Yes, absolutely. You got it 100% correct.
Imma be real, I mainly just skimmed this. Because supporting Trump means you get to claim the moral highground on exactly zero of these points of contention.
"Tell me who to heil." I dunno, the guy tear gassing peaceful protestors and trying to fire judges investigating the rampant corruption within his administration probably wants you to do that.
But no, the drum circle hippies, they're the real threat here.

I like how the protesters peacefully threw bricks rocks and other debris at cops. tear gas should be the least of their worries.
Remember if the cops fight back it's because all cops are racist.
Also burning cars.
Looting and smashing stores, including Mom and Pop businesses, not just big business chains like Macy's.
shooting federal officers.

Oh and black cops as well are getting shot.Question for anyone supporting the protesters. If a black cop gets shot and killed, will there be a protest for them?Dorn's death came on a violent night in St. Louis, where four officers were shot, officers were pelted with rocks and fireworks, and 55 businesses were burglarized or damaged, including a convenience store that burned.
Also, do you know why the police and ambulance took so long to get to the shooting inside Chop?
Armed mobs obstructing the police from entering and as per protocol, medical staff won't go through the zone until the area is clear.

A small percentage? I doubt half of the "protesters" even know or care about who George Floyd was. His family even went on the air and asked everyone to stop protesting.
From the article.
I dont agree with the photo op, but denying that there is a potential threat of violence to the president is full blown insanity. Tear gas is often used by police because when violent mobs are hurling bricks, bottles and harmful substances at you it is one of the most effective way to get them to stop.Protests, some of them violent, had occurred around the church on previous nights, and the church was briefly in danger on Sunday after a fire started in the church basement.

That you think the protests are exclusively about George Floyd shows that you really have a poor understanding of... everything going on, really.
But he still did it.I dont agree with the photo op,
How many "I don't support what Trump did BUTs..." do people have to have before they decide that maybe Trump isn't worth supporting at all?
Is this the Trumpkin way? To cite some article that they have some vague notion might support their argument, hope that the person doesn't read it, and then chalk that up as "a win?"but denying that there is a potential threat of violence to the president is full blown insanity.

Because you picked the wrong fucker to try and cloy with in that regard. I once argued the economic solvency of soybean farmers vis-a-vis the price per acre earnings of soybeans and how much it would take for them to plausibly afford a combine with which to harvest the soybeans. And that wasn't for some college agrarian studies course or somesuch, it was in some pissant thread on these forums.
The article is literally titled "Peaceful Protestors Tear-Gassed." As in... they were not violent, they were not hurling bricks, bottles or harmful substances. There was nothing for the tear gas to STOP, other than people professing their disdain for Trump. Absolutely NOTHING in that article supports an iota of what you asserted. In fact, it almost squarely refutes it.
And I don't really care if you do go on to find some stinted right-wing article that maybe tangentially supports that Trump was "plausibly in danger from a certain point of view." I want to know why you posted THAT article that directly counteracts your own claim.
As more of an aside, I hope you aren't a religious man or think that Trump represents some sort of idealization of Christian values, because BOY do the church officials in that article have some scathing words about Trump's conduct.

The current protests are about George Floyd in much the same manner that the Civil Rights Movement in the '50s and '60s was about Rosa Parks.
People confuse the match that lit the bonfire for the giant pile of wood that's what's burning. That's what kicked things off, but it's not why the fire's getting so hot, so fast.
We could also point out that if, instead of peaceful protesters, it was armed insurgents in a battlefield, firing machineguns and mortars at American troops, those troops would not be allowed to use tear gas on them. Because chemical weapons are considered so atrocious and inhumane that their use is forbidden by international treaty.The article is literally titled "Peaceful Protestors Tear-Gassed."

Using them on citizens, however, turns out to be a loophole.
Teargas is a big fuckin' deal, and its use should be considered a human rights violation. Even if they were throwing bricks at the President. Which, to be clear, they weren't.

I mean sure, but that's not always the case. Is it the case of immigrants who choose to move to the west? I know plenty of people who've moved to Canada from places like the Middle East, Asia and Africa. A lot of them congregate, but not all of them. I don't think racism is always the factor unless you are talking about low income areas. I think a lot of it also has to do with cultural similarities and language. I know of an area that is heavily populated with Syrian and Lebanese people not far from me. Many of them run their own businesses and aren't in poverty, so I don't think it's systemic racism that keeps them sticking together for the most part.
Kudos for the police for exploiting the stupidity of the far left then. You know it is a trap to put you in political disadvantageous position and you still go along with it. Now thats classic NPC behavior.
For some reason people actually like the status quo or simply do not like your ridiculous ideology. We will not be forced to like you. And throwing temper tantrums how we are just puppets will not change our minds.

Oh i had a good laugh at this one. There is no chance in hell that the left is ever going to find the backbone to criticize other races than their own for racism.
Simpletons? most people are not poltically invested. So if you didnt get through to these people then its your fault not theirs. You know the goverment is going to use the protests against you .But the whole smear campaign depended on BLM staging protests and BLM knew this and BLM STILL SHOWED UP despite knowing that the goverment is laying a trap for BLM. Fucking bravo . The only simpletons here then are BLM movement. And people this stupid i cannot take seriously.
