OR if you say you don't blame the party guilty of a terrorist plot you get assumed to be in support of them

That's not exactly a weird logical leap to make, bro.

If this was a riot thread, and I said "I don't really blame them for torching that police department," your first thought would not be "I bet he condemns those crimes," and you know it

No, my first thought would be to ask you point blank if you had an issue with them torching that police department, since your comment isn't clear. Then I'd go from there based on your response. Instead of just assuming you're on the "other" team.

Can you find them that all go directly in eth face of all recommendations? Because those instances are few and far between. Can you also find where the tyrant tries to use other laws to keep their power after it has been stripped? Because that's even more rare.

"oh well that's what she gets" would be having a certified meltdown if a bunch of antifa retards did this to a republican governor.
I wouldn't give a single solitary frick if it happened to any politician in office right now. They are all crooks, wouldn't be in the position they're in if they weren't, and there is no political solution.

Not really. I tend to always ask point blank yes or no questions to pin people down on a position. I've done it in this very thread. Just as I've responded every time Obtuse1 asked me a point blank yes or no question instead of trying to weasel out of it.

Yes. Just like I said earlier I don't blame a father for trying to beat the shite out of the guy who messed with his daughter, even though I disagree with him doing it.

Some people get pushed to a breaking point. You don't have to agree with what they did to understand why they did it.


So is it fair to say that you feel you can condemn bad actions and still not blame one for trying to right perceived wrong even though you think the action is disagreeable?

like I said, I can find plenty of examples of government officials abusing their power

and thus, the problem with you stance in this thread, is that you have hitched yourself to a very subjective position, in which you will have to support almost all government protests, riots, violence in the future

and thats fine

but my point is that this is a very subjective line here and someone can argue that abortion laws or gun laws or other laws are actively ruining their lives


Yes, that's a good point. And there have been people crazy enough to bomb abortion clinics or use extreme tactics regarding gun laws. There are crazy people on both sides of the aisle. And those people are ticking time bombs, just waiting to go off. I think in this case, people were pushed over edge because of what they considered an abuse of power. A new group of time bombs were created because of this that didn't exist before.

Yes, and to cut your "gotcha" off at the pass, this can also apply to the members of BLM who truly believe in the need to address police actions and aren't in it just for the looting/burning as an excuse to loot/burn. I don't agree with what they're doing, but I understand why they would do it.

Vote them out of office and elect people that align with your viewpoints.

Our system, while not perfect, is better than having elected officials facing harm or credible threat of harm due to policy.

I mean, you can't follow a topic and stay on it. I'm not too concerned with what you think I know.
