Holier-that-thou

[Vern Humphrey]

Mayor Lori Lightfoot defended the Chicago Police Department banning protesters from the block where she lives, citing her right to safety.

The Democratic mayor said her family requires heightened security due to threats she receives, but did not elaborate.

I note she can't play the race card. Has she shouted "homophobic !" yet ?

[Vern Humphrey]

Not to my knowledge.

Just to be clear, people are literally complaining that police are being used to prevent a crowd from sacking the mayor's house.

They're complaining about the monstrous HYPOCRISY of using cops to protect this "special person," while ordinary people are left to the mercy of the mob.

There is no mob.

So in other words it's literally okay to sack the Mayor's house if the mayor is a Democrat, but not a Republican.

You people are like Communists, but for race. I mean that quite seriously. Back in the day, before the Great War, Communists were biding their time, waiting for the moment when capitalism collapsed and they would swoop in and take over. Until that moment, coalition politics were something to be refused. Why help keep things from getting worse or maybe make them better when you can play for time and someday win the whole enchilada?

But just as capitalism did not collapse then, race problems will not prove insurmountable now, despite yours and Trump's determination to exploit them for maximum advantage.

It's just that she's more equal.

What a switcheroo!!! The American hating, lying, agitating, Communist extremist, and traitor is calling law abiding, hard working, tax paying, citizens, and Christians, communists and claims HE is the Capitalist. Togor is all for burning the flag, spitting on veterans, wants to tax private enterprises and corporations out of existence! He claims he is pro gun but praises and votes for the likes of Peelosis the Clintons, Shumer and all the rest of the anti gun crowd. He is all for the mobs that have killed 30 people and burned down 100's of millions of both private and Federal property. He wants erase history and get rid of any reference to real American heroes and substitute George Flyod and Michael Brown. Why is a complete piece of human debris stirring up and provoking violence while overthrowing and annihilating the greatest country in the history of mankind? Money? Maybe... Maybe he is just another jackass that believes in Valhalla and Utopia..

NO!!!! You're the one saying it's OK for the cops to stop the mob from hurting a Democrat while, it is just fine and dandy for the mob to burn down the White House with Trump inside it.

[togor]

Okay RED, a couple of points.

No one here excuses looting, but when you measure the theft in units of Bannons (1 Bannon = $1M worth of stolen property), then things take on a different perspective.

Second, calling the Race War enthusiasts "Communists, except with race" is accurate if unexpected. Because just as Commies were waiting for things to fall apart economically before swooping in, the "Racies" are doing the same, with racial strife as their signature issue.

I'm curious to see if Trump runs the convention as "American Carnage 2". Most sequels don't hold up, and the original in this case sucked big time.

Yes, because she defends their other depredations against people without police protection.

Sure you do, implicitly--countless times you've said "people" (meaning the rioting worthless scum) are more important than property. (The property of others, not your own.)

Just shows the limits of your perception. In your view, anyone protesting police violence against blacks is a BLM-Looter-Terrorist and should be shot on sight, and anyone who disagrees with your characterization is as guilty as if they had handed someone the brick or bottle of gasoline. Someday reasonable people will discuss this subject and you will not be among them. You're like a Communist, but on the subject of race relations.

LIES, LIES, LIES... Nobody is protesting about anything, They are looting, robbing, killing, attacking cops, and burning property. They are not just walking down the street carrying signs and singing songs. They are thieves, arsonists, and rioters. Burning a million dollars of cop cars ain't protesting.

Back in the 1960's we held hands and sang "We Shall Overcome," and that was a protest. The jerk kicking the guy and trying to kill him apparently fits your definition of a peaceful "protester."

The real killing will start soon when BLM makes their move just before the election. You ain't seen nothing yet.
