Do you know what your problem is Bob, you've failed to convince me that you and the liberals above you who are in charge of the mess that we are seeing right now actually care about the lives of black people who are living with and dying from the violence. At least I'm open about it but then again I don't view their lives as my responsibility or the party that I support these days.

So, who is funding Antifa and who is coordinating their efforts and supplying them with all  the primate weapons these days? So, what is the American right supposed to do when it finds out that Democrats are in bed with those who are causing so much trouble for so during a national crisis for so many Americans and immigrants whose liberal ideology (live and let live) or religious beliefs or natural traits restricts them or prevents them from dealing with  violence/violent people.

Antifa is not causing violence. Trump is. I don't know what the American right can do about its fantasies.

There has been a spike in violent crime on some days in some places. Trump doesn't have the sense to deal with it. So we'll see what Biden can do, if anything. He is not in favor of defunding the police and allowing violent crime. Local authorities are primarily responsible for controlling crime, reforming police and improving social and economic conditions. I would like to see them get more proactive in this, and to get help from a new president and congress.

Is Trump trying to destroy the federal court in Seattle or Antifa? How liberal or stupid do you have to be to use that ploy or go for that ploy? You better get your shit straight and figure out a way to be smart because you're going to have to explain you're support of it to America or at least your candidate is going to have try to anyway because America is paying for it. So, did you support the Irish Catholic, the Marxist Jew and Latino or one of the two ex prosecutors/ex city/county bureaucrats or the gay or the black dude or the uppity liberal white woman with the high cheek bones that's I'm sure still represent something of value to some of the democratic population or Democratic electorate today.

Throwing a firecracker or writing graffiti does not destroy a building. Trump and his followers like you have the favorite tactic of using a slogan to apply to a whole group. So, prove to me that "antifa" threw that firework. Can you do that? Trump has provoked whoever did those things to start knocking down the door. But they can't destroy the building. But Trump can destroy our republic by deploying unidentified troops to pick peaceful protesters and bystanders off the street and put them in jail.

Martin Luther King Jr. would have been there with the protesters. My brother is a former Oregon official and lives in Portland so maybe he'll have some info on what's going on. Meanwhile, it would be wise for us all to go to this site and see the entire context of Dr. King's iconic final speech in Memphis, and remember what he said so powerfully, "The greatness of America is the right to protest FOR right!"

Somehow Classic Xer has forgotten what the TRUE greatness of America is.

There is audio posted here of longer excerpts from the speech. I'm not sure how to post an mp3 here. But King went there to support striking workers, many but not all black, and led a march there on March 28, 1968. Some looters and militants went off by themselves and started breaking windows. King was persuaded to turn the march around, because he did not want to be seen leading a violent march. 

But he vowed to come back and prove he could lead a non-violent march there. But the national guard was there the next day, and an injunction was ordered to prevent King's next march. His assistant Andrew Young went to court and got the injunction overturned on April 3, and King went to a large hall to rally his followers to join his planned march. In his speech, he recounted how he and his followers had won in Birmingham Alabama in spite of having dogs and water hoses turned on them by the sheriff, singing "we will not be turned around" and remaining non-violent. "We know water," he said, but "we will look above it and see the freedom in the air." Pete Townshend later echoed this iconic sixties phrase in his momentous song "Let's See Action," one of my favorites.

Two shorter parts from these same two excerpts of this final speech are heard in this youtube video. Ironically, an ad for Trump who is now taking away our right to protest comes on before Dr. King.





And you can hear longer audio clips of these two excerpts at the site linked above.

Yep. That's about all they can do right now. So, where is the deadbeat Liberal governor and the Washington national guard? Dude, you basically lack the character of MLK and using him for your own benefit makes you look like shit. If you need to latch on to someone black, latch on to a racist black piece of shit wearing a fancy suit like Al Sharpton or Louise Farrakhan. Yes. They're just a couple of dumb blacks but that's no longer a  viable excuse these days.

The National Guard was not needed to stop a few youths from throwing a firework or painting graffiti. That's all they were doing until Trump's goons showed up.

There's no-one better to quote than MLK. Disregarding what he says makes you look like.....
because you have forgotten what the true greatness of America IS.
