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.”

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.

And of course real anti-fascists know that -- they don't run around with clubs and do violence in order to protest the violence of White Supremacists!

There something very odd about the whole event on Friday.

Yes, I agree. I also think there may be more to come. I am hoping people will start getting the drift of what is going on. There is stuff opening up now on the internet. Let's keep our fingers crossed, if people wake up about this, it may all fall into place. I think they are pushing the envelope.

Will take time for those who investigate/research this stuff to find out what actually happened. But all of it seems very odd. :)

Yeah, well I think we know it was not as reported. I am wondering if there were people really taken to hospitals and jails or was that part fake as well. Were they taken to another place if they were the "crisis actors"? How do we know? And the Mother of Heyer sheds not one tear on any of her TV spots, the father either. Granted sometimes people get so angry they look death in the face and act differently but not just once did they cry or not a cracked voice. So Fake.

That struck me as well. They are not acting like the parents of a freshly departed child at all, and the whole purple-wearing funeral thing was creepy too.

When are people going to wake up? It is so obvious if you are awake, I guess. They need to research and not believe everything right in front of their TV.
