Senator Rand Paul Attacked After Presidents Acceptance Speach

It doesn't look good to make racist remarks in defense
of anti-racism protesters.
I am very surprised you off all people point this out to me.
I was going to throw out cis-het, but its pretty redundant with white boy.
Noted you are making a bigger fuss out of white than boy. Which is a pretty nasty stab as well, complete with a chapter of it basically being used also in a racist way. And nothing on the privileged part (so I guess we both find stabs at elites to be ok).

Personally, I've always been offended by "white boy". I'm a white man. Rand Paul is too.

My advice is to avoid giving ammunition to those who'd
discredit the usefulness of the protests by pointing to
hypocrisy. We should be careful to avoid counter-productivity.

And thats why I aimed at Rand, for thinking he was under attack frim an angry mob when clearly that just was not the case. There was a shoving match between and protester and a cop, with the cop stumbling backwards into Rand. Thats not being attacked.

God damn what a waste of time.

You see the stubbornness. It's not much use delving into detail, when nobody wants to take it past the most basic of levels.

I thought me and @Mr Spinkles had a good exchange yesterday. I'm pretty sure we both even learned things, but that's rare.

Selective viewing. If the tables were turned you’d be screaming bloody murder, and you know it.
 
Another case of privileged folk complaining about a peaceful protest....
Protesters cause diners to flee in panic as they 'shut down' a restaurant in Rochester | Daily Mail Online
Excerpted....

'We're shutting you down': Violent BLM protesters attack stunned diners and smash up a restaurant in Rochester in shocking footage during protest over the death of Daniel Prude
  • A third night of protests took place in Rochester, New York, over the death of Daniel Prude
  • Footage on social media showed demonstrators shutting down a restaurant while residents dinned
  • It mirrored a similar incident in Washington D.C. when some protesters demanded they raise their first in solidarity for the cause
  • Authorities deployed tear gas, and reportedly pepper balls, at protesters who did not disperse at their order
  • The demonstration was declared an 'unlawful assembly' after the group marched through downtown Rochester
  • Daniel Prude, 29, died of suffocation in police custody in March, but outrage ignited when new footage was released this week
This is so wrong, misguided and tragic. Thank you for posting this.

I’m normally suspicious of a source like the DailyMail, but, the video and corroboration by other media (including WaPo) speaks for itself.

No one should condone this kind of reactionary thuggery. It’s also misguided and will, IMO, harm the legitimate objectives of the BLM movement.

As the ever quotable Joe Biden would say .,. “Come on, man!”

Thanks for this. But if I did learn something, I probably forgot already! This old brain don’t work like it used to.;)
 
Wow. Rand Paul introduces a bill to do away with no-knock raids under Breonna Taylor's name. What does this forum discuss.

Garbage.

Great job. Anyone pay attention much?

Rand Paul introduces bill to end the type of warrant involved in Breonna Taylor's death - CNNPolitics

What is this thread about? Nonsense.

Talking about a bunch of ******** shouting "Say her name" when here we have one politician attempting to do something
Your point about the protestors shouting “say her name” is an interesting - and disturbing - one.

I am reminded of the woman in DC, who herself participated in BLM marches and supports the movement, who was shouted at to raise her fist and refused to do so. Protest must not be coerced, she said. This seems obvious to me and coercion anathema to liberalism, but apparently the left-wing nuts need to re-learn this lesson.

Says the one who can't quite say where this angry mob allegedly was violent against Paul Ryan. There was a bit of a shoving match. That's not him being assaulted, it's not the angry mob swarming him to beat him up.

The term was violence and the video is full of it. We all know you’re in denial and that if the tables were reversed you’d be screaming bloody hell.

You have failed several times to describe this violence or when it occurs and now you jump to claiming I'd be doing the same of the tables were turned. If the video was really "full of violence" this should be so easy to do, to describe what happens and when. But you don't, because you can't.

You've only said violence comes in many forms. It does. Im not denying that. I'm denying you have described this violence that allegedly saturates the video.
Each and every minute of the video had violence. If the tables were turned you’d be throwing a fit. You e had multiple opportunities to deny that but haven’t. Because it’s TRUE. If the shoe fits....

I wonder....
If Rand Paul was not "attacked" (according to the left),
then how is it that Biden was "attacked" when some
Trump campaign worker referred to a cemetery visit
as "meandering"?
