I'm astonished at how people who should know better are getting worked up about the "mass protests" on US streets at present. They're not "mass" protests at all - just very vocal, very noisy, and sometimes very violent. Multiple news reports about the Portland riots, which are currently the most violent that the media is covering, indicate that there are about 2,000 protesters on the street every night - many of them from elsewhere, as is Antifa's and BLM's habit. 2,000 protesters, out of an estimated Portland population (according to Wikipedia) of 654,741 in 2019, equates to 0.3% of the city's residents. That's less than one-third of one percent. Hardly a "mass" protest, is it? I'm pretty sure similar proportions apply to most other cities plagued with mob violence at present.
There's also the physical area covered by the riots and protests. I understand that in Portland, it's no more than ten city blocks - rather less than one square mile - and usually less than that. The city covers a land area of 133.42 square miles, making the "protest area", once again, a lot less than 1% of the total. So much for "big".

Look, the commies have never been about reality. They are about the appearance of reality. The "left" has had control of the majority of the media for decades. Being the "left", they are not interested in the truth but in framing what the "truth" is. Look at how the Wuhan Cooties is being handled. It was originally presented as the harbinger of the end of the world. And they still treat it that way, even though there is a 99% survival rate. And now Trump has been forced to promote mask wearing and social distancing. Why? Because too many people, especially females, do not stop to think about how the appearance of authority has been corrupted by whores that will sell their mother for fame and wealth. No, until some BLM and Antifa rioters are picked off by snipers, and until politicians are tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail, it's just going to get worse. America is not the home of the free and the brave. It is the home of the enslaved, the timid, and the brainwashed..
ReplyDeleteShoot the politicians and dip the blm and antifa into tar. That will make more sense.
DeleteSo if only 0.3%, and of that, say 0.1%, is not residents, That could be something like 99.8%
ReplyDeleteOf Portland's residents are putting up with this small group running their city.
We have definitely turned into a nation of hot house pansies.
I'm too freaking old. They need come in range of my rocker.
I am usually against creating new laws but... It should be a federal felony to go to another state to cause/participate/engage in riots/protests with a minimum 10 year sentence!
ReplyDeleteI think at the very least, they should arrest them on what laws already exist, and then deny them bail. Declare them a flight risk since they are from out of town. Having to sit in a city or county jail for months waiting for their court date would do wonders for them.
DeleteHey T Town;
DeleteThe problem is that the candyasses in the cities let them go rather than charge them, the "catch and release" that Portland and Seattle practice enables the little shits.
Bullshit! You KILL commies. End of story.
DeleteIt's called crossing a state line to commit a crime. It's a federal infraction.
DeleteThe size and magnitude of these events....as reported.....is not based on reality but on the AGENDA of the commie demonrats and their media whore accomplices.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that the rioters, looters, murders, anarchists of late, are indeed a very small percentage of the population is for some reason missed or overlooked by many Americans. These Marxist think they are "boring with a big auger" too. When these asshats finally piss the people "who just want to be left alone" off to the point where they do get involved, the instigators and those on the sidelines will realize just how few there are or should I say were. I hope it is sooner than later.
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S WHAT BEEN SAYIN!! for months. doom n gloomers yelling "the world is ending" and "u.s. falling apart" are full of crap. a few thousand out of 320 MILLION people, a few hundred more in D.C. can not tear the country apart unless we let them. we outnumber them, we outgun them, we outfight them, we outproduce them, we out everything them. all is NOT lost.
ReplyDeleteNO SHIT!! But most whites don't want to have to "kill" anyone. They all believe the Unicorn Farts will cure everything. KAREN won't allow violence.
DeleteHere's the truth: We need to take our kids out of gov schools and home school them. All commies need to be rounded up and put on a death list. Any politician who speaks against us needs to be picked up and confined. All Blacks need to be shown their "place" and confined to it. ALL wetbacks need to be rounded up and sent to Uganda. This isn't going to be easy. But I will not live under communism. WILL YOU?
It is not the number that matters so much .. it's the who they are ... what they are trying to do and the fact that they are not being stopped. This is not a small thing and it can metastasize if not 'treated' soon.
ReplyDeleteShoot as many as you can....frag the rest....stop this bullshit onece and for all....
ReplyDeleteTar and feather the perpetrators and ride them out of town on a rail. That'll fix it!
ReplyDeleteMy wallet is empty, my bank account is drained.
ReplyDeleteI cannot afford to jail anybody.
After the jurors say 'guilty' -- thieving, raping, murder, drugging, molesting, crooked bureaucrats (looking at you, Clintons and the O'Bama Crime Family) (some overlap) -- the walk to the closest set of gallows should take about one minute.
I live 20ish miles from Portland across the river in Washington and if you dont watch the news you wouldnt even know this shit is going on.
