Federal troops in Portland

And no I don’t read brietbart, Lol.
That is not where I got the info from. AP FACT CHECK: Trump overstates his influence on drug prices. Yeah brand name drugs went up but generic ones went down
And
2 days ago this, which looks really good because it will prevent doctors from getting kick backs from pharmaceutical companies, and you won’t have to get the brand name the doctor recommends
Trump Administration Announces Historic Action to Lower Drug Prices for Americans

Where do you get the Info they went up?

The republican mayors never stopped their police and the destruction has been minimal.



apparently being peaceful is smashing the window of a Miami cop police car?


.

 

Sadly I’ve only had time to attend two rallies, and out of those two only one turned violent.

Just like in Oakland yesterday there was a peaceful protest for most of the day, then suddenly a small group (likely trump supporters being paid to stir up trouble) broke-off from the main body and began
setting fire (in this case) to the Alameda County Superior Courthouse

 

IMO as long as the action does not cause life threatening bodily harm its peaceful.

For the most part everyone is still playing by the rules. Rocks and bottles vs tear gas and rubber bullets and of course vandalism to the property of the government and police state.

It really is the civilized way to do things as opposed to open warfare and brutal terrorism we see in other parts of the world.

Maybe peaceful is the wrong word but IMO we are doing this conflict in the most civilized way possible.

 

Obama's sole contribution was to be African-American, which shouldn't be held against him. Trump and the racists took over and did the rest.He won because more than any other President in history he used race, religion and ethnicity to divide us, beginning with his Birtherism and his grand descent down that escalator spouting trash about Mexican rapists.

Donald Trump’s long history of racism, from the 1970s to 2020

Yes. As usual, much ado about nothing. "Health policy experts say they will likely offer patients only minimal relief and may take months to implement, if they're implemented at all....Overall, the ideas embodied in the executive orders aren't new and aren't as meaningful as the White House lets on, says Ameet Sarpatwari, assistant director of Harvard Medical School's Program on Regulation, Therapeutics and Law."Clearly what this speaks of is a bit of desperation as to the president's sinking in the polls and needing to show that he is doing something about a campaign commitment from four years ago on which there hasn't really been much action. "
Trump Signs Executive Orders On Drug Prices

Yeah. Playing multiple rounds of golf while the Covid19 situation gets worse.

Trump Golf Count
Historians may answer the question Did Nero fiddle more while Rome burned than Trump fiddled around on the golf course while the U.SA.went to hell.

You ask "how are republican cities doing during these riots?" Doing in what respect, what "riots" are you talking about. and what do you mean by a republican city? Do you mean one in which the city government is controlled by members of the Republican Party--like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Baton Rouge, little Rock, Dayton, Jackson, Indianapolis, Virginia Beach, Colorado Springs, Miami, and Anaheim.South Bend,, etc. Well, looks like they've experiencing a surge in homicide rates like the Democrat-run cities. Some have higher homicide rates than Chicago. Homicide Rates Are Spiking in Major Cities Run by Both Democrats And Republicans Too bad Trump is only talking about sending his stormtroopers to the Democratic cities. An increase in violent crime has occurred in just the past two years. Major Cities Chiefs Association Executive Director Darrell Stephens thinks its too early to know whether increases seen over the last two years are mere blips or the beginning of a sustained increase in overall crime rates around the country. He notes: "It’s not anywhere near the kind of violence that we had in the 1990s.” Violent Crime Is On the Rise in U.S. Cities Crime overall has declined during the pandemic, but shootings are up. Crime Has Declined Overall During The Pandemic, But Shootings And Killings Are Up Too many guns! But that's not a message Republicans want to hear.

Hmmmmmmm is right. Your statement is nonsense. The phrase "Crimes Against Humanity" pertains to certain violations of international customary law committed pursuant to a deliberate systematic or widespread attack on a civilian populations or significant portion thereof. United Nations Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect We're talking here about things like genocide. Bad as you think it might be getting in cities that have democrat mayors, nobody in his/her right mind would accuse them of that. Crimes against humanity aren't happening anywhere in the United States at the moment.

