See? That's how a dangerously silly stupid post goes. People like you label people or events you don't like as something evil, like calling them "domestic terrorists" and you gloss over real domestic terrorism as nothing but "Urban violence". You play word games because there are really stupid people that will believe you and your fake BS, and then you try to cloak yourself in some make believe false mantle of "truth" and facts" when you know that almost everything you say is pure horse manure.

Hahahah hah destroyer calls me a “ domestic terrorist” and of course discredits our Director of FBI.
But of course you’re WRONG AGAIN - here’s the definition of domestic terrorist - which the Insurrectionist were:
Terrorism - FBI
Domestic terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences

Exactly what these people were that attacked our Capitol and FBI Director 100 % correct .

In fairness, that definition exactly fits the rioting left wing mobs for more than a year and continuing today. The result of permissioning this kind of lawlessness is the spreading of lawlessness, e.g. kids now think it’s OK to organize threats against schools on TikTok. This largely inconsequence lawlessness is a very serious threat to our democracy and very destructive to the way of life our magnificent country has achieved.

You can hold whatever opinion you have as to the severity of the capitol violence and Trump’s character, but I think not vigorously engaging this very serious, virulent threat is a huge mistake. I think anyone not working hard to vote out the far left, incompetent and flagrantly dishonest office holders who are perpetuating this foolishness is way far off a reasonable path - ignoring a huge body of facts and truth that is before us every day.

Scook - I don’t “ hold any OPINION I want “ about the violent Insurrection attempt to stop our legally voted Presidential transfer of power from Trump to Biden .
I write about the FACTS OF WHAT TOOK PLACE- those who encouraged it, those that delayed action to stop it, those guilty of the violence, and those that try to minimize and lie what happened.

We WILL NOT dismiss the historic attempt to kill our Vice President and stop our democratic process by virtue of comparison to other violent demonstrations.

Inner city violence is another issue and problem.

My point remains - I just don’t see you engaging what is a very serious threat to our national wellbeing.

If the FBI was doing it’s job, having plenty of notice via social media, they would have coordinated a large federal law enforcement presence at the capitol, stopped the violent members of the group from getting in and there would still have been a big demonstration.

If I were in charge of local law enforcement in my city, Portland, I would have placed a very large police presence in the path of the domestic terrorists who were attacking public and private buildings and citizens, causing millions of dollars of damage, serious injury and death and bankrupting a lot of businesses, many minority owned. I would have invited federal law enforcement to protect federal facilities and personnel, not referred to them as occupiers and thugs like our state and city officials did. I would have had all violent offenders arrested (of course, to get them prosecuted, we would have had to get rid of our far left foolish DA as well).

My opinion of the severity of the capitol violence and Trump’s connection to it is definitely less extreme than yours, but I’m very concerned about what happened. I think if you really care about the big picture of our well-being, and I think you do, you should show significantly more concern than is expressed in your posts.

1. The amount of concern I write about specific to any particular subject is mine to choose …..and yours to judge if you wish. Mostly irrelevant to me.

2. The Capitol Insurrection attempt was a historical violent event that challenged the integrity of our democratic continuum .

So post all you want about urban violence. As stated, I don’t connect the two as excuse for either .

[scook]

I’m not suggesting any excuse, one for the other - it just seems to me that the rampant domestic terrorism and lawlessness is a very serious threat. There was zero possibility of the capitol violence stopping the transition of power - the most it could have done is delay it a little. No excuse, it was reprehensible, but it’s importance is, I think overestimated. The ongoing anarchist rioting is changing the country in ways that are going to be difficult to recover from.

Maybe I’m wrong, but you seem to be pretty dismissive of something that needs the urgent attention of ALL of us.

So start your own thread and write about it.
Are you just stubborn or you can’t understand .

You write what you want —- I’ll write what I want .
Stop begging me to write about what you want.
