attempt to divert attention away from the real story!

While this President and his supporters continue to wrap themselves in the flag, Trump represents the greatest threat to a create a constitutional crisis and obstacle to the peaceful transfer of political power in our lifetime!

Then why not thwart what Trump supporters want and just walk away. That’ll get them!!

You mean besides the first hand witness and the correlating video?

I hope you don’t mean someone in the media. They have lost all credibility

a first hand witness with a long history of making things up. so he has no credibility to begin with

a video of such poor quality we can't even tell what is burning or how

a video that doesn't show where or when it took place



so yeah a credible source would be real nice.

Tell that to PETA and the people who raid restaurants for eating beef.

Where are the rest of the threads you've started where we can read more about your consistent concern about animal rights?

He says they are a myth.

One competing religion I have seen is called Socialism.

Yup. There are a lot of religions when you include all the ideologies, as I do. Of course, as more than 1 person has observed, Trump has become sorta of a religion, with plenty of followers who believe(d) anything he said. But I wonder how long they will continue to believe and buy the illusions? He truly is a very good salesman, but there is a point when an illusion is broken or fails. It can take years, and it's been some years already.

I think everyone here has agreed that it was repulsive, vile, disgusting, etc. and no one has excused their actions.

Actually, they haven't. They attempt to divert attention away from how disgusting (may I use the word "offensive"?) it is by saying things like:

There is no proof that they purchased the head just as there is no proof that they killed the pig themselves and cut off its head. No one involved has detailed how they got it so it's all speculation at this point.

Something being distasteful does not make it violent.

but the only source for this is a man with a history of making things just like this up.

Are you certain they did all those things?

I'm not going to look up all of the posts from others you have listed, this one will do.

How on earth is what I said diverting any attention away from how offensive it was?

Sure, it’s offensive. I think that was the point of it. Do you know specifically who is responsible for it?

Interesting that I am only finding this story in the OP in right wing blogo-sphere sites and not local Portland news sites, not even the local Fox news. Or AP news. Or Reuters.

I will be waiting on the fact check.

if it's not real is it still offensive?

That's because nobody cares who Andy Ngo is outside of right-wingers who drool over everything he writes or the left-wingers who clutch their pearls at him. It's obvious from watching the video that this was a tiny nothing of an event. Like I said earlier, I've had bigger fires in a backyard grill.

As long as the "fact checkers" are people who support this type of thing and yet realize that it's not in their best interest for it to be publicized, we know what they will tell us the "facts" are.

That is assumption and bias.

It gets posted on a right wing site like Breitbart and gets copied over the whole right wing website group. But nothing from AP or Rueters or local stations about it

Just as liberal news sources like ABC News will have their reporters on TV saying things like, "President Trump continues to push the false narrative of....." when they report what they believe to be "facts" but are simply biased themselves.

I think some like to proclaim different news sources as liberal when they are not

ABC and CBS are neutral

I actually watch their news broadcasts each night, and they are anything but neutral.

So are you claiming to be unbiased or can we not trust anything you say?
