The MSM's selective approval of violence: It's commendable for Antifa TO BE VIOLENT to stop citizens WITH A PERMIT protesting a statue being removed, but it is outrageous for citizens to investigate (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Commoner

child sex rings, because in their minds (so it must be true), the citizens ENCOURAGE VIOLENCE.

For example, NYT story on the Comet Ping Pong Shooter.

“What happened today demonstrates that promoting false and reckless conspiracy theories comes with consequences,” he said. “I hope that those involved in fanning these flames will take a moment to contemplate what happened here today and stop promoting these falsehoods right away.”

compared to this

It is time, Connolly argues, to stop fighting white supremacy with liberalism—battling scissors with more paper. "We would do well," he concludes, "to wise up and start throwing rock—public denunciations of white supremacy, clear anti-racist institution building, and fighting for policies that undo the money made off racism, especially with an ancient hatred now standing unhooded."

The hypocrisy is palpable. Either you stand up for freedom of speech where it does not impinge on other's rights or you don't. Violence should be condemned and not encouraged no matter how much you hate the speech of others.

Peaceful Protests Say So Much More Than Violence. After the Mayhem the original cause is mostly forgotten and the news becomes more about the slaughter and violence. Nothing is accomplished except further division of the groups. That is their goal.

Gammi ago

Peaceful Protest yes, but the problem is the Soros left will bring in their agitators disguised as peaceful protesters and, the leftest media will turn it into a violent protest on every channel.

Gammi ago

Good article bopper, Thanks, not surprised, that is what Soros does well and, the media is more then happy to assist in making legit groups look like crazed Nazi's....especially anyone who does not worship Hillary and her minions.

carmencita ago

Thank you for that link. I have been hoping someone would find a company or info about these bad actors. They even provide Flash Mobs? WTH is that? The end of the article says something like this: if your cause is worthy of protest then why do you need to pay $25 per hour? Exactly.

Gammi ago

Flash Mobs are people who go into stores like malls, convenience stores etc, and fill their pockets, bags, etc with goods as fast as they can and, leave in a flash without paying for it....most are teenagers to young adults.

I agree with this as I've seen it with my own eyes, however, "Flash Mob" has another less nefarious meaning where people get together all at once and do a synchronized dance without telling other people in the mall/area.

AssFaceSandwich2 ago

But being connected to this shitty group, anything is in the air. They should be contacted to ask what flash mobs they have done, if any.

carmencita ago

I know, I thought that was shocking, but that is what it said in the Zero Hedge article. So what is "Crowds on Demand?" According to their own website, they're in the business of sourcing large crowds of people to "provide clients with protests, rallies, [and] flash-mobs" all over the country. They even have an entire page on their website dedicated to "Protests and Rallies." This is horrible if that is true. Flash Mobs? Really.

Gammi ago

It is probably a Sorus funded group, also if you google flash mobs attack clothing store I am sure the articles are still on the internet, several of them caught on security cameras, there were several last year shown on the news.

carmencita ago

PS: We should send this to all our friends on both sides of the aisle. They need to know who is behind this.

carmencita ago

Yes I know what they are, I am trying to say that that is really horrible. What is the purpose of them? It is bad that they, Soros and his cohorts are preying upon young people to take part in this kind of mayhem. I know that some are doing it for other reasons, but let's face it, many need the money. Despicable.

Gammi ago

I believe the purpose of them is to cause unrest, chaos, and anarchy, all the things happening are to undermine the USA anyway they can....the lefts banner cry is 'With Chaos comes Order'.....and they will control that order is what they are striving for, the New World Order.......that is what tearing all our history down is about, our monuments, yes terrible things happened in the past, but we strive to be better, but you don't erase our past, you learn from it, the Taliban blows up monuments, now we have a minister in Chicago that wants to tear down a monument of Washington, and rename a Park that is named after him, it is crazy but it is all pointing to one goal, the downfall of America.....as Khrushchev said back in the 60s......America will be destroyed from within......this is the beginning of that historical quote.

carmencita ago

I agree with everything you said, but in my heart I must say I hope we are both wrong.

bopper ago

Yeah I just now saw it. Wonder how they think they can hide. Or, thought, they could hide.

carmencita ago

I think some of them are older and do not know the power of the internet. How else could they be so dumb? It is almost comical. I am waiting for someone to out some of the actors. We have a lot of really smart people on the internet.

bopper ago

They can't hide nowadays, yeah, it is indeed comical.

carmencita ago

Then rules must be enforced. If they want to protest they must have a permit. Otherwise they must be arrested. Whichever side.

AssFaceSandwich2 ago

At what point did we accept the "rule" that people need a quite-possibly-denied-permit to protest? Could that be a part of this mess, solidifying that Deep State desire?

carmencita ago

Idk, how we solve this, but in Europe people get out in the streets by the thousands. They protested the TPP in Germany with thousaands and I bet they did not have to have permits. The problem is over here, if we did not have permits, with the media being in their pockets, they could quickly turn anything into a horrible mass pandemonium event. It seems that does not happen over there, or maybe I am mistaken, but have not heard of it. I still think all those people that did not have a permit to be there should have been immediately arrested. But we now know what they were not.

Gammi ago

Yes, but unfortunately lawlessness now days is rewarded......and the left does not care about the law, they only want to make those who respect the law look bad so, they join the protest with evil intentions, and a permit means nothing to an anarchist....and what police do you trust, look at the DC police who can you trust there....to many cockroaches have invaded the house.....and then you have the leftist media reporting everyone in the protest were Nazi's because, they are in the business of making law abiding citizens look bad as well.

carmencita ago

I do agree with what you are saying, I just abhor violence. There are many obstacles put forth by the New Community Policing and with Antifa and Soros and they know how to play this game because they have been playing it for decades. There are people on both sides speaking out against Trump so it is hard to point fingers at the other side. It is hard to convince people there is something rotten with these groups when both parties are out to take him down. I did not vote for Trump but I am willing to give him a chance. I don't like what is happening either. I am watching Heather Heyer's mother on TV give the eulogy and I want to slap her. She is a fake and a well paid fake I am sure.

Gammi ago

I understand what you are saying and, how you feel, I did vote for Trump because the thought of Hillary winning scared the heck out of me!......I know there is bad on both sides, but when it comes to keeping score as to who has the most points at causing chaos and rioting the left wins hands down.

carmencita ago

I am sad to say that there are people in the Dem. Party that are controlling these horrible groups and I do agree they have the upper hand. The Antifa and BLM are shameful and are playing a horrible trick on their Dem supporters. Those that are not awake.
