    Here you go Jack. I think it's completely obvious that police arrest people needlessly in order to get them into the system, finger printed and pictured to create a record for the future. Obvious.

    It's hilarious how you've repeatedly claimed in thread after thread that you're some moderate and now you readily admit you're a right winger. You were pegged accurately right from the start. Being dishonest about what you really believe is a Trumpanzee trait.

    I'm not a moderate. I think my 'right' views are moderate and center. Maybe a right, moderate? I've been pretty consistent about stopping and correcting anyone who said they thought I was undecided or whatever. I'm not a Trump fan. But I'm completely against what I've witnessed coming from the left over these last 3.5 yrs. And as I've said a couple of other times. You won't convince me otherwise and I have no illusions that I'll convince you either. And I also support your right to have the political views that you have. I'm not sure where people get the idea that I'm an undecided or whatever you guys think a moderate is.

    Edit: You won't find a single thread where I've presented myself as a left winger or anything other than right wing. You'll find several where I have corrected people to set the record straight. I'm on the right.

    I think "agitator" would be better. It makes it more clear that it's a label given to some by other people and not something you picked for yourself. I talked about this in another thread, about my experience in London protests, but I am more convinced now that we want more involvement by semi-pro protesters. That come to protesting with a more workman-like dedication to be organized, disciplined, and purposeful. Some may espouse non-violence, others maybe want violence. Either one might want to go home at night and either one might be looking to get arrested. Either one might call themselves antifa. You can probably call the whole lot "agitators." If they're organizing violence, I don't want them around; I want them arrested. But protesters who are organized and agitating and maybe even funded by George Soros, if they are nonviolent then we're cool. Having people who know how to protest well keeps everyone safer.

    As for the bail, I actually think it is in your best interest. People are innocent until proven guilty, so our aim isn't to keep those people of the streets until their guilt is actually proven. Respecting their rights makes it likelier your rights will also be respected when you have need of them.

    uggghhhh.... I hate it when I'm wrong. Great post, Mr. Valdez. I still want credit for the term 'agitators' though.

    There he is! The guy who hung out with a gang of right wingers to videotape the response of bar patrons in Portland attacked by thugs. He’s a class act.

    Phantom Menace: Sunrise Movement

    We can lump them in with the rest of the agitators. They look innocent enough with a noble cause but... they're kinda agitating me.
    Crap, there seems to be several youth movements dedicated to mobilize and attend rallies and shock the system. Defunding the police was not a new rallying cry either.

    I think I posted earlier about eating some crow about Antifa..... I'm not ready to eat yet, but I'm disturbed by the amount of activist groups that are out there, ready to ***** **** up. They are pretty well organized and there's a bunch of different ones all over the US and Europe.

    You're saying he faked getting the **** kicked out of him by Antifa? He's hanging his hat on that story. I've seen a bunch of stories about it but you're the first I've heard say he faked it. If that's what you're saying.

    Edit: Found a Vox story.

    Not saying that, no. I am saying he got the **** kicked out of him because he is a tool of right wing groups to record the aftermath of violent provocations. He also posts names and pictures of protestors who were arrested so that his Nazi followers can harass and threaten them. All of this is documented on this board. He’s garbage.

    No, they are a series of fine outstanding organizations that can be trusted to uphold the law without pride or prejudice.


    Hey Jack, hows that?
