Lessons to be learned from the Kavanaugh Hearing

[varwoche]

Yeah because you think for some reason one side has more rights than the other. Sorry, it doesnt work that way. Those "protesters" have NO RIGHT to detain anyone. They have NO RIGHT to block the street. They have NO RIGHT to harass or vandalize peoples property. Yet you defend them.

Meanwhile, the innocent people coming home from work are just trying to get along with their lives. But for some reason you think "protesters" have the right to mess with these people, or detain them. People are going to start getting sued for this. Also, more people will die.

A police officer cannot illegally detain a citizen. What makes you think its fine for protesters.

The left mob is out of control, and if the moderates on the left do not speak out against it and stop it -- you will see the same tactics from the hard right. Will it be only then that the left speaks out against this guerrilla warfare tactic?

If this keeps up, I will not be against a civil war to clean up the mess this has become. Leftist: keep thinking its fine to mess with people. See what happens.

This may as well have been written by one of those "very fine people".

Also ... "no right to detain"!?! The degree to which your posts are removed from reality is notable, here in a medium where we're all inured to garden variety bull ****.

You appear to be unfamiliar with traffic laws in the United States. Pedestrians at an intersection with a walk symbol always have the right of way.

Do you similarly run red lights in your car because those evil meanies going through when they have a green light are detaining you?

Remain blind, it's fine.
"very fine people" come in all races.

The pure-evil act here is too over-the-top. Even cartoon villains and Bond villains aren't this cartoon/Bond-villainish.

Speaking of which...

Not as good as it could have been, but I have soft spot for that meme. Thanks for sharing.

 

[wareyin]

Remain blind, it's fine.

How is being aware that pedestrians at a crosswalk with a walk symbol by law have the right of way being blind?

Apologies if you think you gave some sort of information in your video links, but I don't do argument by YouTube. You'll have to actually state your claim if you'd like a response.

How do you feel about meta?

Interesting that the term “mob” seems to be appearing with some frequency from the lips and fingers of the Rs. Reminds me of the prominent use of “thug” not too long ago.

Well, if a Hollywood actor isn't a political expert with deep understanding of conspiratorial spending by billionaires, I'm sure I don't know who is.

You've convinced me! Finally, an appeal to a legitimate authority!

 

[quadraginta]

This business about how it's just fine to murder lefties but lefties are the real violent ones convinces me that our resident "conservatives" or whatever they might call themselves are not being serious and saying what they actually think. They're just trying whatever they think will rile people up the most, and honestly presenting alternatives for debate & consideration on policy issues just doesn't do it enough, so they have to go for the pure-evil, obviously-psychotic angle for more expected shock value. For me, that move from real ideas that real people really think to overdone attempted theatrics is just a move from at least potentially interesting to boring.

I don't think they are making any conscious choice or effort.

It's just their own nature, which is less restrained in the Trump era.

I actually am laughing out loud from just the opening screen shot, but unwilling to watch it.

The premise is most of the joke on that one, so you're not missing too much.

Again, the degree to which conservatives self-own these days is *kisses fingers* fantastique.

Antifascism is the new fascism. You heard it here first.

Thanks for the laugh! As if Antifa is aligned with Democrats. Thanks for pointing out what a paranoid whackjob James Woods is.

When a country calls itself a democratic people's republic, you just *know* it's a legit democracy.

-- James Woods (Oct 10, 2018)

You have evidence of this claim? May we see some wire transfers, bank drafts, financial disclosure statements tracking money from Soros to ANTIFA. James Woods is hardly a credible source being a notorious Trump supporter and traitor to his country. You'd think an actor would be less attached to the enemy of free expression.

Treason, just what you'd expect from a Trump supporter.

 

[Craig4]

Look at BOTH videos. In the first one (which started this discussion) he can clearly be seen to be driving deliberately, albeit slowly, through the protesters. There's a guy hanging off the front of the car. HIS ACTIONS ARE ILLEGAL.

The second video that River posted is from another angle and you can't see the guy draped across the hood of the car. But you can clearly see the walk light in favor of the pedestrians.

Minor infraction for taking vigilante action, but they weren't out to "get him" in spite of the lying headlines and comments in the video River linked to. They were chasing him down to get pictures of him and if he was actually in fear why did he stop his car and get out? Seems to be idiots on both sides. They shouldn't have hit his car with whatever those sticks were. He shouldn't have driven his car illegally through pedestrians (in the guise of protesters).

The driver and the protestors should all have been arrested. The driver clearly drove through pedestrians in a crosswalk. Even if the protestors didn't have the light, you're not allowed to use deadly force because you're being inconvenienced. That said, after he was through the crosswalk, the protestors had no right to attack his car while he posed no threat.

"Antifa" are not anti-fascist. They're only against non-communist fascists. Or any non-communists, really.

 

[Lambchops]

Lol, because all Antifa are communists. All those anarchists, social democrats, and various other non-communists in Antifa are really just closet-pinkos, right?

You have no idea what you are talking about.

To quote our very own TBD; "Fantastic!"
