Anathema For Peaceful Protests

[deleted15807]

^ I just support those that do support violence (Trump, the police, etc). Contract out the dirty work. Keep your hands clean. And I support guns for everyone!

The president let loose roughly 90 tweets and retweets attacking Democratic officials and defending aggressive actions by his supporters in Portland.

Trump unleashes barrage of tweets in response to Portland violence, says ‘big backlash’ to protests ‘cannot be unexpected’

He missed this as well as Biden has indeed spoken out against the lawlessness and violence:

Biden Condemns Both Racism and Violence Because He Isn’t Crazy
August 26, 2020 Article Excerpt:
Perhaps the most central theme of the Republican convention has been to tie Joe Biden to violent protesters. The point has been made not only by Donald Trump’s most unhinged and/or directly related speakers but also by supposedly responsible figures like Nikki Haley (“it’s so tragic to see so much of the Democratic Party turning a blind eye towards riots and rage.”)

But Biden has unambiguously denounced violent protests and looting. His campaign did it through an official statement yesterday. Biden did it again today in a video, combining clear denunciations of police brutality and the shooting of Jacob Blake with a call for constructive, nonviolent protest:

The Biden campaign's @SymoneDSanders
in response to the unrest in Wisconsin following the shooting of Jacob Blake: “Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not.”

Joe Biden was vice president for 8 years. During all that time, American cities didn't burn, peace on the streets, there was no new recession, unemployment fell, deficits fell, crime fell, the government was prepared for a global pandemic.

During Trump's presidency, the cities are burning, fighting in the streets, we have the worst recession and unemployment in 8 decades, record deficits, rising crime, and the worst response to the Covid-19 pandemic in the world.

You want the cities not to burn again? Vote for Biden and the fires, real and figurative, will end. Immediately.

The violence started over three months ago, all during the “peaceful protests.” In Portland. In Seattle. In Atlanta. In Chicago. In New York. Try a new narrative. Those mayors and governors allowed the violence to escalate due to their inaction and complicity.

And I do not support any violence.

Do you support vigilantes with weapons patrolling the streets?
Or he police supporting vigilantes in their activities?

No I don’t. Did you not read my statement? I don’t qualify, as so many here do on a regular basis to fit their narrative.

Do you support the violence of the non-peaceful protesters? Those looting, and those committing violence against the police?

Yes I read your statement and it didn't mention anything to do with vigilantes. You wrote that you don't support violence. I just wondered if you support vigilante patrols. Violent or not, just to clarify.

I don't support violence by anyone. Protesters, counter-protesters, police, doesn't matter who.

I also don't support rhetoric encouraging violent protest by anyone. I think it is especially risky when civic leaders, such as the President of the United States, engage in rhetoric which gives any kind of cover, excuse, or justification for violence. I'm thinking about "very good people on both sides", or "Liberate Michigan" and so on. It's very irresponsible on his part and his supporters are complicit in those statements and in the results.

Their are individuals and groups in the U.S. who have been arming themselves, training, and advocating armed insurrection for decades. They are locked and loaded and ready to impose their ideology on their imagined enemies of the state. Any kind of cover given them by higher authorities is dangerous and anti-American.

If you vote for Donald, you support his violent rhetoric and no amount of denial is gonna change that. Words matter.

There it is. They completely ignore his calls to violence. He's been pushing violence since he strode down from his tacky gold palace in 2015 to announce his candidacy while bashing Mexicans as murderers and rapists.

Trump’s History of Encouraging Violence

 

[Industrialsize]

You’re still talking about Hillary? Dude, news alert. She lost. She’s irrelevant.

As for Biden, he and the “peaceful protesters” and the looting and the violence and the lawlessness and the decisions of the Democratic mayors and governors are aligned with him. Biden has been relatively silent on these major issues, just as you criticize trump for being similarly silent, or to blame, on other issues. You don’t get to have it both ways.

^ Glad Joe finally got on board. His advisors are catching up. The last sentence shows the real intent of his motivation.

 

[JulieInNaplesFL]

Didn’t look injured? Hmmm. That clearly ignores the fear one feels for their life (and his wife’s, btw) in that moment. How dismissive of you. Glad you get to decide how one feels in that moment.

LOATHED makes it alright? Because one is loathed, it’s alright to attack them? All in the name of the cause, eh? That’s the world that many fear. Being told how they feel. How to think. You’ve just proved my point.

Better watch who your disagreeing with. Could cause a hellstorm to come at you. Llololololololololol.

He had to come out with that as his polls were going into the shitter. But it didn't help him any.

Better late that never. At least he woke up from his nappy just in time for his 4PM dinner. Lolololololololololol.

You'll have to explain that one to me. How does the last sentence show the intent of his motivation? Not being snarky, I just don't get it.

As far as I know, his intent is to win the election and what's wrong with that? It happens quadrennially.

Personally, the message would have been more genuine and resonated had he left that out. By adding it, it comes across more of a swipe at Trump, hence political, and less about being sincere about the messaging. The “Statement by Vice President Joe Biden on the deadly violence in Portland” is disingenuous.

It is Trump who needs to catch up with Biden by doing a 180 in order to reverse his belligerent, divisive, destructive course. From the break, in June 2020, Joe Biden has consistently called for peace, justice and denounced riotous behavior:

https://nypost.com/2020/06/02/joe-biden-delivers-in-person-remarks-on-george-floyd-protests/

Quote=Biden "George Floyd’s murder as “a wake-up call for our nation. For all of us.”
Biden continued by offering praise and understanding toward peaceful protesters, but cautioning that there “is no place for violence.”
The Democratic presidential candidate added that he sees “no place for looting or destroying property or burning churches, or destroying businesses — many of them built by people of color who for the first time were beginning to realize their dreams and build wealth for their families.”

What are you talking about? The whole statement was a political swipe at Trump. He specifically swiped at Trump by name in the 2nd. the 3rd, and the 5th paragraphs. Did you read the whole thing?
You do know there is an election on, right? Swiping is what politicians do.

And I do not support any violence.

All of the violence is during and a result of the worst Presidential leadership in our nations history.

If Donald Trump was a contestant on a reality show he'd be fired for his failure to lead.