 

Wow these protests are so different then all I have seen in my lifetime.

I remember the LA riots just chaotic anger destroy everything in sight. Young but stayed up all night watching that on channel 4 news chopper.

Last go around Eric Garner killed for cigarette taxes the protests were hot then fizzled.

I am going to risk and make "racist" comment. Those bitches are not just fighting disadvantaged colored minorities anymore.

Its different this time they got to deal with us white devils who are also sick of this oppressive system.

I got a DMV court case going on over shit 10 years ago they threw back in my face. Retroactively. Years after I paid all my dues. Think i give a fuck they burned that courthouse ? Where the snakes hang out.

Oh well, playing internet you can get the illusion the whole country is rebelling when its just a few cities, a few thousand protesters and a few good strikes.

But what ever Trump can take his boot lickjing "law and order" and stick it up his ass.

I liked him as a president but darn bootlicking is that stinky turd floating in the punch.

 

The LA Riots now those were the days.


I was a teenager at the time and I’d run over to my friend’s house after school, and glue ourselves to the TV set for a night of looting and burning.


Btw I was sickened by the Attack on Reginald Denny by the L.A. Four. Apparently he’s still messed up even today.

 

he's insecure

and I guess you're a stable genius.

 

Ah I see, so as long as there's no "bodily harm," it's a peaceful protest. Even if windows get smashed, cars and corner stores get set ablaze, and people lose much of their property from looting.... It's still peaceful as long as nobody gets hurt

Pass me what you're smoking plz

 

It's quite astounding to read what atrocities many people on this board are defending during these horrible times.

 

Aaaaaaannnnd you've got nadda. Typical.

 

This is what propaganda looks like

 

Shake my head

Who do you think is seriously going to believe that shit?

 

The peacefulness intensified

Oh FFS

 

What the hell is going on?, how do the Mayor of Portland and the State Governor let this go on for 2 months for crying out loud

Libtards

 

Ok I have been saying that the bigger the population the higher the crime rate by ethnicity will effect the national average . Been saying that for a long time. If large cities are responsible for, let’s say 70 percent of the crime in the entire country... and let’s say we look at Detroit.
Detroit is 12.3 percent white and 81.6 percent black or African American. Is the arrest of black peoples in that city disproportionate?

New York City. Over 35 percent are immigrants.
White 42.7% (which is an array of different cultures)
Hispanic or Latino account for
29.1%
Black or African American
24.3%
are arrests truly disproportionate?

Los Angeles
Hispanic or Latino 47.5
White 29.4
Asian 10.7%
Black or African American 9.8%

are the arrests disproportionate?

then Blm lumps people of colour into one box. Hispanic, Asian, black, African American, etc VS white.. Which I do not think this paints an accurate picture. so is it disproportionate? Their website at one time said their were more black people in prison with a number, which was more than the actual number of the total prison population at one point. For pointing this out I was called racist as well.

homelessness as well. People say there is not enough housing. what percentage of homelessness is because of addiction? Is the reason for homelessness not enough housing or is it because of addiction? A large part of it is addiction, not a housing shortage, that addiction could be related to mental illness As well and self medicating.
would rather have their drug than put their money into a roof. Would rather feed their addiction than have to go to work. Will steal And rob to feed it as well.

San Francisco has a high homeless population and needles on the street are everywhere. Housing crisis... people shitting on the street. But it is a housing crisis not an addiction issue for the most part? Over 17000 homeless in San Francisco. 17000 shitting and pissing on the street. so let’s put a roof of their heads and hide the problem in a room.

I have been called racist for stating this by the way.

 

Homelessness and Addiction - Addiction Center

further more, I posted the data before... and the numbers I gave for those cities are accurate... do I have to link everything? I really do research all my numbers

 

I love the Northwest and its people!
