    @George-K said in When life imitates The Babylon Bee:

    have no idea of the context of that photo other than what you say it is. I have no reason to doubt it's false.
    Now, answer me this: How many buildings, police cars, dumpsters, etc were torched during that march?
    Remember the ACLU allowed the Nazis to march through Skokie, IL.
    Or are you against the "Right of the people to PEACEABLY assemble?"

    And I have no idea of the identity of the publisher of your article. (Though I might have missed it.)

    As for your other point: I get it. Boardings-up of businesses before any protester presence versus many protestors on the scene carrying live-fire torches for what I'm sure were threat-less reasons. Got it.

    What difference does it make, "how many" things were torched and so on when discussing the principle or reasonableness of one tribe's protests versus the other's?

    What's good for the goose, baby.

    Besides, the hero his ownself said there were"very fine people" among both the white supremacists and the counter-protesters.

    Well, you stepped in cat shit, didn't you?

    BTW, ever listen to what Trump actually said, rather than MSM and Biden propaganda? Trump wasn't referring to white supremacists, unless you think anybody who thinks it may be wrong to take down a statue of a Confederate is a white supremacist. If you do, you've got more problems than equating almost nonexistent right wing violence vs. weeks of left wing violence, and the satire of a Babylon Bee article.

      Cats? The Bee is a satire site. Getting upset over it is like getting upset over a Leslie Nielsen movie.

        George's header suggested the opposite, at least to me. I got that the article seemed like it came from Babylon Bee, but didn't.

          I think the fact that it was taken seriously at all is indication enough that there's a big problem out there.

                    Here's the problem...I keep reading all this horse hockey in the media or in Twitter about how crazy and violent all these Trump supporters can be.

                    Funny, I haven't read about any Trump supporters causing or participating in riots, burning buildings, etc. But I've seen plenty of violence from the Left, whom I assume are supporting Biden. And I also see indications these same idiots will riot if Trump is re-elected.

                    Go figure...

                      Nor accosting folks in restaurants or on the street.

                      I have to say if they riot over the elections I'm ok with getting tough as needed to stop rioting. You wanna protest? Fine. Riot? No. Enough already. Not over an election.

                        BTW, even the incident with the Biden bus in Texas was proven to have been instigated by a Biden campaign car...

                          I watched the videos this PM. It seems pretty obvious.

                          Hopefully the FBI will be as diligent with the DNC's request for an investigation as they have been with everything else in the last 3 years.
