Gonna be a mess - got an excuse to agitate

[sroz]

Just saw the 9news report on the Springs Antifa protest. Lots of video. Not a single firearm. Must not have happened.

Funny how that works...

I remember discussions on this forum from years ago with some people openly wishing for revolution in the misguided belief our side had the guns so we'd obviously prevail. I recall mentioning that it was ill-advised to just assume our side would win because we have more guns. I think this, along with the well orchestrated violence in various cities around the country, is a perfect illustration of why I've always felt our side wouldn't automatically win.

We may have more guns, but right now they have guns, too. They also have the political backing and the media pushing their agenda. Most importantly, they seem to have the will to carry out their desires to transform America. So far, our side has been pretty impotent in terms of any response.

We're potentially one election cycle away from waking up to find ourselves in the new Venezuela...or Cuba.

I remember. You were right then, and now.

Portland's deadliest month in 30 years ends with 150 shots fired

Yeah, get rid of cops and let the "protestors" face no resistance. Sounds like the perfect recipe for chaos.

PORTLAND, Ore - Portland's deadliest month in 30 years ended on Friday night with more than 150 rounds fired in the Montavilla neighborhood.

Portland Police say 15 people were killed during the month of July, the highest number of deaths in a single month since the 1980s.

I'm pretty sure this isn't what most voters are in favor of.

...but Biden will fix it.

Why were none of those clowns in the Springs charged with brandishing?? Weapons in a low ready or similar carry are definitely threatening. Is there any da or pd with a set of balls to just say no????

It sure seems like we are losing.

"Seems" ... it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that 99% of the media is controlled by one faction, would it?

Not to mention many less serious offenses like obstructing traffic...or possibly even false imprisonment if they're not allowing someone to leave their home or other location to go somewhere else. In answer to you question about a DA willing to charge, I think you just saw your answer. They use the excuse that making arrests might agitate people and make things worse. Really? Since when did we stop arresting people because doing so might be dangerous? Oh, that's right...when the people we need to arrest are "peaceful protesters" involved in protests of politically correct agendas.

Make no mistake...this is the revolution many on our side wanted and it sure as hell isn't going the way they thought. I can guarantee you that. These people are openly talking about their objectives and goals which include "burning down the system" and fundamentally transforming America into another socialist wet dream. They don't even hide it any longer. There's no need to. Politicians on the left either support it or are too afraid to say anything that goes against their party or the agitators. The media openly supports it, condones it and does it's best to camouflage what's really happening. The cops can't do anything because in many cases they've been told to stand down by their leftist leadership. Citizens can't do anything other than scratch their heads and wonder what's going on and when will it end?

Imagine what would happen if a couple of normal, Trump-supporting citizens went out to put a stop to this nonsense (when the cops wouldn't) and things turned south. Who do you think would be blamed for the bodies laying in the street?

This is a war that no one on our side can really fight so how in the hell do you win it?

Sometimes you gotta button up and let em throw rocks. No one likes it.
