Current Events > Protesters Burn Bibles In Portland, Rip Protective Boarding Off Buildings

(+) Yeah! (+)

Left-wing activists rioted in Portland on Friday night where they burned Bibles, set fires in the street, and tore protective boarding off of buildings.
The riots had cooled off on Thursday night as federal and state officers located inside the courthouse were not forced to leave the building during the course of the night, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement.
On Friday night, rioters burned American flags and bibles in the streets outside the federal Mark O. Hatfield Courthouse in Portland.

Why anyone would think they could link to that site and be taken seriously is a mystery to me.

People in Portland were nuts before the protests. How do you convince a thousand XSquaders to come in off the street?

---

Wtf we hate freedom of speech now (jk the right always has)

Someone was giving out free bibles, what'd you think was gonna happen

Typical, low level logical fallacy. So your claim is that the protesters didnt do these things? Facts are facts regardless if its a source you dont like.

Here's a source I don't particularly like and yet:

https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-peaceful-protests-with-1000-demonstrators-forces-withdraw

The protesters themselves are asking that no fires be set and are working to put any out.

Maybe don't link to a site full of references to known right-wing liars.

The link gives it away that this is satire, but I would've believed it.

So your claim IS that these fires and damage didnt happen and that the VIDEO evidence is all made up?

WOW

No I absolutely did not say any of that. Point to where I said these things didn't happen.

Then you're simply talking in circles and using logical fallacies for no reason. The source of FACTS are irrelevant. You didn't point out anything incorrect in the article.

Imagine taking Andy Ngo this seriously.

Notice how easily you entered the world of lies just to try to pull my argument down.

You link to the site. I tell you the site is not credible. You then claim I'm saying things I'm not saying.

If you don't mind entertaining me, what is the crime with burning Bibles?

As for the "tore protective boarding off buildings", I see a video of one man removing a piece of the barricade that was put into place by the authorities. Do you have any proof that the man's intent is to vandalize the business the barricade is in front of, or perhaps his intent is against the barricade itself? Surely if the man's intent was to vandalize the arcade, there'd be footage of that, no? Hey, here's a thought. Perhaps the man in question is an employee of said arcade? We'll never know for sure, but you seem to have made up your mind already.

You see what happens when you rely on non-credible sources for your news? You don't get the entire picture, you make up the gaps, and you say you have facts when in reality you're making up the in-betweens.

Either you truly are a new user and don't quite understand how things work around here yet, or you're a previously banned user going right back on your bullshit.

So which is it?

Imagine writing all this to gaslight literal video evidence of fires in the street. Also -

Agitators trying to provoke a response from federal officers, the journalist added. Violently battering the door with kicks and using their shield as a battering ram.

I never said the fires didn't happen. That's another lie.

I countered your claim with a source that I personally don't like to use but did anyway to demonstrate that protesters were working to put out any fires that were set. I'll note that the tweets linked in that article don't have any of that footage. I wonder why not? Don't they care about reporting the facts?

I wonder why you didn't mention this at the beginning of the topic and make it a cornerstone of your argument?

Is it because, as is crystal clear in the video, the protesters patiently waited for the door to close and the authorities to leave, and then kicked and knocked against it? If their intent was to break down the door, why didn't they rush through when it was already very clearly open?

oh well I guess all the protesters should go home or to jail now and their motivation of combating injustice is bad now

Whats wrong with burning Bibles?

How am I supposed to take your criticism of an event as supposedly being dangerous seriously if that's your lead in?

You obviously dont know how lies work, or what gaslighting means. Did the article say ALL of the protesters were committing this violence? No. But your attempt to downplay illegal acts by MULTIPLE people who are associated with the protests, is literally disgusting.

Thank you for posting the video showing the protesters patiently waiting for the door to close before knocking against it in a way that's not even liable to dent the door, let alone break it down.

Why would anyone care what you take seriously when you blatantly ignore the other 2/3rds of illegal activities? Did you just stop mid sentence and pretend thats all that happened?

---

oh no they kicked the thing!
cancel protests!

Your continued desire to downplay blatant violence is no longer amusing.

But surely none of those things can be as serious as burning a bible, which is not at all serious, if the bible burning was the lead in, the most important part.

So attacking private property with force isnt violence? LOL. Lets also ignore the graffiti on the door.
